that would look kind of odd with a button up tbh, it doesn't have a lot of shape. have you searched svpply for baseball jackets in the $50-$100 range? there are some good ones with a more 'outerwear' material to them, and very few have the extraneous stuff that tends to go with this kind of garment.

re: the chrome shoes, eh, just get regular chucks in army green or whatever. the tiny rubber toe cap looks kind of odd and the chrome logo just looks kind of weird chillin there.

White jeans, white Ariel Pink t-shirt, burgundy Nike 6.0 sneaks and a new Blue Jays cap.

White in winter rules don't apply when it's this friggin warm in North Carolina.

Kidshion |OT| incoming?

 

[entremet]

Whatever happened to Enron? He used to post here a lot. We shared similar tastes. I'm not as cool as macuser or alucrid. I'm boring--OBCDs, blazers, brogues, ties, dark denim. Blue, white, gray.

children must be set on the path of swag lest aunts and grandmas make them wear overalls and cute bullshit

extended timeout, iirc. not sure why/how long.

make them wear overalls

*hurls*

 

[mickcenary]

I want some shoes, Gaf. Key criteria: something a bit quirky and a LOW profile. I'm currently wearing these and I quite like them:

Any recommendations?

 

[neojubei]

How about this

[Zeppu]

So stylish-gaf, I have a question. I'm kinda dumb when it comes to matching shirts and ties with suits or blazers. Is there like a set of basic rules to follow? Matching ties in general just baffles me unless it's like a black tie or something.

Help?

Yes, there are a lot of fashion feaux pas for suits. This is a good place to start off, and these two articles apply to blazers (which are very different from suit jackets).

I highly suggest you get a good, tailored blazer. You will simply get more use out of it than a black or pinstriped jacket.

As for shirt and tie colors...go to a store like Van Heusen, as they're great at pairing up colors. Generally though, a tie has to have complimentary colors to the base shirt you're wearing (a lighter shade of the shirt's color, or something opposite it on the color wheel). Go look at a picture of the color wheel to see which colors go with what. Here are three articles on tie and shirt coordination.

Navy blazer + white shirt + nice jeans = timeless

 

[Zeppu]

Awesome. So much information. Thanks dude.

Will read up and come back with questions later

 

[Adam J.]

Thinking about picking these up, not sure if comfortable...

I got a free pair of those a couple years ago and they started falling apart within 2 months.

 

[mickcenary]

So, I just bought these, 'cause I'm a douche. I'm still unsure as to whether I can pull them off.

THANKS FOR NOTHING, GAF.

Luff youuuuu.

Cheap Monday.

Also, I hate Diesel. And not because their stuff isn't really my "thang", but purely because they seem to be the most over-priced brand in the cosmos. They also have an "unsavoury ethnic appeal" of sorts; in Australia, anyway. I'm Greek, so I can say this .

That being said, the Diesels do look better.

 

[beelzebozo]

what is this cheap monday comment all about?

 

[mickcenary]

Cheap Monday are a brand. They are my go-to jeans nowadays. They're 90AUD across the board and fit well. I used to buy Nudies for upwards of $200, but I don't look back now. Look into them.

I'll toss in a suggestion for APCs.

 

[Yami]

Ordered up this bag the other day, looking forward to receiving it. Been needing a more grown-up messenger bag, and this £70 leather satchel hits the mark.

 

[mickcenary]

No problemo. Also, as far as I'm aware, they're unisex, so don't lose your shit if you see a girl wearing the exact same pair. Rather, be baller like me and comment on how their posterior looks slightly better in them than yours does.

SUAVE MAHFUGGAH!

 

[Brera]

Just spent £130 on the Hollister winter sale!

Got me 2 tee shirts, 2 Henley tops, an awesome hoody, trackie bottoms and a long sleeve top!

Not bad and their material quality is awesome. They had a great hoodie jacked down from £180 to £31 but I waited too long and they all sold out! Bummer!

Screw the haters!

[freenudemacusers]

I don't really like the toe on purcells, makes your toes blobby. i think the converse-varvatos line has something kind of like that but a little cleaner looking.

 

[Sickboy007]

It would be my first pair of converse, i've always avoided them because with my big feet and skinny frame they look like clown shoes. The purcells toe looks a little more subdued.

 

[bob page]

I've always been a fan of Tretorn since the toe is more subdued. It has the same gel-sole feel as the JV converse, too.

 

[Sickboy007]

I'll look into them! Thanks for the suggestions guys.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Yeah, if you do have larger feet I would skip cons entirely and go with tretorn or something along those lines. The shape of converse tends to look like giant boards at larger sizes.

The thing about Tretorn, though, is that they don't really fit for wide feet. They work great for me since my feet are slim.

I don't think anyone should be paying $200+ for jeans anymore. That time in fashion is done. Levi's has introduced/pushed a bunch of great cuts (513, 514, 521, etc) that cover all the expensive brands looks, at around $80, and at a super high quality. Diesel also over-brands a lot of their jeans and that annoys the crap out of me.

I've got 2 pairs of 513s and a pair of 521s, and i never ever wear any other jeans i own (a pair of 7s, a pair of ernest sewns)

Note: Levi's Made & Crafted line (which came out when they merged their Capital E line into their normal line) aren't even worth the cost, IMO. They are great jeans, but the cuts aren't that much different than reg. levis. I am not going to pay $150 more for finer denim. Sorry.

 

[Yami]

Speaking of low-profile shoes, I love my Vans E-street's in black (Knost)

Green insole made from yoga mat which makes it super comfy even barefoot. Dubbed as a 'surf' shoe; made for lounging around after a day surfing, it's a perfect chilled out shoe that I just love. Plus the super low-profile makes even regular Vans look fat and chunky on the sole.

 

[Zeppu]

Yay or nay gaf?

If you can do white shoes, sure why not. I'm personally not a big fan of that style shoe though. Fred Perry do make some nice canvas shoes in that respect, however.

That sounds kinda racist?

Extra 20% off from Debenhams atm, but this is in the UK. Not sure if J by Jasper Conran is available outside the department store chain.

Try on a pair of nice expensive jeans and you'll see how wrong you are.

I'm inclined to agree with him- at least compared to those that are in the ~$70-100 price range, I don't really see or feel a difference. Cost vs. benefit really isn't there for me.

 

[Zilch]

I'm pretty into those FP chukkas. Keep 'em clean!

You're kidding! I'd try to get them to look as used as possible as quickly as possible. Not like they've been to war or anything, but get rid of that shiny look.

 

[Boken]

The longer you can keep the shoes looking brand new, the more the ladies get impressed!

RE: expensive jeans. I think you can certainly tell the difference. Although Levi's are pretty darn good for their price, the quality of the fabric feels nicer on more expensive jeans and the inking is better too. I am really not a fan of Diesel though.

Have you ever handled samurai, iron heart, pure blue japan, strike golds, etc. jeans? The difference between Levis or diesel jeans is readily apparent.
