positive is their polos are fitted and the collars are nice and big to double up and pop, so thats cool. basically the 'in" brand now, but they wont last since they dont have a personality and they use the Old navy lion as their logo

Express has been around since 1980, they have plenty of lasting power even if their clothing stinks and is cheaply made.

what does "double up" mean here?

Given his post history in this thread I imagine he means wearing two shirts on top of each other and popping both collars.

Deadly Cyclone · Jun 19, 2013

Hey, I like Express. Currently wearing their Photographer pants now and they are the best fitting chinos I've found for work. They are actually super comfortable too. Their extra slim fit button ups fit great as well. The combo together of the photographer pants and extra slim button up is by far the best fitting stuff I've found for work and looks great together on me.

Issue is now that I need to find some cash to replace 3 more pairs of pants and 3 shirts with that style from there. Expensive.

Smart-casual just means trousers, shoes and open collar shirt right? Never had to dress 'smart-casual' before.

Express is a huge no if you're short. I tried an XS slim fit shirt once and it was long enough to double as a hospital gown. If I tucked it in, the damn thing would've been bunched up in the legs of my pants.

which one do I wear on the outside?

Lacoste goes on the outside

aes on the inside since they have shorter arms and don't stick out. don't wear Ralph polos since there are a lot of counterfeits out, only button ups. some wear Vineyardvines since its the least counterfeited, but that whale is dumb looking

RL, their collars are stiff, so when you flip them upwards you have a good support for the AE collars which have a better drape. This creates a nice collar juxtaposition and helps move the eye upwards, and has the secondary effect of hiding the hickey you got last night from your parents.

lunchbox you are clearly ignoring the importance of collar arc in your layering

I starch my collars so they are always arched and blooming in an inhale exhale shape. if you have a limp collar, you can always sandwich it between 2 strong ones. the middle one acts like an accent border between the two

Holy fuck this is some next level collar technique right here.

So, my Jonathan Saunders jacket is already coming apart at the seems, and I've worn in literally three times. I've got holes all over the sleeves where the stitching has come undone. I'm fucking pissed! However, I bought it on final sale, and as such, am technically not allowed to return it. Is there anything I can do?

Marcovaldo · Jun 20, 2013

give it to your tailor and see if it can be salvaged?

my am eagle canvas jacket that I bought on Black Friday and wore in my trips over Europe, Middle East and South Asia is still perfect and hanging in my closet, ready for its next continental trip.

think about that before you insult my brand next time

I'm not.

Knit ties are my new favorite clothing item. Literally no one wears them and they look so fucking good. I get compliments every time I wear one.

Yo FashionGAF, recommend me some affordable sunglasses (or a style / brand) that may actually fit my face. Here's my face.

Go.

Someone doesn't know what an MA-1 bomber jacket is.

Anyways, the TOJ one is really, really cool, but I'm not sure if you can get it anymore.

It shames me to think that there was a time, just a few years ago, that I had the same mindset.

I finally took the plunge and got the slim blue oxford from J crew. Literally the best fitting shirt I have ever worn, well worth it.

Broke for the next 6 months though

i often dont wear socks if im wearing shorts. it makes a really different complex odor when you take your shoes off, which i appreciate.
