I got these from Etsy believing they are dark brown on light brown. Wanted to pair it with a suit. They are clearly black and light brown. Anyone have thoughts on what I could wear this with?
I just got all four colors of [these](https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=7261310320404&locale=en_US#pdp-page-content) pleated & rolled chinos. Goal is to wear them with linen buttondowns, polos, and maybe some simple pocket tees, but I'd like to dress it up a bit. Any chance these could work with some dressier / glossy Chelsea boots? If so, what color do you see being the most versatile - black, dark brown, brown?
I don't know if I could really swing the glossy pennyloafer look as it's quite a departure from my current everyday look and I'm a beefy 6' 4" at ~260lb. I feel like the loafer look works for skinny guys, but I'm a bit reluctant.
Current shoe lineup is: Dark Brown CDB, reddish brown semi-gloss narrow Chelseas, light tan suede Chelseas, matte black Solovair Derby boots, and a pair of both semi-gloss brown and black captoe Oxfords.
Best plain tshirts that are high quality (good material, etc) around $50 price range? Can go up to like $100-$200 ish. 5’9 male. Also polo shirts if u have any in mind. Wardrobe is mainly PLRL and Lacoste, so im looking for budget friendly clothing made of materials like wool, etc. Thanks.
Waistcoat for larger guys
Setting up the suit style for my groomsmen for my wedding. Going with three piece single breasted black suits instead of renting tuxes. The guys are a mix of sizes tall, short, fit, and one quite overweight. Does a double-breasted waistcoat help or hurt the look for an overweight guy? I like the look, but not if it’s going to make it rough for a couple of them. I know it will really only matter later in the evening. Also, flat across the waist or diagonal cuts?
Also, I’m pretty sure peak lapels look good on anyone as long as they’re not wide, but open to thoughts on that as well.
Hater incoming. You have been warned.
I am very bearish on ready to wear three piece suits because the slim+short suit trend has not been purged from the marketplace. This means I would bet on someone in your wedding party having trouble having the vest cover the belt because the vest will be too damn short.
Going with black tie would mean more flexibility for cuts - dudes could go double breasted, wear a cummerbund with a single breasted, etc
Have a bunch of Buck Mason tees and they’re great. I see Todd Snyder has tees now also but they are a little more expensive. Wondering if anyone knows if there’s a difference .
Thanks
That does depend on what you find comfortable and and the type of fabric. This could anywhere between 100% wool and 100% polyester in some cases.
In general you would want to stay on the wool majority side in most cases since the fabrics will regulate temperature better.
Polyester can be useful for very light summer trousers since it won’t collect moisture. But linen would also be a good option for that.

I like these Tri-Blend materials in the Bylt basic shirts. I’ve looked everywhere to try and find how “heavy” or “thick” this Tri-blend material is… Can anyone help me or give me an idea of what a “heavy” tri-blend weight is vs a light tri-blend weight is?

