We all know how buff Gil is build right? So how about Gil goes shopping for himself and Thena decides to go with him and he is struggling to find something fitting? Would be a funny story! You choose in wich AU it’s happening 😂
"Thena, thank fuck you're here!"
Thena laughs as Gil rushes over to her as soon as she steps foot into the department store. He called her at work, which had really freaked her out given they hadn't been back home for too long. And they had been keeping Gil in the flat as much as possible, careful about who might see him out and about if he roamed too freely.
But he likes running errands, like getting groceries and little household supplies. He keeps the flat immaculate and prepares beautiful meals for them, since what else is he supposed to do with his days, she supposes.
"Why are the sizes so complicated?" he frowns at her, holding a few different shirts of the same make in his hands. "I just thought I was stopping by to grab some clothes for around the house. But now I've been here for 45 minutes and I don't know what size I am anymore."
Thena laughs, taking the shirts from him to at least physically alleviate his burden. She flips through them, looking at the tags of each. "Did you really pick up one in every size?"
"Except small," he shrugs, joining her as she walks them back to the men's section.
"Does a medium fit you?" she asks, her eyes just starting to drift over him before she stops herself. That's not a good idea.
"Well, sometimes American sizes will fit me," Gil offers helplessly. "Korean shirts basically always had to be tailored for me."
Thena's eyes flicked down to his arms for just a second. Yes, she could see how that might be a problem for him. "Let's start with a regular old large for now."
Gil sighs, though. "That's the problem, though."
Thena raises her brows.
"Just," he takes the shirts from her hands again and leads her back to the changing room he had abandoned to go wait for her, "come with me."
Thena sets her purse down as she takes a seat outside of the stalls. She can see a mess of other articles of clothing in the room before he closes the door. She wonders if he's really only been here for 45 minutes.
"See?" Gil practically whines, holding his hands out in front of him in a helpless gesture. "They're too tight."
Thena blushes, although she tells herself not to. It's silly, really. She was so used to seeing Gilgamesh in business suits all throughout her time working for him. But just a t-shirt and jeans are working for him.
Gil pouts as she stands to examine the way the seams of the sleeves dig into his biceps. "It's kind of fine otherwise."
Actually, it's already a little looser everywhere else than he would like, she thinks. She tilts her head, "I don't know, Gil."
Gil slumps his shoulders again. "See?--this is exactly why I called you. I don't know what I was thinking trying to come here by myself."
Thena shakes her head; this is exactly the kind of thing that made her develop feelings for him in the first place. This man and his stupid sweetness. "Maybe this just isn't the type of shirt for you. Sometimes different brands will fit different, too."
"Why's it so difficult?" Gil bemoans as she sends him back into the changing room.
"I couldn't tell you, I'm afraid," she laments. She has her own troubles with clothes simply with a female body. "I did a lot of my clothes shopping online in Korea."
That and sometimes things wouldn't quite fit her in the bust, so she had to take up buying dresses and learning to live with a revealing neckline and just wearing a cardigan or sweater over them.
"Maybe I should just do that," Gil mutters as he emerges, all of his finds - and failures - piled up in his arms.
"We'll find you something," she assures him, taking his picks from him and leaving them in the bin to be sorted before returned to the shelves. She slips her hand into the crook of his elbow (just this once, she tells herself).
"What about you, Naekkeo?" he smiles at her.
This isn't the first time he's used some cute little pet name on her like it's nothing--like it's normal for them. She tells herself not to let it get to her every time. "What about me?"
"We're here," Gil states, gesturing to the store around them. "We should shop for stuff for you too."
"I don't need anything," Thena laughs at his eager face.
"But Thena," he pleads, as if he's asking for something for himself instead of trying to convince her to let him take her shopping.
"These might actually be a good choice for you," she muses as she feels the soft material of the thick-knit sweaters and cardigans. They'll stretch to accommodate those arms of his without them having to go two full sizes up from his usual.
"Huh," he notes as he takes one from her, slipping off his jacket and slipping the cardigan on in its place. "What do you think?"
Goddammit, it looks great on him. Despite the very mundane article of clothing, he makes it look borderline salacious with it unbuttoned around him, the sleeves pulled partially up his thick forearms.
Thena bites her tongue; he looks damn sexy, is what she thinks. "It looks nice."
Gil beams at her approval, proudly laying it over his arm as he continues to float next to her. "Maybe I should just be a cardigan guy."
Thena smiles, pawing through a few more stacks of sweaters and knits. "That's quite a shift from your usual attire."
"Well," Gil sneaks a look at her and slides their hands together. "I have to look the part if I'm gonna be a househusband here, right? Soft clothes and aprons and oven mitts?"
Thena just laughs, although she's already getting a little too use to thinking of Gil like that. She tries to tell herself not to, of course. They're not married--they're not together. She's protecting him by moving him here.
But whether they're together or not, his hand tightens around hers, and she lets it, smiling all through the rest of the store.

'Cillian Murphy was spotted wheeling his suitcase out of his hotel in Paris after the premiere of his new film Oppenheimer on Tuesday night.
The actor, 42, looked fresh as he donned a simple navy T-shit and black trousers as he departed the city, hiding behind a pair of dark shades.
His co-stars from the film, which has so far received rave reviews, were also pictured departing the French capital following the promotional event.
Emily Blunt cut a casual figure in a floral button-up, shirt-style jumpsuit covered in pink lilies.
Sporting a pair of round pink shades, she paired the outfit with white trainers as she slung her bag over her shoulder and headed from her hotel.
It seems the film was a raging success and critics are absolutely swooning over the biopic about the scientist known as the 'father of the atomic bomb'.
Journalists have taken to Twitter to share their glowing reviews of the movie, with one critic describing how the film 'split my brain open' and 'left me sobbing through the end credits'
Their co-star Robert Downey Jr was also spotted in a somewhat eclectic outfit choice as he left the French capital with multiple bags swung over his shoulders.
Clashing colours together, the actor wore a teal green pair of trousers with a khaki sweatshirt jacket, navy baseball cap and neon orange bag.
Disguising his appearance, the 58-year-old hid behind his shades, cap and face mask as he made his way through the city.
Also donning shades, Matt Damon left Paris with his family in a casual black t-shirt and navy trousers as he walked with his daughters.
His family were gathered to support their dad at his latest premiere as they stunned in glamorous family shots.
Last night the four stars joined their fellow cast members at the Cinema Le Grand Rex to celebrate their hotly-anticipated biopic.
Emily looked glamorous as ever as she cut an elegant figure in a green satin gown with padded shoulders and a collared neckline as she made sure to capture attention.
She added a few extra inches to her frame with a pair of silver pointed stilettos and accessorised with droplet Anita Ko earrings.
The Mary Poppins star, who is playing physicist Oppenheimer's wife Kitty in the biological thriller, styled her golden locks in glamorous waves.
She accentuated her striking features with lashings of mascara and a touch of pink lipstick as she posed for the cameras.
Meanwhile, Irish actor Cillian cut a suave figure in a navy suit, made up of smart trousers and a fitted blazer.
He styled his smart ensemble with a beige shirt and a matching tie, while he completed the look with patent black boots.
The Peaky Blinders star styled his dark locks in a middle parting as he smiled for photographs alongside his A-list co-stars.
Cillian is playing Dr J. Robert Oppenheimer, the 'father of the atomic bomb', in the £81million blockbuster directed by Christopher Nolan.
Oppenheimer was the director of the laboratory which designed the atomic bomb during World War Two as part of the top-secret Manhattan Project.
The film is being adapted from the 2006 book American Prometheus: The Triumph And Tragedy Of J. Robert Oppenheimer, by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin.
The book, which won the Pulitzer Prize, details Oppenheimer's personal life and his time leading the Manhattan Project in the early and mid-1940s.
The film is set to be released on July 21 and a whole host of the A-list cast flocked to Paris to celebrate its release on Tuesday.
Also in attendance at the premiere was Matt Damon, who is starring as Lieutenant General Leslie Groves - an engineer who directed the Manhattan Project.
Matt, 52, cut a dapper figure in a navy blue suit, which he styled with a plain white T-shirt and brown boots.
He slicked back his silver locks and appeared to be in jovial spirits as he smiled and waved at photographers.
Matt was also sweetly supported by his daughters Isabella, 17, Gia, 14, and Stella, 12 - who he shares with Luciana Barroso.
Luciana's daughter Alexia, 24, from her former relationship with Arbello Barroso - who Matt adopted, also smiled for group snaps with her sisters.
Robert Downey Jr also looked as dapper as ever in a dark blue suit, which he teamed with a matching satin tie and black shoes.
The Hollywood star, 58, sported a pair of square black tinted glasses and appeared in good form as he playfully posed for the cameras.
He is portraying Lewis Strauss, who served two terms on the US Atomic Energy Commission.
The cast is also made up of Florence Pugh - who plays Oppenheimer's mistress - Kenneth Branagh, Rami Malek and Josh Hartnett.
Gary Oldman is also said to have a cameo in the epic as President Truman.
Truman met Oppenheimer after the bombs were used in 1945, killing 200,000 people, and the scientist said that he felt he had blood on his hands.
Truman had little use for such pangs of conscience and dismissed him as a 'crybaby scientist'.
The cast have been busy promoting the film together over the past few weeks and Robert Downey Jr - who plays Lewis Strauss - recently shared a snap of them all.
He posted the picture of himself with Matt, Cillian, Emily and John Krasinski, and even hinted at a possible cameo from Emily's husband.
'Linking up with my Oppenheimer cast mates...wait, is that a Krasinski photo bomb or might there be a surprise cameo???' he captioned a photo shared to his Instagram on Sunday.'

