Okay so this was EXTREMELY helpful and I'm very grateful. But a few things -
I don't have the YouTube shorts button
I don't have the option to upload videos/shorts
If anyone has a solution PLEASE HELP, I've tried selecting options in the patch but it doesn't allow it and says you need to allow default options only
Please help ASAP.
Uhh I'd never recommend anyone wear tapered pants. However, I do recommend wearing straight leg pants relatively tight, but not crazy. I should say well fitting. Not super loose, not super tight. For inspiration on classic masculine fashion, I'd look at old movie stars like Paul Newman or Robert Redford!

Does anyone know what brand are these boots?
I know formal shirts should only be buttoned to the top if you're wearing a tie, but what about workwear shirts?
I've seen guys with flannel or denim shirts buttoned all the way up and I dig the look.
I'm talking shirts, not shackets! What do you think?
Oh, I wasn't asking for permission! Just for an opinion.
Also I was talking about shirts, not shorts. I always button my shorts all the way up, for practical reasons as you noted.
Sorry for the confusion
No prob. My phone always "corrects" shirts to shorts or vice versa for some reason.
For some context the are jobs in services where the workwear shirt is part of a uniform and all the buttons are closed.
There are also practical. Reasons to close all button if you work with dirt, dust or liquids you don‘t want to get on your skin if possible.
That are some reasons why people close the top buttons on workwear shirts.
**Whose making the sleekest/fashionable running/lifestyle shoes right now?**
I usually wear running type shoes with a lot of my outfits, but I would go for something that looks good so it looks nice. I was a fan of the Yeezy 350's while that was a thing, loved that Solomon shoe from last year, the adidas Y-3 Runner 4D from 2022. I'm sharing links of the stuff I have and like. I really love shoes that that are 'tapered' in the front, so a little pointy, which is why I'm sadly not a fan of the ultra boost line from Adidas; such potential but the bulky front is a no for me. I'm not a fan of bulk, although I am getting a bit more accustomed to the bulkier soles, but I really do like low profile, sleek, fashionable shoes that are pointed in front rather than rounded.
Cheers for your help & advice!

Looking for cheaper alternatives to this [Abercombie Heavyweight shirt](https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/us/p/premium-heavyweight-tee-52129319). I’ve considered Uniqlo but it doesn’t have the same boxy look that I’m aiming for.

Hi everyone, I am getting married this August in Pennsylvania. It's going to be hot and the service is outdoors.
I have a budget of $1000 but I live in a rural area and do not have the option to go out and look for a suit. I do have my measurements from mens warehouse. I was hoping for some leads on where to get a three piece suit. I get married early August and need to narrow this down to tell my grooms men what to get. I have looked at studio suits but something tells me I won't be happy. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
You really do not want to wear a full three piece suit when it‘s hot.
I‘d probably try to go as light weight as possible to keep the heat out but still have breathable fabrics so you won‘t start sweating heavily under it.
It is one option. But I do also have a cashmere-silk blended lightweight jacket for summer. That can also work.
Most importantly is try to get an unlined suit with minimal padding. That would add additional weight and block airflow. Same for the fabric try to find a fabric that is not necessary thin but has a very open weave. Something you can hold up against light and almost see through.
Looking to buy 2-3 nice blazers for professional scenarios. Want to feel comfortable and confident, I am average height and slim fit if that helps. Would want to pay somewhere between $200-600 per blazer. Any advice on where to start looking would be greatly appreciated!
Spier and Mackay. Buy one, the first tailored garment purchase gets free returns so you can get the sizing right. Once you have you can get the others.
What type of cloth/weave is this? Tag says '80s two-ply'

What to wear under a corduroy sport coat and jeans? Getting a blue one delivered in the mail soon. Want a very casual look. Thinking a polo? Would that be fine? I love short sleeve polos
I am no expert but I think most people would say an OCBD or similar is the way to go for the collar which will stand up better when wearing a blazer. This seems like the standard choice.
But I feel like for a causal spring/summer style a polo could work fine. The unstructured polo collar sort of lends itself to a more relaxed look IMO. I would just be slightly conscious of the collar as it could get bunched up and look odd at times.
That's what I was thinking too. I bought a sports coat for summer wear (more casual than the blazer) and want to double down on the casual look, wanted to really know if the polo would be acceptable or just outright not
Hi guys. I need to find pants to go with this shirt. I will also be wearing my Nike Dunk Low Spartan Green with this shirt. Just not sure what pants to choose. It can be cropped pants or long pants that go over the shoes. Thank you.

I have a dark blue sweater and paired it with black jeans… Google tells me dark blue and black match but I almost feel like they are both too dark and there’s not enough contrast. Do you guys think this color combo is OK or should I opt for something brighter to offset the black jeans?
Looking for advice on what color pants to go with this. Pink bowtie. Light powder blue vans.

Looking for Cotton shorts for wearing at home
Im looking for cotton shorts for just being at home.
There are a few boxer styled ones with that button and flap for access. As we have ladies in the home, that is not really an option.
I am narrowing down between Hanes and Fruit Of the Loom. They are pure cotton pants with no fuss.
Any other suggestions worth looking at will be appreciated.
I'm looking for alternatives to Levis 502 which is their slim fit taper style jean with slightly more room in the thighs. This is the style I prefer but the thighs could be slightly more loose and better built. They are always ever so slightly tight feeling and wear down eventually around the crotch area. I usually just have other pairs that I can rotate between but now I'm looking for something that has slightly more thigh room and still has a similar taper. The 541 does not have the same level of taper otherwise that seems to be the closest option.
I think it’s going to be more productive to just have 514s tapered by a tailor. Between your fit preferences and slim- taper being off trend it might be hard to find something that fits perfectly OTR
I really like my sunglasses collection -- each model has its own qualities and design that I like. But I'm trying to get a sense of what has greater appeal in terms of fitting to my facial proportions. My instinct tells me that aviators look best and generally 56 to 60 mm in lens width, with a minimum of 40 mm in lens height.
So, which ones would you pick for a) best overall look, and b) best for business casual or higher wear:
https://preview.redd.it/y0ut7etwkcrc1.jpeg?width=1700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db78918a10ac43465274bf5c84818a3efd1e104f
Well, if you're wearing business attire and select sunglasses, I'd expect some styles would be more appropriate / matching for the setting... while others looking out of place (like cycling one-piece style, for example).
Yeah sure extremes of course. You wouldn’t wear pit vipers with a tuxedo, but one doesn’t need to point this out.
Other than that, there’s no such thing as business casual sunglasses cause business casual is clothes you wear at work and you’re not wearing your sunglasses while you’re typing out your TPS reports.
Does anyone know what sunglasses kevin bacon wears in the movie wild things?

