Is swagger jacking someone a compliment or an insult? I remember an old, classic television show by the name of Jersey Shore that first touched on the phenomenon of swagger jacking or "swacking." Basically, it means that you are an unoriginal scab who has no personality and only absorbs the traits of those you surround yourself with. But sometimes you swagger jack someone who has good taste and you are relieved of some of the pressure solely because you made a good choice in who to swagger jack. Which brings us to this Lemaire long shirt. This is a full-on Jon Moy swagger jack if I have ever seen one and I am unashamed. I probably should have just gone full turbo and started this off with something like: "You guys have, like, a billion long shirts, right? Because if you've been reading Four Pins, you should have, like, a billion long shirts." I actually tried on a very similar long shirt last season from EG and it just wasn't working then, but I feel like Lemaire just gets my personal aesthetic and fit better, so I assume this would work for me. I mean, summer is going to get real fucking hot and simply having the option to drop trou whenever the fuck you want is a plus when it comes to summer garments. I have this weird feeling that Moy really only likes long shirts because of their ability to turn into a male sun dress at a moment's notice. And that type of historic vision is worth swagger jacking.