Travel Companion: When travelling, cargo pants offer both style and convenience. The numerous pockets provide ample storage for essentials like your phone, wallet, and passport, while the relaxed fit ensures comfort during long flights or sightseeing tours.
The Evolution of Cargo Pants
Cargo pants trace their roots back to military attire, where they were designed to meet the practical needs of soldiers in the field. The original design featured multiple large pockets strategically placed around the legs, providing ample storage space for essential gear and equipment.
As military surplus clothing gained popularity in civilian fashion during the late 20th century, cargo pants transitioned from the battlefield to the streets. Their practical design and rugged aesthetic appealed to a broader audience, including outdoor enthusiasts, urban dwellers, and fashion-forward individuals seeking functional yet stylish clothing options.
Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, cargo pants experienced a surge in popularity, becoming a hallmark of casual wear and street style. They were embraced by subcultures such as skateboarding, hip-hop, and grunge, further cementing their status as a fashion staple.
In recent years, cargo pants have undergone a resurgence, fueled by a renewed interest in utilitarian fashion and practical clothing choices. Designers and brands have reimagined cargo pants with modern updates, incorporating slim fits, tapered legs, and innovative materials to appeal to contemporary tastes.
The Appeal of Cargo Pants
What sets cargo pants apart from traditional trousers and jeans is their unparalleled functionality and versatility. Here are some reasons why cargo pants continue to captivate modern men:
Practicality: The abundance of pockets allows for convenient storage of everyday essentials such as keys, wallets, smartphones, and even small gadgets.
 This practical feature makes cargo pants ideal for individuals who prefer to travel light without sacrificing functionality.
Durability: Constructed from sturdy fabrics like cotton twill or ripstop nylon, cargo pants are designed to withstand rugged use and outdoor activities. Their robust construction makes them a reliable choice for various environments and weather conditions.
Comfort: Cargo pants are renowned for their relaxed fit and freedom of movement, making them incredibly comfortable for all-day wear. Whether you're lounging at home, running errands, or embarking on outdoor adventures, cargo pants provide unmatched comfort and ease of movement.
Versatility: From casual outings to semi-formal occasions, cargo pants can be effortlessly dressed up or down to suit any setting or style preference. They seamlessly transition from Day to night, offering endless styling possibilities for the modern man.
Iconic Style: With their distinctive silhouette and practical details, cargo pants exude a sense of rugged charm and timeless appeal. Whether paired with sneakers, boots, or loafers, cargo pants add a touch of urban edge to any ensemble.
Cargo Pants in Contemporary Fashion
In today's fashion landscape, cargo pants have transcended their utilitarian roots to become a symbol of contemporary style and individual expression. Here's how modern men are incorporating cargo pants into their wardrobes:
Streetwear: Cargo pants are a staple in streetwear culture, where they are often paired with oversized hoodies, graphic tees, and chunky sneakers for a laid-back yet edgy aesthetic. Street style enthusiasts embrace the versatility of cargo pants, using them as a canvas to showcase their unique personality and creativity.
Athleisure: The rise of athleisure wear has elevated cargo pants to new heights of popularity, blurring the lines between activewear and everyday attire. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts appreciate the comfort and functionality of cargo pants, which seamlessly transition from the gym to casual outings with friends.
Minimalist Fashion: In minimalist fashion circles, cargo pants are prized for their clean lines and understated elegance. Paired with neutral basics such as white T-shirts, monochrome sweaters, and minimalist sneakers, cargo pants add a touch of sophistication to minimalist ensembles while maintaining a sense of practicality and ease.
Workwear-Inspired Looks: Inspired by the rugged aesthetics of workwear, cargo pants have found their place in contemporary menswear collections. Designers reinterpret classic workwear silhouettes with modern updates, incorporating utility pockets, reinforced stitching, and adjustable waistbands for a fresh take on traditional styles.
Tips for Choosing and Styling Cargo Pants
Selecting the Right Fit: When choosing cargo pants, opt for a fit that complements your body type and personal style. Slim or tapered fits offer a modern silhouette, while relaxed fits provide a more casual and laid-back look.
Exploring Color Options: While classic hues like khaki, olive, and navy are timeless choices, don't be afraid to experiment with bold colours or camouflage prints to make a statement. Consider the versatility of neutral tones and the visual impact of vibrant shades when selecting cargo pants for your wardrobe.
Layering with Purpose: Layering is key to creating depth and visual interest in your outfits. Experiment with different textures, fabrics, and lengths to achieve a well-balanced ensemble. Consider layering a lightweight jacket over a hoodie or a denim shirt over a plain tee for added dimension.
Accessorizing Thoughtfully: Accessories can elevate your cargo pants outfit and add a personal touch to your overall look. Opt for minimalist accessories such as leather belts, metal bracelets, and classic watches to complement the utilitarian aesthetic of cargo pants without overwhelming the ensemble.
Mixing and Matching: Don't be afraid to mix and match different pieces to create unique and stylish combinations. Experiment with contrasting colours, patterns, and styles to discover new ways to wear your cargo pants and express your individuality.
Embracing Cargo Pants for Every Occasion
Whether you're lounging at home, exploring the great outdoors, or attending a social gathering, cargo pants offer endless styling possibilities for every occasion:
Weekend Getaways: Pack your cargo pants for weekend getaways and outdoor adventures. Pair them with a lightweight jacket, hiking boots, and a backpack for a comfortable and functional ensemble that's ready for exploration.

9 Ways to style SKIRT
If you're tired of wearing jeans and trousers, switch things up by putting together a skirt. Putting on longer layers like tights or jeans when cold outside is a pain, but wearing a short skirt is much more convenient in the warmer months. A longer skirt looks great with boots or sandals year-round. Skirts are always better than skinny jeans, regardless of trend. This piece offers advice on how to style your skirt best. So, keep reading…
Tumblr media
•With a Graphic Tee Skirts can make you look put together, but they take on a completely different vibe when paired with a graphic tee. Style it with a knot and chunky combat boots, or dress it down for work by tucking it into your trousers and donning a blazer. Try pairing a graphic top with a patterned bottom. •With a Blazer It's safe to say that the Blazers won't go out of style in 2021 or any year. Pair it with a pencil skirt for a classic look, or mix it with a flowing mini or maxi for a tailored contrast. You can always go right with a well-placed belt if you prefer a more tailored silhouette and aren't a fan of the oversized trend. •Monochromatic Black Don't let anyone tell you that wearing all black is out of place during the warmer months. While the weather is still cool, pull out your favourite knee-high boots to wear. For the upcoming season, store your go-to flats and flops. •Mixing and Matching In fashion, "matching" is more of a preference than a rule. So, match that tie-dye top with that plaid skirt and stripes with polka dots. You can use complementary colours but don't have to. •With Button Down Add structure to a flowy maxi skirt with a button-down shirt. Tucking your waist into high-waisted bottoms, tying it in a knot, or wearing a belt can highlight it. •With Socks Socks or tights look just as good with skirts as sourdough. You can find a pair of socks to complement any look you're going for, from preppy to sexy to sophisticated to punk and everywhere. •In True '90s Fashion This spring, dare to relive the '90s by wearing a printed miniskirt with a halter neck or polo shirt in a throwback pattern like gingham or daisy. Remember to wear a chunky cardigan if it's chilly out, and complement your outfit with knee-high boots or chunky Mary Janes. •With a Sweater Wear or keep a jumper or sweatshirt, like a cardigan, for chilly spring and summer nights. This keeps you warm with style. •Made of Leather Leather skirts are essential to capsule wardrobes for the coming seasons and beyond. You can look stylish wearing it with a white T-shirt or a ruffled blouse. Conclusion Trendy skirts are easy to move in. Remember the above tips to find the perfect winter skirt for any occasion. There are some things to remember when putting together cold-weather skirt outfits. Wear a skirt that accentuates your best features. This year, look your best.

Last Updated on 22nd December 2022 When it comes to looking good, not all of us want to pull out a suit and tie. We want to be comfortable while still looking sharp right? Well, If you’re searching for something comfortable yet still stylish, look no further than casual wear.  From classic tees and polos to modern-cut denim and blazers, our guide will provide plenty of inspiration on how to do casual wear. When it comes to casual style, comfort should always come first. Go for fabrics like cotton and jersey that feel cozy against your skin while avoiding anything too tight or constricting – nobody wants jeans so snug they make movement a challenge. And don’t forget the fit! A tailored look is key – have an expert tailor make adjustments as needed. Layering is a great way to take your look up a notch. A jacket or cardigan not only adds personality but gives you an effortless polished feel. For those cooler days when jackets just won’t cut it, switch ’em out for lightweight sweaters that still turn heads while keeping out any chills.  Sneakers are great for most men’s casual looks, but if you want to add a bit of sophistication try loafers instead. They’re comfortable, cool and will quickly become an essential wardrobe staple. Clashing prints can be cumbersome and take away from your overall look. Stick to the basics or match a couple of different prints together that complement one another. When choosing between items with interesting prints, opting for one statement piece does the trick best – let the rest of your outfit be simpler for an effortless, clean look,  When it comes to men’s casual wear, there are certain pieces that will always be in style… 1. Classic white t-shirt T-shirts are the perfect go-to for any casual wardrobe. Whether you’re after laidback, chill vibes, or a smarter look, a plain t-shirt plus jeans and sneakers are the ideal combo. Don’t be afraid to experiment with colour blocking; if you opt for a brightly coloured t-shirt and jacket, make sure the rest of your outfit is more muted for balance.  2. Denim jeans Jeans are versatile enough for nearly any occasion. Choose a pair of slim-fit jeans. The right fit should sit comfortably at your waist and taper slightly at the legs. There’s no need to stick to the classic blue. Grey, or black work well. For a smart casual look, try pairing your denim jeans with a tucked in button-down shirt and blazer or cardigan. Finish the look off with leather loafers. If you’re looking for something more laid-back, opt for a graphic tee or polo shirt and sneakers instead or add an edge to your outfit with distressed jeans.  3. Chinos When it comes to mens casual trousers, Chinos are a great choice for smart-casual looks. Neutral shades like navy or beige give off an effortless vibe. With Chinos, the key is to keep things neat and simple. For the top half, a plain t-shirt or polo shirt should do the trick – just make sure your shirt isn’t too tight or overly baggy. To add some texture, layer up with a hoodie or denim jacket. Then, complete your look with some fresh white sneakers or throw on a pair of loafers. Just remember to go sockless for maximum cool points. You can also dress up your chinos further by pairing them with a crisp collared shirt. 4. Oxford shirt This classic staple can easily be dressed down with a pair of jeans or dressed up with a blazer. We recommend investing in a really good quality oxford shirt, and once again keep it tailored and stick to neutral colours. In colder months, layer your shirt with a crew neck sweater for extra warmth and finish off the look with some relaxed trousers or jeans. To top it off, add a beanie – no matter how casual your outfit is, you’ll still look pulled together and put-together!  5. Blazer When choosing a blazer for a casual look, opt for something, tailored, lightweight and comfortable. Look for one made from linen, cotton, or even tweed – these fabrics are perfect for adding texture to your outfit without making it too formal.
