Deploys look amazing with those prestos. Best look for those I've seen so far.

I'm into it.

Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking this. Bucky Barnes got some heat

other criticisms aside, I'd never say those clothes are too big for you. the pants stack as they are meant to plus most acg pants look great stacked. also your leg shape is well, not optimal, and the stacks are a great way to divert attention from that. and the coat? ffs guys, it's just the sleeve, which stacked because it got rolled up touching the pocket lmao

the acronym prestos make this outfit work so well. nice fit.

I certainly hope the people calling these pants too big adjust their eyesight in the coming years.
It's probably a hangover from their malefashionadvice days before they wanted to dress like ninjas instead of the lame office Bros they actually are.
Now that I got that out of the way, I like everything about the fit except that the shoe volt is a different shade and you might be better off without the volt hit in the top.

In the future, let's try to be constructive with criticism rather than attacking people for not sharing your opinions. The OP seems to half agree that the pants are too big. If you look at the way Nike and other posters on the sub have styled them, the pockets are supposed to land on the upper thigh, where they're almost over the knee here. That leads, in my opinion, to weird sagginess in the top block of the pants, and unattractive stacks on the lower legs.

I don't think it's at all constructive for the community to have a uniform fit preference.
I say what I say strongly because there are people posting fits with their own style getting shot down and discouraged because of old hat male fashion advice ideas on how things should fit.
In the future I'll take a show don't tell approach, just sharing my own opinion on baggy or loose fits, however I will also expect to be downvoted for it.

Fair enough. I don't really agree with you on the basis for fit preferences, I'd say we have a much greater crossover from r/streetwear than MFA. But you're right that it's limiting to have too much of a hivemind mentality in regards to fit.
And for what it's worth, I actually like baggy and oversized outfits a lot of the time, I just don't think this one was executed particularly well. I'd prefer something much more in line with what Goopi has been putting out lately. I've been getting tons of inspo from this and a few other related accounts.

I love baggy but am wondering if/when this kind of 90'esque silhouette is going to catch on. Feel like we've all been waiting for it to happen for a while but seems like maybe the most ovbious 'next big trend' in fashion isn't so ovbious.
I recall that one strange season about 10 years ago where everybody in the fashion world was supposed to dress up like Napoleonic troubadours. Didn't really catch on.
1
Yeah these pants were designed with the option to have an exaggerated silhouette or pull them up to your belly and have them straight and basic. It's meant to be played with that way. I don't get why so many complain about it not being cookie cutter shit.
2
This is sick, and I'm not usually a fan of those highlights on peices
2
How does the ACG trench fit/feel? I kinda want to cop next year when I save up enough.
2
Feels nice tbh, oversized though. I’m usually a M/L and went for a small

Well I'm inspired. Thank you fellow lady on the tinternet. Im super into neon myself lately. Ever since I got the yellow top from the UniqloxAW heattech collab and a pair of the yellow Air Jordan Jesters. I have no real idea what Im going to do pantswise for them but this is giving me ideas.
I dont think the proportions are bad at all. I generally go for oversized myself seeing as Iv thicc thighs lol Whether you do or dont, it looks great and I very much appreciate the cohesiveness of the outfit. Like somebody else said I kinda hate when its a fully black outfit with neon shoes. Its unbalanced.
Anywho, rock on sister!

Thanks! Although contrary to the hair.. I am a dude 👀

Bucky Barnes x ACRNYM

Fit is fire! Thinking about getting the coat too, whats the sizing like? I'm not that tall so not sure if I should get the S or M
2
Thanks man! I went a size down to S instead of M, it’s pretty oversized
2
thanks for the tip — does it have the zip in the collar for liner jackets?
1
It does yeah man!
2
I'd ditch the MKI for just a plain black tee. Thought the MKI was a sweat at first so I don't feel like this is particularly flattering for you.
You got another, more central shot? Not sure what to make of the pants here.
1
I’ve been wearing the coat with plain black tees or black hoodies underneath, wanted to mix it up with something that has elements of volt without it being a bit too much you know?
1
Gonna have to agree with Grav, pants look a little big.
I get you, but plain -> logo in a bright volt is always gonna make it a central point of the fit.

You look like a modern version of Jaqen H'ghar from game of thrones of the faceless men assassins lol 👌
1
I like it. Black & Yellow is my favorite color combination. Perhaps, like some other said, the shirt feels off. I think It would be better if the writing was less high on the chest. Love it overall !
PS : I just have a weird feeling that you have your legs crossed.
1
Lol thought the same about the crossed legs at first. Nice fit though, OP!
2
Thanks man, and yeah my legs are not in the best pose because I’m a shit model 😂
1
Bitch I just copped that jacket!!
1
Sorry, but this really isn't doing it for me. The pants and coat look too big for you, and the highlighter yellow accents are kinda obnoxious and inconsistent. My eyes don't know where to go because they're getting drawn to the chest, sleeve, shoes, and zipper all at once. And the fit of the coat itself just inst very flattering.

Fair enough! I’ve been getting a bit tired of all black fits, and with Errolson having such an affinity for volt I thought I’d include more but try and not go overboard.
The pants are oversized and the pockets do make them bigger on top of that, these are a size small, same as the jacket. No way I can go smaller without finding them from Japan or something sadly!
3
Mate, same issue. It's a nightmare being short/having a small frame.
I tend to find that unless I get pants custom made, I never get a good fit.
8
I wouldn’t even call 5’10 short but ACG and Riot Division pants always stack on me, even if the waist size is right!
3
Oof. Yeah, surprised you have issue at that height. I hover at 5'6 so I'm sure you can imagine the trainwreck it is with default sizing!
3
I'm 6' and I still have to wear my S pair pretty high on my waist. This collection runs really big all around it seems.
1
Everybody is right about the clothes looking too big for you, but it's not drastic. If you care, get the pants tailored. I really like the neon, though. Idk what everyone's problem is, it's not like a distracting amount of neon, it's just a few highlights and ties it all together IMO.
0†
I would say the sizing issue is less a deliberate choice and more of a necessity. The sizing for the last ACG collection is a fucking mess, everything fits huge.
I'm an XL in almost everything and I bought a Small trench, can't imagine slimmer people finding a size that fits them properly.

These pants are not too big. This place is basically ninja male fashion advice at this point. I swear.
Everyone tries to pretend it isn't by upvoting heritage stuff once a month, but it still is.

You sound really bitter. If you want more diversity then post fits that are not Acronym or ACG.
1†
Nothing fits well here and matching volt text on the jacket to the t-shirt looks corny rather than coordinated. The shoes it seems like you tried to change the colors to make them match better but that didn't work. The pants make your legs look bowlegged. For the amount of money you spent on ultra branded streetwear gear you could have got clothes that fit you or even adjusted some of your other clothes to fit you. The tacky colors bring this down but even in all black this doesn't fit well and the cuts of the pieces are boring if not just bad. I would sell all this as none of it is working and try other brands that might fit you better.

Brutal, fair enough

I like it, I think there’s space in the techwear scene for some over size clothing, and tbh it doesn’t seem so much overweight as just a loose fit You’ve gone for all black and broken it up a little with the neon......you’ve managed to use just the right amount of it consistently across the whole outfit. I find it weird looking when it’s just a huge chunk of neon trainers at the bottom of an outfit and nothing else. Neon is never my first choice as I like to be discreet, but it helps here more than it hurts. I like the idea of everything blowing about in a light breeze as you walk down the street