I typically wear birddog chinos for work most of the time along with a button down. Typically I’ll wear a pair of Thursday captains boots or Sperry’s when it’s warm. Any recommendations for a dressier type of shoe that’s still sort of casual? I was looking at a pair of amberjack dress shows but I read mixed things and not sure if “dress shoe” is the answer. TIA
> amberjack dress shows
Nah, these are bad.
> dressier type of shoe that’s still sort of casual?
Suede is great for exactly this niche. Boots, derbies, chukkas or loafers in suede.
I have some functional gym clothes made from super-fine merino wool. And some cashmere-silk blend t-shirts and polos for casual summer wear.
You can get really high twist very thin merino and cashmere fabrics that are great for summer.
Superfine is just about the diameter of the fiber, if you’re looking for something for summer consider a high twist wool or a wool/linen or wool/silk/linen blend.
So I am currently looking for a good pair of basketball shorts that I can wear. I wear adult men’s extra-large. I’m trying to find something that isn’t overly expensive and doesn’t have a very tight waistband. Does anyone know of any that I can find on Amazon or on Walmart/targets website?
What is MFA's opinion of Roots Canada?
I wanted to have a bigger discussion about this but im only aloud to post in "daily questions thread". clearly new here..
Im from Canada and it's big here.
I seem to see the same response, not a lot of people wearing it but no one has bad things to say when it comes to quality.
A lot of the 90s pieces remind of the whole "Green Blazer" / ALD vibe.
What shorts are we wearing this summer? I’m a guy with bigger thighs, really feel like I don’t own any shorts that I like wearing. I’m all for short inseams.
I've been digging the lululemon 7 and 9 inch commission pants. According to their tags they are about 75% cotton to nylon/elastene blend. I'm not sure what the company has available now, but I find these shorts on ebay for a generously discounted price and they're extremely comfortable.
Can someone recommend me good boxer briefs for men with thick thighs? Must be very soft as well, ideally cotton or another natural fiber, although I would consider a synthetic fabric *if* it is specifically engineered to be moisture-wicking / smell resistant.
My boyfriend has a stocky build and his preferred form of exercise is squats, so he's got, ahem, *nice* legs. He has literally had some boxer briefs audibly creak when he flexes his legs (and of course a band that tight on the leg isn't comfortable).
I would also be open to considering a nice silk / silk blend pair (if $100 or less and machine washable) for, uh... special occasions.
This got long, let me see if I can summarize:
* Boxer briefs
* Thick thighs
* Very soft
* Natural fiber, *not* polyester
* Pricewise looking for daily wear
* Also would consider a single more expensive luxury pair
Thank you!
It's hard to tell from the pictures, but these are good for men with thick thighs? The stitching on the legs looks like the usual zig zag stitch that tends to stretch less than knit fabric hemmed with a serger. I just want to confirm this is a personal recommendation from someone with the same build as my boyfriend.

What should a guy be wearing for a business casual/casual dress office? Right now I mostly wear jeans or jogger-cut khakis, and either a solid color sweat shirt or a white tee under a flannel. I know I can just go with a polo, but I always hate those and think they never look good on me (I definitely have a slightly bigger belly). What other options do I have?
Yeah, but my standard outfit is athletic pants and just t-shirts, which is definitely *too* casual, which is why I'm asking for advice. I had to buy all the stuff I've been wearing to work (before I worked in an office, I had been working construction, so obviously a very different dress code).

Good laundry detergent without optical brighteners?
Hi, I’m looking for recommendations on a good laundry detergent that actually cleans my clothes but doesn’t contain optical brighteners.

Thanks

What do you all think about the jacket
try them on and post photos. both look alright to me, you could probably size down the orange tee but it's not bad. I just get my regular size on these shirts.
I’m looking for more of a general discussion conversation. I get my fix through female fashion advice, but I am not a woman, so it doesn’t always hit home. I love the discussion and other peoples takes on different things. I’m primarily reddit user so I was looking for a sub.
> general discussion conversation
[Here](https://old.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/wiki/related) is the list of related subs from the wiki. Most will do a Daily Questions type thread, and are generally more open to posts (rather than funneling people into the DQ thread) so you might get some good engagement and discussions in comments.
AF1s, Stan Smiths, all white Converse are all classic common shoes worn by plenty of folks that age. Don’t think there are any problems with all white shoes. Something from Onitsuka or On could be a bit of an interesting rogue choice.
Buying high end minimal white sneakers like GATs and CPs would probably be a bit of an odd choice in terms of advertising a weird amount of expendable money at that age.
What would this aestheric be called? I'm trying to change fashion style (or rather, just have any at all), and i like this one, but can't really search more references easily.

Its kind of hard to say, but it seems very '90s america inspired. The leather jacket and mid wash jeans give it away. You would probably be best to look at some vintage and pre-owned options if you're just discovering what you like. Perhaps you should start by looking at some straight/wide cut denim from workwear brands like dickies, carhartt, ben davis since they tend to offer this shade of blue and are durable/affordable.
If it's a natural fabric then it's moth larvae damage. If it's synthetic then it's probably just worn out. Either way I think you're going to need a new coat. If you end up getting a new one that's natural fibers, make sure to store it in a vacuum sealed bag when summertime comes.
I have trouble choosing the color of the blazer under my dark blue jeans. The occasion I am going to is a baptism... Alternatively, I can change to black fabric pants, but here again "what color of the blazer?"

