side note, i have a hard time seeing someone 5'6'' 135 filling out a SMedium tshirt, let alone a Medium jacket.

Is anyone's familiar with Macy's INC brand? I'm curious about their sizing and Macy's website is garbage. I'm 6'2" and a L sometimes and some other times XL...quite annoying.

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

What's the consensus on vests for casual/semi-casual occasions?

Or the consensus on vests in general?

My girlfriend LOVES them but I'm still a little apprehensive, but if I can pull it off and it's deemed "okay" by you gentlemen I'm all for it.

 

[sixteen-bit]

You value what we think over what your girlfriend does? Gosh, I'm honored.

 

[h3ro]

A well fitted vest with a good shirt and dark jeans looks fantastic IMO. It's a great alternative to pulling out a suit jacket. Gives the appearance of being more formal while giving you more freedom and options with different patterns with the shirt/vest combo.

I'm a fan. Two thumbs up.

Haha, something about a knowledgeable male perspective on male clothing is more comforting to me.

I think I'll head to Nordstrom this weekend to try it out. Thanks for the reply.

 

[nick nacc]

Lol I was using a buddies of mine to try to figure out the jacket thing before ordering it.my account FINALLY got activated. It took like 2 months!

 

[Boken]

A vest shows off your torso a lot more compared to a suit. So if you have a nice build, go for it.

 

[Doytch]

Yeah, I really like busting out a waistcoat every now and again, for the exact reason Boken said. Looks damn good. Just stay away from the ones with ugly super-shiny backs.

 

[Horse Detective]

Just tried on the Clarks Beeswax original desert boots at the mall. Damn!

Soon as my size is in stock instaordering

 

[Aegus]

What do you guys think of this jacket for going out in.

Need something light instead of my usual smothering duffle coat

Looks pretty good for Spring man

 

[soultron]

Goddamn the soles of those boots are obnoxious. It pulls my eye away from the rest of the ensemble and is overpowering. Like when a girl wears a gorgeous black dress but pairs it with a pair of neon pink pumps. I just don't get or appreciate obnoxious footwear choices like that. It's a shame too because the boots look nice otherwise.

The coat looks pretty nice, however. What's the price range on an item like that? $150-200?

 

[Lamel]

I am looking for some good dress shirts, I'm a pretty slim yet muscular guy and was wondering would the regular slim fit dress shirts you find at macy's be fine?

My dimensions: 5'10" ~150 lbs.

Furthermore I may need to wear one of these as clubbing attire in NYC, would they work fine with jeans?

Here are some examples of what I am talking about

http://www.calvinklein.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=3142666

Edit: also, opinion on skinny ties?

 

[freenudemacusers]

I'm an inch shorter and about 8 pounds heavier (still slim I swurr), and CK Collection in small/15 fits me pretty nicely. I would assume one of the lower Macy's CK lines would have a similarly slim fit. For clubbing and such, a darker shirt would probably be best, depending on the place, of course. Don't know how these would go with jeans, I only do dress shirts + trousers.

Re ties; unless your lapels are super tiny don't go smaller than 2.75- 3" wide. If you drop one of those 1" wide ties under a normal blazer jacket it will look dumb.

 

[Yami]

going clubbing? ed hardy t-shirt and rosary beads, yeaaa buddy.

Yeah I checked some at macy's. DKNY and CK fit me best, 16/32-33. And they look pretty damn good I would say, even with jeans.

What do you guys think?

 

[Aroo]

What do you guys think of Tumi bags? Been eyeing one for my notebook and work papers and taking it to school on Thursdays (grad school.) Figure it's a good way to treat myself to an early birthday gift.

Looking at the black one. I fantasized about having both the Earl Grey and the Black one depending on what I'm wearing for work that day. Damn, power ball didn't draw my numbers. I saw these bags in person and they're quite gorgeous inside and out.

Here's the link.

Look pretty good, but you would have to be at least somewhat muscular I would say to work them well.

 

[_Isaac]

You wear that, Neo?

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Got this shirt for 15 bucks at J. Crew today, what a deal.

http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/shirts/lightweightwashedshirts/PRDOVR~63491/63491.jsp

Lamb & Flag opened at the mall near me and it's pretty sweet. They had some selvage denim, I don't know how some guys wear those in at the start. They're so damn stiff.

 

[neojubei]

You wear that, Neo?

I wish but i might buy it anyway.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I wouldn't get the white one. The grey pattern on it makes it look a bit like something a Jersey Shore cast member would wear.

£110 so $173.

And yeah the shoes are hideous. Which reminds me that I need new shoes.

 

[mickcenary]

Just discovered Volta shoes. Very awesome. I bought these the other day from freudiankicks.com:

They're part of their seasonal collection, so they were 70 EU off. Sweet dealz.

They have a bunch of them at The Corner at pretty steep discounts.

 

[mickcenary]

Thanks, dude. Do they ship internationally? I'm in Australia, so shoes like Volta are practically non-existent in the retail realm.

Ahhhhh, these guys are owned by Yoox, it would seem. I've bought some shoes from there before; awesome service.

EDIT: Gah. If you select shipping to Australia, the prices jumps from 60USD to 80EU. Sneakysneaky. Still not bad, though.

 

[Herbert Moon]

Could you guys recommend any nice looking shorts? Not swimming shorts, but just summertime relaxing shorts. I'm 6'1 and so far have never been able to find a pair of shorts that look decent on me. They're always too long, too short, or too poofy. All my old pairs of shorts have been ruined at work, so I'm starting fresh here, and need something to wear for our super hot summer.

Great find. Love the minimalist look. Might look into a pair. c:

 

[beelzebozo]

ended up getting some jeans from ASOS. exactly what i was looking for, for about fifty bucks.

Doitbro. Freudiankicks have a couple, including some hi-tops (also very cool) at ridiculous prices. 65EU shipped from Oslo. Yoox also have some.

Staying on shoes:

Folk . Delicious.

I have a disease and I fucking love it.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Shoes > everything else in your closet in terms of importance.

Shoes > everything else in your closet in terms of importance.

No doubt. Though, for me, I think it's more:

1. Buying shoes is a lot more enjoyable.
2. I appreciate the aesthetics of a nice shoe.

Sure, a well-fitted pair of jeans or a well-cut t-shirt are as important, but they're just jeans and t-shirts. There's no panache; no statement.

Those are swell. Hard to decide on colour though. Hurr.

re: wallet talk that happened a few pages back. Bought an acne pouch wallet today and couldn't be happier super small and a nice low profile. link

 

[Doytch]

Speaking of shoes, got those FxDB unlaced cognac brogues from Clad last week. Way more versatile than I thought, at least with my wardrobe. Any blue, any grey, they slay. I'm gonna partially credit them with getting me out of the GF's doghouse, even.

What do you guys think?

I have one similar to this (well it's a hoodie). I only use it to go to the beach or when I'm at home. It's too revealing.

really? ooooh... I might buy it today but in black.

 

[KodoLion]

i.am.in.denial. i just want someone to say:


"yeah i bought it here is a pic of me with it on! Get the medium i am the same size as you bro"


ignore me.





.....but if there is something better and similar definitely enlighten me.

I've purchased a number of Korean shirts. I've found that you have to order 2 sizes up, but they fit fine. As for jackets, I've purchased 2, and one was absolute garbage. The other, was alright, but didn't really fit as well as I had hoped.

Revealing how? Like it's a little transparent or it clings to your body too much?

[Mangotron]

Does anyone have any favorites for button-down shirts? I'm looking for cheap, slim, and able to be worn untucked. Probably in more spring-y colors too if possible.
