Jimin now favors more simple elegant minimalistic styling and he's mentioned that last year but it can be seen especially for events and his casual fits so I think if he was to go to the MET what he would pick would be in line with this styling preference. Out of the couple best looking men fits this year at the MET I think the Thom Browne outfit Ben Simmons wore is probably the most in line with jimin's current style while also being a high fashion moment. Lewis Hamilton Burberry fit would also fit jimin's style well. I found it interesting that the American and British brands delivered the most for men looks this year and last year as well. Last year Shai Gilgeous Alexander's Thom Browne fit was also impeccable. I think the best is when the artist finds a stylist that really understands their style and helps them showcase that with their outfits. That's probably what jimin's stylist needs to do just lean into jimin's own style and just find ways to express that best. Overall though Kpop stylists don't know to style because they just take the fits straight off the runway or the shops without any modifications or they just stick to the same things like it's either oversized coats or some type of leather outfit with cutout or cropped tops for the men it's not giving much at this point.
Here are the looks I mentioned that I think fit jimin's style:

That Lewis Hamilton look is really nice especially the thorn neck piece. I think the other two are a nice change from just a plain suit but tweed as a material I just don’t like visually.
Simple elegance is how I’d described jimin’s overall fashion sense but nowadays I do feel like it’s gotten a lot more lax and casual. He goes for comfortable more than anything else. But for the met gala I do feel like it’d be the exception if it was in his hands. He’d definitely do his best to follow the theme while also keeping that same sensibility. He’s not gonna be out here with his crack out or showing as much skin as he could like some pjms/armys wanted him too last year. Cause to some of them they just have it in their head that him having sex appeal means he has to have something showing. For me personally, the vibe he brought with the filter outfits would be great. Neither of those looks were over stated at all, but they both had those details that made it all come together and made everything pop. Like the purple one with that single long pearl earring the loud eye shadow and his wet hair. Still in love with it to this day. So while the looks you mentioned are nice I could still see him pushing the envelope just a bit more.
That’s what I mean by he’s versatile. Look wise you could go in so many directions with him. But you made excellent points though on stylists needing to know who they’re dressing. I think people in general understand that jimin is on the androgynous side and has a very sophisticated air about him. Dior tried to mix and match the fits they put him in last year but their men’s line has never really been the best to me.

buck and eddie's red, hot, infidelity summer!
boys, when my baby found me by nondz (pinkjook) @hunybody (wip, emotional infidelity)
Three months later, things are mostly back to normal.
And then there's an accident.
something touched me (like a knife-blade) by kithmet @kithmet (emotional infidelity)
Eddie self-implodes. Christopher, seeking refuge, flees to Buck—whose priorities amount to, in varying order: take in the kid, get Eddie to talk to him, and keep the three of them afloat in the process. (Oh, and Tommy’s there too. He thinks.)
baby did a bad bad thing by Wildehack (tyleet) @wildehacked
This is just the worst idea, right, classic Buckley, a grade-A fuckup, a five-alarm fire, a pin pulled out of a grenade and tossed into Buck’s life, and he’s so stupid that he’s on his knees and moaning for it.
we can act a fool by detectivemeer @buick118
“You’re my best friend. I’d do anything for you. For both of you.” Buck’s eyes are stupid Hollywood blue and even in the dim light they glare electric. Intensified by Buck’s hushed, fevered sincerity. “You know that.”
you and tequila make me crazy by cranberrymoons @cranberrymoons (emotional infidelity)
His arm is still draped over Eddie’s shoulders, hand still holding the other side of his head, and he shifts so that his fingers push up into the hair at the back of his neck, thumb slotting up against his ear.
closer than my hands have been by cranberrymoons @cranberrymoons (emotional infidelity)
Eddie never feels easy.
Tommy feels easy, but Eddie – he doesn’t.
yes god don't speak by detectivemeer @buick118
“You’re staring.”
“What.” Eddie says. “No I’m not.”
i didn't even know that i was cold by teaspoon @standback
The first time is mostly an accident.
in the sun or in the shade by detectivemeer @buick118
“Yeah—yeah, okay. I mean, most of the stuff is the same?” Buck scruffs a hand through his hair, sliding back into his chair, long legs arrowing outward. “Like, obviously ass-play, stuff like that, that’s not new.”
We're Running With Our Eyes Closed by semperama @semperama
Buck shows up at exactly the wrong time to tell Eddie about what happened with Lucy.
nothing wrong with me loving you by cranberrymoons @cranberrymoons
He’s not thinking about it. He’s not. He’s definitely not.

