i thought you had style man

boken you're in sydney right? harrolds at westfield cbd, sub to their email thing and get there early when the 50% sales start

there are other random hip-ish stores in like the hip suburbs eg potts point etc. but everything is way overpriced. i reckon harrolds should cover the brands you should care about anyway!

So long as it fits and can be layered, I don't care.

So long as it fits and can be layered and comes in blue, I don't care.

 

[freenudemacusers]

indigo

 

[Deeku]

oh, pardon me!

 

[Salazar]

I am trying to move towards greens.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Greencast indigo?

Looks good- definitely the best pair you've tried.

Frames look cool to me. They have more life than anything you've shown us in this thread so far.

Of course, if you're not comfortable getting them, then don't. After all, you're the one wearing the glasses, not us.

Thanks. They'd be for sunglasses though. Although I might just get the RayBan ones I want (below) and wear my contacts with them, then next year get prescription sunglasses lenses in them.

The whole glasses situation I have no idea what to do. Didn't find much on Warby Parker that looked good on me, so I may just go with the basic frames I tried on first from them. Apparently finding glasses that look good on me is hard.


On a side note, jeans day at work and I still can't find jeans that fit me right with big thighs. So damn frustrating. I don't want to spend $150 on one pair. Today I feel like I have skinny jeans on with a looser untucked button up and feel like I look more ridiculous than I probably really do. I just wish I could find some jeans with more room in the thighs that aren't huge around the ankle too (no boot cut or anything).

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

150 on a pair is a good investment.

 

[freenudemacusers]

have you considered pajama jeans?

Blackbird is closing, not too surprising

yeah, it's a bummer, but they really lost a coherent buying pattern a long time ago. I couldn't even tell you what they stocked. I stopped by there a month or so ago and it was just ... confusing?

Totokaelo man is nice enough, but they need to put their cp's on sale already

 

[Alucrid]

They don't have an online shop yet do they?

 

[freenudemacusers]

step up your google game bro

http://totokaeloman.com/

they don't have a huge amount of stuff at the moment, but I was talking to a SA and they're growing it slowly.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Those things look damn comfortable. At this point they'd probably fit the best too, jokes aside.

I'm looking for a nice canvas slip on shoe I can wear during in Vegas. Just an everyday type of shoe that I can wear with any outfit.

http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_lin...pf_rd_t=3201&pf_rd_p=1575228262&pf_rd_i=typ01

Just one of the links on Amazon because I can get it before Thursday. Don't mind ordering online but if there are suggestions to go in person to buy at a store, I'm down. Would like to go #TeamNoSocks with them if possible.

Please be gentle if anything I said is a fashion no no. I'm still learning!

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Seavees and Keds are good.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Shit. I live in their neighborhood and I didn't know this. I better stop by and see if they're doing a big clearance sale or something.

 

[haunted_taco]

Seavees and Keds are good.

I'd add vans to that, as safe as that is. I'd go with a simple light neutral color to keep them versatile.

 

[freenudemacusers]

vans, tretorn, seavees, keds, etc

the bottoms will probably melt anyway.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Toms. Also converse makes slip on versions of their shoes.

 

[freenudemacusers]

these are like dress shoe stiff. fit is gud tho

 

[Illithid Dude]

Have fun breaking those in. I had legit blisters on my toes breaking in my last pair of shoes.

 

[freenudemacusers]

hah, I don't think anything will be as bad as my white marc jacobs oxfords. those were ridiculous. worse than my redwings.

 

[coldvein]

alright bitches it has begun. kind of a rough start. i dunno. still got a few days to pull this shitz together. the story so far ----> i went to aldo and bought these shoes. i dont have a smartphone and my pictures are of shit quality.



ive never owned shoes like this before so i feel like a bit of a clown, but whatever, i guess i feel aight about them.

then here is a picture of me at H&M trying on a thing. i actually quite liked the idea of the thing but felt like it was a little big and it was the smallest one they had. should i have bought it? i dunno. my chest is tiny yo.



to sum up, i have purchased a pair of shoes and a white shirt. the adventure will continue. i'll end up looking like a dude who just threw a bunch of random shit together i guess. ahhh well.

 

[giga]

…

Don't buy that jacket. It's definitely way too big. Get yourself measured--you need to know your chest size to buy a jacket. The white shirt looks cheap as well. I can see your t-shirt through it. I would skip H&M and go to JCP (Stafford brand) or Banana Republic if you want to keep costs down.

What event is this you're trying to dress for?

 

[coldvein]

my chest was 34 inches the last time i measured it. i think.

the event is a wedding of a bunch of people that i dont know

 

[freenudemacusers]

squeeze in some lifting and get it to 38" by the end of the week.

 

[coldvein]

maybe i can get some HGH from stylefox

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

If only I had HGH. I'd be in the high life.

So what do you need and what's your budget? The suede shoes seem a bit too casual for a wedding. Unless you're wearing white pants and this is a beach wedding.

Pants?
Tie?
Shoes?
Shirt?
Jacket?
Vest?

Can you afford a suit?

 

[luckyboyceo]

Shoes look fine. Jacket is at least one size too big. Was that a 34? Try fitting a 32. Might be slightly out of your range but the Topman stuff at Nordstrom's (about $175ish) fits insanely small/slim. That might be somewhere to look as well.

 

[freenudemacusers]

true, topman is tiny. I know the nordstrom in westfield had a bunch of them on sale not too long ago. you could probably clean up there if you're willing to make the drive.

 

[luckyboyceo]

Downtown Nordstrom got their Topman stuff in a month or two ago. Probably not on sale but you can at least try it on there.

 

[Boken]

I'm wearing multiple shades of blue today.

I like it. Maybe I should turn into a blue wearing version of macuser

im goin casual bro. i think is going to be mostly hippies. my girlfriend told me i couldnt wear white pants unfortunately - lbceo mentioned the idea and i was enraptured with it. oh well. i'm just thinkin like .. those shoes, some pants that aren't jeans, and a jacket of some kind. maybe even a sweater? i liked the jacket i tried on mostly for the color.

i think that was a 36. i'll hit up nordstromz and look at some topman shit tomorrow. i've committed to spending at least a little bit more money than i'm comfortable with on this business. i really need a new ipod and digital camera, but whatever. not trying to look like a total scrub. and i figure it might be good to have these things in my wardrobe anyway. who knows, i might have to go to another more formal-ish occasion one day.

so i've got some shoes anyway. they're a bit lighter brown than shown in the picture. does that mean i need a brown belt? does it matter what color pants/jacket/sweater i buy? any guidance would be appreciated. i had just planned to be a bitch and have my girlfriend pick out my outfit, she's done this before (i havent), but we're scheduled totally opposite this week and don't really have time to shop together. IM ON MY OWN.

 

[luckyboyceo]

I'm down to help if you want to look for things Friday morning/afternoon.

Anyway, you'll definitely want a brown belt if you're wearing brown shoes. Preferably one in a similar shade of brown. As for the pants, it really depends on the other pieces of your wardrobe. Do you know what color blazer you'll be getting? If it's blue, I'd avoid blue pants for instance. Grey blazer, avoid grey pants (unless you're Mac) etc. Of course, white pants rule all so there's always that option as well.

 

[coldvein]

for realz? i don't work until 4 on friday. dude. we could do it. dont be teasing me, we're friends.

 

[freenudemacusers]

sounds like a hot date

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

sounds like the time of a lifetime. buying clothes with coldvein and lucky.

only thing missing is free mac.

 

[luckyboyceo]

I'm down bro, let's do it.

 

[coldvein]

YES!!!!

Speaking of canvas shoes, what are some shoes that go with shorts (aside from boat shoes)?

 

[giga]

The fit on Express Producer dress pants is fantastic. I've never seen a 32x32 look so good on me before. I tried the Photographer too, but it was a little too tapered near my calves for my liking.

Make sure to get the stretch cotton one. It's like 90% cotton, 10% spandex. That 10% is just enough to keep the shape in place and keep the texture smooth.

Might post a selfie later :3

Canvas if you want to dress down or suede bucks/oxfords if you want to dress it up. I'm partial to the latter.

 

[Boken]

Lbc and coldv gave me an idea. We should make a global company where we help men to navigate online and b&m shopping and help develop their dress sense. Or even create an image for them.

Gotta leverage our global community, dress and online shopping savvy.

 

[freenudemacusers]

I already do this on craigslist

 

[Boken]

That's not reputable

 

[giga]

Mac…just saw that argument over in the ladies fashion thread. Jesus.

 

[Boken]

Didn't know we had a ladies fashion thread