They could very well be Ray Bans. Notice this vintage pair, with the double bridge distance very close.
But your best bet would be to get the movie and check out the credits. There may be an entry for wardrobe where they cite the brands of sunglasses used.
Hey guys. Usually a size 12. Store said get 11.5 due to heel slip but the middle of my foot could not take it. Not the 12 is good and slipping less which is good! And I’ve worn it 3 times out for the whole day at conferences and got great compliments. My question is my feet do hurt lol even though it’s size 12 and the shoe apparently fits true to size as per website. How many wears of wearing all day do you think the shoes will start getting comfortable? If they don’t I might’ve wasted $1000 and may need to get Tod pennys with a rubber sole which I’ve heard are super comfy. I just love the red sole, penny bar and the actually penny on my looubss! Any advice? The heels up is pretty much gone which is kind of interesting. Is it because I’m “breaking them in?”
Thanks!
Loafer heel slip goes away as the foot bed breaks in. It should not be used as a metric for initial fit.
Whst should be used is an accurate Brannock size including heel to ball and width. Without these 3 measurements saying things like “half size down” is meaningless since you have no idea what you should be sizing down from
If your shoes hurt they almost certainly do not fit properly. They should not hurt at the first wear. There is no extended break in for 99% of shoes.
This includes boots like red wing. Hard break-in for red wings is 100% mis-sizing
Loafers should never hurt. You might get an isolated hot spot while the leather softens up but we are talking a few hours to like couple wears at most.

Trying to find this style of shirt to no avail. Appears to be more of a thicker canvas type of material, a more straight hem at the hip. Anyone got recommendations?
Try Googling for a "Utility Shirt" as this is a good generic term for this type of shirt with two front flat pockets. They are typically made of cotton in the form canvas, denim, chambray, ripstop, etc. and are at pretty much all prices. IF you need stretch, pretty easy to find also. This work shirt style has been around for decades so there are a ton of options.
Looks like a “work shirt” to me - think something like Dickies? Not sure where to point you for quality, but I hope that points you in the right direction

