Best of all, Tim has this look that betrays that in his own he’s absolutely slaying it with this look. I’d put money on a bet that the suit is probably from some over hyped designer brand (likely Armani because … Tim).

    It’s a tradition that started because King Edward VII was too fat for his coat, so he stopped buttoning the bottom button. Not long after, the British aristocracy began doing the same.

    It is silly when you realize that’s the origin, but most people don’t realize that’s what started it (especially on a leftist site). It’s just become one of those unacceptable faux pas when wearing a suit, and jackets today are tailored in a way that anticipates that the bottom button is never fastened.

      yeonmi-park the anglos loved their dear long dead leader so much they make buttons on their suits that they aren’t supposed to fasten in reverence for him

      Okay I see what you mean now with jackets being tailored that way, the button being buttoned gives Dim Tool’s suit some weird wrinkles. They should just do away with the button once and for all though.

      Wearing a beanie with a suit is absolutely hideous though. Like I have no fashion sense and even I’m cringing. What the fuck is it with mediocre white dudes and turning their bad fashion sense into their whole image.
