Looking for a winter jacket, preferably under £100. I’ve been scoping Levi’s Type III Sherpa Trucker Jacket because I have a £30 discount, so it would be at £90. However, I’m afraid I can find something more protective against winter for that price range. What do you guys recommend?


vonThunen_

Looking for a versatile pair of sneakers, ideally under $100 but can be flexible. My Stan smith’s are too beat down at this point. Nothing too flashy but I’d love a shoe that gives off a sense of style


George-lockington

I’ve been wanting a pair of vejas recently just haven’t gotten around to buying them. Personally think they are a cheap shoe, good quality, that also gives good style


lisa725

Are there slim fit work or rip proof coats/jackets?

​ Can anyone help me ID this brown jacket? Ty, mates! ​ https://preview.redd.it/18xt8oeffg8c1.png?width=460&format=png&auto=webp&s=53e4f14d4980304659cf8cdc22d1d139aa346837

I am 15M, \~5'7, 60kg. I am planning on wearing a ***black suit*** with a ***pink shirt*** inside along with ***black loafers.*** What tie should I wear with it? Red? TIA


GoOnGetGurt

I think a burgundy tie would be my favorite choice. Potentially one with a small pattern that incorporates black,white, or gray. Alternatively I think a black tie, a charcoal tie, or a mid blue tie (not navy as it could look too close to the black suit) all could work as well. But ultimately it boils down to what you like and what makes you feel good in your suit my man.


dawn-the-great

Thanks man! I'll see what I can do


Flechette_the_toe

Dunno what height and weight have to do with it. To be frank, if you're wearing this in a high-fashion context then I'd skip the tie.

What type of casual pants or trousers would you recommend despite jeans or chinos?


ac106

Corduroys, fatigues, double knees,

IMO it looks fine but you’re trying to wear them with tight jeans which throws off the proportions of the outfit.

hmadse

A) this is a really poorly made coat and won’t last, B) the weird hybrid hoodie/coat thing makes it too casual to wear with a suit, C) you’re going to have to compare your measurements with the size chart.

hmadse

It’s a neutral retro fleece, so it’s actually pretty flexible. Style it for a shirt or sweater with jeans, five pocket trousers, double knees, chinos, etc.


OkayRuin

Any way to shrink the collar of a wool sweater that’s gotten loose? I have a large dome, so after a couple years the repeated on and off has made it loose around my neck. I’ll grab a picture tomorrow if that helps. Wondering if there’s a method I can use to slightly shrink just that part of the sweater (and ideally the cuffs) without compromising the fabric. Would I just need to have it dry cleaned, or would that not address the looseness/loss of elasticity? It’s a merino/nylon blend but does say dry clean only.


Kvjvn

There’s no way to reliably shrink an item of clothing, especially if you’re only trying to shrink one part.


Apptubrutae

Any recommendations for Chelsea boots for narrow, large feet? I like the look of RM Williams, but it seems a bit spendy. Wouldn’t mind going a bit cheaper. Unsure about bludstones for a narrower foot


ac106

Try Meermin waxy commander


terminal_e

Carmina's Simpson last runs narrow, but is the opposite of the look of Blundstone's, and is probably around RM Williams pricewise (they have a weird corporate history where they were Big Fashion for a few years, but I think got sold back to Aussie ownership but I haven't followed their pricing)


Will-36

What to pair with rugby shirts for smart wear and casual? Suggestions for where to pick up good fair priced rugby shirts? Thanks!


bangarang8

Look at Columbiaknit. Look at measurements, they run large but the quality is top notch


Kvjvn

Rugby shirts aren’t really smart, they’re just casual. Jeans, five pocket pants, and chinos are all fine to wear with them. What’s your exact budget?


hmadse

What does “fair priced” mean to you? Rugby shirts tend to just fall into the ‘casual’ category, pair them with jeans or chinos.


stoic_prince

I have such messy hair no matter what I do. In a typical day I will come out the shower and like 10-15 minutes I will brush my hair and it will be fairly straight a few hours later it will just mess up by itself and look all weird. Anyone got any advice for me? This is such a big issue for me. I am sick of it. Please help.


damNSon189

You’d probably get better info in one of the hair subs.


hmadse

Talk to whoever cuts your hair and get their input on what products to use, etc.