You can also try playing with different colours and patterns – checks and stripes work especially well when paired with other casual pieces such as jeans and t-shirts.  6. Sneakers For a more relaxed, stylish look, go for low-top sneakers in canvas or suede materials. They pair nicely with shorts, jeans, and other casual wear items. Keep it simple when it comes to colors and patterns – solid colors work best especially when wearing luxury sneakers in a casual setting. 7. Bomber jacket Bomber jackets have earned their place as a casual staple in men’s fashion. They add an edge of cool to any look, whether it’s pairing a bomber jacket with jeans and a t-shirt or dressing them down further with sneakers and shorts. Available in a variety of materials and colors, there’s sure to be bomber jacket that matches your personal style. But remember to choose something that fits well and isn’t too oversized or baggy – otherwise you’ll end up looking more like Grandpa than stylish! 8. Hoodie A hoodie can be a great choice when it comes to casual outfits for men. It’s important to choose one that fits well and is made of quality material. Hoodies in neutral colors like black, white, grey and navy go best with casual looks. To smarten up your look, throw on a blazer or cardigan, alternatively pair your hoodie with chinos or dark jeans.  9. Polo Shirt  Polo shirts are a must-have for any man’s casual wardrobe. Whether you’re headed to the office or a casual outing with friends, a polo shirt can make the perfect statement. They’re also incredibly lightweight and breathable- making them ideal for the hotter months when layering isn’t an option. Accessorise your polo shirt with confidence – a pair of statement sunglasses or a stand-out watch can really elevate any casual outfit with a polo shirt.  10. Loafers From shorts and jeans to khakis and chinos, loafers can be paired with almost any look for a stylish yet comfortable outfit. For a classic pairing, wear loafers with dark hued jeans and an Oxford shirt. And if you’re looking for something even more laid back, try wearing your loafers with shorts and a polo shirt – perfect for warm weather style.  When it comes to men’s casual dressing, there are a wealth of options—from comfy tees and jeans to classic polos and shorts. Sneakers make any laid-back look complete when paired with jeans, but if you’re seeking something more formal then loafers are the go-to choice for sure. Top off your ensemble with some stylish accessories like sunglasses, watches, or a good-quality belt.  Copyright © 2023 my fashion life source

Every man should have a wardrobe of essential items that they can reach for on any given day, no matter the occasion or the weather. Having these items in your closet will provide you with the basics and help to make getting ready for the day easier and less stressful. Here are five essentials that every man should have in their wardrobe.
Essential 1: Basics
The first essential item is base layers such as t-shirts, tank tops, and underwear - these items should be comfortable, breathable, and fit correctly; they will form the basis of any outfit and help to keep you comfortable throughout the day. Make sure to stock up on neutral colors such as black, white, grey, and navy blue; these colors are easy to mix and match with other items in your wardrobe and can easily transition from day to night look effortlessly.
Essential 2: Formal Wear
The second essential item is formal wear such as dress shirts, suits, ties, dress pants, dress shoes - these pieces should be tailored to fit your body type correctly as they will give you an air of sophistication when attending formal events or going out on special occasions; they also look great when paired together for an effortless put-together look. Invest in classic pieces such as a navy blue suit or a white dress shirt that you can reach for again and again for years to come - don't forget to invest in good quality fabrics that won't wrinkle easily!
Essential 3: Outerwear
The third essential item is outerwear such as coats, jackets, sweaters - these pieces are important for keeping you warm during colder months; choose items made from wool or cashmere as they will provide insulation from the cold while being comfortable at the same time; opt for timeless designs such as pea coats or bomber jackets which can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion; classic colors are best when it comes to outerwear so opt for black, navy blue, charcoal grey or camel brown shades.  
Essential 4: Accessories
The fourth essential item is accessories such as hats, scarves, gloves - these items are not only useful during cold weather but also add style and personality to any outfit; choose classic styles such as fedoras or newsboy caps which can be paired with almost anything; scarves are also a great way to add color into your wardrobe without having to make drastic changes; if you're feeling daring try adding a pocket square into your blazer pocket or donning a bowtie!  
Essential 5: Shoes
Finally, the fifth essential item is shoes - this is arguably one of the most important pieces in any man's wardrobe; invest in good quality leather shoes that can take you from the office to after-work drinks without having to change them; choose versatile styles such as loafers or oxfords which look great when paired with both dressy and casual outfits alike; make sure your shoes are well maintained by polishing them regularly and storing them in shoe trees when not in use!

Outerwear Doesn’t Get Better Than This!
Tumblr media
You have a couple simple outfits in your wardrobe as well as your go-to black pants. You have all the bases covered with your go-to white shirt, a striped tee, and a few straightforward T-shirt choices. But what about outerwear?
If you want to add another layer and try out new patterns this season, redecorating your closet with some sophisticated and casual men's outerwear is the way to go. And can we talk about how, in recent years, coats and jackets have become such a fashion statement? Everything from the resurgence of vintage classics to fresh, contemporary interpretations on outerwear has been witnessed.
These essential items, which include knit sweaters, bomber jackets, and everything in between, may make your new season's fashion stand out from the crowd.
Which kind of clothing is best for you, then? Decide with our assistance!
Trench Coats & Capelets- You Name It!
Fall doesn't necessarily require you to replace your summer clothing with a bulky coat. You may have the best of both worlds if you wear the appropriate apparel!
Consider trench coats as an example. The ideal way to dress up any outfit, from jeans and a t-shirt to a formal dress, is with a timeless trench coat. You can select one that matches your personality because they are available in a range of colors and styles.
If you're searching for a statement-making piece of clothing that will make you stand out in a crowd, a casual trench coat is the way to go. Not to add, it's one of the most useful kinds of apparel you can get.
Essentially a shorter version of the traditional trench coat that men could don during the winter. It often has a wide belt, wide necklines, roomy compartments, and a button closing. It is typically made of cotton or a cotton/polyester combination.
The most alluring feature of trench coats this season is how adaptable and simple they are to wear. Wear them to go out for drinks with friends, on a casual date night with your significant other, or even on your way to work.
The ideal components for a layered wardrobe—whether it's a cape, a trench coat, or anything in between—voguing up a stylish appearance is the goal!
Sleek, Upscale & Everything More
Let's start by discussing the buttoned-up blazer. The buttoned-up blazer is a timeless piece of menswear that never goes out of style when it comes to casual outerwear.
Almost everything works with a blazer, from dress slacks and a button-down shirt to jeans and a t-shirt for a more relaxed look. You may easily create a casual look by pairing your blazer with some dark pants and a simple button-down shirt.
Variously, for a more upscale look, dress up your blazer with dress pants and a buttoned-up shirt.
You may tone it down with dress pants and a pair of oxford shoes for a more professional appearance or up with jeans and a pair of casual sneakers for a more laid-back vibe. In general, investing in some stylish and comfortable men's outerwear is the best approach to enhance your fall or winter outfit.
Conversely, knit sweaters are frequently made of a stronger cotton and are best suited for chilly temperatures.
Although knit sweaters are often constructed of a heavier material and are best suited for the fall and winter, there are also lighter variations that are appropriate for spring and summer days. Additionally, you can easily dress up your knit cardigan if you're looking for something a bit more formal by pairing it all with a pair of khakis and some slip-on shoes.
These are so easy to dress up or down with anything from jeans to chinos to khakis and beyond. Whether you're going to the office, out for drinks with friends, or just lounging on the couch with something like a good book, this outfit is your go-to for effortless and fashionable minimalism.
There is an outerwear option for you, whether you're looking for a chic, carefree trench coat or a cozy knit sweater. Keep those possibilities in mind when shopping for new clothing, and you'll be sure to locate something truly distinctive.

“She’s Mine Now” Jungkook x Reader
“A fiction in which Jungkook steals the girl from right under her lousy date’s nose”
I sort of made this concept for a fiction a bit ago and... I’m not sure this quite turned out as good as I wanted to but here goes hahahaha
Fiction Masterlist
Tumblr media
“Cheers guys!” the singer gratefully says to his audience through the microphone, showing gratitude for the amazing response to the song the band just played.
Applause fills the room as the band put down their instruments and get ready to relax during the interval between sets.
This is a great night for the pub; the drinks sales are pouring in and the crowd ebullient for the music provided by the band who are on fire tonight.
This date however… is not.
Your best friend had inaugurated a blind date after your little drunken breakdown around a week ago as you wept about feelings of loneliness and yet how you can’t help but feel hindered in moving on from your last relationship because of your dependency on it to be happy… Additionally there were also those insecurities and irrational fears about getting yourself back out there into the world of dating which didn’t exactly help your need to develop a more positive mind set.
“Tell you what?” beamed y/f/n. “How about I set you up with a friend?”
In theory, her suggestion actually sounded like a good idea; even if the date didn’t take you anywhere beyond a meal or a drink, it could be a good practice run at interacting with unfamiliar faces, maybe even a confidence booster.
You had gotten all dressed up to the nines in your little black dress: a simple, classy look one can never go wrong with. Slimming in all the right places, the garment perfectly hugs those curves, shows a little bit off, yet leaves plenty to the imagination. Alongside this dress you donned some matching heels which give you some extra height, but no so much so as to hurt your back, your prettiest dangly silver earrings with the black sapphire gems, and the gorgeous choker your friend bought you to compliment the rest of your ensemble.
“Well, not that you need it” she corrected herself after presenting it to you as a ‘good luck’ gift.
You remember scooping it up from inside the box and looking at the choker in amazement. It glistened under the light of the sunset which seeped through her living room window and looked striking with its three rows of sparkling black gems similar in appearance to the sapphires which your earrings hold. You wondered why she felt such a gesture was necessary or if you even deserved it.
“To be honest, I bought it for myself ages ago but I’ve never worn it” y/f/n clarified following your question. “It will suit you way better anyway, especially with those earrings”
You felt grateful to have such a kind hearted friend and it was the boost of encouragement you needed to get yourself out there this evening and go for it! To say yes to life! Yes to confidence! Yes to new opportunities!...
But this night, as far as this pairing is concerned, is turning out to be a great disappointment.
Sure, the band is great and the drinks are fine, but… this guy has no personality whatsoever, or at least he doesn’t have any traits or qualities you find preferable in a love interest. All he wants to do is talk your ear off and bore you with the details about how often he hits the gym, and then there was something about motorcycles you think, not fully engaging in what this dude has to say about himself. You’ve hardly been able to get a word in edgeways about yourself.
You always affirmed in your mind that looks are not everything. You never set sky rocketing expectations that he should have rock hard washboard abs or a razor sharp jawline; you know that life isn’t a movie. You didn’t care that when you first walked into the pub this evening that you were met by a man with mousy brown hair resembling the colour of the faded mahogany floor that met your feet, nor did you judge his typical smart-casual style consisting of a white v-neck, black blazer and jeans. The personality was what always mattered to you; the one thing that always sealed the deal.
“I’m just going to nip to the toilet! I’ll be right back!” you abruptly announce whilst your date is in mid-sentence about what hair product he uses which, by the way, is just a bit too much. You figure he must have put a bit too much mousse in his hair as it produces a greasy appearance even under the dim pub lighting that hovers above your heads.
“Sorry” you quietly apologise as you come to your feet and gather your black clutch bag and your phone from the small rounded surface of the tall shabby table.
After relieving yourself in the ladies room and finding yourself alone in there, you stare into the mirror to reflect in a contemplative way, ignoring the slight smudge of eyeliner beneath the outer corner of your right eye. 
There is barely anything you are enjoying about the evening. You scan your brain for all the possible excuses you could make for leaving early, but nothing seems good enough:
You can’t say you’re feeling ill because he’d only offer to walk you home and that in itself just seems like an unnecessary effort for your date who will most definitely offer to walk you home only to be rejected in any further advances he’s likely to make on you. In fact, you feel somewhat apprehensive at the idea of being alone with him although that could just be your mind speculating following on from when he placed his hand on your thigh a couple of times throughout the course of the evening.
Calling y/f/n doesn’t feel like an option. She went to so much effort in a sincere attempt to make her friend happy from hooking you up with this guy in the first place, to helping you get your makeup on point, (you never realized how good winged eyeliner on your top lids looks!) to even driving you to this pub.
Doing a runner through the beer garden and out the back gate just isn’t your style either. Rude, cowardly and insensitive; you just aren’t any of those things... You suppose you could stick this through a bit longer and get a couple of more free drinks out of this, right?
‘Jesus y/n, what have you stooped to?’ you wonder to yourself.
Pulling out one of your emergency make up wipes from being crammed inside your clutch bag, you correct the small problem that is the smudged eyeliner and promise yourself that you will try harder to stop yawning from boredom, and then ultimately chucking the used wipe in the bin of the nearest cubicle.
You stumble out of the toilets, kind of forgetting about the small step on the way down, causing you to wobble a bit as your reaction time to stop yourself from falling is a bit too slow. Your shoulder crashes into the chest of someone passing by and you instantly fill up with embarrassment, apologising profusely.
“Oh crap, I’m so sorry!” you exclaim, taking a quick glance at the stranger you knocked into, then your line of sight goes straight to your outfit as you smooth down your dress in the hope that it hadn’t raised up from your clumsy gesture.
“No worries!” the voice replies back, the man already walking into the distance and towards the garden when you look up. He gives a wave to show it’s okay, no harm caused. He looks familiar.
With a black crew neck shirt and black shorts, one would think his clothes would only blend in with his ebony hair but somehow, his appearance does feel so ordinary; his fringe is a little too long almost covering the eyes yet rather than the length weighing it down, it glides buoyantly as he turns his head. You couldn’t see the colour of his eyes but they felt warm and dark, like mocha.
The logical thinking side of your brain is clearly non-existent practically as you can’t make any guesses as to why you think you recognise him and you have to urge yourself to stop thinking so pensively. Lots of people look familiar that you’ve never met before, it’s just one of those things.
Entering the main bar room, heels clumsily clunking on the floor amidst the low chatter of the punters, you search for your date as you register he is no longer sitting at the table you left him at. You let out a small sigh, one of contentment as you jump to conclusions. However, your date spots you from the bar counter and beckons you over.
“Oh, aren’t we keeping our seats?” you inquire as he places a fresh drink in your limp hand.
“Mm-mm” he hums as if to say ‘no’. “I thought we could have one more for the road and then… move on, if you like?” he requests, raising an eyebrow half suggestively.
It is now quite obvious that this guy is more into you than you are him and a small wave of panic hits you as you struggle for a good response.
Glaring feedback from one of the guitars on stage interrupts the awkward moment as the band plug back in their instruments to do their next set. Though this noise makes many tense, it fills you with a solace; that sound means the band are back on; the band being back on makes the perfect excuse to stay.
“Oh, well whilst I wouldn’t mind saying yes to one more drink, I… I was actually really enjoying the band” you stammer, taking a sip of drink after.
“Same as last time please mate” the bartender says, requesting payment as he serves your date’s drink. A £10 note is placed in the bartender’s hand and a doubting smile is thrown your way.
“Oh, okay, sure” he replies, bringing his hand into his pocket having received some pennies. You can sense his efforts to be some smooth suave kind of guy for you tonight, one with genuine intentions, but it was only coming across minutely. Move on? And before the band have even begun their second half? Impatience, in reality, is what is coming across.
You decide to ignore that your date is probably not ecstatic with your placid response to his suggestion and you turn your focus to the live entertainment.
“Come one” you smile. “Let’s go to the front”
Your suggestion turns into command as you reach out for his non participating hand, grabbing his wrist anyway and practically dragging him there.
“One two…” the singer vocalises into the microphone to see if it’s turned on and the audience response is already bursting with positive hollers, anticipating cheering and fulfilling applause that resonates across the room.
“Alright, that’s definitely on” the singer chuckles sonorously, sweeping back his highlighted mahogany hair. 
“Here’s the next song to kick the night off a little…” he continues, hyping up the first song of the second half of the evening.
The main guitar riff begins the upbeat song which everyone immediately recognises causing many more layers of commotion in the room with whistling, singing along and feet stomping. You jig along to the song a little on your own, drink in hand and clutch bag under the same arm.
Oddly, you hoped your date might have wanted to dance with you, that maybe this dude might have at least one weeny small ounce of fun in him, but nothing. Halfway through the song, you glance over your shoulder, flash him a smile as you bop along and in return he sends you a rigid smile that for a split second makes you forget about how warm it’s getting amongst the crowd.
For the rest of the song, well tell a lie, the rest of their set, your eyes remained on the band. Along came more upbeat songs through which the occasional stranger would shuffle along and have a friendly dance next to you and then move along to the next amused punter with their terrible moves from 1982. There was the odd ballad to tug on the old heart strings and get everyone really singing along in the drunken semi-emotional messes they are; sweaty men with their arms around each other as the chorus hits, booming out the lyrics, mostly right, some wrong words, some really incorrect lyrics; young girls in their groups holding their drinks in the air and letting drops of wine spill onto the carefree souls behind as they sing the words correctly; couples in corners stopping their sessions of eating face to join in as they sing to one another with endearing looks.
Following a long string of songs came a drum solo to stall during a technical difficulty with the lead guitarist’s amp and you feel a bit dim-witted for not recognising that dude from earlier who is in fact the band’s drummer, who glances at you for a moment whilst he does a drum roll and your cheeks feel rosy. 
And then you blush a second time when it feels like he’s looking at you again. 
And again for a third time leaving you standing there both uneasy and perplexed as you recall why, when you bumped into that person not long ago, that face looked so familiar.
You conclude it’s the paranoia from the incident earlier as you analyse when and why he was looking in your direction those last few times. He was looking around the room as he played anyway. Every good performer gives their audience eye contact. In fact, he probably wasn’t even glancing at specifically you that first time, even. You shrug it off as the solo comes to an end with a crash cymbal ringing out eliciting a wide array of applause.