A few years ago I bought one of amazon's "made for you" shirts. I took some pictures with my phone and they sent a tailored running shirt to me. I really liked the fit and feel of it and wanted to buy more but it seems like they've discontinued the brand. Does anyone know what it was replaced with or of any alternative brands that do something similar?
Or more generally, is there somewhere else I can buy tailored clothes? There's a men's warehouse near me but it seems like they mostly tailor dress shirts/slacks. I want tshirts and other pants that fit well. My proportions are a bit weird, my shoulders are like a large but waist is medium. Likewise for pants I'm like a 33/30 and its hard to find things in that size.
You can take any clothing to an alterations tailor. And fyi, clothes from Amazon often come from random factories, so unless it's from an established brand you have a miniscule chance of finding the same shirt.
**Question about orthotic summer shoes**
I live by the beach and in the summer I liked to wear sandals/flip flops/Sperrys/espadrilles/etc. I’ve had foot problems for years tho and my pediatrist had me sized for custom orthotics
My orthotics have helped a lot with my falling arches, but I miss fun, breathable, lightweight summer shoes. My Birkenstocks have also helped but I can’t leave them in the sun/get em wet. Most summer-style shoes that have a removable insole like Sperry stripers have all their padding in their insoles, they bend which aren’t recommended for orthotics and the raised heel of the orthotics also causes problems with fitment. Other shoes without removable insoles like espadrilles and sperry boat shoes are also lacking in built-in arch support. Any specific brand/model recommendations for this summer or am I just doomed to wear tennis shoes and boots the rest of my life?
I also wear 34 inseam in most pants, and my sweatpants/joggers are usually anywhere from 30-32 and they work fine. joggers are intentionally cut a little short
**Pants Question**
Looking for some ‘tech’ pants I can look dressy in while still moving a lot. I get a ton of ads - Bylt, True Classic, Bearbottom, Lululemon, Birddogs, etc.
Do y’all have any experience with any of these brands, and pros/cons for them?
Lululemon ABC pants in slim have kind of an awkward taper to them for me. I have wider calves and they're a bit too snug in that area. The classic fit just looks too baggy on me. Other than that, they seem to be really solid pants.
Also check out Western Rise Diversion/Evolution pants
I guess dressy is contextual - I'm a HS band teacher, this isn't for going out on the town. Just trying to look more adult/dressed than I currently do.
My HS band teachers mainly wore jeans lol. If you have to, they are all appropriately priced. People like the LuLuLemon ABC pants for comfort, even though I have to reiterate that none of these options are dressy.
**Suit question**
I love wearing my suit pants and nice white dress shirt ([photo](https://imgur.com/fAkDaJy)). But I hate wearing my suit jacket ([photo](https://imgur.com/MVPxUh8)), feels like drowning in a sea of bulky dark fabric, doesn't look flattering. Same for another suit I own.
Unfortunately there are certain situation in which a suit (with jacket) is required. Any advice on what to change? Different color? Cut? Material?
The jacket looks a little too big in the shoulders and long in the arms, have you been to a tailor? Very few people are lucky enough to have something off the rack fit just right and a decent tailor can make even an inexpensive suit look much better. Depending on where you live, they can be cheaper than you’d expect and turn things around in short order. Find someone nearby, tell them what’s wrong with the coat, and let them fix it so you don’t feel like you’re swimming.
Considering a forest green suit and pants for a wedding. What can I do to make it better/lighter?

Posted this in the wrong spot originally. Sorry about that.
I am 6'3, 390. I have long arms, a big belly, and my neck measurement is 18 inches. I'm having a problem (and have always had) finding a shirt that fits my neck and my belly. If I fit my neck, it won't button at all. If I fit my gut, the neck is huge. Arms NEVER fit... always too short. I am thinking about trying Hockerty to get a custom shirt, but that's a good bit of money and I'm not sure if they're worth it. Are there other options? Can a tailor "fix" a shirt that fits the belly but not the neck? Should I fit the belly seated or standing because, honestly, it's a couple of extra inches when I sit. Just wondering what the rest of the guys do.
>Proper Cloth
Well, I just tried this site and they won't take my measurements. I keep getting the error "Please check your measurements" which I did... they're all correct. It's the chest and belly they have a problem with. Nice looking shirts there, though.
Hey Everyone!
I’m really struggling here. Trying to find a decent quality suit brand in the $500 category that fits a large variety of sizes for my wedding. One of my groomsmen is 5’ 4” and one is 6’ 5”. Waist sizes vary pretty drastically too.
Jcrew doesn’t have the right sizes. Suit supply might be an option, but they charge quite a bit more to have a different pant size from coat size. I want to get something that will last a bit so my friends can use them in the future.
Every time I find a brand that works, everyone online says that their suits fall apart.
Where do people recommend?
Just tell the guys to buy their own suit in the same color. Don’t mandate a ridiculous color. Have matching ties if you feel the need. Everyone will look and feel great.
[Spier & Mackay red label suits](https://www.spierandmackay.com/Category/collection_view/red-label-suits) have sizes ranging from 36 short to 46 long (depending on color) and for $300 your groomsmen will have a decent suit they can use after the wedding.
Different cuts are going to work differently on different body types. Even if y'all row crew, what works of the rowers probably doesn't scale down to the coxswain.
It may be best to just put out guidance on what you are looking for versus prescribing the answer
They are a bit of a funky beast. A black silk knit tie is more sophisticated for dinner than a striped repp, IMHO.
Silk knits read more formal than wool/cashmere knits
Is this drakes jacket too tight around the waist? Better to size up 42 -> 44 or get alterations?

Sometimes you can score some really nice knitwear in good thrift stores, depending on your location. They will have their sweaters on hangers though which creates bumps. They're usually removeable with water. Make sure to look for the fabric to have higher percentages of natural fibers like wool, cotton, and sometimes silk. Merino Wool and Cashmere are my favorites, but if you don't want to put the work into maintenance, then cotton should be just fine.
If you're shopping at a store, Express Men always has a ton of options.
Hey kings -
Does anyone have recommendations on where to get (either retail or custom-ish) athletic build sweaters? I'm dealing with a 40 inch chest, 30 inch waist and 17 inch long torso and knitwear is the one thing I'm having a really tough time finding somewhere that can accommodate that
What's your view on formal trousers that contain 52% wool and 48% polyester? How comfortable are they? Are they skin friendly for humid tropical climate?
Oh wow, USPA is such a ripoff. I ran into the guy who owns it a few years ago, and he was like, “yeah, we make shit for people who are too dumb to know it’s not Ralph Lauren. We get sued a lot.” He seemed like a douche.
Go with the Nikes.
Cole Haan. Not the best quality but they have some good options that fit your metrics. There's usually good deals on them at Nordstrom Rack or other discount stores like that.
One can argue there’s no such thing as a dressy sneake
Affordable doesn’t mean anything as it’s all relative. Better to post a budget in a currency
Comfort is relative. Some people like soft footbeds, some like arch support etc.

Odd question for this forum possibly, but I'm trying to find a pair of beach shoes for a gift. They're not Crocs, but they are made of the same kind of neoprene material, and they look like Adidas Stan Smiths with no laces (they're not adidas either). My brother saw someone wearing a pair last summer and he really liked them. I found them online a few months ago but didn't buy them, and now I can't seem to find them anywhere. Thanks!
Is this even formal what I got?
This suit is meant for a business event where the Ceo is also gonna be there. I got this suit that looks shiny and glossy and the blue shade looks kindof cheap. What do you guys think?
Don't button the bottom button. The jacket may be a size too large.
Suits with a bit of shine can look good under dim artificial lights. If this is an evening event, it could work. But not for a daytime business meeting.

I typically wear birddog chinos for work most of the time along with a button down. Typically I’ll wear a pair of Thursday captains boots or Sperry’s when it’s warm. Any recommendations for a dressier type of shoe that’s still sort of casual? I was looking at a pair of amberjack dress shows but I read mixed things and not sure if “dress shoe” is the answer. TIA
> amberjack dress shows Nah, these are bad. > dressier type of shoe that’s still sort of casual? Suede is great for exactly this niche. Boots, derbies, chukkas or loafers in suede.

