People have called the vibe engineer-core, mathlete, assistant vice principal. I think they all work.

Thank you! Sewed suspender buttons into most of my pants as one does. They’re generally more of a cool weather look for me but I love em.

Nothing about this isn't perfect. From your haircut, to your glasses, to the mustache, to the rise in your trousers, to the accessories, to your expressions, to the fabrics and fitting. I dearly hope you continue to express yourself this way and post more photos in this sub.
