I was actually looking at some of the women's open cardigans at my work, so you might push me to actually try them out.

do you have any recommendations for good brands? Last time I went on there I was a little overwhelmed and hadn't really heard of anything on there. I'm a little entry-level I guess

depends on your $ budget, but i'm quite fond of mauro grifoni, for instance. good slim fits, tailoring and construction that matches a lot of much pricier labels. not cheap, but definitely a good value. i could list a few more. g750g, golden goose, tonello, brian dales, pringle of scotland, patrizia pepe, etc. depends on what you're looking for, there are, as you mention, a shitload of random stuff on there.

Yeah, was more showing off the jacket. I wear different colors each day, I just happened to take the pic on my black/grey day. Today is purple shirt/khakis.
Hair is bugging me a bit. I get what the stylist told me to do, but I can't get it to look quite right. The paste gives it a bit of a shine too. Any suggestions? Add the paste then just mess it up completely? My bangs are my biggest issue, they like to clump together.
As for jeans, I ordered a pair of the tapered ones. The ones you noted look nice, but I've never been able to wear slim jeans due to my bigger thighs.
They look great on the model, even with room in the thighs, but they never turn out that way. Think the same as the picture, but the thighs looking almost skin tight.
That's actually what she gave me I'm fairly sure. It's one of the Crew pastes.
I'll give what you said a try though. I have a huge forehead, so I need some kind of bangs. That's what always kills me. Hey, I'm not balding yet at least!

If you're unsure o the cost, most of the labels I mention get really inexpensive later on in the year. For example, i got a couple of $295 pringle of Scotland shirts for around $45 this summer, Grifoni dress pants for $70 or so, etc. the stuff I mentioned kind of flies under the radar.

Assuming you mean medium grey... Light blue, lighter grey, dark brown, black in small doses.
Though pretty much everything works, just gotta be careful to made sure it's a bit lighter or darker.

Does anyone know a good place to grab a thin, light overcoat, preferably with a hood? Been fawning over some of the Nicholas K stuff from a while back but never grabbed this one coat that I liked.
Is that Jake from Resident Evil 6?

Not a hard-and-fast rule by any means, and when you've been doing this for so long, it just takes a little time to adjust to the idea that "hey, I don't have to hide my forehead." I did the same thing for like 25 years (giant wrinkly forehead and an inverted widow's peak), but once I realized there were other options, I've rarely gone back. It's all about properly framing your face and working with your features. Let gooooo, maaaan. Feels good.

I also have a huge forehead. Make sure you let your hair completely dry before applying it. I tap it down in the front to cover my forehead some but I don't push it all the way down.
p.s. You don't have as big of a forehead as you think. It might do you well to try to let it breathe a bit. Not trying to tell you what to do just an option to try in the mirror, maybe.
I want a girl who dresses like that. Ahhhhh.

cyclone, in the most general sense, you could try growing out the top while still keeping the sides and back shorter, have the stylist texturize your hair and go with a side part. though i would probably ask the men's hair thread for help on that one.

did you buy the pringle shirts recently? how are they?

Damn awesome looks.
No idea on how to help you out, though.

nicely put together, mop buttons etc. nothing mindblowing tbh. that said, they usually have nice details and such. I have a polished chambray shirt with a navy contrast collar and a blue/white plaid shirt with field jacket-esque utility pockets. sweaters are nice too, but duh, it's pringle.
davidon: i've seen a few on yoox at various prices/sizes. just search for hooded and drill down your search from there

Can you go into what you do? I hate showing off my forehead, it's SO BIG.

yeah, they aren't super long cuts like, say, costume national and so on.
measuring a 'small' dress shirt in my closet gets this:
s2s: 16"
sleeve: 25"
length (bottom of collar seam to hem): 28"
p2p: 17.5-18ish
as you can tell i'm bored and waiting for a phone call at home
heh, maybe they've always been tts just damn slim. oh well.

Not crazy about either of those, man. Though I hate epaulettes and large collars, so that's probably why. You might better off with someone's opinion who's style better matches those jackets.
Hell man, if anything just experiment with some different styles, take a few pictures and post them here. If you're worried about trying something new, here could be a good place to start.
If it would help, I might take some photos of my hair with and without styling so that you can see how much of a difference it makes.
I assume you're applying the paste to dry hair, as you should. Make sure you give it a good rub in both hands prior to applying it. I tend to start applying on the top of my head and work my way down, that way my bangs/front don't get overdone with product. Maybe try the same?

Hair party!
Thanks guys. It's been practically the same (cut short, grow out longer, cut short, repeat) forever and I've rarely ever used anything in it. I'll mess around with it and see what I can do.

will there be a dress code?
Hair only.
Like one of your French girls.
Here's what I do:
Short on the sides and back, medium/longer up top. I have thick wavy hair, and I use American Crew Matte wax. No shine, strong hold.
Put about a quarter size in your fingers, rub it around in your fingers for a bit, then apply it to towel/hair dryer dried hair (a very small amount of moisture in your hair. I don't like applying it to bone dry hair). Run it through your hair down to your scalp. Then sculpt it how you want.
If your hair is thinner/shorter than mine, you'll want to use less than a quarter size amount. Probably a dime size amount. I just have a lot of hair.
You might want American Crew Fiber. It's the round can with the blue label.

Picked up this Ted Baker messenger bag from Selfridges today for £99, will get a pea coat from Uni qlo tomorrow, even though it's really still autumn and good knitwear should be fine until winter.
