#and the tiny tiny padova tank top

[kaleidoscopeminds]

Hi! I sent you and molly an ask after the uk leg of the tour asking for your luke outfit rankings. I would like to extend the same invitation now that tour is over. So, top 10 luke fits of the take my hand tour?

omg hello welcome back!!! thank u for thinking of us again and for giving @burstingsunrise and i a fun luke project in a difficult week 🥰 this took me too long and i’m still not entirely happy with it but lets go lets go

a non-definitive ranking of luke’s take my hand tour looks:

before i start i would like to give an honourable mention to what really tops my list, which is the ripped shirt and suit from the first banquet show, the first time i saw luke in the flesh. however as this was technically not part of the tour i have removed him from this discussion.

1. blue suit and tank top (minneapolis) 

do i even need to explain myself here. i don’t think i do. its so small on him. yum yum munch bite lick.

2. the beloved suit and vest (too many cities to list. pictured: concord)

the way this became luke’s fav and all of ours too 🥰 i’ll never forget the day he took the jacket off for the first time and i gave myself a headache from simply looking at images of a man and screaming my head off alone in my flat. also look at him here in his jazzy sneakers 

3. rainbow crop top and grey trousers (austin)

otherwise known as molly’s luke. i’m calling it a crop top because that’s what it is. how dare he look so cute in this image in his tiny tiny shirt. and then he did this. the trousers were nice too 😌

4. blue patterned top and grey trousers (phoenix)

another very small almost sheer shirt that showed off a lot of his body (we see the theme here we all see it), a companion to austin almost. watch this if you need any more convincing. look how beautiful he is here

5. stripy sweater and purple trousers (plymouth)

a little bit of my own show bias here that this has remained this high up but it has such a hold on me look how slutty and cozy he is 🥺

6. black long sleeve and check trousers (dallas)

such a deceptively demure outfit, but he looked uhhh very nice in it! please see here for added movement. cozy. slutty.

7. red suit (multiple locations. pictured: milan)

this colour on him is stunning stunning and there were so many beautiful pics of it. the white t shirt under this one was also very small.

8. grey suit and gold shirt (berlin)

this might be a bit of a curveball BUT this suit was gorgggg and he looked so very 🥴 after he took the jacket off. pls see here. he also wore this whole ensemble with converse i truly love him so deeply. 

9. grey suit pink shirt (new york)

this is purely because its pink i’m sorry. look at him all sweaty tho. his chest. yum.

10. purple suit (london)

my first proper show of the tour and it was so special and he wore his special suit and i got to tell molly about it

Hi! I sent you and meg an ask after the uk leg of the tour asking for your luke outfit rankings. I would like to extend the same invitation now that tour is over. So, top 10 luke fits of the take my hand tour?

the way I have been anticipating this ask for weeks and thinking about how much I’d agonize over it, and now the day has finally come! 

as always, I appreciate the opportunity to study luke content and discuss it in detail with meg @kaleidoscopeminds and also as always luke has never once looked bad and this was both an incredibly enjoyable and an incredibly challenging task.

01. Austin

am I biased? maybe. but also, do you see him? I love the sunflower design on this shirt and it is so tiny and tight and sheer. AND never obstructed by a jacket, which means we had a fantastic view of the fit of these pants for the whole show in addition to all that bouncing and arm raising! please see these gifs for additional evidence this outfit deserves the highest honor.

02. Minneapolis

the thing about picking favorite luke outfits is that a big part of the equation is simply: how much of luke’s body is visible in the outfit? and in this case, the answer is A Lot. so here it is at #2. i’m not sorry. and it’s even more devastating in action.

03. Blue Vest shows

see above re: how much of luke’s body is visible. also, the blue looks so pretty with his eyes, and when he unbuttons the vest? wow! :) he wore this a lot, but I think my favorite iteration of this outfit is when he paired it with his jazzy blue and orange sneakers. something about luke in sneakers on stage.

04. Dallas (Irving)

he wore the thin black long sleeve quite a bit and it is a favorite of mine overall - the epitome of cozy slutty™. and these pants are so fun for so many reasons. the flair, the plaid pattern, the way they are painted onto his ass, etc. this entire outfit really just bounces so well.

05. Plymouth

a top pick from the original uk list! once again we’ve got a cozy slutty™ situation on top with the stripes, and the purple pants with that particular top is an interesting and lovely choice. plus, you know. purple.

06. Phoenix

The fun dip shirt! I’m a big fan of all these tight little mesh tops he’s been wearing, but this is one of my favorites. the colors are so pretty on him and it is also extremely tiny and tight. did i mention it’s tight? :)

07. London

i am me. the purple suit needs to be on the list. (and i maintain this color is actually the most beautiful on him.)

08. Milan

all the colored suits are gorgeous on him, but something about the deep red, plus the specific cut of this suit, just looks extra incredible. he wore it a few times, but I particularly like it with the simple white shirt under it, and he just looked so beautiful at this show with his makeup and the necklace and the belt, the whole look is perfect.

09. Denver

perhaps an unexpected choice, but there’s just something intriguing about this outfit being so different than pretty much anything else he wore all tour. it’s so comparatively casual, and for some reason that’s really working for me? the stripey shirt, the dangly belt, the jazzy sneakers…i suppose this might also qualify as cozy slutty™. and calum endorses this look too!

10. Berlin

i struggled a lot with deciding which of the silk shirts to showcase. the emerald green one and the pink one were also contenders, but i ended up with this one because i like the full outfit the most. i like the pairing of the neutral colors, and once again I have been seduced by casual sneakers with a fancier outfit.

(This was so hard there are still six other outfits + one of the Pryzm show outfits on my shortlist)
