Thank you so much for the feedback. Okay, one more round (ignoring backdrops)...

So the elements changing in these are jackets, necklace, and shoes. After browsing the entire Overchest section, I'm left with these 5 options. For necklaces, I'm not too fond of the ribbons, but I have one of the plastic chokers on, as well as the lime necklace. While wearing the lime however, I worried about the green being unbalanced- so I started playing with shoes, since I couldn't find anything in the ankle area. (Note, the shoes is if I could get my hands on two of the new vinal patterns, which is highly unlikely.)

Or I could just go a completely different route...

Hi! I like where you're going with this tricky wig... I'm also really into whatever that ...tentacle tattoo item is on the leg? What's that from? And I might just use some black flats or other shorter shoes. I like the looks that don't come up to the tentacles better than I like the boots (it looks cleaner to me to have that gap of tights before you hit the shoes), but the flipflops are always going to look a little off with tights, and the flipflop-flats layering just isn't quite seamless enough to give the illusion of "black flats with green trim." The shoes in look 5 are ok but I think you could just use basic black if you can't get those.

As for other details, I like the touch of color you get from that bracelet cluster, and think you should go with one of the black overchest items that don't go down far on the arms so that you can display the bracelets and layer them cleanly (4 and 8 look ok to me.)

Finally, as much as I like the lime green necklace, I think the teal scarf is winning me over by breaking up the black and dark purple of the chest. Maybe go with look 8 (with the shoe change I mentioned) but swap out the ring for something in lime green, since that is a key color in the wig?

Hey ! The tentacle item is the Alexandrite Octopus! It was a Cash Shop bonus weekend item last year, and I've never managed to use it in a HA successfully! I was bumbling around in the wardrobe and noticed that it and the Graffiti Hair Stencils seem to mesh pretty well. :P (And damn is this wig difficult!)

As for shoes... Ugh. On one side, I do like just the flats (I have the simplistic black flats and donna flats I could use). But on the other, I feel it leaves a little too much empty space on the right leg. I think I still lean to the boots just because I think they're pretty cool.

After looking at these more, I am definitely leaning toward 6 or 8 as well.

I normally don't have this much trouble! Then again, there's probably a reason I can't find anyone using this hairstyle over on SF...

Oh cool, yeah that was on my wishlist but I'd forgotten about it because I pretty much only buy CSC for things like the Black Friday sale haha. Kudos on noticing a cool item combo! And yeah, the boots do work better with the vibe of the outfit; they're not bad but I just wish they had a slight curve to them instead of drawing a straight line across the legs like that. But this is getting down to the nit-picky; you've done some good work!

you could always try layering the pekaboo chokers over the ribbons c:

im partial to the and you can try changing out the shirt for a lime green like and layer something over it to cover some of it if it gets too much???

EDIT: managed to solve this problem myself, don't need any help!

sfadvice

I need HA help, please! I have a handful of options that I can't seem to narrow down...

There are four variations of torso/shoulders:

1. Delish Scor with no Ink
2. Delish Scor with Ink
3. Delish Blace with no Ink
4. Delish Blace with Ink

And three headpiece options... A) Right roses with no spikes B) Right roses with spikes C) Double roses (with spikes, though I guess I could do no spikes there too.)

Advice and/or thoughts? Preferences?

Outfit

(I have no idea why this image keeps being made smaller. Here is a link to the larger image.)

Wow, that's a beautiful HA! I love what you've done. :) I think I like the third one along the most. I think the top underneath sets it off nicely but the ink detracts focus a little too much, especially when coupled with the Omen Islands Volcanic Tear. I think the second rose probs adds a little too much up top, while the relative emptiness of the others lets the already rich and sumptuous scheme breathe more freely.

I like Scor with Ink and Right Roses with spikes :)

Thank you so much for the feedback! I've definitely been leaning toward the third top and playing around there. Also found another rose bouquet headpiece, though, think I'm not as much of a fan.

Help a undecided gal choose one, my dudes Outfit Not Found Outfit Not Found So....skirt as skirt,or skirt as cape? (also I just realised i have to borrow the skirt as I've still been able to recover from lumi debt)

My vote would be for the second HA where the skirt is a cape. That way you could also add some texture to the legs! (Like another sheer patterned tights that are layerable to match your arms.)

Definitely skirt as cape, and layer some tights under the solid tights that you've got to tie the limbs together. Something fishnetty would really tie it together nicely, I think!

# sfadvice I need opinions. I'm trying to finish off my technicolor explosion HA. I have to thank @ Avedis for their HA insight so far, but ultimately, I'm conflicted on the torso for the following. I love the colors from the Geometric Shirt (option 2), but I'm not so sure about the neckline. Vs the first option, might be too black/sleek. Thoughts? Ideas?

[edit] Solved! (Or rather, I couldn't keep looking at the outfit and questioning. :P) Link for Style-File

Outfit Not Found can someone help with with a top for this guy right ere? this colour scheme does not work well with finding a shirt that pleases my retinas

Did you have a color scheme or style in mind? Like long sleeves and dark? Any preferences? I can take a look tomorrow probably.

just something not too dark so it blends out nicely with the pants and shirt in terms of colour, so probably something light. I'll also prefer something long sleeved too.

I prefer option 1 without the geometric shirt - I agree that the shape closes off the neck area and makes it look a little cluttered as you're already working with so many bold colours. I think the sleekness allows them not to overwhelm.

Thank you for the feedback! I've been flip-flopping by the day on what torso I like most. I'm just really not a big fan of the neckline on the geometric shirt- wish that transparent green bit was just gone.

So I forgot that I'm actually really terrible at making male HAs. Just utter crap. Okay, so for yours, I can't find a single shirt that I think looks good layered under the jeans and suspenders, so I started playing with over top of them. Ended up roaming into the Vanity section, and found: I'm not sure if any of them are particularly strong, but maybe. I was also playing around with different colored unlaced boots, and some of the others might work better in combination. (Like, wearing the Brown or Taupe with a beige shirt. Or even the stone, just to warm things up a bit more.) I think there might be some good vest combos out there that could look good, but my mind wasn't in the right place to try to sort those out.

thank you buddo! for those suggestions! i'll see what i can do from there. also, i'll have a look at vests too, and perhaps remove the suspenders overall. those things don't seem to be working, don't they.
