Male Fashion Advice

Let's start off with you referring to yourself as part of the company: "We are proud to unveil".

You know that summary got pulled automatically from the site when I pasted the link into the field, right?

Let's continue with the fact that you're not saying, "Hey, this blazer looks cool"; instead, you're promoting an entire product line, including "outdoor games, and home decor".

I'm not promoting anything. I shared a link to a lookbook.

Are you not capable of looking for yourself and forming your own opinions? Do I need to break down the history and meaning of Rowing Blazers in order to post a damn lookbook? If you're curious—and I know you're not—I'd recommend listening to Jack Carlson's episode of Handcut Radio.

You also commented literally two minutes after I posted. You didn't wait and see if I had something to say about the lookbook, you instantly complained.

Some menswear brands do things other than menswear. Culture is often a multi-faceted thing. ALD collaborates with Porsche. I know a menswear brand that sells replicas of stolen ashtrays.

And finally, let's note that you're explicitly saying "available at Target stores across the U.S. on September 23rd", meaning (unless you do work for one of these companies), you haven't even handled any of these items yet. You don't know the fit, the feel, the quality, anything other than "Gee, that looks interesting".

Yes, this is a thing people do, they share lookbooks for clothes that look interesting and then they talk about those clothes. Every fucking fashion community includes people sharing lookbooks, and almost all of those lookbooks come out before the clothes are actually available. Do I think target-made clothing is going to be super high quality? No. Do I think it's an interesting option for people on tighter budgets to consider? Yes. Could you not figure that out? Did I need to explain it to you?

You want to post to help a quiet sub, great. But if the only thing you really know is that something looks interesting, maybe you should just say "Hey, I saw this and it looked interesting", instead of everything you actually said. If you want to avoid being called a spammer, maybe you should avoid sounding like a company shill.

I didn't say anything, I posted a lookbook with the summary pulled direclty from the site. If you think lookbooks are spammy, you might want to try contributing something better yourself instead of whining.