This time, you find yourself unable to put your hands together to make an appreciative sound. His eyes are burning into yours, a stare so mysterious, you can’t figure out what those eyes are trying to say to you. Like an idiot you can feel your jaw dropping slightly but you haven’t the focus to close your mouth before you catch a small fly and you’re not even sure you care that he’s smirking. It isn’t until the singer jumps back on stage and in front of the drummer that you snap out of it. 
“This dude is awesome, right?” you ask your date who has now finally decided to stand at your side rather than standing awkwardly behind you as you haven’t allowed him the opportunity once to grab your waist or hug you from behind.
“Yeah, I guess” he monotoned, raising a glass and taking a big chug of his drink.
“So do you know any other good places to go to ‘round here?” queries your date, daring to snake an arm around your waist, his warm breath hits your ear and the front of his blazer rubs uncomfortably on your arm. You note that this is probably the least sensual intimacy you’ve experienced as his eagerness to move on mildly unsettles you.
As you hold back the urge to scrunch up your face, you muster a reply with the intention to soften the blow for him that you’re just not feeling the connection. You’re going to play it calm and cool, and you intend to buy the next round of drinks, you know, to show that you aren’t just here for freebies.
“Uh places ‘round here?” you reiterate back just before the band begin their next song.
“1! 2! 3! 4!” the singer shouts into the mic before all the instruments kick in simultaneously to start the next song.
“To be honest, not really” you explain, raising your voice to be heard over the music and cheering. This actually isn’t a made up excuse when you tell your date this; this pub is probably one of the only pubs in town that isn’t a complete dive.
“Within about a 2 mile radius, this is probably the one and only bar without sticky floors or loos that smell like p… smell bad” you continue, correcting your language at the end of your sentence.
“Well, it doesn’t have to be a pub” he suggests, now finally making some eye contact with you. His stare is somewhat menacing but not in a totally mischievous way; it’s more of a gaze that raises suspicion, as though he might be up to something. “How about a club?” he hums with expectation. “You know, get some sick beats to dance to, do some shots, that kind of thing.”
Clubs. You really really didn’t care for them. Maybe when you were a few years younger perhaps, but there’s only so many times you can get inebriated enough to tolerate an atmosphere of needy blokes who want to spike unknowing girls’ drinks and people getting off in the corner and being forever unable to hear what any of your friends are saying.
‘Sick beats? What is this guy…’ you think to yourself.
“Hey, I’ll buy the next round, yeah?” you ask rhetorically, diverting the topic of going someplace else and slipping away from his hold as you go back to the bar to order, the queue which to your relief has become a vast one. At least in this waiting situation, something interesting will happen at the end and your patience will pay off. Probably you’ll look back on this moment as the highlight of the night.
*** 
“Thank you! You guys have been awesome! Good night!”
The last few chords and cymbal crashes are rung out to put an end to a brilliant evening of music eliciting once more the roars of applause and appreciation from the pub’s punters.
You’re now sitting at the bar with your date, engaging in conversation… 
...Not.
So actually, you’re just sitting on the stool next to this guy, a leg which is crossed over the other swinging back and forth repeatedly whilst you hold your almost empty glass. The applause dies down once the crowd gather the band won’t be coming back for yet another encore - they already did about six extra songs in total - and the room goes back into an agglomeration of chatter and clinking of glasses.
Forever the try hard type, a part of you wants to try just one more time tonight, and forever the self-deprecating type, you begin to doubt whether you gave this guy enough of a chance or not or that perhaps it’s you not sparking enough conversation. Deep down, you kind of realise you have indeed made more than enough of an effort and played your full hand in topics only to be dismissed from most of them… but the doubt about yourself is there nonetheless.
‘Fuck it, another round’ you think to yourself.
“Excuse me!” you call out to the bartender. 
“Same again for us two please!” you grin, leaning back on your stool ever slightly, lazily handing over another £10.
‘Right. Here goes. Try again.’
“So the band was on fire tonight weren’t they?” you smile to your date.
“Yeah, I suppose they were” he replies, his voice faltering a little. You can’t quite tell if or not the uncertainty in this voice is because he just finished the last sip of his drink and perhaps didn’t allow himself enough time to let it go down.
You’re quite sure now that sitting around just drinking and listening to some band all evening might not have been part of his plan; it seems this band tonight were kind of a last minute booking or maybe your date didn’t think the music would go on for so long… or something or other.
“So what kind of music do you like?” you pose, really hoping he doesn’t say anymore things that are deal breakers. You might just lose your shit and be known as that one loony girl at the pub who stormed out on her first date because the bloke she was sat with didn’t like the same music as her…
“Oh, you know, anything with a good beat, really. ‘Bit of drum and bass. Stuff that really gets the party going” he replies. 
You could just facepalm right here and now if it weren’t for the two drinks you are thankful to be slid your way… So basically, he likes anything he hears in the club. Wow. Very interesting(!)
Alright, so maybe there’s something else you can talk about. There must be some common ground somewhere here, right?
“Uh, I’m just gonna nip to the men’s room… I’ll be right back” he mutters, not even allowing you the chance to reply to him.
As your date makes his way through and disappears in the crowd, you find yourself in a bit of a trance, half trying to think of something to talk about when your date returns, half contemplating standing him up and leaving.
“Sorry? Excuse me?” speaks a voice, taking you away from your thoughts “Sorry, could I just squeeze in here please?” asks a girl trying to get to the bar to order.
“Oh yeah, of course, sorry love” you reply, dismounting the stool, dragging it away a little to make room, then reaching over to the two drinks to pull them over to your new spot. You stumble a little from the lack of space to move about in and accidentally tread on someone’s shoe.
“Oh gosh, I’m so sorry” you apologise as you turn around to face the stranger whose toes you just squashed. Trying to keep hold of the stool behind you, a hand behind your back remains clutched onto one of the back bars of it and it suddenly doubles up as something to lean on as you feel yourself going weak at the knees at what feels like a deja vu type occurrence.
“We’ll have to stop bumping into each other like this or I’ll have to learn your name” he smiles; it’s the drummer from the band again.
His black hair is slightly damp from the energy he put into tonight’s gig yet he still manages to look radiant. Tall and broad shouldered with eyes that are a sensuous brown, you can’t help but admire the view in front of you. You could kick yourself for how clumsy you’ve been as the evening has progressed… have you really had that much to drink?
“It’s y/n” you smile, now ignoring your seat completely and coolly leaning onto the bar... only to be suddenly shaken up by the return of your date as he makes you jump.
“Hey!” he exclaims. “Goodness, people really are like vultures with the seats in this place, huh?” he questions as he observes the already occupied bar stools behind you.
“Ah, just a bottle of water please my good man” the drummer requests now having the attention of the bartender who immediately gets his order.
“On the house dude; great show tonight” 
“Thank you so much” replies the drummer gratefully, then facing back to you to say goodbye. “See you around y/n… the name’s Jungkook by the way” he smiles, raising the bottle in his hand as if to say ‘cheers’ as he walks away.
“You know him?” asks your date.
“Not really no” you reply “I was just a bit clumsy and trod on his foot” you laugh nervously. 
“I apologised and we got chatting…” you explain, feeling the need to justify yourself for some reason.
“Y/n, I’m not going to scold you for talking to other people” he replies, stepping closer to you. 
“But if there’s something you’re not telling me…” he coos, once again giving you that unpleasant shiver down your neck.
“I can help change your mind” he says suggestively - and it does absolutely nothing for you. 
Not even the slightest bit of arousal? 
Nope. Nothing.
Unsure of how to respond, you excuse yourself to go to the toilets once more.
“Sorry, I guess I’ve had a lot of these drinks; I need to use the ladies again” you chuckle. 
***
The band load out the last few bits of equipment into their van and stop for a break from all the heavy lifting, taking in the fresh cool air that the outdoors offers. The singer, dark brown hair wavering in front of his face in the breeze, scrambles his pockets and pulls out a pouch of tobacco and rolls himself a cigarette which immediately goes noticed by the disapproving lead guitarist, Seokjin.
“Oi, Tae, I thought you’d given that shit up” Seokjin challenges, eyebrows slightly furrowed beneath his light brown fringe.
“It’s just the last of what I had left, promise” shrugs the singer with a slightly muffled voice from the filter he holds between his teeth, earning a glance of disbelief from the other three band members.
“What?” he shrugs again, brushing his hair back with his spare hand and placing the loose tobacco in the paper. “Anyway, it was a good night; I deserve it.”
“It’s alright ‘Jin” hums the drummer tunefully, placing his almost empty water bottle on the floor to take his sweaty shirt off, revealing a handsomely muscular body. He slides open a door to the back seats of the van, rummaging for his clean shirt as he continues to talk:
“I’m sure Taehyung’s more than aware that if he starts croaking like some old frog then we’ll find a replacement…”
“Ah Jungkook, quit teasing” the singer sighs with a smirk, leaning against the door of the front passenger’s seat, lighting up his cigarette.  “You guys love me really,” Taehyung continues, taking an inhale after.
“Alright, sure we do” jokes the bassist, Namjoon, hands in pockets standing opposite Taehyung and next to Seokjin.
“You do” smiles Taehyung with a confident smirk.
Gathering the pool of fabric that is yet another black shirt, the drummer takes his head out from inside the car, slams the door shut, and throws the shirt over his body and poses a question. “So, we sticking around for a drink then?” he asks, picking up his bottle of water and taking a sip from it.
“‘Fraid not mate” replies Namjoon with a sigh. “Work in the morning”
“I’ll take you back mate” offers Seokjin, fumbling in his pockets for the keys.  “I wouldn’t be drinking anyway so just let me know when and we’ll set off Joon”
“What time is it?” asks the bassist, looking at his wrist and showing an expression of exasperation upon realising he must have forgotten to put a watch on before tonight’s gig.