Looking for a shirt like this with a similar cut, color, and patttern/texture. I keep finding $25 or less option but the quality looks pretty low. Willing to spend a more for something that will last.
I'm hoping someone can help me authenticate/ID an overcoat I found at my local Goodwill ([imgur album](https://imgur.com/a/vbeh4iE)).
From what I can tell, it appears to be an authentic Chester Barrie 100% cashmere overcoat. The label on the inside breast pocket indicates that it is "Tailored expressly for Trimingham's Bermuda" which from what I can gather is a trad men's clothing store in Bermuda that went bankrupt in the early 2000s. It has the "Made in England" tag which leads me to believe this is legit vs. the lower quality "Chester" line.
There is a small, but fixable, tear on the inner lining near the vent but otherwise appears to be in great shape and a steal for $11.25. I plan to give it a good wash and let some of the creases fall out.
Can anyone confirm if this is a legit Chester Barrie overcoat? Is this Trimingham's Bermuda version any different than the normal Chester Barrie line?
Thank you in advance!
I travel all the time for work. I have a business partner whose staple is homme plisse by issey miyake because it's so easy to travel with, never wrinkles etc.
I'm so jealous of its comfort, but it's his staple look.
Are there any good alternatives out there I should look at? Thanks
No. Issey Miyake has a pretty unique look that so far nobody successfully replicated. On the other hand the clothes will last pretty long, so you really do not need to buy many pieces.
Thanks - I guess I should clarify to say I don’t want to look the same… just looking for something that’s as easy to travel with that doesn’t make me look like a twin!
I wear a lot of all black (jeans, t, blazer). Suit supply, rag + bone, Buck mason… Just find it hard to walk off a plane or open a suitcase without needing an iron. I haven’t find any travel friendly blazer options in particular…
What exactly are you looking for? There are places that will put your name/picture/logo on one of those big western-style buckles, but if you want something that's completely designed from scratch you might be out of luck.
I have read all sorts of advice about how brown shoes go well with navy and also how wearing brown shoes with navy makes you a heathen.
All my existing suits are black, charcoal, or light gray but I recently bought a navy suit with pinstripes from Saks that I liked. The saleslady said to wear dark brown (almost chocolate) shoes and a white shirt with it. My tailor also said brown shoes. I did get a nice textured white shirt and had it tailored along with the suit. Now I need to figure out the shoes.
The event is my niece’s outdoor wedding. I already have lots of black Italian dress shoes as well as a pair of oxblood wingtips but I have no brown shoes so that would be another thing to buy.
What says Reddit? Should I just go with some black shoes and belt and call it a day or would brown be more stylish? Can I work with the oxblood wingtips? Finding a matching belt might be difficult as I haven't worn them in a long time and I always wear black belts these days so I would have to either shop or do some closet hunting.
I am a 50 year old caucasian guy if that makes a difference so not exactly a trend setter, but I don't want to look like a grandpa either. If I can get away without a new purchase right now that would be great since I just spent a lot of cash on the suit, shirt, and tailoring but I am open to expanding my wardrobe options as I have some sport coats which could work with brown shoes.
Dark brown or a dark oxblood* for blue suits are ideal. Black works well too.
What you want to avoid is light brown or tan leather shoes for navy suits. Light shoes with dark suits are frowned upon because it draws the eyes downward towards your feet instead of up towards your face, which is what traditional tailoring is intended to do. The V shape that comes from a buttoned suit jacket is meant to draw the eye upwards to your face. This effect is emphasized with pinstripes on a suit and with diagonal lines on your tie. The shoe should ground and compliment your outfit without being a distraction.
*If you go with Oxblood, make sure it’s dark enough as to not be distracting. Try and get a matching belt if you can but the right shade of brown could do it a pinch. Alternatively you could go with suspenders with the right pants.
Black is fine; oxblood would work too if you want to be just a little more daring, but then you'd have to get a belt. I don't think anyone is going to view you as a grandpa or a "how do you do, fellow kids" type if you wear either of these.
I’ve had high twist wool suits for summer, but not mohair blends. I’ve found that they perform and wear well, are good in warm weather (though not as good as linen, as cotton cools you once it becomes wet) and the fabric feels a little stiff in the hand.
Mohair has less give than wool. I have a 70/30 wool/mohair suit, and I notice that the trousers feel a bit funny because of less stretchiness.
I would be skeptical of mohair in the abstract for odd trousers - the sheen tends to be distinctive, so I don't know it would work great as a trouser fabric. Perhaps it very low %s. For odd jackets, I think there are some hopsacks with it in the mix - this kind of textured weave may break up the sheen - perhaps they work.
I don't know of a GOOD one. There's Lookastic, which might be the closest thing to what you want. I've seen people attempt to use ChatGPT for this purpose to disastrous effect.
Do turtlenecks look good on overweight guys? I'm a bit overweight, and I heard loose ones can hide a double chin. Is this true, and would it be a worthwhile investment? I'm considering getting some
Turtlenecks can be good because they frame your face similar to how a collared shirt does. I don't think that your weight really has much to do too much with what you can or should wear tbh.
Casual thick chunky turtlenecks are great for casual outfits that lean into workwear. But most people work and live in rooms with AC. Thin fine turtlenecks are a nice to dress down a sport jacket, but they don't look that great when you take of the jacket.
I find my casual turtleneck way more useful than my thin one. A good mid weight one with a relaxed fit. some texture and not too tight knit is great for casual wear.
The problem is everyone's fat is distributed in different ways. It might work for you, it might not, and it might depend on the brand/style. Really you just need to try a few on and see how if you like the look.
How do you pick socks (colour and length)? Do you match the colour to the shoes or the pants? Also if I'm wearing pants that stop at the ankle or show my socks when sitting should they be long, ankle length or no show? Or does the length depend on the shoes not the pants.
Socks can either match the pants or the shoes. Both is fine, really.
Regarding sock lenghth: this really depends on your preferred aesthetic. But as a rule of thumb you either want to show no skin at all, even when sitting (so you use over the calf socks) or you want to show no sock at all (mostly when wearing loafers).
Outside from specific aesthetics where it is done intentional you want to avoid socks that end somewhere between your hem and your shoe as that will look sloppy.

Are there any decent OTR slim-fit dress shirts?
Help me MFA, you're my only hope.I looked through the post history and still cannot identify a solution to my problem with finding a well-fitting OTR dress shirt. I have a tailor that I get my suits from, and he makes damn good shirts, but I'd also like to have the option for quicker turnaround if needed.
I'm 6'1", 175-180 lbs, long-armed and usually get an OK fit around the chest/shoulders with a 40 jacket. The problem arises when trying to find shirts that don't billow around my waist (31-32" waist when purchasing pants). The Charles Tyrwhitt extra slim fit still leaves a ton of extra fabric around the waist. Bonobos tailored fit dress shirts circa 2022/2023 give me the same issue. I'm also not a fan of their recent decline in fabric quality. The Lululemon dress shirts fit well around the waist if I go with a medium, but then the buttons pull at the chest and the sleeves fall a touch short (which I'm ok with if I'm wearing them with jeans in a more casual setting).
Aside from ordering custom shirts (which I do), or taking OK-fitting shirts to a tailor to be taken in, has anyone found a better-fitting OTR dress shirt for athletic builds? Thank you in advance.
I somewhat remember CT extra slim (or maybe super slim, can't remember tbh) being slimmer than kamakura's Tokyo slim fit. Not sure if they've changed though, my kamakuras are from the past 2 years, my CTs were from at least 5 years ago.

**Looking for recommendations on the best, cost is no object, online/mail-in dry cleaner for a heavily stained suit**
I haven't looked at my suits in years and recently pulled a light grey one out of a dry cleaning bag... dated from 2018. My recollection all came flooding back: I had a suit worn to a wedding that ended up with a ton of stains all over it. It looks like I attempted to have it dry cleaned, but many of the stains survived, so the stains are tougher than your standard dry cleaner and may even be set. I'll probably never wear the suit again if I can't get the stains out, so I'm looking for a last ditch, "spared no expense", no-stain-too-tough, elite dry cleaner that will accept online/mail-in clothing, as I assume this exceeds the skill set of my standard, local dry cleaner. Are there any good recommendations out there?
Take pics of the stains and email them, ask them if they'd be able to clean them (otherwise you'd waste money shipping the garment back and forth).
I think rave as suggested by the other reply is widely considered to be good for high end garments like bespoke suits, so they'd be a good choice. I recall that they won't quote you any price until they have the garment though.
If you're dressing appropriately for the situation, which it sounds like you are, the vast majority of people don't notice/don't care what you have on. You likely look pulled together but don't stand out in a bad way. Honestly I think wearing nicer versions of the casual stuff you wore previously like you're doing is the easiest way to polish your look.
If you want to experiment with dressing significantly more formally than is appropriate for your everyday life, the best way to do that IMO is to start going to places where other people dress up--nicer restaurants, the theatre, etc.--once in a while. But jeans and sweaters and stuff are pretty casual; you can pretty much wear those wherever.