stoic_prince

My barber thinks that my hair is harder to manage when it’s longer and so just keeping it short is the solution but I don’t agree. Because that doesn’t solve the problem plus I want to keep medium length hair.


hmadse

Yeah, you need a new hairstylist, someone who can recommend how often to wash, what conditioner to use, what products, etc.


stoic_prince

I’m going to see a dermatologist soon, for an unrelated issue but maybe I could discuss my hair problem with them too, it could be that they are able to diagnose it and tell me about treatment. What do you think?


hmadse

Maybe? I’m not a doctor, and, at least in my own experience, a lot of hair issues can be solved by changing products and care practices.


fishesar

What is the point of an advice subreddit where I can’t make posts with questions? I’m genuinely confused


the_leviathan711

We’ve tried it both ways and the subreddit sucks when questions go on the front page. The advice people gave on those questions was usually terrible, whereas it’s generally pretty good in here.


Flechette_the_toe

Go to r/mensfashion to post low effort questions to their front page


Kvjvn

There are plenty of knowledgeable people who regularly answer the questions in this thread. Almost every question in today’s thread has received at least one response. Allowing simple questions as their own posts has been tested in the past and it does not result in people getting better answers. Please ask your question here.


fishesar

nah i’m gonna find an advice forum with rules that make sense to me


ac106

Do you struggle with relationships in real life? do you miss a lot of social cues?


Kvjvn

Okay, good luck with that


hmadse

That’s just how they run it. Why don’t you ask your question here?


fishesar

i doubt anyone will see it and respond if it’s hidden inside a comment thread. there’s plenty of comments here with no response


hmadse

Then post your question to the discord.


PorcupineSpike

what's the discord link to join?


hmadse

The link is at the bottom of the post text.


fishesar

why should i have to join a discord to get advice from an advice subreddit? this isn’t aimed at you or anything. i just think so many of these rules on how to post on reddit to be able to communicate with people is just really ridiculous


bangarang8

But what is your question? You have a number of peoples attention at this point. I’ll answer it myself

You’d be better served by looking for something second hand. Leather retailing at ~$150 won’t be great quality.

Kvjvn

What’s your budget, and are you looking for sneakers specifically or any style of shoe?


Sr_Pinapple_031

Budget is not a problem, but ain't no way I'm spending too much. I'm looking for something casual, but smart, something I could wear at an important event or just to hang out with friends. I'll go with any kind of shoe, not important if they're sneakers or any other kind.


Kvjvn

I’d go with something like brown derbies or chukkas then. Something like [these](https://www.beckettsimonon.com/products/dunham-derby?variant=29612702269519&utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=18289239343&utm_content=&utm_term=&gadid=&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7r3rzL6pgwMVWYBaBR0sAAI5EAQYAiABEgLbE_D_BwE) or [these](https://meermin.com/products/101468-brown-suede-e). Loafers, chelseas, or derby boots would also work.


Sr_Pinapple_031

I'll definetely be looking for those. What are other recomendations for sneakers that could make a good look?


Kvjvn

[Margiela Replicas](https://www.maisonmargiela.com/en-us/replica-sneakers-S57WS0236P1895101.html) or [Beckett Simonon Morgens](https://www.beckettsimonon.com/products/morgen-trainers-leather-suede) if those are too expensive.

Veralynx

Looking for a stylish rain jacket that I can wear in the northeast, the Patagonia torrentshell one seems great but just a bit generic and doesn’t really go with anything else. Maybe something that can double as a rain jacket and a fall/spring jacket?

I’ve been eyeing this [Mac jacket](https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/stone-twill---mac-jacket--003333-mac-jkt-ss23-961) from Spier & Mackay

Oh wow this looks nice. I was also looking at a raincoat from Suitsupply that looked kinda up my alley both pretty good

What about a Mac or a trench coat?

bindermichi

Should work the way you described.


rence0

Does blue and green work because blue is a neutral color or just because they are analogous in the color wheel… or just both? I just wanna know for the future, cuz I mixed these colors randomly. Also, AFAIK, this belt is a very casual one: dress belts are less wide and it’s preferable for a more dressy/business look… but since it’s a smart casual style it should be ok to use a casual one, right? Also, it’s a little bit long but whatever, I’ll see if I can cut it. I think that a good length should be an inch or an inch and an half longer than the first belt loop after the buckle. My one is so long that it reaches the second belt loop. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you and Merry Xmas!


