is it acceptable to wear corduroys in the springtime? or are they primarily a fall/winter fabric.

The palette is drab as fuck man. Talk about boring...

Not digging the tie shirt combo... But outside of that, a wider tie knot, or wider tie in general, would be a good idea. Its kind of smooshed in there... The jacket sleeves are pretty short too, so I don't know where your shirt cuffs are hiding?
Looks ok.
Nitpicks:
- Tie + sweater might be too dressy? Seems a bit "older" to me too
- Suit sleeves kinda short
- Show your shirt sleeves to compensate
- IMO your shoe colour is too dark for your pants, or your pants too light for your shoes
- shirt, tie, sweater combo - a lighter coloured shirt would synergise with the colours of the tie and sweater better

and white is boring. the shirt at least is an interesting color.
the only thing i can say is drab is the underlying sweater color. change that up a bit and then it is better. the more technical things like sleeves being shown are typical and expected criticisms.

White is not boring if you wear it right, my guy.
true. in the context of the outfit he is going for, i think it would further drag it into boring territory. and i don't feel it is an "old person" getup. just because it isn't some trendy young hipster getup doesn't make him some boring old man in a young person's body.
he clearly has a style he's shooting for in that vein. let him rock it without too much critique as "you look old with that getup"
Too many conflicting colors. Get a different color tie, ditch the sweater, and wear a white shirt. Or keep the shirt and don't wear a tie- the opening looks too narrow when buttoned up with that jacket. Those shoes don't work with the pants, either.
Also, are you wearing a short sleeve shirt or something? When wearing a blazer, always make sure there's a bit of cuff showing.

I was thinking of ditching the sweater which would also solve the sleeve issue since the shirt is a bit longer and pokes out 1/4-1/2" when it's not constrained. Also, the shirt is purple and the pants are a very light blue, not sure if that shows up in the photos. I don't really think of the palette as drab, but to each his own.
Think some all white plimsols would work better?
Also, thanks everyone!

Yeah, white shoes would definitely look better with those pants.

Wait so light blue pants, purple shirt, camel sweater, and turquoise/aqua/green tie (cant tell exactly)? Yea thats too much. Def. get a white shirt in there.

Mmm, yeah ditch the sweater if that is keeping the cuffs tucked away, and lighten up the belt and shoes if possible. If by plimsolls you mean something like keds? Nah, the rest of the outfit is too formal for that. Bone or off white suede oxfords are where you want to be, ideally.

I didn't want to get too nit picky but I completely agree. Seems like he's wearing an S when he should be wearing an R (or R and L respectively).

Yeah, it's not a jacket cut short, its a short jacket.

Which is unfortunate because it looks like the rest of it fits him comfortably - chest looks snug not tight, arms don't look like they have too much excess fabric, etc.

Do the opposite of what this fellow says.
Yeah, seriously. I'm going to guess Lunchbox likes to party either at the Jersey Shore or in the SigEp frathouse
Looking good. I'd probably lose the sweater (is it a vest?) to lighten up the outfit.
how do you go to a party looking like that? is it at the library?

Finding a spring/summer jacket is hard..
I think I'll be rocking thin sweaters or plaids at night if I need to look cooler than just a shirt. A jacket is too tough to find.

Kind of feel like I should just buy a thin hoody and call it a day.
Like Its warm enough in the day here for just a t shirt but if I go out and later at night it gets colder im screwed! All I have is a black leather jacket that only goes with jeans not chinos/shorts etc. Varsity jacket might be ok now that I think about it.

Not having much luck finding one I like really. Uniqlo had one but they are sold out :/
Zara has this one actually.
this ones pretty tempting as its not much money either

The sleeve length is fine- the lack of cuff is just making it look shorter than it is. Ideally, the arm hole of the jacket should end an inch or so before the start of your thumb and shouldn't go all the way to your wrist.
A little monochrome, honestly.

I saw a similar jacket at Muji's, but they don't have it online.
Here, found it:
Looked like a quality jacket, more so than Zara.
random wayw w/ a head swivel at picture time. yes, I neglected to iron my shirt. yes, it's a friday.
It would look a lot better if your shirt was longer and/or tucked in. I wouldn't wear it out like that with the short being that short. Also, I'd put some socks on. Otherwise, I dig it.
I have time to do waywts now
i think i saw dis on SF
Yeah, that shirt looks kinda small...
He can no sock it if he wants. Though I'm not feeling it with those shoes
Either tuck the shirt in, or don't. The rest looks good. Shirt doesn't look too small. I don't see it pulling anywhere, but it does look rather short; like I can see it being difficult to tuck in because there's little to no tail on the shirt. Maybe the pants are just low?
I'm not feeling the shoes, but I'm a bit more of a brown-shoe-guy so I'll admit they're just plain outside my scope as far as shoes go.

I really like this one. I think I'm going to the city to do some shopping sometime in the next few weeks. Hopefully they opened up that Zara. I'll be there and Uniqlo.
I need to brighten up my summer wardrobe. I have a lot of the basic neutral stuff, color is needed.
edit: Speaking of Zara I like this blazer

Yeah I do like Zara the most out of all the highstreet offerings (Uniqlo is a good hours drive away)

I wear a lot of grey, dark blue, black. some browns thrown in. The Armani is 3 times as much as the Versace belt, but fuck me is it a looker. The Versace is downright cheap (150) but much less elegant. Im undecided at this point. Thoughts?

Guidos wearing Giorgio Armani? oh hell nah. Maybe Armani Exchange though.

Do people not wear socks anymore? FFS. Get longer pants too.

Clearly it's the style the designer is going for, which is why he or she is having the model stand like he's being bullied.

that's probably close to a thousand bucks isnt it? I could buy two LV belts for that price. I know it's Hermes, but still.be hermes man