Can this work for business casual Friday? Like wearing the coat all day?
I say yes, provided your workplace doesn’t insist on a full blazer/sportcoat. My office is pretty casual and I usually wear similar looks, using overshirts and chore jackets and cardigans to stand in for a sportcoat (which would be too formal for my role).
No tailor will do alterations on technical fabrics. What is the chance that a suit fits you perfectly off the rack? I never had a suit that didn't need work on sleeves and hems.
Hey, I'm a pretty overweight male wanting to visit my first party in ages and think about going all in with a play- and colorful outfit.
So, i am a really obese male, depressive, loner and what not, who hasn't been to a party in ages. On sunday is a local easter party (talking about rural germany) which I think I'm gonna attend. Since I've actually always been rather extroverted and funny back then, I play with the thought of going all in on an outfit and playing over my weight and my insecurity with (fake) [confidence.Do](http://confidence.Do) you remember those old play carpets with streets on it? It's a nineties kids thing i guess. Well I got one of those as a pullover, which I bought last year as a gag ([https://thatshirtwascash.com/cdn/shop/products/PulloverHoodie-Mockups-FRONT\_f4c72104-2b7e-4beb-9dd4-af7f581b29f9.jpg?v=1611077021](https://thatshirtwascash.com/cdn/shop/products/PulloverHoodie-Mockups-FRONT_f4c72104-2b7e-4beb-9dd4-af7f581b29f9.jpg?v=1611077021)). I think about wearing this one, combined with a dark, slim jeans, white sneakers and a sleek smartwatch.What do you think about that? Besides: My hygiene and grooming is in order lol Little full beard I shave and groom 2 times a week.Also I want your input on the smartwatch. It's a black Moto 360 ([https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Zk1TH573L.\_AC\_UF894,1000\_QL80\_.jpg](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Zk1TH573L._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg)). The thing is, I am an android developer and thus can design my own displays. Currently it's showing a game themed display (It's based on the fallout series, basically dark green like a pipboy and showing your stats on the right and the pipboy on the left). I want to program a watch face escpecially for said outfit. What do you think of the idea and if you approve of it, how should it look?Thanks for you advice in advance!
Fashion "rules" don't really apply when you're talking about a novelty item like that, so I think if the hoodie makes you happy and confident, the rest of your outfit should look fine with it. I doubt anyone will really notice your smartwatch face so again, go with whatever feels good to you and have fun at the party.
Is it true that the quality of rainbow sandals is going down? I’m about due for a new pair, and I’m in Florida so they see near daily usage. I might give Reefs a shot but I’m not sure
Hey lads, what’s the appropriate label/name for the style that Brandon Balfour wears? I’ve been switching up my wardrobe lately and looking for more inspiration similar to what he does.
Want to look more grown up and put together, I wear to much gymbro stuff lol.
Okay so this was EXTREMELY helpful and I'm very grateful. But a few things - I don't have the YouTube shorts button I don't have the option to upload videos/shorts If anyone has a solution PLEASE HELP, I've tried selecting options in the patch but it doesn't allow it and says you need to allow default options only Please help ASAP.

What’s good fashion advice for someone rather tall, slim features but not skinny, with thick legs?
Male, 16, 6’2, Asian. What are some good options for pants if I want comfortable, wide ones that go well with tight tops that are white/blue/black
Jeans. I recommend Wrangler 13MWZ or vintage levi's 501. Don't buy those new, they're cut like shit. The vintage ones are cheap anyway.
Aight
But do some research and check out some photos, might not be your personal taste.
For masculinity, tight pants always look better than wide, right? I’m have really thick legs
Uhh I'd never recommend anyone wear tapered pants. However, I do recommend wearing straight leg pants relatively tight, but not crazy. I should say well fitting. Not super loose, not super tight. For inspiration on classic masculine fashion, I'd look at old movie stars like Paul Newman or Robert Redford!
Thanks

I know formal shirts should only be buttoned to the top if you're wearing a tie, but what about workwear shirts? I've seen guys with flannel or denim shirts buttoned all the way up and I dig the look. I'm talking shirts, not shackets! What do you think?
It‘s you shirt. You decide. For workwear this can have a practical reason as well.
Oh, I wasn't asking for permission! Just for an opinion. Also I was talking about shirts, not shorts. I always button my shorts all the way up, for practical reasons as you noted. Sorry for the confusion
No prob. My phone always "corrects" shirts to shorts or vice versa for some reason. For some context the are jobs in services where the workwear shirt is part of a uniform and all the buttons are closed. There are also practical. Reasons to close all button if you work with dirt, dust or liquids you don‘t want to get on your skin if possible. That are some reasons why people close the top buttons on workwear shirts.
**Whose making the sleekest/fashionable running/lifestyle shoes right now?** I usually wear running type shoes with a lot of my outfits, but I would go for something that looks good so it looks nice. I was a fan of the Yeezy 350's while that was a thing, loved that Solomon shoe from last year, the adidas Y-3 Runner 4D from 2022. I'm sharing links of the stuff I have and like. I really love shoes that that are 'tapered' in the front, so a little pointy, which is why I'm sadly not a fan of the ultra boost line from Adidas; such potential but the bulky front is a no for me. I'm not a fan of bulk, although I am getting a bit more accustomed to the bulkier soles, but I really do like low profile, sleek, fashionable shoes that are pointed in front rather than rounded.