“Almost 20 minutes to midnight” Taehyung says, already able to see the time of 11:39 on his brightly lit phone he holds in front of him as he checks his social media.
“Oh shit” mumbles Namjoon. “Might have to go sooner than we thought then mate, is that alright?”
“You staying Tae?” asks Jungkook.
“Uh, yeah, sure” the singer replies, putting his phone back in his pocket and lifting himself from the car door. “Just lemme finish this and we’ll go back in, yeah?”
“Right see you guys at rehearsal in a few days” smiles Seokjin, bringing in Jungkook for a goodbye hug.
“See you soon man” adds Namjoon, reaching out for Taehyung’s hand and the two shake hands and bring each other in for a friendly pat on the back.
The guitarist and bassist hop into the van as Taehyung flicks the cigarette butt onto the concrete and he burns it by stamping on it. A couple of beeps from the van as it drives away prompt Taehyung and Jungkook to wave goodbye and they turn their backs to head inside the pub.
Finding a spare table in the corner of the room, the two boys sit themselves on two lonely chairs positioned behind a small round table, looking onto the rest of the room.
“So a bit of dutch courage and then we take our pick of the crowd this evening ‘Kook?” asks Taehyung casually, now definitely in the mood to pull after such a dynamic gig.
“I’ve already chosen mine,” Jungkook replies matter-of-factly as he spots one girl in particular walking past them. “See that girl over there? The one in the sexy dress?” he questions, pointing over at the bar where she now stands.
“You mean the one right next to that guy who appears to be her date or boyfriend?” Taehyung conversely states.
“I want her” answers Jungkook with a fairly deep hum showing an urge to go do something about it.
“Dude what the fuck? Not gonna happen” ridicules the singer. “She’s been with that guy all evening; I could see from the stage”
“Challenge accepted” Jungkook arrogantly responds, folding his arms and leaning back in his chair as he unashamedly checks out the target of his desire. 
Now usually, Jungkook would look straight at all the curves on a woman, but not this time. He watches the way the girl coyly smiles at her date and Jungkook finds it super cute; though he’s barely convinced she is flashing a genuine smile at this other dude, she still looks beautiful and charming.
“20 quid says you can’t do it” Taehyung challenges, sliding a note out of his wallet and placing it on the table, now invested in the idea of making something a little more interesting happen again since the atmosphere of the bar now seems pretty anticlimactic to what he felt on stage just 20 minutes ago
“Make it 30 and we have a deal” Jungkook counters, pulling out a 10 and a 20 from his wallet and placing those on top of Taehyung's initial bet. “I plan to treat this girl to whatever she wants tonight”
“I think this gig got to your head Kook” laughs Tae not quite believing the audacity of his friend. "I mean I know that was probably one of our best but…"
“She’s totally into me” adds Jungkook as the girl from the bar glances in his direction and flashes a friendly smile.
“How could you possibly know that?”
“I’ve already spoken to her a few times… Anyway, is it a deal, or what?”
“Right then, 30 quid it is…” Taehyung agrees, sliding out an additional note from his wallet and slamming it down on top of the rest of the money to complete the sum proposed. He feels pretty confident about his side of the bet so he’s more than happy to up the ante.
Jungkook reaches out a hand to shake and Taehyung returns the gesture, taking a firm grip of the drummer’s hand and firmly shaking on it.
***
You had possibly taken a lot longer than expected in the ladies room. Partly it was that you needed to compose yourself as the alcohol was beginning to make you feel a tad dizzy but mostly it was you sitting on the loo seat in a cubicle composing a list on your phone. 
Your little document didn’t have a title but the content mostly revolved around things you could possibly try to talk about and ways you could put an end to this part of the evening without seeming rude.
Family emergency…
Phone a friend to pretend to by chance be at the pub…
Ask him about his family…
Bite your tongue and ask more about the motorcycles
Grin and bear it and ask about his gym routine… but I’m still not fucking him.
“Hey sorry I took so long” you apologise, holding up your phone. “It was my mum; you know what parents can be like, even when you’re more than old enough to take care of yourself…”
Nice save y/n.
Deciding to stick this through for some bizarre reason, you pick the topics of conversation as ‘plan A’... okay it was more like plan B, C or D at this point, just in different variants of ‘plan A’ to just be yourself and talk. Maybe asking more questions about him will spark some other sort of conversation. Maybe making an effort to find out more about him is what this needs… even if the most of the first half of your date had already consisted of talking about him...
“So tell me more about this bike you’re doing up,” you begin with your best interested smile and trying to keep the conversation innocent after what was said before you made your panicked exit. “Maybe you could show me sometime” you continue, throwing yourself in the deep end a little but then wondering what is actually happening here.
‘Have I actually become that desperate that I’m forcing myself to make arrangements for another meeting with a guy I’m not even interested in?’
“Actually, it’s almost finished” replies your date with a much more confident and genuine smile than he gave you previously. “I know this great place where we could take it for a test run if you’re interested actually…”
Just as you’re about to reply, a figure comes barging between the two of you, half annoying you, half relieving you of the pressure to muster the enthusiasm to make a positive comment.
“Hey guys! Great night, huh?” booms Jungkook. “You managed to stand on anyone else’s toes yet y/n?” he grins.
“Not yet, no” you laugh.
“Good, good…” he hums, then turning his attention to the bartender. “Excuse me! 2 pints please!” he requests, pointing to one of the beer taps. “And… can I get anything for you guys?”
“Oh, you don’t have to” you tell him. 
“No, I insist” he exclaims. “And another round for these two please!” to which the bartender nods.
“So I’m doing a bit of research guys… what was your favourite song this evening?”
Your date seems rather speechless which doesn’t surprise you as you could just tell from his vacant stare throughout the whole gig that he wasn’t so much as even paying the slightest bit of attention.
“My favourite song?” you ask, scanning your brain to try and pick one. “Well, I enjoyed a lot of them, so….”
And just like that, an engaging conversation is sparked. It goes from the music, to asking each other what you each do in your ordinary lives, to funny anecdotes, to current affairs in the news, and then even following on from those news stories with opinions and theories, and before you know it, you glance up at the clock behind the bar and it is already half past midnight.
Clearly, your date also takes note of the time and finally decides to speak again right in the middle of you and Jungkook laughing about the idea of what ridiculous conspiracy theories have been said about the very latest bit of breaking news.
“Oh my God, really? Some people are so ridiculous!” you laugh, unable to contain yourself, stitches forming in your ribs.
“Um, y/n, it’s probably about time we should get going…” he informs you,  coming to stand next to you, placing a hand on your shoulder.
“Oh, really?” you sigh longingly. “I’m quite enjoying it here.”
“Well, it’s just that I’m getting a bit tired and I thought you might want to join me for a night cap…” he suggests, slightly pulling at your arm to coerce you into putting down your drink and leaving.
“I’m not ready to leave yet” you admit with a shrug as you look at the floor unable to look your date in the eye.
“Here you go guys” you hear the bartender speak in the background followed by the sounds of full glasses being placed next to you. You look up so that you can grab and take a sip of your fresh drink.
“But we’ve been here for hours” sighs your date in a huff, clearly annoyed at the rejection.
“Yeah, but our next round just came in” Jungkook adds, helping your case to stay put.
“I’m sorry, but no one asked you” replies your date through gritted teeth.
“Woah, woah!” you exclaim, standing up in front of him, hands raised as if to calm him down or bring the peace. “There’s no need to talk to him like that…”
“There’s no need to be talking to him at all if you ask me”
“Dude what the hell?” you ask. 
“Yeah, come on mate!” whines Jungkook in view of your date from behind your shoulder.
“Don’t you ‘mate’ me!” responds your date with a fit of bad temper, slamming his glass down on the table, causing some of it to splash out over the edge. You notice a couple of heads begin to turn at the sudden commotion 
“You’ve clearly been lingering around here all evening just so you can oogle over my bird”
“Sorry, your bird?” you protest loudly. 
Suddenly aware of the attention the volume of your voice draws, so that’s only a couple more heads turning to look at the three of you, you take a deep breath and muster the courage to speak up. 
“Who said I belong to you? This is a first date, a set up” you remind him. 
“I said I wanted to stay. I’ve been enjoying it here tonight, and if you aren’t enjoying it as much, then I’m sorry - not my problem! I’m not going to leave just because of that.”
Taehyung, who had also been sat with you guys for the past quarter of an hour decided to chime in: 
“Come on mate, maybe it’s time you should go” he suggests placing a hand on your date’s shoulder in attempt to calmly escort him out
“Who the fuck asked you either?” bellows your date, aggressively shrugging Taehyung off his shoulder.
“No one asked him, but I agree with what he has to say” you defend now positioning yourself between him and Tae. “Maybe it is time you should go. This clearly isn’t working out.”
Your date approaches Jungkook and goes face to face with him. If most of the pub were watching the scene unravelling before, every single person is watching now.
“This is all your fault, this” you date tells him in a threatening manner. 
“Oh yeah?” challenges Jungkook, pushing his neck upwards towards your date so that they are practically butting heads. “And I don’t suppose it has anything to do with how bored this poor girl has been looking for a good portion of the evening or how you’re so desperately trying to get into her pants when clearly, she’s having none of it? Yeah, I know your type; you’re a creep only in it for the fuck…”
“So what if I am?” 
The audacity of this comment from your date outrages you.
“Wow” you remark.
“Oh shut up!” he bellows, turning to face you once again. “We both know I could give you the time of your life if you went with me… what’s he got, eh?” he questions, placing both hands on your waist, making you feel super uncomfortable.
You push the creep off you and back away a step or two and towards Jungkook.
“You know, at least Jungkook was asking me about myself which was quite the refresher from talking to you! Do you really think you were winning me over with talks about how you go to the gym and how you ride about the county on some shitty bike?”