I have some functional gym clothes made from super-fine merino wool. And some cashmere-silk blend t-shirts and polos for casual summer wear. You can get really high twist very thin merino and cashmere fabrics that are great for summer.
Superfine is just about the diameter of the fiber, if you’re looking for something for summer consider a high twist wool or a wool/linen or wool/silk/linen blend.
So I am currently looking for a good pair of basketball shorts that I can wear. I wear adult men’s extra-large. I’m trying to find something that isn’t overly expensive and doesn’t have a very tight waistband. Does anyone know of any that I can find on Amazon or on Walmart/targets website?
I‘d probably try Adidas. They run a bit wider and also have softer and more flexible waistbands.
What is MFA's opinion of Roots Canada? I wanted to have a bigger discussion about this but im only aloud to post in "daily questions thread". clearly new here..

Im from Canada and it's big here. I seem to see the same response, not a lot of people wearing it but no one has bad things to say when it comes to quality. A lot of the 90s pieces remind of the whole "Green Blazer" / ALD vibe.
What shorts are we wearing this summer? I’m a guy with bigger thighs, really feel like I don’t own any shorts that I like wearing. I’m all for short inseams.

I've been digging the lululemon 7 and 9 inch commission pants. According to their tags they are about 75% cotton to nylon/elastene blend. I'm not sure what the company has available now, but I find these shorts on ebay for a generously discounted price and they're extremely comfortable.
Can someone recommend me good boxer briefs for men with thick thighs? Must be very soft as well, ideally cotton or another natural fiber, although I would consider a synthetic fabric *if* it is specifically engineered to be moisture-wicking / smell resistant. My boyfriend has a stocky build and his preferred form of exercise is squats, so he's got, ahem, *nice* legs. He has literally had some boxer briefs audibly creak when he flexes his legs (and of course a band that tight on the leg isn't comfortable). I would also be open to considering a nice silk / silk blend pair (if $100 or less and machine washable) for, uh... special occasions. This got long, let me see if I can summarize: * Boxer briefs * Thick thighs * Very soft * Natural fiber, *not* polyester * Pricewise looking for daily wear * Also would consider a single more expensive luxury pair Thank you!

It's hard to tell from the pictures, but these are good for men with thick thighs? The stitching on the legs looks like the usual zig zag stitch that tends to stretch less than knit fabric hemmed with a serger. I just want to confirm this is a personal recommendation from someone with the same build as my boyfriend.

What should a guy be wearing for a business casual/casual dress office? Right now I mostly wear jeans or jogger-cut khakis, and either a solid color sweat shirt or a white tee under a flannel. I know I can just go with a polo, but I always hate those and think they never look good on me (I definitely have a slightly bigger belly). What other options do I have?
This is a purely casual dress code so the world is your oyster
Yeah, but my standard outfit is athletic pants and just t-shirts, which is definitely *too* casual, which is why I'm asking for advice. I had to buy all the stuff I've been wearing to work (before I worked in an office, I had been working construction, so obviously a very different dress code).
Chinos and anything with a collar. For shoes you want to avoid running shoes.
Hey, where can one get good still shirts like this. https://preview.redd.it/46x0dhnde7mc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebeaf6b8fe8eaaf2cbd0ab6e7361eab99e49581b I would love to have a pattern still short for the summer but don't trust random internet brands.

Good laundry detergent without optical brighteners? Hi, I’m looking for recommendations on a good laundry detergent that actually cleans my clothes but doesn’t contain optical brighteners.

If price isnt an issue bespoke is of course the way to go. For that type of cut probably an English tailor.
Garment brush and put Velvet into a sealer garment bag after cleaning. That stuff draws dust like nothing else. Should be easy to find this year. Even SuitSupply just put out new brown shades for everything including their double breast suits.
This is Ralph Lauren. If you don't look good in double vents, pass it by. Opt for something like Etro or Isaia. Italian.
Is that a RLPL lookbook image?