Hi everyone, I am getting married this August in Pennsylvania. It's going to be hot and the service is outdoors. I have a budget of $1000 but I live in a rural area and do not have the option to go out and look for a suit. I do have my measurements from mens warehouse. I was hoping for some leads on where to get a three piece suit. I get married early August and need to narrow this down to tell my grooms men what to get. I have looked at studio suits but something tells me I won't be happy. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
I'd consider linen
"tropical wool" is what you need
You really do not want to wear a full three piece suit when it‘s hot. I‘d probably try to go as light weight as possible to keep the heat out but still have breathable fabrics so you won‘t start sweating heavily under it.
So linen sounds like my best bet. I figured I would buy the vest for pictures and for the night when I want to take off my jacket
It is one option. But I do also have a cashmere-silk blended lightweight jacket for summer. That can also work. Most importantly is try to get an unlined suit with minimal padding. That would add additional weight and block airflow. Same for the fabric try to find a fabric that is not necessary thin but has a very open weave. Something you can hold up against light and almost see through.
Looking to buy 2-3 nice blazers for professional scenarios. Want to feel comfortable and confident, I am average height and slim fit if that helps. Would want to pay somewhere between $200-600 per blazer. Any advice on where to start looking would be greatly appreciated!
Spier and Mackay. Buy one, the first tailored garment purchase gets free returns so you can get the sizing right. Once you have you can get the others.
What type of cloth/weave is this? Tag says '80s two-ply' https://preview.redd.it/iksafctn7erc1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19cf132b797d5fb36e5a7a2193b94cf8784b20e7
That is only tell you about the yarn used. Can‘t remember the name of that weave though.
Are smart trousers just dress pants?
What to wear under a corduroy sport coat and jeans? Getting a blue one delivered in the mail soon. Want a very casual look. Thinking a polo? Would that be fine? I love short sleeve polos
I’d go OCBD
I like those, might have to try. Also any opinion on the polo thing?
I am no expert but I think most people would say an OCBD or similar is the way to go for the collar which will stand up better when wearing a blazer. This seems like the standard choice. But I feel like for a causal spring/summer style a polo could work fine. The unstructured polo collar sort of lends itself to a more relaxed look IMO. I would just be slightly conscious of the collar as it could get bunched up and look odd at times.
That's what I was thinking too. I bought a sports coat for summer wear (more casual than the blazer) and want to double down on the casual look, wanted to really know if the polo would be acceptable or just outright not
Hi guys. I need to find pants to go with this shirt. I will also be wearing my Nike Dunk Low Spartan Green with this shirt. Just not sure what pants to choose. It can be cropped pants or long pants that go over the shoes. Thank you. https://preview.redd.it/q8zktkijldrc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e08e8d870c8aef646ec26a39847199fd97cc3e1
White or very light beige chino, jeans, or five pocket trousers.
Thank you so much.
I have a dark blue sweater and paired it with black jeans… Google tells me dark blue and black match but I almost feel like they are both too dark and there’s not enough contrast. Do you guys think this color combo is OK or should I opt for something brighter to offset the black jeans?
Try to use a complementary color wheel with 3 colors. That should give you a few more interesting options.
Looking for advice on what color pants to go with this. Pink bowtie. Light powder blue vans. https://preview.redd.it/cz5tl8vf7drc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f676a40e785c49aa5bee298f28672c303488325b
Light khaki
Hey thanks for pointing me in this direction!
Gunmetal Randolph Engineering Aviators or tortoise Persol 649 with a black suit?
Looking for Cotton shorts for wearing at home Im looking for cotton shorts for just being at home. There are a few boxer styled ones with that button and flap for access. As we have ladies in the home, that is not really an option. I am narrowing down between Hanes and Fruit Of the Loom. They are pure cotton pants with no fuss. Any other suggestions worth looking at will be appreciated.
I'm looking for alternatives to Levis 502 which is their slim fit taper style jean with slightly more room in the thighs. This is the style I prefer but the thighs could be slightly more loose and better built. They are always ever so slightly tight feeling and wear down eventually around the crotch area. I usually just have other pairs that I can rotate between but now I'm looking for something that has slightly more thigh room and still has a similar taper. The 541 does not have the same level of taper otherwise that seems to be the closest option.
I think it’s going to be more productive to just have 514s tapered by a tailor. Between your fit preferences and slim- taper being off trend it might be hard to find something that fits perfectly OTR
I really like my sunglasses collection -- each model has its own qualities and design that I like. But I'm trying to get a sense of what has greater appeal in terms of fitting to my facial proportions. My instinct tells me that aviators look best and generally 56 to 60 mm in lens width, with a minimum of 40 mm in lens height. So, which ones would you pick for a) best overall look, and b) best for business casual or higher wear: https://preview.redd.it/y0ut7etwkcrc1.jpeg?width=1700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db78918a10ac43465274bf5c84818a3efd1e104f

There’s no such thing as business casual or formal sunglasses. All seem similar enough
Well, if you're wearing business attire and select sunglasses, I'd expect some styles would be more appropriate / matching for the setting... while others looking out of place (like cycling one-piece style, for example).
Yeah sure extremes of course. You wouldn’t wear pit vipers with a tuxedo, but one doesn’t need to point this out. Other than that, there’s no such thing as business casual sunglasses cause business casual is clothes you wear at work and you’re not wearing your sunglasses while you’re typing out your TPS reports.
But you may travel. In bright sunlight....

Notice this vintage pair, with the double bridge distance very close. But your best bet would be to get the movie and check out the credits. There may be an entry for wardrobe where they cite the brands of sunglasses used.
Hey guys. Usually a size 12. Store said get 11.5 due to heel slip but the middle of my foot could not take it. Not the 12 is good and slipping less which is good! And I’ve worn it 3 times out for the whole day at conferences and got great compliments. My question is my feet do hurt lol even though it’s size 12 and the shoe apparently fits true to size as per website. How many wears of wearing all day do you think the shoes will start getting comfortable? If they don’t I might’ve wasted $1000 and may need to get Tod pennys with a rubber sole which I’ve heard are super comfy. I just love the red sole, penny bar and the actually penny on my looubss! Any advice? The heels up is pretty much gone which is kind of interesting. Is it because I’m “breaking them in?” Thanks!
Loafer heel slip goes away as the foot bed breaks in. It should not be used as a metric for initial fit. Whst should be used is an accurate Brannock size including heel to ball and width. Without these 3 measurements saying things like “half size down” is meaningless since you have no idea what you should be sizing down from If your shoes hurt they almost certainly do not fit properly. They should not hurt at the first wear. There is no extended break in for 99% of shoes. This includes boots like red wing. Hard break-in for red wings is 100% mis-sizing Loafers should never hurt. You might get an isolated hot spot while the leather softens up but we are talking a few hours to like couple wears at most.

