GAF, recommend me some shoes that I can order? My size is 13, I am brown with dark hair(black).
I will be wearing this coat with jeans. Need sneakers/shoes to use them for everyday use, walk around the city, there will be snow, I live in the east coast.
Though boots will be better for snow, I like sneakers because they are more comfy..

Thanks man, that's kind of you. I do what I can.
First thing that came to mind was a grey wool tie. Something like this or this (I like the first one better, personally). Honestly, if you buy either of those I guarantee you'll get plenty of use out of them, as they go with just about everything. A dark blue pin-dot tie is also a very good option, and may actually be a better option if you're wearing a grey cardigan.
As for traditional vs. skinny, it's all a matter of preference. I prefer skinny ties (as long as they aren't too skinny), but I own plenty of traditionally cut ties that I wear quite often. If you were to wear a blazer then I'd say pick your tie width based on the size of the lapels (larger lapels = traditional tie, skinnier lapels = skinny tie). That may be non-applicable here but might help for the future.

Thanks, man. I think I'm going to go with the first one you linked and a navy pin dot tie. Like you said, I could use the gray one with a bunch of other stuff too. Might as well get both since they're pretty cheap anyway.

You might need a 13.5 these run a bit small.
Engineered Garments have sucked me in, and now I want this. I don't love everything about it, but I like it enough.

There's the pics of this shirt I had previously discussed. Some individuals requested pics, so I'll save you the hassle of actually ordering it yourself. Heres the link again: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NWT-Mens-Co...C_Shirts&var=600064943592&hash=item4609ba79e3

Anymore suggestions before I make a purchase guys? I am kinda in a rush, my current ones have worn out.

Look on zappos for similar shoe profiles (flat thickish sole, slimmer toe box, minimal detailing).
Something like this might be cool too

<3 Hel Looks. One of my favorite sites for yeeears now.
Must suck for Hedi that Balmain SS 2013 is more a reflection of what Dior Homme would be today than Yve-er, Saint Laurent Paris.
I need that sweater ;__;
I'm thinking of getting a pea coat. I have a wool field jacket but I want something a little less bulky and a bit more classy. Uniqlo has one for 80 bucks and I'd like to try one of them. Sadly they are sold out online but I think I can have someone pick me one up from the city.

am i a bad person for wanting a dior scarf with a bee on it?

Yeah, those are what I have now.
Going to look at jeans today. What color to get though. Gray? I have 2 darker blue pairs now. Might go for a straight fit as opposed to tapered too since tapered you can only really wear tighter shirts with since the jeans are tighter. Any suggestions on good casual shirts to wear with jeans? I have a ton of plain color tees now that I like.

Not bad, actually looks better than I was expecting. With that said, whether or not it will stand the test of time remains to be seen, but for the price you paid and where it came from, I'd expect it to break down relatively soon. Though it sounds like you knew what you were getting into when you ordered it, so that shouldn't exactly be of a shock to you.
This is how I plan on dressing my son, just without the giant designer belt buckle.
How much does this differ from the original L'Homme? I have the original but might be in the market for a new cologne sometime soon.
this cologne is amaaaaziinnnnggg
This is a rather weird question but for some reason every pair of jeans I've tried on look and feel weird around the crotch area. I don't know if it's my social anxiety or what the hell, I'm just looking for a pair of jeans that fit me well. I have somewhat skinny legs, so the regular fit jeans look to big on me, but the skinny jeans just feel to weird. I just want a pair of jeans that I can wear with boots.

You're going to have to be more specific, what do you mean by "weird?" Too skinny? Too lose? Not enough room?
My advice would be to start with a brand like Levi's, try on a couple different cuts like their 511s and 513s until you find something you like. From there you'll know more about what sizes fit you best and if you want to get specific, what measurements you're looking for when purchasing jeans in the future. Keep in mind, most jeans will stretch after some wear (some more than others), so even if they feel tight at first they'll probably become much more breathable.
Suit. I've got some nice gucci's already, and it's an evening formal party, so I grabbed a black-on-black striped tie (matte v. slight gloss).

My only suit.
And, one of the few I could find that didn't drown me (I'm tall and skinny).

i think it's just a more prominent "ginger" smell... it's sweeter, but it's also very light... i had the original l'homme like over a year ago now so i don't quite remember the more distinct differences, but i do enjoy gingembre moreso since it smells more fresh and clean.

I've also used this Burberry one before and it's pretty good.
There are so many good options out there you just gotta go to the store and try it out. Sometimes it's best to get a sample and try it for a week because what smells good initially in a store may become obnoxious when you wear it daily.

All this cologne talk makes me sad I never picked up cumming for men. Sounded... Special.
dustytruly

not too sure exactly what you're looking for here, sounds like you don't want skinnies or regular fit? have you tried levi's 511? i have skinny legs as well and 511's are like not TOO skinny and still tapered to look pretty good with boots...
but a pic to help with your explanation would be appreciated

For all you guys talking about skinny legs this is the only way to go. What's amazing is he can get his hand into the pocket somehow.

I know I have already asked this in the page but I am about to make an order with few other items on Puma. I do have a 40% off coupon, so the prices are quite tempting.
Any sneaker recommendations with this coat? I live in the east coast, so yes, there is snow.
http://www.shop.puma.ca/men/shoes/sneakers/23110,en_CA,sc.html
The coupon expires midnight, so I will have to make my order soon. Thanks in advance guys.

Heh, skinny jeans with elastene are a godsend. I can put things in my front packets again!
Shame to cover them up with such large pants.

It's just the angle of the photo. I was actually wearing fitted (although not slim) jeans.

Good info, thanks man. I'll have to check it out next time I'm browsing the cologne section.
Thanks dude. The hair is nothing fancy, just a #2 on the sides with some blending and some product. Thanks for the kind words though.
Also, new page, time for some inspiration pictures:
