not sure if this is really a fashion inquiry, but does anyone know the best place to find nice white shirts (like an undershirt for work)?

I have two answers

a) don't wear undershirts

b) something with modal (less showing of lines) like calvin klein

I've always thought that pairing dark blue and black together was heinous.

Beautiful brown all the way [in this instance].

I agree with this.

If you button up the jacket on a three-piece suit, it's top button only... correct?

Alway, never


3 button suit then two button suit.

I don't think anyone on GAF cares about grooming.

You'd be surprised.

How do you not wear undershirts? Thought it was a must with button ups.

never

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I would never wear a undershirt.

 

[JustHadToJoin]

just wear a v neck if you have to.

Where do you go/ what do you buy to fix leather shoes? Fix as in; I got some that have "lightened" around the toes and the right edge thanks to scuffing..hoping it's possible to darken them back to their original shade.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

I usually wear V-necks as undershirts. Any kind of light polo/button up and I nip out like it's Antarctica.

Those of you who don't wear undershirts must not sweat. No way I'd be caught without one in this warm weather. And I'm not going to put aluminum on my skin.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I really don't sweat that much, and when I do it's 90% face.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I got sweat palms.

 

[sweetvar26]

Picked these up. Love their look.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Yeah whether or not to wear an undershirt really depends on how much/how likely you are to sweat.

A little extra fabric is better than sweating through your dress shirt.

 

[Frustrated_me]

Picked these up. Love their look.

Great purchase, they only get better with time.

 

[Dance Inferno]

I need to start wearing undershirts since I sweat a lot, but I can't bear wearing an extra layer when the weather is so hot.

As far as buttoning jackets/vests, the rule is to always leave the bottom button unbuttoned. Otherwise the jacket/vest will contort weirdly when you move around. Also always unbutton your jacket when sitting down.

Any details on brand and where they're available? Been looking for something similar.

I think brown looks way better with blue than black does. For that reason, I'd go with brown shoes/belt.

A crisp white shirt is a classic look that looks beautiful with blue. Outside of white, try looking into various shades of reds, greens and pinks. Honestly, blue is about as versatile as it gets. Just play around with stuff until you find something you like. That's the whole purpose of fashion .

To note, I said navy earlier but they are actually a bit brighter. I think the reason I was having a hard time is that they are a similar color to doctors' scrubs.

Like this color:

I put my dark purple shirt with it and it looked very odd to me same with my light blue shirt. Maybe I just need to get used to it.

You're over-thinking it, man. If dark purple blends into the pants too much, don't wear it. My recommendations still stand, any of the colors (particularly brown) will look great with that color. Hell, those pants, brown shoes, brown belt, crisp white oxford (#tucked of course), two buttons undone, rolled sleeves, DONE.

Sometimes you just need to put things on and walk out the door. See how you feel later in the day. You might hate it. It might be your new favorite outfit. You never know until you try and there's no amount of ManshionGAF advice that can replace that or figure that out for you.

Sometimes I feel like DC doesn't actually like this stuff but just wants to wear nice clothes because society says so. If you can't lose yourself in it then don't force it.

Maybe we all have those feelings.

 

[Boken]

Well I for one like the colour of those pants

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Is this even about the color of the pants anymore? Or is it about something much bigger?

 

[Boken]

Maybe its about the perceptions of societal demands intoxicating our self image causing the self to misinterpret the inner desires to be beautiful. I'd argue that the double layer of interpretation lends itself to exposition of the kind that truly allows us to express ourselves uniquely through extraneous memorabilia leaving a permanent mark of our perception and desires at that particular point in time. So what it really means is that even through the lens of society we can create a uniquely personal and wonderful image.

Maybe its just me.

That sucks. But at least you'll have a damn fine quality leather wallet that will last a long while. And if it doesn't last, it's covered by a 100 year warranty.

Ha, well there is stuff I do and do not like. That's no question. I'm just used to wearing certain colors, so picturing myself in something that is totally different is hard to do. Especially when it comes to chinos and button ups, things that are a bit dressier. There's a lot of colors I've never even played around with, so to my eye it looks out of place on me, even it looks awesome on someone else. It's just a matter of finding what new stuff looks good to me and going with it.

You can tell my biggest issue has always been color matching, so that's where I ask you all for the most help. I do appreciate it too! I have my own style, sometimes I just like help in redefining it.

Step out of your comfort zone and start wearing flashier colors. Ever since I bought a pair of bright red chinos I've never looked back, and now I love tossing on an orange polo or green shorts whenever I can. You just have to take that one step into color and then all of a sudden wearing other colors no longer seems quite as daunting.

That's dangerous giving out advice like a. The oils and bacteria on most guys' skin will damage the fiber in most dress shirts over time.

Yeah, that is what I have heard.

The brand is J.Shoes.

I don't think this is true at all. Unless you don't wash after every wear.

Tempting, but I have a birthday party to go to on that day. Could easily go since I can just take Bart down to the city.

Any recommendations for a dopp kit?

Everlane released this recently: https://www.everlane.com/collections/reverse-denim-mens/products/reverse-denim-dopp-kit

I'd love it in a darker slate color.

 

[Xun]

Yes. Maybe darker shoes?

Is that shirt a little long to be playing for team untucked

This. The shirt length doesn't really bother me.

I usually wear shorter shirts, but I didn't think it mattered that much that night.

I'll take note on the shoes though, although they're nice shoes right?

iso seem a bit high

I know. :'(

 

[reggieandTFE]

My Warby Parker glasses came in. They honestly look pretty similar to the Zegna glasses I needed to replace due to scratches and yet they were only $60 after I get my reimbursement from my vision insurance.

theyre alright. I personally find them a little long and pointy

 

[reggieandTFE]

I don't think this is true at all. Unless you don't wash after every wear.

I did a little Google research and it turns out that it seems to vary be region and country on whether undershirts are appropriate. I guess I wrongfully assumed that guys always wear undershirts under dress shirts to absorb body funk and to undermine the nipple factor. The more you know.