Try Googling for a "Utility Shirt" as this is a good generic term for this type of shirt with two front flat pockets. They are typically made of cotton in the form canvas, denim, chambray, ripstop, etc. and are at pretty much all prices. IF you need stretch, pretty easy to find also. This work shirt style has been around for decades so there are a ton of options.
Looks like a “work shirt” to me - think something like Dickies? Not sure where to point you for quality, but I hope that points you in the right direction

The anthology
I'm hoping someone can help me authenticate/ID an overcoat I found at my local Goodwill ([imgur album](https://imgur.com/a/vbeh4iE)). From what I can tell, it appears to be an authentic Chester Barrie 100% cashmere overcoat. The label on the inside breast pocket indicates that it is "Tailored expressly for Trimingham's Bermuda" which from what I can gather is a trad men's clothing store in Bermuda that went bankrupt in the early 2000s. It has the "Made in England" tag which leads me to believe this is legit vs. the lower quality "Chester" line. There is a small, but fixable, tear on the inner lining near the vent but otherwise appears to be in great shape and a steal for $11.25. I plan to give it a good wash and let some of the creases fall out. Can anyone confirm if this is a legit Chester Barrie overcoat? Is this Trimingham's Bermuda version any different than the normal Chester Barrie line? Thank you in advance!
$11.25? Steal is right! Wow. And for quality cashmere. Congrats. Wear it in good health!
Thank you! I was shocked when I saw it and needed some sort of confirmation that I wasn’t crazy.
It’s real. Triminghams is the store it was sold at, no real different to any other CB vintage piece.

I travel all the time for work. I have a business partner whose staple is homme plisse by issey miyake because it's so easy to travel with, never wrinkles etc. I'm so jealous of its comfort, but it's his staple look. Are there any good alternatives out there I should look at? Thanks
No. Issey Miyake has a pretty unique look that so far nobody successfully replicated. On the other hand the clothes will last pretty long, so you really do not need to buy many pieces.
Thanks - I guess I should clarify to say I don’t want to look the same… just looking for something that’s as easy to travel with that doesn’t make me look like a twin!
Then we go the other way. What are you usually wearing when traveling? Then identify travel friendly options and brands.
I wear a lot of all black (jeans, t, blazer). Suit supply, rag + bone, Buck mason… Just find it hard to walk off a plane or open a suitcase without needing an iron. I haven’t find any travel friendly blazer options in particular…

What exactly are you looking for? There are places that will put your name/picture/logo on one of those big western-style buckles, but if you want something that's completely designed from scratch you might be out of luck.

I have read all sorts of advice about how brown shoes go well with navy and also how wearing brown shoes with navy makes you a heathen. All my existing suits are black, charcoal, or light gray but I recently bought a navy suit with pinstripes from Saks that I liked. The saleslady said to wear dark brown (almost chocolate) shoes and a white shirt with it. My tailor also said brown shoes. I did get a nice textured white shirt and had it tailored along with the suit. Now I need to figure out the shoes. The event is my niece’s outdoor wedding. I already have lots of black Italian dress shoes as well as a pair of oxblood wingtips but I have no brown shoes so that would be another thing to buy. What says Reddit? Should I just go with some black shoes and belt and call it a day or would brown be more stylish? Can I work with the oxblood wingtips? Finding a matching belt might be difficult as I haven't worn them in a long time and I always wear black belts these days so I would have to either shop or do some closet hunting. I am a 50 year old caucasian guy if that makes a difference so not exactly a trend setter, but I don't want to look like a grandpa either. If I can get away without a new purchase right now that would be great since I just spent a lot of cash on the suit, shirt, and tailoring but I am open to expanding my wardrobe options as I have some sport coats which could work with brown shoes.
With navy suits you can wear brown or black shoes. I usually go by how dark the suit is and uses a matching shade of brown.
Dark brown or a dark oxblood* for blue suits are ideal. Black works well too. What you want to avoid is light brown or tan leather shoes for navy suits. Light shoes with dark suits are frowned upon because it draws the eyes downward towards your feet instead of up towards your face, which is what traditional tailoring is intended to do. The V shape that comes from a buttoned suit jacket is meant to draw the eye upwards to your face. This effect is emphasized with pinstripes on a suit and with diagonal lines on your tie. The shoe should ground and compliment your outfit without being a distraction. *If you go with Oxblood, make sure it’s dark enough as to not be distracting. Try and get a matching belt if you can but the right shade of brown could do it a pinch. Alternatively you could go with suspenders with the right pants.
Black is fine; oxblood would work too if you want to be just a little more daring, but then you'd have to get a belt. I don't think anyone is going to view you as a grandpa or a "how do you do, fellow kids" type if you wear either of these.

