Cross-posting from the pics thread. I just brought some new frames home on trial, and I would love to hear what people think. Which ones do you guys think I should choose? Can I even pull off a pair of glasses like these?

This video might help you out. He's got plenty of great videos in all manner of topics pertaining to men's style, and even a few in terms of fitness.
Congrats on the awesome weight loss!
Thanks much will check it out.

I am also getting glasses this week for my first time ever. Had the exam yesterday and ordered some from Warby Parker. Their site is amazing and ships you 5 frames for free to try on. Plus, $95 with lenses and coating once you decide on a pair.

Gonna buy a pair of RetroSuperFuture's from Sak's this week. Are they any good or is it all hype?

They say they are super. SUPER.

Bought some grey chinos at the Banana Republic outlet for $30. Like them a lot.
I knew I was going to wear them with my purple polo today, what I didn't realize is the the pants were a bit tighter than my other khakis I usually wear the shirt with, and that the polo is a bit baggier than I realized. This lead to me scrambling to figure out what to wear this morning.
I grabbed a darker red colored polo I bought at the Gap this weekend that I bought meaning to wear with jeans only, not to work. Does everything look fine here? It's grown on me over the day.
Also, what's the norm on shoe/belt color with grey pants? Depend on the shirt? Always black? What other shirt colors go with grey like this? Dark blue and purple were the two I thought of.

Wear a brown darker than the gray. Or say fuck it all and wear whatever color brown you like if you're feeling bold.

Hmm, so I should be wearing a brown belt/shoes today? Is black ever ok with those grey pants?
Yep. Grey is pretty damn versatile.
Yep, I'm from north Georgia too. It's hard to dress up when it's always 80 degrees outside. It makes layering pretty difficult haha.

Still have yet to order shoes for PAX next week. I just cannot decide on something super comfortable, but also looks good (with jeans/khaki shorts of various colors). BAH.
I like them as long as you don't wear socks with them. Good for spring/summer.

personal opinion on sperrys is sockless and with shorts only.
I'm trying to decide if heading into the city to go to Uniqlo in the next couple days is worth it. How's the length on their shirts? Longer or shorter than the norm? I'm only 5'8" so I need something on the shorter side.

Yeah, anything other than shorts and no socks for Sperrys looks pretty bad.
About Uniqlo- their shirts are pretty normal as far as length goes. Their short sleeve stuff is a bit shorter but dress shirts are pretty standard. Just make sure you keep a look out for slim fitting shirts, which are only distinguished on the tag. Also, Uniqlo sizes seem different than many brands nowadays, where a XS there will equal a S elsewhere.

I have a Uniqlo duffle from last year, but I think I might need to upgrade. This would be perfect to take to Italy in October, assuming the turnaround time is better now that they've reopened for business. TOJ trousers look very nice, too.

Never been a fan myself. I would only wear it in certain situations and with certain outfits that it wouldn't be worth it. You don't wanna be that guy in jeans and Sperry's at like a bar or something.
GAFashion. I turned 37 today. I'm still wearing skinny jeans and v-necks from 3 years ago. Thing is I got this little pot belly that won't go away and little pot bellies look the opposite of sexy in a tight shirt.
I don't want to look my age, but I don't want to hold on to the past either. Where do I start? What online clothing retailers do you trust the most?
Like Armand needed LeStat to bring him into the new world so to do I need you!
I will supply pics if that helps.

My sperrys (which are grey) look great with jeans. The brown/leather ones most likely would not.

Buy the duffle.
I remember discussing the merits of the duffle with you last time. Glad you went and got it since it looks dope.
Getting antsy in looking at winter coats once again (fall/winter is my favorite time of year, though my wallet hates it) and though I'm in need of a new peacoat, I'm considering getting another duffle.

I should start looking for a fall jacket. The two I have now are a North Face (everyone's got one) and a green Army-type jacket that I got for very cheap a few years back that I really like.
Where do you guys look for jackets (that aren't stupid expensive)?

You're not really gonna want to go cheap on outerwear. Harrington-styled jackets are good for fall, as are bombers and cotton duffles.

What is the name of this shoe?
SO, I'm looking for some very comfy walking shoes for PAX. Needless to say, I also want to be able to wear them when I get back. Was hoping sub $100. Any ideas?
These are what I am very close to ordering. They look like they'll go well with jeans, and good with shorts.

Always bet on Barbour. I almost cried when I found a deal on a gorgeous Barbour jacket online last year but they wouldn't ship outside the UK.

Eh, Barbour is for old people imo. Much better investments for your money than that.

Anyone know of any decent looking luggage in a carry-on size?
Maybe something like this one (but hopefully not with a $1000+ price tag).

I find it funny that you guys are already discussing jackets. It won't be cold enough for outerwear in NC until maybe November. I wish I were joking.

If it's below 65 and a overcast night I'll throw on a jacket. But that's just me.

Jackets are sick, you can wear a jacket when its only slightly cool out. I wore a jacket yesterday. And its chilly at night here too. So yeah, jackets.
Buy a nice light weight Fall jacket and you can start wearing it in late September to early October. Probably best worn in the late afternoons and evenings on warmer days, of course. It doesn't need to be frigid to start wearing them. But yeah, I hate when it takes a while to get cold.
I live in GA, for the record.

I love my pair. they are nice, high quality, and chunky, and a good alternative to the Ray Ban silhouette
Couldn't agree more. I am blazered out, though.
Have gone for this: http://www.mrporter.com/product/313058
It says it's "chunky-knit" and "snug", but these things tend to be thinner than I expect.
Like the hat?