“Well maybe it’s just that you’re a frigid cow then”
“Oi! Oi!” yells Jungkook, pushing your - well, he’s not your date anymore, so - pushing this idiot away. The guy pushes him back and it briefly goes back and forth like this until Taehyung decides to pull his friend away, seemingly surprised at himself for being able to have the strength to do so.
“Oh my God! Just stop!” you demand. “Did you not for one moment consider that I might have just not been that into you?” you question, addressing the jerk who just described you in such a horrible way.
That really riled you up, you know. You refuse to be spoken to in such a demeaning way just because some dude couldn’t get his rock off with you. This won’t do. You know you’re not the problem here. Yet you feel the need to prove a point...
“Besides, would a frigid cow do this…?” you ask, pulling in Jungkook by the arm and swinging him in towards you lips crashing together. 
You throw your arms around him as he eases into the intense kiss by putting his hands on your waist which, by the way, feels much nicer than when the other guy put his hands on you, and the entire crowd that was watching this movie-like scene cheer.
You can feel Jungkook positively responding to the kiss as he smiles into it so you milk it by running your fingers through his hair as he pulls you in closer. Your hands trail down to his shoulders and you take in how strong they feel giving you a great sense of security in the kiss… plus you go weak at the knees at how amazing the kiss feels; how amazing he feels as you bask in his warmth.
Jungkook’s lips are divine. He tastes like the drink he just had, yet the softness of his lips gave almost a honey like flavour, delicious to savour. You relish the way his tongue runs along your loose lips requesting entrance and you see stars as just a kiss progresses into a small make out. You have to try with all your might to pull away from him so as to not create a sickly public display of affection for the onlookers.
“Yeah, well whatever” shrugs the losing man as you glance over at him with a look that says ‘this argument is finished’ Attempting to give off an unbothered appearance, as if his ego hasn’t been dampened, he wanders to the other end of the bar and towards the first lone girl he can see. 
At this point, many people have returned to chatting with the people at their own tables, low conversation stirring and restoring some of the usual ambience one would ordinarily find in a pub… the difference right now being that you’re quite certain they’re all talking about you, Jungkook and your jerk date.
For a few seconds, you watch this guy initiate conversation with her and those who are paying attention are humoured by the sight of the girl slapping him across the face and walking away, causing some to jeer ‘wahey!’
Out of sight, out of mind, you feel much calmer now as you see the guy walk out of the door.
“So, was that just for show or… can I interest you in coming to our next gig?” Jungkook questions, walking around you so that he stands in front of you.
“I’ll be a pleasure” you smile, heart fluttering at the sight of this handsome man. “Thank you”

tbh I’m not too happy with myself for how long it ended up being before the so called juicy bit but I figured it would be a wasted effort to not post it so if you got to the bottom of this post, I thank you so much for your time to read my 7.1k words of trash :P

Whatever It Takes (1/6)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Bucky x Doctor!Reader
Word Count: 1,491
Prompt: Doctor AU
Warnings: mentions to medical diseases?
A/N: this series is my submission for @sgtjbuccky and @jaamesbbarnes‘s writing challenge! ill be updating this story every friday at 8 pm est but anyone is free to send me an ask to be added to the taglist :) also! this story is based off of season 4 episode 6 of house m.d., in case anyones curious ;)))
SERIES MASTERLIST
Monday morning has you in your office of the Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York; the hospital that has claimed you has the Head of the Diagnostic Medicine Department for several years now. A beautiful and private hospital, orange rose bushes adorning the perimeter of every building, and a smaller workplace to house you, one of the most brilliant medical geniuses of your generation; specialty in infectious disease. Surrounding you are the two doctors that make up your team; Dr. Teddy Abraham and Dr. Nikki Jordan, specialties in immunology and neurology, respectively. Two incredibly smart doctors that you hired to help you solve case after case and keep people happy and healthy; they are probably the smartest decisions you’ve made in your career.
Sunlight beaming in through the window in your office on the sixth floor of the hospital, you throw a slightly dirty tennis ball against the piece of wall above the frame of the window and catch it as it bounces back to you. You tune in and out of whatever Abraham is explaining to you as you focus on catching the ball each time.
“20 year old female with visual and auditory processing deficiency. I did a consult-“ Dr. Abraham continues. Dr. Abraham joined your team about six years ago and is one of the few remaining doctors able to put up with you.
“What kind of race car does she drive?” You interrupt, catching the ball and glancing at him.
Although you have solved nearly every medical case brought to your attention, you’re seen as a bit… misanthropic. Definitely not a “helping-hand” kind of person.
“Dragster.” Abraham responds, smirk growing on his face and he sees your attention gravitating more and more to the case.
You ponder for a moment, “Okay, continue.” You prompt him, going back to throwing the tennis ball again.
“You’re gonna take a case based on the kind of car she drives?” Dr. Jordan asks, the other doctor with a patience thick enough to handle your antics. Although she puts up with you, the annoyance on her face is always visible.
“Nothing says ‘Thanks for saving my life’ like a car that accelerates faster than the space shuttle.” You defend.
“Well, there’s nothing to save because she’s not dying. Lab tests showed signs of dehydration, she probably got heatstroke.” Jordan inquires, hoping that you’ll become disinterested in the case and take on one that actually requires work.
“Kinda hard to get heatstroke in four and a half seconds,” You argue sarcastically.
“Not when you’re wearing a three-layer fireproof suit.” She quips back.
The conversation is interrupted by the sound of your office door opening. Everyone in the room freezes and eyes widen as Sergeant James Barnes, World War II veteran and current Avenger, steps inside; long-sleeve, black shirt with the Avengers’ “A” printed on the left breast and black tactical pants donning his body, large handgun decorating his hip. Deadpan expression on his face and hair pulled loosely in a low bun, the guy does some good cosplay, you think. Of course that’s not the real Bucky Barnes! You’re a measly doctor in a random private hospital, why would Bucky Barnes be here?
“A little early for a Halloween costume, huh, buddy?” You tease. There’s no possible way anyone from the Avengers would come close to this place. Sure, it’s a nice hospital, but what does a super human who has access to some of the best medical professions in the world have any business roaming around this hospital? Probably some prank from one of the cleaning ladies or a patient who holds a grudge.
“Are you the Head of the Diagnostic Medicine Department?” He questions, serious look and furrowed eyebrows never easing from his face.
Your fellow colleagues look at you to see what your response will be, as well as to see if they can somehow figure out why the Avengers are looking for you.
“Uh, no, actually, she called in sick again. I can leave her a message, though, if you’d like.” You excuse as Sergeant Barnes walks up to your desk, reaching into his back pocket.
He pulls out a photo. A photo of you. Specifically, the photo you didn’t want to take for the hospital website. I didn’t want to take that picture for this exact reason; it would cause me problems with the government.
“May we talk in private, Doctor?” The soldier politely asks.
Everyone stares and awaits to see what you’ll do or say. You glance at your employees before slowly standing.
“So… either it’s heatstroke and we can all leave early, or it’s one of the diagnoses that you two will have for me in…” You glance at the Avenger and back to your team, “Five minutes.” You decide.
You walk towards the door and Bucky follows you out into the hallway.
As the door shuts behind him, you look him up and down.
“So, you’re an Avenger?” You ask, mocking tone evident in your voice. You gotta hand it to him, this guy’s a great look alike.
“One of our agents recently came back sick from a mission, many of the doctors at the Avengers Tower believe that he was a victim of an assassination attempt.” He ignores your question and gets straight to the reason he’s here.
Bucky Barnes has heard a lot about you. You’re considered a medical genius and are known around the world for your intelligence. But he never imagined someone so smart could be so immature. He thought he’d have the pleasure of encountering some world-class expert in all things medicine, someone with profession qualities, someone so opposite of you.
He looks you up and down as you exaggeratedly rub your chin as if you’re thinking extra hard. He rolls his eyes and takes a moment to take you in. You’re quite attractive; pretty face, dark eyes and plump, pink lips, brown slacks with a white t-shirt tucked into them, and beige heels strapped around your feet. Your personality seems to be the opposite of the professional way you dress yourself.
“This isn’t a joke. If you’re interested, we need to leave now.” Bucky informs you, patience wearing thin as you continue to stall time not believing he’s serious.
You let out a sigh before warning, “If I don’t encounter any aliens or robots, you’ll be seeing a nasty Yelp review.” You stand and swing the door to your office open again.
“Okay, what do you got?” You ask your two doctors as you walk back behind your desk to retrieve the matching brown blazer hung around the back of your desk chair.
“Hereditary Brain Disorder, Paraneoplastic Syndrome,” Abraham begins listing. Bucky remains standing at the door.
“None of which go away with IV fluids; it’s heatstroke.” Jordan argues as you tug on your blazer.
“Or Cushing’s, or Calcium Deficiency.” You offer as Jordan rolls her eyes realizing she’s going to get stuck with a simple heatstroke case.
“Who’s your friend?” Abraham questions, clearly no longer interested in convincing you of the case, his childhood hero is standing in front of him.
“We use the term ‘lover’,” You tease and Bucky rolls his eyes, “Get a fresh history, a neurological exam, and an MRI of her head. If I estimate 15 minutes for the lap dance, 30 minutes to scrub the regret from my body and soul; see you guys in 45 minutes.” You call out as you exit the room, Bucky following behind you.
Bucky walks in the opposite of direction of the elevators and you speed walk in order to keep up with his long strides. As you two approach the staircase leading up to the roof, you open the door slowly and cautiously, looking for cameras or any other tech equipment and Bucky pushes the door open all the way.
“C’mon! We need to hurry, Doctor.” Bucky huffs as he passes you and climbs up the stairs.