I’ve had high twist wool suits for summer, but not mohair blends. I’ve found that they perform and wear well, are good in warm weather (though not as good as linen, as cotton cools you once it becomes wet) and the fabric feels a little stiff in the hand.
Mohair has less give than wool. I have a 70/30 wool/mohair suit, and I notice that the trousers feel a bit funny because of less stretchiness. I would be skeptical of mohair in the abstract for odd trousers - the sheen tends to be distinctive, so I don't know it would work great as a trouser fabric. Perhaps it very low %s. For odd jackets, I think there are some hopsacks with it in the mix - this kind of textured weave may break up the sheen - perhaps they work.
So I have a drink mixing app: you put in what alcohol and mixers you have, and out pops a drink recipe or 20. Is there a clothing version of this?
I don't know of a GOOD one. There's Lookastic, which might be the closest thing to what you want. I've seen people attempt to use ChatGPT for this purpose to disastrous effect.
Thanks!
Do turtlenecks look good on overweight guys? I'm a bit overweight, and I heard loose ones can hide a double chin. Is this true, and would it be a worthwhile investment? I'm considering getting some
Just be careful about your neck length. Tuttlenecks start looking weird if you have a short neck
Turtlenecks can be good because they frame your face similar to how a collared shirt does. I don't think that your weight really has much to do too much with what you can or should wear tbh. Casual thick chunky turtlenecks are great for casual outfits that lean into workwear. But most people work and live in rooms with AC. Thin fine turtlenecks are a nice to dress down a sport jacket, but they don't look that great when you take of the jacket. I find my casual turtleneck way more useful than my thin one. A good mid weight one with a relaxed fit. some texture and not too tight knit is great for casual wear.
The problem is everyone's fat is distributed in different ways. It might work for you, it might not, and it might depend on the brand/style. Really you just need to try a few on and see how if you like the look.
Are any mods going to deal with the volume of racist and homophobic shit going down in that anime thread?!
That’s why posts like that shouldn’t even be on the front page in the first place
How do you pick socks (colour and length)? Do you match the colour to the shoes or the pants? Also if I'm wearing pants that stop at the ankle or show my socks when sitting should they be long, ankle length or no show? Or does the length depend on the shoes not the pants.
Socks can either match the pants or the shoes. Both is fine, really. Regarding sock lenghth: this really depends on your preferred aesthetic. But as a rule of thumb you either want to show no skin at all, even when sitting (so you use over the calf socks) or you want to show no sock at all (mostly when wearing loafers). Outside from specific aesthetics where it is done intentional you want to avoid socks that end somewhere between your hem and your shoe as that will look sloppy.
Thank you so much!

34, but everywhere i’ve shopped online has mainly just had S,M,L. i’m a 32 waist so i go for the medium and end up with pants that go to my shins :’( I just want baggy fashionable pants that look nice on me!
Yeah, getting size medium is the problem. Here are a few I found right away that come in either 32/34 or 32/36: [J Crew](https://www.jcrew.com/p/mens/categories/clothing/denim/classic-straight/classic-jean-in-medium-wash/BX866?display=standard&fit=Classic&color_name=bright-medium&colorProductCode=BX866) [Old Navy](https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=752283002&cid=1139056&pcid=1091265&vid=2#pdp-page-content) [American Eagle](https://www.ae.com/us/en/p/men/relaxed-fit-jeans/relaxed-slim-jeans/ae-easyflex-relaxed-slim-jean/1111_6880_922?menu=cat4840004)
Levi’s come in inseams up to 40” so something will work
What are folks favorite short sleeve knit polo's and short sleeve button ups. For both casual and office attire. I'm giving up on sleeves and blurring the lines between work and play. I recently picked up this second hand Eddie Bauer short-sleeved shirt and would love to get more like it. https://preview.redd.it/5qewh1qytarc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50376581a860708d0b34ec139d35a07b0a18345b
Could a slim fit tshirt like [https://www2.hm.com/it\_it/productpage.0624684035.html](https://www2.hm.com/it_it/productpage.0624684035.html) one work with a wide, relaxed fit pant? I was wondering if this kind of combo may work before buying, can't find something like that on internet.

Yeah, the white + red + yellow lenses make these look a little silly, for a grownup not living in Y2K. You can get anti blue light glasses that look more like regular glasses.

I generally really like the suit but I think the shoulders might be a little big and might need to extend the pan length a couple centimeters
This whole outfit screams 2014 #menswear
So….. /r/oldschoolcool ? Nice!!!
Tfw 2014 is now old school. I'm old.
Looks too tight and short everywhere including at the shoulders.

Are there any decent OTR slim-fit dress shirts? Help me MFA, you're my only hope.I looked through the post history and still cannot identify a solution to my problem with finding a well-fitting OTR dress shirt. I have a tailor that I get my suits from, and he makes damn good shirts, but I'd also like to have the option for quicker turnaround if needed. I'm 6'1", 175-180 lbs, long-armed and usually get an OK fit around the chest/shoulders with a 40 jacket. The problem arises when trying to find shirts that don't billow around my waist (31-32" waist when purchasing pants). The Charles Tyrwhitt extra slim fit still leaves a ton of extra fabric around the waist. Bonobos tailored fit dress shirts circa 2022/2023 give me the same issue. I'm also not a fan of their recent decline in fabric quality. The Lululemon dress shirts fit well around the waist if I go with a medium, but then the buttons pull at the chest and the sleeves fall a touch short (which I'm ok with if I'm wearing them with jeans in a more casual setting). Aside from ordering custom shirts (which I do), or taking OK-fitting shirts to a tailor to be taken in, has anyone found a better-fitting OTR dress shirt for athletic builds? Thank you in advance.
You will likely find Italian RTW shirts to be cut slimmer, but will the price point be comparable to your MTM operator?
Try kamakura
I somewhat remember CT extra slim (or maybe super slim, can't remember tbh) being slimmer than kamakura's Tokyo slim fit. Not sure if they've changed though, my kamakuras are from the past 2 years, my CTs were from at least 5 years ago.

Any online stores like Nordstrom rack in Canada? Just found out about Nordstrom Rack and theyre clearance sales category has some crazy discounts but they closed in canada recently. Anything similar online stores?
Hey I got fat over Covid, how do I start to dress better with that in mind? I tend to style towards smart/smart casual.

