Dude those are stylish sweats

 

[luckyboyceo]

sweatpants and running shoes is kinda old man style

Old men didn't have sweatpants cut like the one's Alucrid is wearing in that photo. That's the difference.

Speaking of which, I think I'm going to look into some decent sweatpants. I didn't like the look at first, but the style has grown on me the past few months. If I can find some solid ones in the $100-$160 range I might bite.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I like to wear sweat shorts.

 

[ToyMachine228]

What kind of glasses are these? Or what style are the frames? If I wanted a similar pair, what should I look for or say?

I'm only guessing here but those look a lot like ray-bans, although with slightly more rounded frames than ray-bans usually have.

moscot's or oliver peoples. you need a fairly small head/face to pull them off, though.

hey man, alucrid is a cool dude, no need to burn him like this.

Drew really needs to slow down, I don't have any money.

Where are those sweats from Alucrid?

Uniqlo x Undercover

Old man style is a first.

Yeah face/head shape won't be a problem for me. I'm trying to find the closest affordable thing to those. Or those actual glasses if the price is right.

 

[Dance Inferno]

Alright I went out shopping yesterday and I went a little trouser crazy. I bought a pair of red chinos, yellow chinos, and green shorts. I also bought a navy blue woven tie.

I now need stuff to match with those pants. What do you guys suggest? I'm thinking polos/button-up shirts in neutral colors (white, blue) would be a safe bet, but I'm wondering what other items would match well.

Edit: Also I ordered these last week, they should be arriving this week:

 

[Reneledarker]

I think someone here likes Stephan Schneider, this site is having a pretty good sale:

[freenudemacusers]

yeah, sadly not much in 5. ;(

 

[Fritz]

Flirting with these Frank Wrights

And I bought the retrosuperfuture sunglasses on Saturday

 

[Frustrated_me]

SUPER? Nice pick up, I've been lurking their site to see what I really want

Warby Parker will almost certainly have glasses identical to that style.

I was lucky that a store just around my corner stocked them so I could have a look and try them on. They look REALLY good.

 

[freenudemacusers]

pics of them being worn. not that I doubt you or anything, I just haven't seen any floating around.

 

[Fritz]

Well, they do look and feel like a quality product for instance. Don't know if that's conveyed by my shitty bathroom pics. But here you go.

Also the reflections and the artificial lighting make them look off a bit. I feel like they are less prominent in daylight.

 

[Marcovaldo]

Anyone know how non-arena Balenciaga sneakers fit? Wanna know if I can squeeze into size 8 if I'm 9.5

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Jason Statham likes Super?

 

[Salazar]

Shoes arrived. Worth it.

 

[Horse Detective]

Does GAF like Stacy Adams?

 

[jiffy38]

just copped these Allen Edmonds on sale.

now I just gotta find a more conservative brown pair for the new gig.

Have a pair myself. Compliments are endless.

 

[FatalT]

High end streetwear tees.

That's a hairy muff. High end indeed!

2 days ago. Interesting.

 

[Alucrid]

well now it's banned

 

[Chance Hale]

Incredibly vague request but does anyone here have a particular line of light, thin jackets they might recommend? Live in Texas so the heat is going to start coming in soon but I don't generally like going jacketless. Would like it to go well with as many colors as possible.

Under 300 dollars would be preferable, visited my uncle a few weeks ago who spent 2 grand at Bloomingdales in one trip. My fragile mind was torn apart.

 

[Boken]

This feels like entrapment.

What've we done?

He was so young, so innocent.

 

[freenudemacusers]

sunglasses look very nice. might hop on this bandwagon for the summer.

I'm a 9 in CP, 9 in chuck taylors, 9 in kva, and a 9 in the non-arena balenciagas.

I just got this:

http://www.wrongweather.net/shop/product/calcite-dark-cardigan-jacket

and it is suuuuper lightweight polyester. also grey, so kinda flexible. Aspesi also makes ultra lightweight jackets too, prices and colors are a bit more diverse. Not quite as spendy but they are nice. I think Kraftwerk (sp? sorry :/) got a nice lightweight summer jacket not too long ago, maybe he'll pop in here.

 

[Owed T'Alex]

What, where, do they come in white?

 

[freenudemacusers]

feit direct, and no, I think it's just natural and grey iirc

 

[Owed T'Alex]

"birch" is plenty white, but the natural sole-wraparound thing kills it and suede is for babies and the elderly. You'd think with such sneakery stuff they'd do all-white.

 

[freenudemacusers]

You might like buttero, about the same price, kind of a rough-cut sneaker aesthetic:

 

[Owed T'Alex]

honestly if I had the money I'd cop the feit, they're close to perfection. I like that they recommend wearing barefoot. That is not something I would recommend anyone do with my most current shorts-appropriate shoe, the navy waxed-canvas Van's.

 

[freenudemacusers]

you could probably do that with most fully leather lined sneakers out there, I'd think. I do it with my emma hope sneakers all of the time.

 

[Salazar]

I like that they recommend wearing barefoot.

The leather is gonna have to relax a whole bunch before that happens.

 

[Horse Detective]

I must have bad taste in shoes.

just copped these Allen Edmonds on sale.

What should these be worn with?

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

What should these be worn with?

It's not so much what it can be worn with but when it can be worn. I don't know what he does but I'm in finance and lighter colors like that are just frowned upon. It should only be black or dark brown. If it's not for work then you can wear it whatever but depending on your job it's sort of frowned upon. This becomes less true as you become older though. If you're younger you have less freedom but once you've been there a while/older then you can get away with bolder choices in clothing. Again, I don't know his job but I assume it's something similar as far as clothing goes.

You should have checked lord and taylor too. I don't remember if they had any shoes in dark brown since they are selective in the colors they carry but had 25% off of all of them. Unfortunately it ended today but they were cleaned out pretty much everywhere anyhow when I went on saturday.

[Rookje]

Anyone have any Rogue Territory denim? I tried some on and the fit was not great, but they seem to be popular with all the Tumblr/Instagram menswear crowd.

I looked through some samples in the office today and they're pretty nice. Great detailing but almost too much so. Has this weird contrasting white fly flap that can make it look like your fly is constantly open. With that said, the fit and construction looks great. Seems like a real solid American denim.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Dark purple shirt tomorrow. I know I can wear black pants and shoes with it, but I also have some darker grey pants. If I wear those I assume I go brown belt and shoes? Or black still?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

This may be strange, but I'm wondering if anyone has ever seen these boots:

 

[luckyboyceo]

That green looks photoshopped to me. I'd have to see other pictures.

Probably the best I can do. It's a background crop from an image on Tom Waits website. I thought the coloring looked fake as well. Knowing him, they're probably old. Thanks anyway!

I'm new to buying clothes online, but I want to start! That said, how can you be sure you're getting the right size, especially if you were to buy from an overseas website?

I have my eye on this

but I'm hesitant because of the above.

Well they usually have size charts (Asos does). Otherwise make sure they have a return policy that works for you.

So I need new black work shoes. The pants I always wear are more chinos than dress pants though, would black shiny loafers look good with them? Or would they look slightly odd given that they aren't technically "dress" pants? The shoes I have now are more matte black (still a bit shiny but not very).

Suggestions for black work shoes to wear with non-dress pant chinos and button ups?

size charts, measurements where available, willingness to occasionally eat a loss.

I'd think a natural/dark suede or tumbled leather would be better than black, unless you are stuck on black for a particular reason.

The general rule is your shoes should be darker than your pants. What color are your chinos?
