Unconstructed blazer. The one you posted is odd. (Very small lapels and high buttons.)Do jackets like these have a name?

Alright. Few things. First, I think I found what I want to wear to the wedding in San Diego I'm going to in two weeks. Do these colors go together (from Express)? If so, what color shoes do I need to wear? Will a brown work? With a brown belt?
Second, I went to Target to check out their Mossimo stuff you all recommended and came away with 3 shits and a pair of Menora shorts. Do these shirts go with the shorts? What other colors should I wear with the shorts? (the shorts are a light blue, that shirt on the right is a darker blue, not a gray. The one on the left is a medium blue)
Here's me wearing them (I didn't buy that shirt):
Finally, I ordered the Clark's for shoes. If they don't look good I found the Sperry's I mentioned earlier this week at the shoe store here, and I found some slip on Sperry's I kind of like (below) so I'll decide between those.

Yeah, but it's the closest to what I was looking for, which is basically tiny lapels.
I searched for deconstructed blazers, but it looks like it's just a general term for more casual blazer styles, and doesn't necessarily refer to what I'm looking for. Thanks anyway though, it still narrowed down the search a bit.
I own a lot of Everlane tees but I find that the half inch collar hem gets pretty messed up after a few washes. Really comfortable tees though, XS feels a little big on me. My go to tees are probably Uniqlo premium cotton shirts, the XS is the most perfect fitting shirt I've ever worn (sizing for tees changes a lot, but I find the premium ones best). Also, no pilling. I'll probably pick up a few new colors from that Everlane drop though.

Thanks! Just ordered this jacket in a medium:
I really wanted a blue or red jacket but I was shouted down by my wife and mother. Still, this looks nice.

Brown shoes/belt with the wedding outfit; more specifically, a lighter caramel brown versus a darker chocolate shade.
The tees and shorts are perfectly fine together. I mean, the shorts are light enough that you can literally wear any colors with them. Same for shoes: those grey Sperrys in the back? Fine. White kicks like you were looking at a few days back? Even better. Brown, black, orange, blue, red, green... All fine.
I've mentioned it before, but yeah, you've gotta stop over-thinking and be more confident about putting something on. Most of what you post is very safe, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'll 100% guarantee no one is looking at you on the sidewalk and thinking, "Wow, did he get dressed in the dark?"

New everlane t's coming next week.
I'm so over Everlane. They change the sizing on every new wave they come out with. The cuts now just fit weird on me.
And the only new color there is the purple. Oh, and where are the scoop t's?

So I finally bought a pair of chinos that aren't beige, brown, khaki, they are like a light canary yellow. The only issue now is what to wear with them.
Like would that work, or does it clash?

I'd love to get creative with dress socks... Anyone got websites or tips on socks that stray away from the solid navy, grey, brown, black???

It's not so much a dark navy, it's blue, but not overly dark.

Thanks! Yeah the picture doesn't show the shorts or shirt color at all. Shorts are a very light blue, not off white like they look. Shirts are both blue too. So the shorts are a bit outside the box, some sky blue shorts.
My shoes come in tomorrow so we'll see how they look. If they don't work I'll go with either the tie or the slip on Sperrys.

Happy Socks seems a bit too out there for me... plus I don't like how the brand their name into each pair. Uniqlo is a bit more safe but they are cheap so might look into those. Thanks for that.
Bought another Mussimo Dutti bracelet. Was happy with the last one and I think they look pretty decent especially for summer.
Picked up a new belt too. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

That looks EXACTLY like the kind of bracelet I have been hunting for. Thanks! I will probably swing by Massimo Dutti tomorrow to see what they have.
Guys I spent about 700 dollars on clothes today....for no real reason other than to shop...
Same, I spent ~$700 today. I spent about an hour in Uniqlo trying on all their stuff only to realize that the only things they make that don't completely suck are their T-shirts, so I bought 4. Then I walked into Zara and found the most amazing and well-fitting vest ever. After looking around a bit more I came across an amazing blazer and yellow button-up shirt, so I bought them. I've always said Zara has some of the classiest off-the-rack stuff you can buy, and I was proven right today once again.

No idea, but try a standard blue pair (probably their best fabric since there is so much of it on the market). The cuts look fine, which is all that matters at that price. If it sucks, you're out shipping.

wearing colorful chinos to the club.. good idea?

Have you tried putting on Uniqlo suits/shirts? They fit like shit and their materials suck.
Sure.

That's not part of the #clublife
I volunteer for you to find out, and report back your findings!
I own a few. Tasmian wool trousers are pretty great for the price they're at. Just need a taper to 7.5 and you're good to go. Slim fit OCBDs are good as well. For the $50 and $30 (irrc) price tags they're fine as they are. T000 jeans are fantastic too. Dry packaged shirts are pretty shitty though. I'll echo what someone said about the premium shirts they have, they're good. About the fit, I dunno, maybe you're shaped weirdly.

heads up; ebates is offering 14% cash back at a nordstrom, karmaloop (good place to buy naked & famous), and a couple other manshion type stores. Pretty good deal, beats the 3-6% I usually get.

My Naked and Famous shirt came in. It's certainly a great pattern, but the material feels a little rough, like burlap.
Oh, and for this shirt... #teamuntucked

shame, that would look incredible if the pants were not... that. A little ankle is ok, but that's an non-aesthetically pleasing length.

I think those pants would look better if they weren't part of a suit. Those kinds of pants are pretty fashionable these days and can look good as they have both a casual (showing the ankle) and formal (the material and cut) air about them. Putting them as part of a suit makes them look goofy.

What type of shirt fabric is it? It might soften over time.

Can anyone speak to the quality of Frank & Oak? I've been close to buying some of their items but I hesitate and all the S and Ms are quickly gone.

I try to avoid buying clothes online, since you can't really tell how a certain item will fit/drape until you try it on. The only things I buy online are shoes since it's pretty easy to figure out shoe sizes.

You might ask bob page or Khalifa Jayy directly, iirc they were both owners of some F&O shirts.

Well I was going to get a blazer which I'll likely have to get tailored anyways. I'm just curious on whether it will last longer than a season.
Buying shoes online has been the biggest hit or miss for me. I know I'm a New Balance 11.5, but because of the difference in lasts, toe box shapes and materials, I have to be careful with all other brands. For example, a 11.5D Allen Edmonds Neumok is my most comfortable shoe, but my 11.5D Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenue is a half size too big.

I had to break my rule and get my unbranded denim hemmed cuz it's just insane how long they make those things. I can't imagine being a short guy with those things on.
D-Wade always dresses like a fucking idiot. Most of the <30yo NBA stars do. And yes I know D-Wade is over 30, but my point still stands because he's one of the worst.
