if you feel like unpacking this a little, i’m curious as to how you see frequency in this context, and also what fft is

i too feel there’s wide and complex aesthetic variance for plaid shirts but it’s vibey and inchoate for me and now i’m conscious of and dissatisfied with that state of affairs. i think my axes are degree of contrast among colors (navy/forest low, navy/orange high), vividness of color palette overall, and something like ‘scottish’ vs … the opposite of that. fashion (pejorative)? it’s not purely old-authentic vs new-inauthentic because iterations like new england prep and old-school punk would sit very close to the scottish end; the other end is berries, candies, sorbets, pastels, etc and would include your last example

of those you posted, 1 is “best” almost to the point of slightly boring. one wouldn’t be making a mistake. i would consider any of the top three per fit and fabric. 2 would require highish energy to deploy, due not so much to the very high contrast blue/orange as the stark white background. maybe i need a dark/light axis instead of a vividness one, although i do think there should be a way to capture the difference between forest and dark mustard.

good plaid shirt, medium frequency with higher frequency overtones, clear cheque pattern, harmonious high chroma scottish colours

bad plaid shirt because of the vertical and horizontal mismatch, trying to wear two shirts at once.

bad plaid shirt bc fft is too simple but fair in other respects

bad plaid shirt. colour scheme not even vaguely Scottish, pattern is too low frequency

My elderly neighbor joked the other day that he needed a lawn flamingo like the ones in my yard. Little did he know my housemate and I would buy a matching pair of very large flamingos for both our lawns.

I'm gonna put one on his lawn and see how long it takes him to notice.

Androgyne (1965), Glenn Hellmann. The primordial androgynous beings angered the gods, who punished them by splitting them into male and female halves. Ever since, they have wandered the earth until they find their other halves, in this case behind the Merrion Centre in Leeds.