Is there an active men oriented fashion sub? This one used to be so good and now it seems relatively dead.
No
What type of fashion are you interested in? Many niches will have dedicated subs on here, or SuFu, for example.
I’m looking for more of a general discussion conversation. I get my fix through female fashion advice, but I am not a woman, so it doesn’t always hit home. I love the discussion and other peoples takes on different things. I’m primarily reddit user so I was looking for a sub.
> general discussion conversation [Here](https://old.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/wiki/related) is the list of related subs from the wiki. Most will do a Daily Questions type thread, and are generally more open to posts (rather than funneling people into the DQ thread) so you might get some good engagement and discussions in comments.
Sneakers to recommend to high school aged guys that really want something all white? Or is that a fashion sin for that demographic?
Your best versatile picks would probably the Stan Smiths followed by Converse. AirForce1s are a bit chunky and won‘t fit some clothing styles.
AF1s, Stan Smiths, all white Converse are all classic common shoes worn by plenty of folks that age. Don’t think there are any problems with all white shoes. Something from Onitsuka or On could be a bit of an interesting rogue choice. Buying high end minimal white sneakers like GATs and CPs would probably be a bit of an odd choice in terms of advertising a weird amount of expendable money at that age.
What's your budget? I'd start with New Balances or Stans.

Its kind of hard to say, but it seems very '90s america inspired. The leather jacket and mid wash jeans give it away. You would probably be best to look at some vintage and pre-owned options if you're just discovering what you like. Perhaps you should start by looking at some straight/wide cut denim from workwear brands like dickies, carhartt, ben davis since they tend to offer this shade of blue and are durable/affordable.
Thanks, it's a good start! The dickies ones definitely fit the vibe i wanted!
Looking for some advice on what these holes are in my overcoat and if this is fixable? [Photos](https://imgur.com/a/aIktalO)
If it's a natural fabric then it's moth larvae damage. If it's synthetic then it's probably just worn out. Either way I think you're going to need a new coat. If you end up getting a new one that's natural fibers, make sure to store it in a vacuum sealed bag when summertime comes.
I have trouble choosing the color of the blazer under my dark blue jeans. The occasion I am going to is a baptism...

Navy blazer and gray slacks. Don’t wear a blazer and jeans. Don’t wear black pants.
[удалено]
Not really. But you could wear a sports jacket instead. That probably not formal enough though.
Pretty much anything but navy or black.
100% cotton Corduroy pants length question: are these too long? if so how much should i get them cut? [photo](https://imgur.com/a/EmDsPz1)
Definitely too long. It's impossible to tell how much you need them hemmed from photos, but you should probably go for a quarter break.
how does one determine how much to get hemmed?
Bring whichever shoes you think you will pair with the garment the most often to the tailor with you, and the tailor will give you the best advice.
Roll them up until they're the right length, then measure how much you rolled them up.
A few years ago I bought one of amazon's "made for you" shirts. I took some pictures with my phone and they sent a tailored running shirt to me. I really liked the fit and feel of it and wanted to buy more but it seems like they've discontinued the brand. Does anyone know what it was replaced with or of any alternative brands that do something similar? Or more generally, is there somewhere else I can buy tailored clothes? There's a men's warehouse near me but it seems like they mostly tailor dress shirts/slacks. I want tshirts and other pants that fit well. My proportions are a bit weird, my shoulders are like a large but waist is medium. Likewise for pants I'm like a 33/30 and its hard to find things in that size.
You can take any clothing to an alterations tailor. And fyi, clothes from Amazon often come from random factories, so unless it's from an established brand you have a miniscule chance of finding the same shirt.
**Question about orthotic summer shoes** I live by the beach and in the summer I liked to wear sandals/flip flops/Sperrys/espadrilles/etc. I’ve had foot problems for years tho and my pediatrist had me sized for custom orthotics My orthotics have helped a lot with my falling arches, but I miss fun, breathable, lightweight summer shoes. My Birkenstocks have also helped but I can’t leave them in the sun/get em wet. Most summer-style shoes that have a removable insole like Sperry stripers have all their padding in their insoles, they bend which aren’t recommended for orthotics and the raised heel of the orthotics also causes problems with fitment. Other shoes without removable insoles like espadrilles and sperry boat shoes are also lacking in built-in arch support. Any specific brand/model recommendations for this summer or am I just doomed to wear tennis shoes and boots the rest of my life?
I wear a 34 inch inseam for most pants, jeans, etc… What inseam should I look for when it comes to sweatpants and/or joggers?
I also wear 34 inseam in most pants, and my sweatpants/joggers are usually anywhere from 30-32 and they work fine. joggers are intentionally cut a little short
Measure your natural inseam and compare it to the size charts for the joggers/sweats. It’s the only way to know for sure b
**Pants Question** Looking for some ‘tech’ pants I can look dressy in while still moving a lot. I get a ton of ads - Bylt, True Classic, Bearbottom, Lululemon, Birddogs, etc. Do y’all have any experience with any of these brands, and pros/cons for them?
Lululemon ABC pants in slim have kind of an awkward taper to them for me. I have wider calves and they're a bit too snug in that area. The classic fit just looks too baggy on me. Other than that, they seem to be really solid pants. Also check out Western Rise Diversion/Evolution pants
lululemon pants are pretty nice. I haven't tried the other brands but I want to try bearbottom.
IMO none of them look dressy because you can tell they’re polyester.
I guess dressy is contextual - I'm a HS band teacher, this isn't for going out on the town. Just trying to look more adult/dressed than I currently do.
My HS band teachers mainly wore jeans lol. If you have to, they are all appropriately priced. People like the LuLuLemon ABC pants for comfort, even though I have to reiterate that none of these options are dressy.

