So. Lighter than expected, but they fit and look nice.

 

[freenudemacusers]

xun: if anything, something lighter shoe-wise would be cool, like brandy/whiskey.

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.

hah well my response was kinda dicky (didn't mean it to be so). It might be a necessity in the east due to humidity (just guessing, no idea), but I've never really gained anything from it over here on the w(b)est coast. I have nothing against them, though.

thin wale only

I agree with that! Planning on picking one up soon.

Velvet still rules the top spot.

I need to get myself some velvet duds and velvet loafers

What's your take on this velvet blazer http://www.mrporter.com/product/362818

I usually only go for plain colours with velvet, but this one looks pretty awesome and can work well especially if the other items are dressed down.

I would drape myself in velvet if it was socially acceptable.

why not, really. it's a pretty subtle pattern. even plain velvet isn't exactly a "don't look at me" fabric heh.

 

[MegalonJJ]

That's true heh.

I'm not sure there is much of a social "acceptability" with velvet. Well, at least not here in London. I've only ever received compliments (especially from women), and some guys say stuff like, "I should invest in a velvet blazer, shit looks awesome".

I think it's more to do with how you dress it with the rest of your clothes (and obviously if you feel comfortable wearing it).

Of course it's easy to end up looking like a fool, but keep it simple and it's not a problem.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Oh I don't think it's necessarily socially unacceptable (well in a city environment, I'd be given side eyes here heh), I was just saying that a dark plaid velvet blazer isn't going to catch any attention/heat that a regular ol velvet blazer wouldn't.

I agree with you. Once, a homeless chap at 5am gave me the evils, the only guy who disliked the velvet. My previous post was aimed at Style Fox

That could have been fine calfskin and still been ugly.

because rick owens skirts are expensive

 

[Zekes!]

Close to ordering a pair of mocassin's, just waiting to hear back on some measurements. A little nervous they're not going to fit and it's a final sale...

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Is the fit any good? I need your approval you random internet strangers. It's what I live for.

 

[freenudemacusers]

looks good to me

can't wait for this weekend

gonna be an untucked bonanza up in chez macuser

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Every day is an untucked bonanza when you live on the good side of the fence. #teamtucked can only look over the fence and wonder what could have been...

I'm wearing lavender socks with navy slacks and cognac dress shoes right now. Feels good man.

What are some places to get relaxed fit pants? I have big thighs and none of the normal fit, which are now basically slim, fit me well so I'm looking for relaxed fit. I work for an engineering/manufacturing company so I don't want full on dress pants, something more casual/chino type.

All I really know is mall type places. Gap stuff falls apart pretty quickly in my experience. Banana Rep (obviously part of Gap) only has one style of relaxed pant. I'm not looking for saggy, doesn't fit relaxed; just something that fits me well, looks good, and will last for a while. Thoughts on places to look? I'd prefer a store so I can try them on but I guess will buy online if necessary.

Anyway. Three compliments on the socks in one day from female coworkers. Def throw in some colors to your black/navy/grey mix of socks fellas. I'm gonna try grey pants and pink socks next time.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

That RJ King sure is a dreamy guy.

 

[freenudemacusers]

do leopard print socks count as color?

 

[giga]

I'd wear leopard print if I was wearing black pants.

Solid fit, even if it is on #teamuntucked. Beanie is a good touch.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I love my beanies like nerds love fedoras.

 

[Boken]

I wish beanies were professional

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

They are, when I wear mine people call me sir all the time.

Wow this thread has given me inspiration to clean out my closet and get new clothes....I have no idea where to start!

Could you guys recommend me a good brand for collared shirts I can wear to work. My work is really casual so I can wear short/long sleeve. Looking to pick up about 7 new shirts so price is definetly an issue. Really appreciate it if you guys could send me in the right direction because I am completely lost!

Be less worried about the brand and more worried about the fit. That's the most important thing. Determine your size and find a number of different shirts at your local department store of choice and try them all on until you figure out which one fits you best. The fit is going to determine how well you look more so than any other aspect of your outfit.

I remember Bob Page vouching for the JCP Stafford line in this thread awhile back, although that may have changed. That's about as affordable as you can get and from what he posted, they looked pretty solid. Outside of that, DKNY is pretty solid/affordable, however their shirts tend to be a little on the short end, so depending on your build they may often come untucked.

Regardless, glad you got inspired to get some new clothes! You'll definitely thank yourself for doing so.

Gonna buy gaf hated item, skinny white jeans

I think they are dope but I'd never wear em. You'd be a good fit I think.

Those silver laceups though, I'd rock them in a heartbeat.

 

[Alucrid]

I need waterproof pants

 

[peteykirch]

I need to pick up a new pair of sneakers for Summer.

Can anyone suggest anything reasonable I.E. under $100.

Ideally looking for something white/beige/cream.

 

[Antagon]

I love my Janoskis. Shouldn't be too hard to find in a colorway you like. Maybe this?

 

[Herbert Moon]

Are there any good sites that ship to Canada that carry a wide selection of clothing in medium-tall size? Large shirts are always too billowy and wide, and medium are too short. My small town doesn't seem to carry much clothing at all in medium-tall.

 

[giga]

Some nice summer cotton ties for $19 here: https://www.groopdealz.com/deal/mosaic-fathers-day-deal/3506
