It depends on what you want. If you want something stylized, then youll likely need to find a place that can do that. I think youd look much better by simply having a barber or a friend (or yourself) get a hair clipper, stick a 3/4 to 1 inch attachment on it, and go to town. Now, you wont be considered stylish, but your hair will look fine and 'grown-up' looking, and youll save a shit ton of money too

Oh yeah, this is what I was wearing yesterday
My, "I'ma play Diablo 3 all day" fit.
Jacket indoors? well i hope you went outside so everyone can see how nice you looked.

Just echoing Piecake here, but it depends if you plan to keep it long or not. If you're gonna cut it short, you can keep going to supercuts. If you want to keep it long and style it, you might have to find a nice salon.
Play around with it. Comb or style your hair a few different ways to see if anything looks good. If something works out, tell that to the stylist. If not, just cut it short.

Photos with ipads crack me up.
Failed miserably at finding a spring/summer jacket today

It does seem like the most unwieldy device for self photos
Black suit is pretty much Funerals & Weddings.
Charcoal Suit is much more versatile, just wear it with white shirt and black tie for the funeral
as for where to look, where are you located? in the US you can always go to Nordstrom Rack, J-Crew Factory (Dappered Review)....

Yes!Got some new summer pickups today. Decided to be bold and put some color in the shorts instead of the shirts:
What do you guys think?
Yeah, not sure how it is in the US, but here in the Netherlands every dark suit (black, navy, dark grey) is fine. Hell, wear a suit and you're better dressed then the majority of other attendees.
Also ran into these today:
They're incredibly hot, but sadly there's no way I can combine them with my navy suits. Such a shame.

Found them in a store, they're from Hugo Boss. They were also in grey and brown. Didn't like them as much as this color, but might still check the grey ones out when I get my new suit.
My wallet is crying though
Don't like the graphic tee- the rest looks good though.

Horrible. Just horrible. Well, Durant not so much... but YNB? Lol. Yikes.
Can see why. There are some doodles on it that are a bit much imo. It has a nice fit, no screaming logos and I kinda like the print itself though. Nice, subtle use of color.
Anyway, anyone got some tips for other kinds of shirts that would match well with shorts like that? Black polo shirts will get old after a while.

Tank tops with a lightweight cardigan.
Can this please be the summer that everyone stops wearing boat shoes?

And this is why I respect you, in spite of the exorbitant amounts of money you spend on other things.

They just don't have raw selvage overdyed boat shoes with reverse calf leather accents made in Japan yet.
White v neck. I can pick out any bottom piece I own and a white v neck isn't out of place.

I was wanting to buy a charcoal suit anyway, so that's a good idea.
I'm in North Carolina, the Triangle area. There is a Nordstrom Rack and I've been really close to finding a great suit a couple of times but something is always off (jacket isn't quite right, the pants are too small/tight in the seat and they won't mix and match the jacket and pants, etc). There's an outlet mall about half an hour away with a J Crew Factory, but I just called and they don't have any of that suit in my size. It's pretty cheap online and they do have my "size" (I'm usually a 42R in most brands/styles), but the problem is suit jackets are so hit or miss with me as far as fit, so I really like to try them on first. They do have a 60 day return policy though...I just hate dealing with returns.

They allow me to wear boat shoes at work and I definitely take advantage of that. Ugly as sin, but more comfortable than any tennis shoe I own.

Unfortunately it won't be. At least not where I live.
*Just not on a boat because then his apparel would be far too appropriate for the situation

Depends on the situation.
its a taping, this is the dress code:
Hip, upscale attire is mandatory. Colorful, spring colors are requested. ABSOLUTELY no apparel with logos of any kind on the front or back are allowed in the studio audience. ABSOLUTELY no t-shirts, sweatshirts/hoodies, white tops, shorts, or flip flops! We'd prefer that you don't wear jeans. But, considered if worn with nice top. Please dress hip and upscale as if going to a nice club or restaurant.

How do you feel about this look? You would want to button up the collar more so it's not too casual and they asked for spring colors so the shirt would likely be better as a sunfaded red or light ocean blue. The pants are casual dress, the shirt is button down (tucked in), the shoes are casual dress brown oxfords and the belts match the shoes. The watch is extra but it helps bring it all together.

Thats is pretty funny, "Hip and upscale" lol
Hopefully get these for cheap if the dude takes my ebay offer. Just for riding and to take a beating over my nice swede lace ups.
It's great and not hard to pull off- in fact, I wear something like this most days (except not unbuttoned like that and I'm not as good looking as Gosling).How do you feel about this look?

Awesome style on the right, bad taste on the left.
Strange coincedence Im wearing the same look as the guy on the right, this very moment. Black color instead of gray though.
I usually wear ties in suits... but non-traditional suits also work well. By that, I mean:
Glad I browsed this thread, Im feeling inspired. I should go out with that look more often. Really laid back classy style.
Already got a rockin' calvin klein leather jacket similiar to the one in the first pic, just need to add that dotted tie. Looks nice.
I should get a new vest to.
I'm going to agree with you here. The clay-ish blue and the red paint contrast in a bad way.
Durant? I kinda like it.
Think I might have to plan a trip to nyc to find some of those jeans.
Anyone know if http://global.rakuten.com/us/ is a good site to buy from?

Haha Ive had two or three people say I look like him in Drive but yeaaahh pretty sure I dont.
Yeah they caught my eye when I was browsing. Got £1 (lol) off with make an offer and got them for £29 posted so not too bad. Hopefully they fit as I read a few reviews of people saying downsize by a half or even one whole size.
i'ts legit. can be tough if you can't read/write Japanese though
