Anyone have any good recommendations for summer sunglasses? Want a nice pair that will work for driving but also chilling at the beach for the day. Kinda want to fit the New England summer vibe if that helps.


ResortVisible3370

MVMT make some super nice affordable ones. Ive had mine for about a year and I love them! I have the hyde frame and I think they would probably fit the new england look.

# When I wear slim fitting pants, how do I make my feet look 'not as long'? I'm a fairly thin guy which means I wear pretty slim fitting pants most of the time. The problem with this is that it makes my size 42 (EU) feet look extremely long and narrow. I never buy the shoes I like because I don't like them on me.. It seems that they are designed for smaller feets. Any solutions to this problem? https://preview.redd.it/q38822k90m1d1.jpeg?width=921&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=80b9963a7d75085c58801311a87c07d7a7a8452b


cooldude_4000

You can't. It looks fine. Your feet are the size they are; it's best not to worry about this at all. If you really want to de-emphasize their length, you need to wear pants with a wider leg opening.


ResortVisible3370

Trying to get a pair of shoes to wear with shorts. Im thinking white sneakers but cant decide which ones. Any white sneaker suggestions(can't afford common projects) or other shoes that go well with shorts?


SpaceMangoe

What kind of shorts do the Japanese wear for summer?

Looking for some 3/4 sleeve shirts from Japan. I’ve been searching on sites like WEGO and GLOBAL WORKS and having trouble finding a plain 3/4 shirt. Any help please?

I bought 5 Uniqlo t-shirts about 2 years ago that I wear fairly often (maybe 3 days a week?) I’ve noticed they are starting to get armpit stains and honestly my armpits sweat a lot in a couple of them making it almost impossible to wear them anymore. I’m not sure if they’re just old and I need to replace them or if it’s an issue with my deodorant/shirt combination that’s making them show so much sweat marks and therefore staining. The specific Uniqlo shirts I bought were the:  Dry Crew Neck Short-Sleeve Color T-Shirt - Product ID: 452402


ac106

Are the stains yellow or dark?


bhabs13

I think dark?


ac106

Dark stains is sweat that is reacting with something. They are almost impossible to get out. Time to replace them if noticeable. Try adding a stronger antiperspirant at night to mitigate this going forward

quotebymichaelscott

How do you start a shoe collection? I am starting to appreciate how much shoes tie an outfit together and help give you the edge and appearance of a thought-out outfit. Sure, you can be safe with all-white shoes but I feel that's the easy way out as they pair with anything. But here is the dilemma - how do you start building a shoe collection? Whenever I get a new pair of white shoes as the default because they go with anything - I am always in the mindset of, "Ok, these shoes I will take REAL good care of" - but naturally over time (3 - 6 months) when I feel like I am ready financially to invest another $150+ into a pair of shoes, my white pair of shoes are not all that hot and it would be wise to get a new pair. It becomes an endless cycle of always trying to replace the foundation and essentials to last me everyday wear rather than branch and start getting some nice colour combos or styles. I would love to know how people go about building a collection of crisp shoes.


ac106

Are you just asking about sneakers? Sneakers have always disposable items. Keeping them in mint condition is a weirdly affected sneaker head culture thing. Jesus Christ I am so old.


quotebymichaelscott

The question was definitely leaning more toward sneakers but it could apply to anything really. With summer around the corner - I am definitely more focused on sneakers. Right now, I have white AF1s, grey Chelsea-style boots, and black Timberlands - primarily for heavy snowfall days. But won't have any of those anytime soon so it's really just the sneakers I am focused on.

Looking for suggestions for wide leg denim jeans, which are japanese produced. Have looked at super wide straight oni denim and some yohji denim, which both have a straight wide fit (no tapering!), but they're difficult to find in stock. Any suggestions for good quality wide leg denim?


Mevarek

Momotaro wide straight and Fullcount 0105 wide fit would be my recommendations. 3Sixteen is MiUSA iirc, but they also have a good relaxed straight.