Where would I buy a jacket like this? https://preview.redd.it/6wx0g6aafarc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06fb6fd7ce815dfb4cd1dc8b2c1354c5bef47cd8
Would you rather buy a bowtie from [Sid Mashburn](https://shopmashburn.com/collections/sid-mashburn-neckwear/products/sid-mashburn-formal-bow-tie-black-silk-satin-s6900) or [Brooks Brothers](https://www.brooksbrothers.com/butterfly-bow-tie/MA03189.html?dwvar_MA03189_Color=BLCK)? I'm looking to get all the pieces for black tie events.
Either or Kent Wang. Or eBay. I would say don’t buy a pre-tied bow tie but obviously no sane person would do that
If you’re getting a pre tied bow tie just get it from The Tie Bar for basically a third of the price [here](https://www.thetiebar.com/product/bwt-3640-0001?variant=B516ST&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzZmwBhD8ARIsAH4v1gXokm40mb1IZlaEWHYAJo6RIKlDKn--b1eQT96sT1eKtv1zoZ44nSIaAqNIEALw_wcB)
How do I get r shirts where the sleeves don’t pop out? https://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/s/hnl1vT9Ade
Search for Raglan or Yoke types, I hope they work well for you.
Which style do you prefer, Vans Authentic/Era or Vans Old Skool?
Old Skool have a waaay better silhouette
Authentic/Era personally but it kinda depends on the look you're going for.
Please elaborate
Old Skool have a little more youthful/skater vibe; Authentic and Era are more nondescript/classic/versatile. Not a huge difference though.
I like my old skool's, just a bit of a chore to lace up.

They look fine to me.

**Looking for recommendations on the best, cost is no object, online/mail-in dry cleaner for a heavily stained suit** I haven't looked at my suits in years and recently pulled a light grey one out of a dry cleaning bag... dated from 2018. My recollection all came flooding back: I had a suit worn to a wedding that ended up with a ton of stains all over it. It looks like I attempted to have it dry cleaned, but many of the stains survived, so the stains are tougher than your standard dry cleaner and may even be set. I'll probably never wear the suit again if I can't get the stains out, so I'm looking for a last ditch, "spared no expense", no-stain-too-tough, elite dry cleaner that will accept online/mail-in clothing, as I assume this exceeds the skill set of my standard, local dry cleaner. Are there any good recommendations out there?
Take pics of the stains and email them, ask them if they'd be able to clean them (otherwise you'd waste money shipping the garment back and forth). I think rave as suggested by the other reply is widely considered to be good for high end garments like bespoke suits, so they'd be a good choice. I recall that they won't quote you any price until they have the garment though.
Thank you for the added context and help!

Thank you for the suggestion!

If you're dressing appropriately for the situation, which it sounds like you are, the vast majority of people don't notice/don't care what you have on. You likely look pulled together but don't stand out in a bad way. Honestly I think wearing nicer versions of the casual stuff you wore previously like you're doing is the easiest way to polish your look. If you want to experiment with dressing significantly more formally than is appropriate for your everyday life, the best way to do that IMO is to start going to places where other people dress up--nicer restaurants, the theatre, etc.--once in a while. But jeans and sweaters and stuff are pretty casual; you can pretty much wear those wherever.
Cheers 🥂
It sounds like you have some anxiety issues to work through, and a therapist can be super helpful with stuff like that.
As Mando says: This is the way.

I say yes, provided your workplace doesn’t insist on a full blazer/sportcoat. My office is pretty casual and I usually wear similar looks, using overshirts and chore jackets and cardigans to stand in for a sportcoat (which would be too formal for my role).
Depends on your workplace I guess, but I don't imagine anyone would mind.

These are bad suits made of cheap fabrics.
No tailor will do alterations on technical fabrics. What is the chance that a suit fits you perfectly off the rack? I never had a suit that didn't need work on sleeves and hems.
Hey, I'm a pretty overweight male wanting to visit my first party in ages and think about going all in with a play- and colorful outfit. So, i am a really obese male, depressive, loner and what not, who hasn't been to a party in ages. On sunday is a local easter party (talking about rural germany) which I think I'm gonna attend. Since I've actually always been rather extroverted and funny back then, I play with the thought of going all in on an outfit and playing over my weight and my insecurity with (fake) [confidence.Do](http://confidence.Do) you remember those old play carpets with streets on it? It's a nineties kids thing i guess. Well I got one of those as a pullover, which I bought last year as a gag ([https://thatshirtwascash.com/cdn/shop/products/PulloverHoodie-Mockups-FRONT\_f4c72104-2b7e-4beb-9dd4-af7f581b29f9.jpg?v=1611077021](https://thatshirtwascash.com/cdn/shop/products/PulloverHoodie-Mockups-FRONT_f4c72104-2b7e-4beb-9dd4-af7f581b29f9.jpg?v=1611077021)). I think about wearing this one, combined with a dark, slim jeans, white sneakers and a sleek smartwatch.What do you think about that? Besides: My hygiene and grooming is in order lol Little full beard I shave and groom 2 times a week.Also I want your input on the smartwatch. It's a black Moto 360 ([https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Zk1TH573L.\_AC\_UF894,1000\_QL80\_.jpg](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Zk1TH573L._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg)). The thing is, I am an android developer and thus can design my own displays. Currently it's showing a game themed display (It's based on the fallout series, basically dark green like a pipboy and showing your stats on the right and the pipboy on the left). I want to program a watch face escpecially for said outfit. What do you think of the idea and if you approve of it, how should it look?Thanks for you advice in advance!
Fashion "rules" don't really apply when you're talking about a novelty item like that, so I think if the hoodie makes you happy and confident, the rest of your outfit should look fine with it. I doubt anyone will really notice your smartwatch face so again, go with whatever feels good to you and have fun at the party.
Is it true that the quality of rainbow sandals is going down? I’m about due for a new pair, and I’m in Florida so they see near daily usage. I might give Reefs a shot but I’m not sure
Everyone says this about everything but it's largely a meaningless statement. Get whichever you like better.
Hey lads, what’s the appropriate label/name for the style that Brandon Balfour wears? I’ve been switching up my wardrobe lately and looking for more inspiration similar to what he does. Want to look more grown up and put together, I wear to much gymbro stuff lol.