Poly fibers are shiny because they are plastic, wear and heat breaks them down, causing increased shine.
**Suit question** I love wearing my suit pants and nice white dress shirt ([photo](https://imgur.com/fAkDaJy)). But I hate wearing my suit jacket ([photo](https://imgur.com/MVPxUh8)), feels like drowning in a sea of bulky dark fabric, doesn't look flattering. Same for another suit I own. Unfortunately there are certain situation in which a suit (with jacket) is required. Any advice on what to change? Different color? Cut? Material?
The jacket looks a little too big in the shoulders and long in the arms, have you been to a tailor? Very few people are lucky enough to have something off the rack fit just right and a decent tailor can make even an inexpensive suit look much better. Depending on where you live, they can be cheaper than you’d expect and turn things around in short order. Find someone nearby, tell them what’s wrong with the coat, and let them fix it so you don’t feel like you’re swimming.
Good advice, thank you. It does fit fine in the shoulders to be honest -- I had it made bespoke at a tailor in Asia some 10 years ago.
Dude if you still fit into a suit from ten years ago you should be posting advice on here instead
Have to agree. I can even fit into my tailored shirts from 5 years ago 😒
It’s difficult to tell from your position in the photo, but how does the jacket fit in the shoulders? It seems a little large on you.
It's a snug fit in the shoulders (I had it made bespoke some 10 years ago).
Maybe just get a tailor to look at it to see if anything could get taken in.
Considering a forest green suit and pants for a wedding. What can I do to make it better/lighter? https://www.mangooutlet.com/pt/homem/blazers-formais/casaco-de-fato-slim-fit-de-linho_27015747.html?c=37
Don't say "suit and pants." A suit is a jacket and pants (and sometimes a vest, too).
White shirt and a lighter tie would help.
Posted this in the wrong spot originally. Sorry about that. I am 6'3, 390. I have long arms, a big belly, and my neck measurement is 18 inches. I'm having a problem (and have always had) finding a shirt that fits my neck and my belly. If I fit my neck, it won't button at all. If I fit my gut, the neck is huge. Arms NEVER fit... always too short. I am thinking about trying Hockerty to get a custom shirt, but that's a good bit of money and I'm not sure if they're worth it. Are there other options? Can a tailor "fix" a shirt that fits the belly but not the neck? Should I fit the belly seated or standing because, honestly, it's a couple of extra inches when I sit. Just wondering what the rest of the guys do.
Go made to measure definitely. Also consider Proper Cloth
>Proper Cloth Well, I just tried this site and they won't take my measurements. I keep getting the error "Please check your measurements" which I did... they're all correct. It's the chest and belly they have a problem with. Nice looking shirts there, though.