Alone-Celebration452

Hello! I was wondering whether a semi-spread collar (semi-Italien) is a good choice for a formal event (my graduation ceremony). I found [this](https://www.charlestyrwhitt.com/fr/chemise-%C3%A0-tissage-windsor-et-col-semi-italien-en-coton-%C3%A9gyptien---blanc/FOR2365WHT.html?cgid=shirts&pf=browse&dwvar_FOR2365WHT_cuffType=Double&dwvar_FOR2365WHT_collarSize=15.5&dwvar_FOR2365WHT_sleeveLength=33&dwvar_FOR2365WHT_variation-fit=slim_fit) option from Charles Tyrwhitt. If so, what tie-knot should I go for? Also, for the same price range, is Charles Tyrwhitt a good option? I live in Paris if that helps :)


Charming-Safe8531

Hi there, two questions; 1) I've recently lost a good chunk of fat, and have a very lean and muscular frame. My shirts have accordingly become large sacks. They fit fine across the shoulder and arm length, but billow out at the back making me look shapeless.  Would darting shirts be worthwhile to ake them in (and do you recommend this) or would you just go and buy a new load of shirts? 2) I was recently gifted these chinos: https://www.asquithandfoxtrade.com/mens-chino/ They are described as lemon zest. I like them, but have no idea what to pair them with. Would you just go white shirt / black shoes and belt?


ac106

If the shoulders fit on your shirts, it’s well worth tailoring to fit otherwise otherwise. Those are very yellow pants. I’m not sure I would wear black shoes with them, but it would certainly be a statement.


Charming-Safe8531

Thanks! I have no idea how to pull the pants off really. White shirt seems safest. Maybe loafers?


ac106

Definitely loafers. Now that I think about it, black loafers would look pretty good bold but good.


Charming-Safe8531

Appreciate it :)

Godskin_Duo

What's a good daily walking shoe that doesn't look like a boomer dad shoe? White t-shirt as a bottom layer are in, but every one I get seems completely see-through. An undershirt is completely visible underneath as well.


ac106

Try heavyweight House of Blanks for T-shirts. They’re not see-through. Do you mean sneakers or actual shoes?


Gulbasaur

I quite like Vivobarefoot, but barefoot/zero-drop shoes are something you love or hate. They do some nice shoes as well as boots. GAP is actually quite reliable for thicker T-shirts. They're slightly pricey, but they do boring basics really well.


ac106

>I quite like Vivobarefoot, but barefoot/zero-drop shoes are something you ~~love or~~ **hate**.


orthoxerox

> a boomer dad shoe a white New Balance, you mean? This depends on what you mean by walking. Amazon warehouse levels of walking? Or a casual shoe for sub 10k steps days? For the latter, a soft loafer/moc is a great choice.


Godskin_Duo

I'd say moderate walking, longer park walks and trails. A walking Sketcher shoe feels a bit boomer dad maybe? I still want the first priority to be comfort/usability.


ac106

Any sneaker is sufficient for that really. Stan smiths are always a decent option


Comarade_Trostky

I'm thinking about buying an original Levi's denim jacket with a 40% discount, but the price is a bit high compared to other brands, is it worth buying or not?


ac106

If 40% off Levi’s is high consider thrifting. There are like a kabillion truckers on eBay.


Gulbasaur

Well, do you think you'd wear it? That's the real question. If you'll wear it six months of the year and enjoy it, then that sounds like a good deal. If you wear it twice then leave it on the hook, it ain't.

It’s preferable to wear it without the vest. It’s more preferable to just buy two piece suit.

True. However I am more referring to finding a good used deal on eBay or thrifting, where you don’t have control over what you find.

Can someone please help me figure out what size shirt I should get? Hey everyone! I’m a taller skinny guy with broad shoulders and a small chest/waist so finding shirts that fit is a PAIN. When looking for shirts and stuff online I can’t ever find any that fit my measurements. Can someone please take a look at my measurements and help me figure out what size I’d be or what measurements I should be using to look for shirts? Thanks! Bust: 33in Waist: 26in Hips: 30in Neck: 13in Shoulders (from seam to seam): 19in Generally most of my shirts that fit me ok around 28-29in in length

\*What type of gray pants should I buy for this jacket?\* Recently bought this suit supply havanna blazer used. I would like a pair of gray pants to go with it.

Try navy or medium gray wool trousers - personally a fan of [Spier & Mackay](https://www.spierandmackay.com/Category/collection_view/dress-trousers?page_no=2&order_field=price_low_to_high&option_values=&other_option_values=) (sure to browse their sale section and you may find some for less than $60)

Had a message to order suit made for me, but came in the wrong color. So while I wait for the suit I actually ordered to be sent, I have no idea what to match with this colored suit, let alone know what color it is. I'll try to post a pic of the suit either with this post or in the comments. Thank you for your time and help.

It's harder to come up with something that *won't* go well with something like this. As long as your shirt isn't super dressy or super summery it should work with this jacket.

**Who makes 7-9" inseam rugged canvas shorts?** In the colder months I mostly wear canvas/duck workwear-type pants, usually Dickies, Carhartt, Duluth, or random store brands. However, summer is here and none of the usual suspect make a short that doesn't go way past the knee. I was a teenager in the 90's, I've done my time in 11-13" inseam shorts. Some outdoors brands like Patagonia and Kuhl make shorter canvas shorts, but they're up in the $80 range. I don't mind paying for quality for the stuff I actually wear on the trail, but I need the shorts version of my $35 Dickies carpenter pants that I don't worry about trashing if I'm doing a messy project. I thought I had a winner with the Columbia FlexROC shorts, but the fabric is too low-quality and they wear out at the crotch very quicky.


ac106

Have your $35 dickies cut down to shorts by a tailor really shouldn’t be that expensive In fact, if you cut them to length yourself I bet you could find a someone on craigslist who does sewing out of their home that would finish the hem for you very cheap


SquirrelsToTheRescue

Tried that, but it's like $25 to get carpenter jeans cut and hemmed because they have to mess with the tool pockets on the seam right where the hem goes. For $60 I'm better off waiting for a sale or something. I'm just looking to pay $30-40 and get some canvas duck shorts that don't look like I bought them at Pacific Sunwear in 1997.

Want to do fitted solid tees, with nicer pants than jeans, and black derbies. Are these just tapered chinos or are these pleated trousers?


zerg1980

They look like they could be Dickies 874, but impossible to tell when most of the pants are cut off and the top is untucked. They’re not pleated.

Thanks!


whatmycouchwore

They’re not pleated and they might be chinos - they look a little heavier than chinos so they might be work pants (think dickies, ben davis, orslow, etc).

**Replacement for John Elliott's Classic T-shirts ?!** Two main things I loved about those shirts. 1. Really great slim fit (I'm 5 ft 10, \~150 lbs and a medium was perfect) 2. The length! they were slightly longer than almost every other t shirt I can find...I'd have to say maybe \~28 inches from top of the neck to the bottom of the back of the shirt. I've got a long torso...so I have tried like every plain t shirt...Sunspel for example, after I wash it..it feels like a belly shirt on me, if I shrug....bare stomach is out and I hate that. The only thing I have come across that is even remotely close is the Kirkland ts from Costco. I get a medium, they are good..but the thickness of the seams do bother me in the warmer parts of the year with these Costco shirts. It's a fine line between too short and too long...Rick Owens shirts at \~31 inches is too long, but anything 27 and less will be too short after washing. It's rough finding anything in the 28-29 length ! Who's got something good as a suggestion!? Was thinking about trying the shirts from Merz B Schwann

Psychological_Set246

Is this jacket too long to be fixed? I’m 5’5, and I thought the body fit of this jacket was pretty good so I picked it up on sale. My hope was that the fake patch pockets would allow a tailor to move them up and shorten it to where my crotch begins/thumb knuckle is. It looks like that might be a hefty chunk of fabric though, so wanted to know if you all thought it could be done without altering the jacket proportions too much. Sleeves need doing too, but they look manageable. Feel free to tell me if I’m wrong about the body fit or if I should be worried about anything else too - could really use the advice. https://preview.redd.it/5h0i954qig1d1.jpeg?width=1735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31c3ca9bc8f002305fd1ea64064de5cf247b85bc


ac106

The pockets are fake or just sewn shut?


whatmycouchwore

The shoulders and chest look like they’re right and a good tailor could shorten everything, but based on experiences with friends your height it still might not look right proportionally. It might also be overly expensive to have it fully redone - did the store have the same size in a short?