okay i know the Discourse™️ has been going on for way too long at this point, but
i think some people outside of the OFMD fandom don’t actually get why we’re particularly annoying about this show
OFMD is not the first queer show to ever exist. if anything, it's a late entry in decades of queer media. over a year and a half since the first few episodes aired, everyone knows that OFMD is queer. that doesn't make it particularly special
but back in March? this is the trailer that dropped in February of 2022, 2 weeks before the premier. if you're used to seeing queer chemistry in shows that aren't intended to be queer, you might see the hints between Ed and Stede here. but to most people? it's just a silly little pirate comedy. just guys being dudes. the trailer doesn't even hint at the other 2 canonical queer relationships in the show -- the closest it gets suggesting romance is the music and the pink in the poster
so when people watched this show in March 2022, they went into it expecting subtext and nothing else. to them, it was like watching Sherlock or Supernatural or Merlin in the 2010s. if you were in any of those fandoms -- especially Sherlock and Supernatural -- you know what it was like; constant jokes at our expense, being mocked for creating explicit fanwork, made fun of by the creators and within the show itself. if we saw queer subtext, that was our problem. this was a time when you pretended NOT to be in fandom, for fear of ridicule. we kept our fanwork to ourselves, we DID NOT share it with the cast, and we accepted that our favourite ships would probably never be canon. maybe one day, if we were lucky, we'd have a show where the subtext wasn't mockery as much as deliberate foreshadowing -- but that had to be YEARS away
right?
OFMD was never billed as a queer show, not in the beginning. there was no LGBTQ+ tag on (HBO) Max, it wasn't on anyone's list of upcoming queer shows in 2022, it flew under the radar through most of its first season. this was a show about pirates, and sure, some of them were queer. but not the LEADS. if you think they're romantically involved, that's must be fandom brain poisoning
except the 9th episode aired, and they kissed. and the show said "you're not crazy for thinking they have chemistry because they really do. it's been a romance this whole time". and in the 10th episode, Stede realizes that he's in love
(not mandating you watch this clip if you don't care for the show, but there's something that feels particularly earth shattering about no one saying the word gay but knowing that Stede's realizing he is, that it's completely unambiguous and explicit in a way that only straight romances are usually allowed to be)
this is why people freaked out about this show. no one knew. even the creator, David Jenkins, was surprised when WE were surprised that it was gay for real -- he set out to write a love story, using all the tried and true beats of a rom com. he'd never even heard of the term queerbaiting. he looked at historical Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet and thought "oh, there's something here" and just...wrote that, with very little fanfare, like it was inevitable. like it was obvious. of course Jim and Pam end up together. of course Buttercup and Westley end up together. what kind of disappointing ending would it be if You've Got Mail ended with the main characters just going their separate ways?
so of course Ed and Stede are in love
look, i get it. we're annoying and won't shut the fuck up about this show that seems mediocre at best. i watched the whole thing back in march, thought "huh, that was cool" and was sure that i'd forget about it in a few days
an hour after looking at fanart on twitter, i was lost in the fucking sauce
there's just so much to unpack from a mere 10 episodes. it covers racism, toxic masculinity, gender expression, sexuality, trauma and abuse. and i don't think we should overlook the fact that the non-white characters in this show get to be fully human in a way i haven't seen in my favourite shows in recent memory
additionally, most OFMD are 25 or older. we're not people who've been spoiled by queer rep, who don't get how hard it used to be, how you'd have to grovel for scraps, how shipping and fanfiction was a way to find queer rep where we thought there never would be. we've been here. we're annoying about this show because for a lot of us, it's the first time we've been treated like our queerness isn't an anomaly that needs to be relegated to its own section, that needs to be praised for the bare minimum of acknowledging that we exist. it's not pulling punches to avoid scaring away a straight audience. it just is.
OFMD for me is like when i watched Black Panther for the first time and realized that this is what white people felt all the time. have there been other black superhero movies? of course! does Disney fucking suck? BOY does it. but that was the first time i got to sit in a movie theater and watch a mainstream film that looked at Africa and said "look at how beautiful you are, exactly as you are"
and idk. i think that's really cool
