I dig them as well, but they're going to be expensive even if you can find them. Tenue de Nîmes is a dope store though.

Just call it "Man Clothing For Men"
I was JUST about to get these but I got the turquoise ones.
Hey guys, I was wondering if you could give me an opinion on two outfits (I keep going back and forth due to contrast issues)
Outfit #1 (Pretty dark with little contrast, worried it's too dark overall but I sorta like how it looks. In my room with somewhat dim lighting it's hard to tell the colors apart, but as you can see with the flash it's fairly distinguishable):
Outfit #2 (Way more contrast added with white details in shirt):
Which is better/cooler looking in your opinion? Is there a general rule to matching dark shirts with darker pants?

Best damn sneaker ever. They're my only non-beater pair of sneakers.

What kinda outfit you gonna wear those with?
I'll post some when I wear 'em. They're not that difficult to pair.
Jack Wills is having a final sale on a bunch of stuff. Just picked up this parka and they also have a nice looking puffer down jacket for $59.

I like #1 personally. What kind of watch is that?
Thanks for the feedback. It's a Timex Expedition 40091.
I agree with you. Those shoes are pure comedy.

Gracias.
It comes from my recent KC trip and my first trip to H&M.
See, I thought to, but I also thought it might be one of those shirts that are meant to look wrinkled and worn-in.

Iron it and see what you think (I think it'll look better). If you don't like it ironed, you can always wrinkle it back up.
Also if you wear that tomorrow, hopefully nobody catches you wearing the same outfit two days in a row.

Wasn't someone asking for where to buy drkshdw stuff. They're on there.
I have a question Manshion GAF.
My grandfather is 89 years old and is looking to change his style (mainly because he's interesting in dating after his wife passed away recently) fashion wise.
He wants to look current, but he doesn't want to look like some old guy whose try to hard? If you get the jist of what I'm saying?
At the same he doesn't want to look like some guy who dresses like he's stuck in the 30's. So any tips?

I like 2 better, but either way you might try tucking your shirt in and putting a nice black belt on. It will make you look adult-ier.
I honestly have no idea how to help with this. That said if you live for 89 years I feel like it gives you leeway to do whatever the hell you want.
Naaaah.

That's a really difficult question but I'll take a stab at it.
I think the key here is to make sure he doesn't dress like someone he's not. Stay away from the real modern/slim cut suits. Stick with traditionally cut suits and shirts (Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren, etc). A traditionally cut suit should still fit correctly of course, the largest difference here being that traditional cuts are generally much longer in the jacket length and a bit boxier in the body. Maybe try a double-breasted jacket as well? These were typically reserved for elderly gentlemen before they were made modern.
I think browns usually look good on older men. I'm talking a good deep brown, preferably wool or cashmere, maybe with some faint white chalkstripes? While tweeds are super popular and modern right now, I think when worn by elderly men they tend to make them look more like a university professor than anything else. Plaids can be good though.
Try more pattern mixing. A real easy to mix combination that always turns heads is a plaid shirt with a pindot tie. Start with easy colors like browns and blues and potentially move on from there. It goes without saying but stay away from skinny ties.
Overall, I'd look through Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren catalogs if you can. Those are two quality brands that usually base their products around an older crowd than much of the stuff you'll find out there today and in this thread. Show him some items and see what he says. Hope that helps.

Any idea how Oxford shoes are supposed to fit? I've always been under the impression that the tops should be cinched tight so as not to show any of the under lacings, but I have wide feet and this isn't remotely possible. Also, I've got a good 1.5 inches to the end of the show from where my toe ends, but the sides/heel fit great.

Make sure you mention it's coming from someone who's not even 1/3 of his age.

Old dudes should wear suits in dope unusual colors with plain light shirts and simple lace up plain toe shoes with giant chunky aviators and not give fucks.

Gotta get those layers man.
Damn, he could at least get to 1st base with me.

Second or third seem almost impossible.
Looks very nice, your best yet imo.
I think the shirt looks fine as is, but it's definitely worth ironing for comparisons' sake.
Also, lose the undershirt or go with a v-neck.
Give me some time. Can you wait 50 years? I'll pop it.

In 50 years Rick Owens will be the new Brooks Brothers.
