Tortoise is what I'd go with. Black is too common.bjscott05 said:Ok fashion GAF. I am thinking about buying some Wayfarers in tortoise but I need to know if it is ok for men to wear them. I like black as well, but I mainly wear brown shoes and I feel tortoise might work better with those.
Any thoughts guys?

Love Aldens. Lookin great!threenote said:Check out the Aldens I bought! They should be here by the end of next week
Also bought some RRLs, Context x Momotaro jeans, APC NS, Persol 0649s and more!!!!
Cosigned. Target has some really good basics, especially their plain t-shirts. I bought a couple to test them out, they're fitted just right and didn't shrink at all in the wash. I'm getting every color when I go back.threenote said:Also, I need to bring this up:
Go to Target and buy some V-Necks, Henleys, and basics. There is no shame in that.
I bought a ton of henleys for $6, marled v-necks for $8. I will never go to JCrew again, they are thieves.

I ran into the same problem, just throw them in the washer using hot water. They'll shrink.Cosmic Bus said:The deterrent with those Target/Merona shirts for me was that they don't seem to exist in XS sizes, plus the cut of the V isn't nearly deep enough for my tastes now. I've been quite happy with the basic $5 H&M tees and they've held up nicely for over a year without visible wear 'n tear. The Topman tees I used to like so much have really gone to shit, quality-wise, though.

macuser1of5 said:Yeah tortoiseshell sunglasses are awesome. I might get a pair of persol's (the steve mcqueen model?) in the near future. Black shades are kind of weak, IMO.
I bought them from someone on StyleForum. They aren't made anymore, sorry.CFMOORE! said:dear jesus i need those Alden's. where'd you find them?
With me, their shirts are a bit long.Cosmic Bus said:Not enough, though. I tried that with a small Merona and it was still quite billowy. To be expected with "lowest common denominator" clothing, I guess.
The only time I go for a pretty loose cut is on tank tops.

It's quite unique for Alden, actually.Enron said:What last were those made on?
Lol, I'm buying so much shit because I'm moving to Paris next week.Enron said:Threenote: STOP. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM. The first step is admitting you need help!
I think they're awesome and I have zero practical interest in Aldens... I think you have enough, but I do understand the gotta have em all mentality Trickers makes some awesome suede boots also, if you are looking for that kind of thing.threenote said:Also,
what do you guys think of these:
They are Aldens. A guy on SF wants to sell them for $350. I'm tempted, but I don't think I need another pair.

They actually aren't suede. It's oiled chamois leather. It's built for the rain which is why I'm interested.macuser1of5 said:I think they're awesome and I have zero practical interest in Aldens...

different boot, actually.Enron said:Hah. I think those are the Aviators that Alden makes for Orvis. I very nearly bought those in December. Those are nice, but they occupy the same space as your Officer Indys.

yeah, you're right. I have a sickness. You guys are a good support group, though.macuser1of5 said:True, I'm just thinking you have a good number of leather (and cordovan iirc?) boots, and suede goes really well with aged denim and the like.
I absolutely hate those soles. haha.Enron said:If you want some aldens for the rain, you should pick up a pair of the 404 kudu Indys. I briefly had a pair before turning 'em loose and those things are no joke. Built like tanks they are with a vibram lug sole.
threenote said:I absolutely hate those soles. haha.
You are 100% correct. I still hate that sole though, lol.Enron said:Yeah, but they will kick the rain and snow that you might encounter in France right in its ass then stomp on its face. We don't get much severe weather like that here in Atlanta, but I might get those again just for the hell of it.
Those. Are. Sex.threenote said:Check out the Aldens I bought! They should be here by the end of next week

I know, I'm dying to wear them with my momotaros.RJNavarrete said:Those. Are. Sex.
Angry Fork said:Kind of have a problem. I want to start dressing nicer and presenting myself better but I just have no clue where to start. I'm honestly not sure what I like because I've never cared about clothes much. I wouldn't know whether what I'm wearing is good or not.
I don't like things that are overly colorful, I don't want to stick out like a sore thumb I just want to look really clean cut and suave (not James Bond suave but presentable). I also hate non-matching stuff. I'd never wear something red + something yellow + something blue all together, things have to be coordinated. This will be mainly for everyday wear but I want it to be better than what I have now (which is just any jeans shorts + random t shirt) and winter time i end up wearing baggy jeans and dark hoodies. Any advice?
