I'm not a fan of the colour for a very sunny summers day, but that's me.

What about in this pic? Looks like that pic had some funky lighting or something:

Since it's gray, I prolly wouldn't wear it in summer but I wasn't sure if it's off limits for spring, too.

Something like this might work for you.

I'd recommend going with something shorter unless you're a surfer. I like these:

does that model have a baby arm

I asked about swimwear pages ago bu nobody said anything.

Can you guys recommend a good website that has fairly inexpensive shorts?

Something similar to these is what I am looking for.

 

[Enron]

Just picked up this Penny Stock tweed blazer for $60 from myhabit.

Is woolen tweed acceptable to wear in spring/summer?

No. That's strictly fall/winter wear.

 

[Draft]

Man.

It's a real travesty that the suit+shorts look never achieved mainstream acceptance. Would make doing business during the summer a lot less sweaty.

Any one have any favorites for eye glasses?

 

[Boken]

I'm really into nice sophisticated looking tortoise shell eye glasses atm

 

[Tokubetsu]

I need some deals on nice, cotton button downs that look good with the sleaves rolled up and the top button unbottoned.

Those are spring/summer standbys pretty much.

For you, television, I can find your slim fit, flat-front, concealed fly, 7-9" rise (and inseam) or less (the more important part for you I'm assuming?), chinos at ASOS, Nordstroms, Urban Outfitters, Bonobos, Banana Republic, etc. for around $40-$70. Are you looking for something a bit cheaper? (Macy's is having a sell on these Classic Solid Oxford Shorts by Izod going for $23.99. You'd probably have to get them hemmed to suit your taste, but that's not too big of a hassle.)

And for you, Tokubetsu, what you described is a sport shirt (I've also seen it be called a casual shirt). Every online store that sells men's clothing sells them, so it'd be helpful if you could be just a bit more specific about fit, price, and look. And that 3 day sell Macy's has on those shorts is online store wide, so be sure to check that out.

Tuck your t-shirt in, bby.

I actually like it with the shirt like that- adds a bit of contrast.

Where do you guys keep your wallet nowadays?

I usually shove it in the back pocket of my jeans, but now that I'm finding jeans that are starting to fit nicely well, there's a giant bump on my ass.

I just throw mine in my Filson and carry a Zeroz in my back pocket. If I don't have my bag with me, it usually goes in a coat pocket.

 

[LProtag]

I usually don't have my bag with me all the time, but I guess that's a good plan.

It just doesn't work. The first two guys look like they are wearing their boxers. The 3rd guy looks fine though.

 

[kaskade]

Anyone here do the loud sock thing? I've seen it in a few pictures and I like the idea.

 

[Tomodachi]

Cause he's not wearing a jacket. Jacket + shorts = no/hell no.

One area I'm slacking in is nice pants.

Do they tend to run smaller than jeans?

I wear a 33 in jeans, but do you tend to go a size or 2 bigger in dressier pants?

It's tough to say since many clothing brands are 'vanity' sized and even then some brand's vanity sizing differs from others. (Vanity just means that the tagged size isn't the same as the actual waist measurement.)

I tend to size dress trousers down since most brands tend to have leg fits that are like wearing tubes. I also prefer little-to no break.

Here's a good article on how they should fit:

Always been a fan of this OT, first time posting in it though.

What do you guys think of this blazer?

And for whatever reason the shade of blue here on the designers site looks slightly different, a little washed out compared to that of the one shown on House of Fraser.

 

[Roofy]

does anyone else think Jim Moore went a bit off the rails with the shiny suits and hawaiian punch in the spring trend report? I've seen it around but never pulled off well...

last night one of my profs wore a shiny suit. It was silver but looked gold with the lighting

not sure how I feel about it, really. I dont think it was bad

I need to find a good choice for khakis.

I was a huge fan of Dockers' Premium Khaki line, but alas it appears to have been discontinued. They were affordable (usually about $60 or so on sale), comfortable, could easily be dressed up or down, and most importantly - durable. I'd wear them until they started to look worn, which in pants terms, was a really long time.

Anyway, I'm having trouble finding a suitable replacement. I've tried several of the mid tier stuff that you can find at department stores. Nothing seems to work well for me - either the fit or look is just off or they don't last long. Most of my work requires business casual so this is kind of a staple. The closet I've found is a pair at Eddie Bauer, but it's still not quite right.

So, what's a good khaki?

I don't know what he's the professor of at your school, but he's clearly not the professor of fashion.

They're discontinued? I have some slim fit Docket chinos from a few months ago and they're great for dressing up/down:

Thanks for the leads. I don't mind spending $40+ if they are exactly what I want.

Thinking about going in on this Frank & Oak trunk club thing, but their wording/restrictions are so murky. Need some clarification on how their shit works.

Something about it is off, it's both too short and too fussed-on and jumbled with details (patch pocket + slant pockets = confused). I'm not against casual stuff like this but eh that jacket is not a good purchase imo.

Holy shit, i want that!

Thank you, I see what you mean by confused now. I should be able to find something better now.

Not enough no's lol. Seriously though, thanks for your advice, will think more carefully about my choices next time.

Just picked up this baby last week. I love it. I don't know how I went without wearing a nice wristwatch for so long. I feel naked without it.

In it's full sized glory: http://i.imgur.com/SSqO9.jpg

Lush watch, is it the same as this one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00649AD8A/

Is the strap black or grey?

 

[npfpof]

I was going to say this. They look ridiculous. Maybe if they weren't skin and bones and had muscle the styles would work, but even then they might look funky.

No please, just no.
Don't even think in that general direction.

edit: The only acceptable one is to the right in the blue shirt.

Anyone need a suit? I have a suit from my college days that I've worn about 5 times but no longer fits me. It's an Alfani RED in charcoal, 40L on the jacket and 32x32 on the trousers. Looking for $100 shipped.

Yeah I think that's it. It's listed as black, but it's a bit of a lighter shade than solid black.

Here's the official page: http://www.fossilglobal.com/en_GB/s...ht|0&pn=c&cm_vc=331211&rec=5&imagePath=FS4682

They stole my sunglasses. I liked them a lot (Ray Ban, Polarized, loved them.) Either way, I need a new pair with similar frames though I've never ordered sunglasses from the web.


Any recommendations? Any brand recommendations? I loved those Ray Bans, they were great. The sun in Florida is blinding and on my drive to and from work always puts me directly in its wraith.

I really need good sunglasses.
