Ok, we’re going to try and bring back the What Are You Wearing thread, but without the forum – all you need to do is post up an image of yourself with a few words in the comments section.

Kicking things off is a stalwart of the thread, the ever-dapper Claudio if the DNA Groove store. According to Claudio, this is what he was wearing the other day, clothing he describes as ‘a bit left of field’ with a two-button bum freezer jacket with wide lapels, light trousers and a pair of basket weaves.

Feel free to comment on Claudio’s gear (but remembering nastiness isn’t tolerated). If you want to post up an image of yourself, do it via the comments below. Just post up a picture and some words, the image will appear as a thumbnail, but will appear full-size if you click on it.

It doesn’t matter what you are wearing or how much you’ve spent. Just feet involved and show the mod world what you’re kitted out in today.

    at last! something to do at work,

    great look, love those shoes!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Claudio-De-Rossi/100001032311665 Claudio De Rossi

    Nice to have the honour to kick this off again. Shoes are made by Franchini and bought in London some 8 years ago. As you can see the wide brade makes them delicate (some brades tend to loosen up) . Nice detail is that the brade is cut on the diagonal so that the patterns are ‘diamonds’  rather than a sqaure pattern (this means more leather is used = more expensive).

  • Ian B

    Excellent look (as always) Claudio!
    A big welcome back to the WAYW thread from someone far too nervous (& nowhere near well-dressed enough) to post

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Andy-Clarke/100001827277411 Andy Clarke

    True modernist – mixing it up a bit, but staying sharp. Really digging this 20′s meets 60′s look often do similar myself.

    Very nice indeed, wouldn’t suit me but works very well!

  • Kevin Fitz

  • Leeboy

    Looking good as always Claudio. Some empty retail units in my town if u fancy setting up shop in uk!!!!!!!!!

  • modculture

    Click on text box, add your text, then click the +image – that should show a thumbnail.

    Then post and your image should appear, once it has been approved (there’s a safety block for obvious reasons when it comes to posting images).

    Once approved, your image should appear. I’m doing this on a Mac, so no problem there. Might be a problem if you are not signed in to the comments system if you are posting images though.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Claudio-De-Rossi/100001032311665 Claudio De Rossi

    Excuse the bad quality pictures, but gives an idea: chinos, suede brogue boots, sky OCDB, blue cord trucker jacket.

  • MODSTAN

    Nice claudio, love the shoes.

  • Mark

    We got a new start at work, only 18, so I had to talk to him about what I do. But he was wearing a button down without the buttons being buttoned down. I managed to hold out for about 15 minutes before I asked him to do his buttons, is that so wrong of me??? how many other people have have that urge when they see button down collars flapping in the breeze????? 

    • Kevin

      • Tom

        Nice, I fancy the red and white deckchair stripe gant s/s popover, birthday next weekend, might be a personal gift.

        • http://www.facebook.com/josejdavila Jose Davila

          That red and white stripe popover is a very well made shirt… I highly recommend that you get it while you can… I compared mine with a vintage Gant popover and it is a perfect repro … it also has a bit of a beach boys vibe, which I love… perfect for summer…may have to get me a second one as a backup…

    Hallo! No photo for me today… Neither here nor on “Talk Ivy” :) – just stepping in here, always wanted to register on Modculture, and when I really did it was impossible – shortly before the Fora crashed. That was over a year ago, back then I’ve been more “Mod” than today, as the Ivy League influence is growing and growing. Still far away from being 100% “Ivy”, still sporting a bit of “Mod”. Guess I’m having more of a crossover look between Italian style, Brit style, fashion, Mod and Ivy League with the main focus on Ivy… if that makes sense.

    Today’s effort:

    grey shorts
    navy Lambretta “Target” T-shirt
    woven striped belt navy/white/red-/white/navy
    light blue chambray Espadrilles (can’t wait to get my Rivieras Leisure shoes in navy)
    tortoise 60s style Ray Bans (dunno the model, rather confusing today, not like in the old days when there were just Wayfarers, Aviators, Outdoorsman etc.)
    straw Trilby hat “Stetson Linton” against sun c’ause of beginning baldness

    awfully hot in Vienna, almost southern

  • Mark Armstrong

    Black shoes, Black Lycra shorts and the same yellow jersey Ive had for days! Bradley W.
    only joking, but aint Bradley Wiggins absolutely fantastic in the Tour de France?
