Really ?
So you get up and throw on your Sack, Shuffle into your loafers and you're done.
I can't understand Ivy Angst.
It's the opposite of the style.
Perhaps ?

for me the worst that could happen is I get stuck with the shipping both ways if the thing isn't right ......
What's this angst you speak of?
The worst that could happen would be some weird oily stain on the back of your new OC's grey worsteds. Probably sat on some foodstuff in a restaurant chair or something. I have no idea where it came from. Impervious to spot treating, the stain means the trousers are heading to the cleaners. It didn't insight angst, but dismay.
Cigar burn on the sport coat I just got
Another hazard of smoking. Almost as dire as the health risks.
I've just got some Balsamic vinegar on my sta-prest. True.
Waiter dropping your plate in your lap as he empties the table, Vietnamese dinner residue all over lap - Waiter is more angry than me when I expect discount - the joys of the crazy eateries on Kingsland Road East London.
Grail item you've pursued for years arrives from ebay and initial euphoria evaporates when you realise it doesn't fit.

/\ With you on that.
If anything, under-thinking Ivy just improves the look in my book. Angsting over it always seems to mitigate against the relaxed elegance of the style. It shouldn't be a fussy look. Nothing too studied.
That, of course, comes from an English point of view that sees an inherent informality in Ivy with its soft construction in even its most formal items.
America may well see the style differently.
... it happened ... when a filly gets silly and starts taking your shirts and wearing them as pajamas ... that's really too much ... actually it's not that bad when I come to think about it .....
Hahaha.

A helpful distinction.

Surely no one on here.
People who aren't naturally angsty who discover clothes and start to angst over them.