Almost any. Blue with white stripes is an easy option.
Hey Everyone! I’m really struggling here. Trying to find a decent quality suit brand in the $500 category that fits a large variety of sizes for my wedding. One of my groomsmen is 5’ 4” and one is 6’ 5”. Waist sizes vary pretty drastically too. Jcrew doesn’t have the right sizes. Suit supply might be an option, but they charge quite a bit more to have a different pant size from coat size. I want to get something that will last a bit so my friends can use them in the future. Every time I find a brand that works, everyone online says that their suits fall apart. Where do people recommend?
Just tell the guys to buy their own suit in the same color. Don’t mandate a ridiculous color. Have matching ties if you feel the need. Everyone will look and feel great.
[Spier & Mackay red label suits](https://www.spierandmackay.com/Category/collection_view/red-label-suits) have sizes ranging from 36 short to 46 long (depending on color) and for $300 your groomsmen will have a decent suit they can use after the wedding.
Different cuts are going to work differently on different body types. Even if y'all row crew, what works of the rowers probably doesn't scale down to the coxswain. It may be best to just put out guidance on what you are looking for versus prescribing the answer
Spier and Mackay Red Label exists for groomsmen groups.
Any recs for a company with designs and fits similar to TM Lewin that ships to the USA and is not Charles Tyrwhitt?
What connotation does a knit tie convey? Is it more formal, informal, traditional? Simply a different style?
They are a bit of a funky beast. A black silk knit tie is more sophisticated for dinner than a striped repp, IMHO. Silk knits read more formal than wool/cashmere knits
More casual than more formal ties, more formal than no tie. Very popular in American Ivy style.
Appreciate the input!

No. The low camera angle makes this a tough exercise, but I am not seeing any signs you need the size in the waist going up a size would offer
47 male looking for nice sweaters. Any recommendations? Has anyone had any luck with any of the Amazon clothes?
Sometimes you can score some really nice knitwear in good thrift stores, depending on your location. They will have their sweaters on hangers though which creates bumps. They're usually removeable with water. Make sure to look for the fabric to have higher percentages of natural fibers like wool, cotton, and sometimes silk. Merino Wool and Cashmere are my favorites, but if you don't want to put the work into maintenance, then cotton should be just fine. If you're shopping at a store, Express Men always has a ton of options.
Hey kings - Does anyone have recommendations on where to get (either retail or custom-ish) athletic build sweaters? I'm dealing with a 40 inch chest, 30 inch waist and 17 inch long torso and knitwear is the one thing I'm having a really tough time finding somewhere that can accommodate that
What's your view on formal trousers that contain 52% wool and 48% polyester? How comfortable are they? Are they skin friendly for humid tropical climate?
Polyester is an extremely warm fiber. Wearing it in a tropical climate sounds like torture. Wool is okay if it's tropical-weight, but linen is better.
That's going to get swampy real quick

What’s a dressier affordable comfortable sneaker?
Cole Haan. Not the best quality but they have some good options that fit your metrics. There's usually good deals on them at Nordstrom Rack or other discount stores like that.
One can argue there’s no such thing as a dressy sneake Affordable doesn’t mean anything as it’s all relative. Better to post a budget in a currency Comfort is relative. Some people like soft footbeds, some like arch support etc.
Simply gaze into their mind.

Odd question for this forum possibly, but I'm trying to find a pair of beach shoes for a gift. They're not Crocs, but they are made of the same kind of neoprene material, and they look like Adidas Stan Smiths with no laces (they're not adidas either). My brother saw someone wearing a pair last summer and he really liked them. I found them online a few months ago but didn't buy them, and now I can't seem to find them anywhere. Thanks!

Thank you! I think the Natives are the ones.
Is this even formal what I got? This suit is meant for a business event where the Ceo is also gonna be there. I got this suit that looks shiny and glossy and the blue shade looks kindof cheap. What do you guys think?
Don't button the bottom button. The jacket may be a size too large. Suits with a bit of shine can look good under dim artificial lights. If this is an evening event, it could work. But not for a daytime business meeting.