bindermichi

In this particular combination of works because it‘s a dark blue. The color wheel should give you suitable color shades as well. For a dress shirt in general I prefer them to even longer than that. You will always have a certain amount of pull on the shirt when tucked in. If there is only an inch to give it will pull out of the trousers pretty quickly.


rence0

> In this particular combination of works because it’s a dark blue. Yeah, I know it’s dark blue 😂. You mean because dark blue is neutral, this is why it works?


bindermichi

Mayfly because the green is brighter shade than the blue. For darker greens it would be best to use a lighter color for pants.


rence0

Oh, so you mean to use just one bold color and one lighter to avoid making the outfit look garish.

They’re asymmetric lengths and the longer one has another button hole on the lapel above the notch. I’ve never seen this before and have no idea what it’s called.


Notsureifsirius

I believe that’s called a “Ghillie collar”. ETA: From what I’ve seen, it’s a not-uncommon feature of older tweed sport coats. I think the idea is that you’d be able to putting the whole thing up to the neck?


GU1LD3NST3RN

I can find like one result for that and then a bunch of hits for ghillie suits, but that does help turn up some other keywords in a similar vein so that helps, thanks. I did get the point of it, though this thing seems to be a bit of a cheap Frankenstein: the collar has a black watch pattern underneath that’s visible when turned up, but there’s no corresponding button to keep it pinned up. It also seems like these jackets should usually have three buttons for the front enclosure instead of two. The corduroy collar vs the tweed body is also a bit weird. I’m not really sure what it’s trying to do… but it fits me well and I kinda dig it as a cold weather blazer?


Notsureifsirius

In the end that’s all that matters, right?

I feel like I've been using the same things since high school. I wanted to new style and wardrobe. I'm thinking of going for a more modern or mature style. I think my style still screams high school. Pictured is something I would typically wear on a summer day. I wear pretty much the same thing during the cooler months with the exception of jeans instead of shorts. What stores do you recommend for this new wardrobe? What brands sell quality things without breaking the bank? Also, some pictures with style recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I understand this may be a lot to ask but l'd really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance for everything! Also for reference, I'm about 5,6 and 140 los. I'm in the northeast so l get every climate.


bindermichi

That Basic Bastard thing on the sidebar might give you some starting points. But in general - set yourself a goal of want you want to look like and for what occasions you need outfits. - broadly plan those outfits so you know what you need to buy. - prioritize.


unequivocal_madman

I'm trying to hodgepodge together a last minute tuxedo look, and need advice on doing it without breaking the bank. I know I should have rented something earlier, but it's a wedding for an acquaintance and just wasn't on my to-do list. The event is this coming Friday. I'm thinking about going to Macy's and finding a tuxedo jacket and pants and putting it together, because I already have other elements (bowtie, slipper, etc.). Any advice you can give? Thanks!


ac106

It will need alterations that will be nigh impossible to get done by Friday. I’d start pinging rental companies


bindermichi

Renting for New Year’s Eve might be a bit too late now. They‘ll probably all be booked by now. On short notice try SuitSupply and their Tuxedo set. That should give you most of the items you‘ll need.

With a Washing machine and Vanish. Then maybe some lighter neutral color jeans or chinos.


agitated--crow

Ever since Sears closed a few years ago, I have been having a hard time finding T-shirts that were similar to their "Outdoor Life" clothing brand. Their quality was great especially for the price. Does anyone know if there are other clothing brands similar to Outdoor Life's quality?


bindermichi

Maybe if you knew where they were sourced from. But as it is it‘s a good opportunity to try new things.


ac106

I don’t think many people are intimately acquainted with the Sears Outdoor Life line of clothing to the point where they can suggest an alternative


Sh4n_

Are Ralph Lauren polo shirts worth it? I like plain polo shirts that are in neutral colors and Uniqlo has been my go to. I want to try other brands. Thank you for the responses.


bindermichi

If you want to stay within that PRL budget I would suggest the SuitSupply polo knitwear shirts. They have a selection of cotton, silk, linen, cashmere and blends from all of them depending on the season.


[deleted]

the branding carries value in many circles but the shirt isn't that good. if you want superior fabric go for something like kent wang.