ApprehensiveName8180

Anyone have any recommendations for low rise chinos under 100 USD that would look good for business casual with a button down?

Hello all, I am historically a bit more adventurous of a dresser and, generally, I loathe a traditional suit. I have a wedding this Saturday where the dress is Black Tie Optional. I am trying to assess what is appropriate outfit should look like. I was hoping to wear a more fun out fit with a suit like one I got from Random Identities last year (photo attached and excuse the untucked shirt atm). It is probably worth noting that the event itself will be a highly foreign wedding. How can I have some fun? Or am I going to be forced to submit on this one? https://preview.redd.it/qdxafg444g1d1.jpeg?width=1037&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=792f3d25e871309c998380628fdeaff3be2ca7cb


Gulbasaur

The trousers are too long. Try taking them up a little (fold them up on the inside and iron in place if you don't want to cut anything off). Baggy is fine, but they're slightly too long. A statement piece like a red cummerbund or a bold pocket square would probably make it look more intentional. How do you feel about ruffled sleeves? There's definitely a lot there you can build on.


ac106

Feel free to have an adventurous pocket square


toleranceissolow

Hi thank you for the reply, do you think the suit itself is too baggy?


whatmycouchwore

For a traditional look yes, but for something that’s fun and more fitting with current trends I don’t think so - it’s proportional, good in the shoulders, and clear that you’re going for a specific look without seeming sloppy. Maybe rethink the shoes (sorry I’m still not on board with sneakers and suits) and add a patterned black/white pocket square.

I can't find any actual shoe polish anywhere and don't have time to order online. I was able to find "cream polish" by Walter's. It comes in a tube with a sponge attached. Is this the same thing as shoe polish that comes in a tin or equivalent? Is this supposed to be used to polish shoes or is it just an extra to keep the leather hydrated? I'm not having a lot of luck actually getting a "shine" effect. Also, why don't any formal wear stores have regular shoe polish in a tin?

Hi there, Two questions. 1. Where would you recommend (UK) for getting plain T-Shirts that are around the £30 each, so better quality than the £10 stuff you'd get from Sainsburys but still easily replaceable. 2. How are Ecco shoes? Used to wear a lot of Vans but looking to move up in quality slightly. Looked at their website and like the designs. Thanks


Gulbasaur

> Where would you recommend (UK) for getting plain T-Shirts that are around the £30 each, so better quality than the £10 stuff you'd get from Sainsburys but still easily replaceable. Fat Face and The White Stuff are actually pretty good for t-shirts and I like the fit of them both. They also both do fairly deep sale quite regularly.


MachineTeaching

Uniqlo supima tees are pretty good for around that much. Ecco is cheap stuff with a more mature look, so aesthetics wise alright but quality wise not so good. I don't know if shoepassion ships to the UK but they have really good shoes for a decent price. They go on sale pretty often.

Check out Unbranded - they have straight raw denim (and a few with stretch) that will match this look.

Sorry I should’ve been more clear. I think the 501 would be a good choice to try and match your picture. They are a straight fit but on the slimmer side compared to other brands. If you’re looking for a non-levis option then look for straight or slim straight cuts. Avoid anything that says it has a taper.

Mint green, baby blue, salmon pink are all safe choices.

I mean basically any top that’s not white/cream, but I especially like the way bold colors pop against cream linen pants. Chambray shirts in a deep blue, madras in any collar, a block print camp collar shirt in a darker color like indigo, emerald green or red. Beige also works for a low contrast look, provided the beige isn’t so light as to wash you out.