“Yeah, we need to hurry. Look, I’d believe a cop or even FBI but, Avenger? C’mon, do you really think anyone is gonna believe that?” You ask as you approach the door leading to the roof of the building.
Bucky pushes open the door to reveal a massive, black jet hovering over the roof of the hospital. It’s sleek and shiny and there are two tall, beefy men in black tactical gear standing on either side of the entrance to the plane and you’re starting to think that this just might be real. Your hair is flying around and the loud whirring of the jet is already beginning to create a buzz in your ears.
“It’s easier when you have the props.” Bucky replies with a smirk over his shoulder, leading you to the aircraft.
A hand is outstretched to help you board and you look down to see a black and gold metal hand awaiting for your hand to use it as support.
Yep, this is real.

It is definitely mens wear in women at its best
It is definitely mens wear in women at its best. These are really hot items this year, but for a tasteful look, make sure that your shirt is long enough, below your bottom. Oversized shirts can easily be counterbalanced with fitted bottoms and you are ready to make a statement.When Christian Restoin introduced the men's shirt to womenswear with the launch of Equipment in 1975, no one knows that men’s shirt or blouses can be a big hit. Today I’m going to Water Cooled Condenser sell you out more about Equipment blouse because as a fashion spotter, I believe that it is a must have in every girls’ wardrobe. You love this style and want to wear men shirts but still want to look feminine? Then shop at Equipment today! . Luckily it is coming back in the mainstream today. Men’s shirts spent more time in the fashion Dry heat pump unit spotlight than boyfriend jeans or boyfriend blazers that became very popular lately.To achieve a more feminine look, match your Equipment blouse with tight, well-fitting pants. Don’t forget that your reason is not to look frumpy, but more trendy and chic. Try to find a shirt that’s big enough to be long, but that still fits reasonably well around the shoulders. And at 2010 Joie’s Serge Azria relaunched Equipment brand with a collection of androgynous styles in luxurious silks, paying homage to the label's heritage while infusing it with contemporary edge. Inspired by Hollywood stars Katherine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall, his debut collection was an instant hit with fashion's elite. But it seems that this trend had been gone when the 90’s came. Men usually think that women wearing men’s clothes are sexy, and girls like to enjoy the sensation of freedom these clothes confer to them. Therefore a great option would be to wear skinny jeans, leggings or jeggings with your favorite Equipment blouse. It gives the impression of having just woken up in the morning, throwing on your boy’s white shirt and looking sexier than ever, because it’s just so darn simple and effortless.Equipment blouse can be long enough to be worn as a dress, with bare legs or tights (that’s what makes it so sexy after all).Equipment blouse is a wonderful thing. And this is why in the 80’s era oversized blouses and coats had been the “In” fashion. If your shirt is long but fitted, it can be crisper, while a more oversized shirt will sit better if in a lighter fabric. You can even put on belts that should be worn on the low waist or on your hipsEquipment blouse can look extremely cute and effortlessly trendy on girls

Celebs by like of Kim Kardashian West, Bella Hadid, and Emily Ratajkowski are among the risk-takers currently inspiring us to embrace the lastest lingerie-as-outerwear trend: wearing a bra as a shirt. Whether they're layering a sheer bralette under an oversize blazer or donning an underwire bra under a sheer top, their bold looks are convincing us to take more risks, push more boundaries, and, yes, show a lot more skin.

set myself on fire.
LGC STYLE AUDITION .. 
to be frank, it’s interesting auditioning for something with a general gist of what the concept would be, but not entirely knowing what was at the end goal. but what ‘roles’ were they applying for? it was quite intriguing, akin to the feeling of cannonball jumping into a pool off a slide, yet unsure of where the depths were. that’s what it felt like. as he prepared for the interview, jisoo decided to go with a less usual outfit from what he would normally wear, the ‘too young to be dressing like steve jobs’ get up. no, he’s not trying to be the next elizabeth holmes, he likes turtlenecks a lot... looking between two of his outfits, he finally dons the one that is more neutral in palette, but slightly more adventurous than a mono-palette. maybe rainbow for next time.
when he is finally before the committee, jisoo reminds himself to be calm, and collected throughout the whole thing. after years of practice in other aspects of training, this is slightly different, but not so much. a slight smile and bow as he introduces himself, “hello, my name is han jisoo. i am one of the models with lgc agency.” what is he wearing? “today, i am dressed for comfort and style. this brown blazer is one of my favourites, and i find that a blazer always brings a look from business casual or casual, to ‘this means business’.” so. cheesy. but he’s got to sell it. “can’t ever go wrong with what is not necessarily a fad, but always in style. i went with a classic cotton tee, tucked in with a bottega veneta belt.” it didn’t scream brand names like the traditional double c’s, double g’s, double whatever else there was for all the labels these days, but the impression that jisoo was aware of fashion labels in the industry couldn’t be a horrible thing, right? it’s not tacky when it’s in small doses. “i find that to look more pristine than untucked. and of course, proper black slacks and shoes, ready for sunday’s best. but i do find that with this, i am in different layers of dressed up or dressed down. prepared for nearly any occasion, and ready on the go. and i happen to like brown,” he finishes sheepishly. “i quite like this statement piece, in a way it’s not so loud that it’s obvious when you wear it again. but it’s basic enough to be a classic staple, an upgrade from the black and white blazer.”
moving onto the next portion, jisoo looks at what is available for them to pick from before moving on to building atop the white t-shirt. what a coincidence that he too, has one on. it would seem off-brand to go too wild or outlandish at this rate. but he’s no fashion designer. dressing the mannequin in a periwinkle knit on top of the white shirt, and white pants, and some pale accessories to go alongside it. “i know what you’re thinking, don’t spill anything on this. but it’s perfect for spring, and it’ll still look great when the seasons come around back to winter, matching those two respective palettes. you might not own anything this shade, but it’s the pantone colour of the year. it’s classic enough to wear to work, out to a nice brunch, breakfast, make sure you have a napkin to shield yourself from any potential spills mind you- or any event that isn’t a black-tie. make heads turn. don’t stand in the background. if you’ve been contemplating it, this is the time to jump on this before it’s too late and you’re behind on the fashion trends of 2022.”

March 25, 1976 - The Baltimore Sun 
Page B1
Capraro is honored for designs at happy fashion show
By Gabrielle Wise 
More than 600 women in Baltimore county know why Betty Ford likes Albert Capraro.  They had the chance to back a winning ticket yesterday at Martin's West, when the slim bearded young designer accepted an award as "Bicentennial Designer 1976."  It was "You're the Top" in the music department when his selections were introduced.
Mrs. Ford had another engagement, but sent him "sincere congratulations" and "warm regards on this exciting occasion" in a telegram read to the gathering.  She has seen his summer collection, but will probably see it "two more times at least" before she makes her final selections, Mr. Capraro said.
There were five scenes in the fashion extravaganza, with the guest designer's the grand finale.  He had been asked to bring 15 pieces from his collection, and chose one or two from each group.
Those who attended his New York showing in February recall that it was held at the Fashion Institute of Technology, and were told, "We did this because the showroom was so crowded last time.  Next time it'll be in Carnegie Hall."
There'll be 22-gun salutes, firecrackers, ruffles and flourishes and heaven knows what if. Baltimore females pick up on those white duck shorts and yellow awning striped poncho outfits, smartly accessorized with Don Kline visor hats and Conrad Bell bracelets and bags.
White duck appeared again in his blazer, waistcoat and skirt outfit, the "ladylike city suits" he can imagine Mrs. Ford wearing ("I'm only theorizing," he was careful to say).  "He believes in straight skirts," Rosemarie Troy, fashion commentator for Stewart's, said, and "with this suit you don't really need a blouse."
He has designed pants, too, in that fabric, and used the yellow awning stripes again for a hooded, tide-tied tunic over a white cotton T-shirt with harem pants in the yellow stripes.  It is not hard to imagine the President's daughter in those.
Much attention was paid to Mr. Capraro's wet-look vinyl designs, and the models told their admirers they were not hot.  So look for some snappy city girls in shiny black pants tucked, para-troop style, into shiny black boots and shiny black woven safari hats, or a shiny black poncho over a fine cotton knit shirt in yellow, apparently a favorite summer color.
Electric blue vinyl--it almost felt like paper--made its mark in his sequence, and with his other colors contributed much to scene on the grass after the show, with well-wishers not only congratulating the designer, but lining up for autographs.
Mr. Capraro has to be one of the happiest designers, with his joie de vivre surfacing in rompers for romping, jumpsuits for jumping, caftans for capering and batwing beauties for just batting around.  It will be interesting to see what choices the First Lady will make--she has several Capraro jumpsuits already, one of them gray flannel, the designer said.
She is bound to look twice at his chiffon evening creations, so don't be surprised if the confetti-patterned peach cape gown, the one that can be worn off the shoulder, shows up in the White House, or maybe the jade green one with the pointed poncho top.
A black cocktail dress, too, came to Baltimore, "a great looking restaurant dress," said Miss Troy.  There'll be great looking, all right, at the upper front chasm bridged only by matching string ties.
There's a flyaway top in his garden, too, with a cord on its strapless construction to be released so it hangs like a great ruffle over floaty harem pants.  Another wispy Capraro thing is a cape affair slashed to the waist and anchored there, too.  He left that in New York.
He brought along the one-shouldered sensation streaked in peach and white, though, and the delicate cascading chiffon in a geometric fern print.  They told people why he had said what he had earlier to the models, as a coach sending his team out to do their stuff.
He suggested more floating than twirling, told the girls to enjoy themselves and be happy.  The audience gets a better look that way, and they feel happy, too.
Proceeds from sale of tickets will be used to help finance construction of the interdenominational chapel in the Holt Memorial Brotherhood Park.
