Are Uniqlo polos good quality? I've been thinking of getting some for work and college.

Haha I love this response. I had a bunch of people comment and tell me I should have had a skinny tie. I'll be using this lol.

I feel like I should upgrade my socks and underwear, I've neglected that part of my wardrobe
That tie is really long though.
I picked up a couple from happysocks.com
they're actually not bad and go great with certain outfits

Yeah, I didn't pull the length correctly, unfortunately I didn't notice at the time :/
You can tell I never ever wear a tie for anything. First time in 3 years lol.
I am super happy with my purchase and want to thank everyone again. The dope bag for the suit is great as well. I got tons of compliments and everyone wanted to know where it was from.
Now back to my fitted t's, levis and new balances

I'm more in the market for socks that fit below the ankle right now actually
What color would you guys recommend? Brown or tan boots?

I'm pretty fond of my no-show socks from Uniqlo (they have both a thinner loafer sock as well as a slightly thicker) as well as their low-rise trunks. I also wear underwear from AA.

Here's the link for Uniqlo, just click on the 'low-cut' option.
And here's their underwear, I have a couple of their 'seamless low-rise trunks'.

Uniqlo is like five minutes from me so I'll just go by after work and check it out
Anyone?
Brown, but those look cheap and meh honestly.
Really? And the brown over the tan?

If I were you I would hold out and save for a better option.

Clarks is a solid option. Never heard of wish.com but one look on the front page shows a lot of those dubious looking korean jackets that are notorious for being bad in every way.
How are they bad? Genuinely curious here. And for Clarks, would you recommend Wallabees (Wu Stan here lol)?
Bam Bam Baklava

Those jackets look good in the pictures but don't fit well IRL and are so cheaply made it's not even worth it. Clarks are pretty sweet it's just your choice of what you like.
I wasn't really looking at it for the jackets, but more so the dress shirts. They're pretty cheap, and seem to look good.

I'm a fashion novice, but I need to start buying more dress shirts for professional reasons. On that note, anyone here have any recommendations for well fitting dress shirts that are affordable?
And here's another novice question, I shouldn't get suede boots, because the rain will ruin them, right?

Depending on how cheap you're talking the best place for me is uniqlo. Suede can be messed up by getting wet but you could get a suede protector spray which is like a liquid repellant. It's probably easier not to get suede if you're worried about it.
Uniqlo has a sale on oxford slim long sleeve shirts. Would you recommend that?
Bam Bam Baklava
Member
I would recommend the hell out of it. Those shirts are sweet.
One last question (sorryf or all this, but you've been really helpful). Should I go with ligh blue or pink? I've never really owned a pink shirt before, but I was thinking why not?
Bam Bam Baklava

Light blue oxford is a must have for any man. Pink is okay too but I would wait until I got other colors.

Looks like it fits a bit better! Would have thought the difference between L/XL would be bigger but I guess you should go XL with them from now on ~_~
I think I'm going to go for a pink right now. I already ordered a light blue shirt from another store. If the pink fits well, then I'll order a few more colors at the same size, including light blue.

There's a fashion thread on GAF?
my God this place truly is wonderful
Yeah, lol XL is great for both shirts. That's my go to size from Zara now. Weird.
Soul, light blue oxford has probably been my most consistently great wear since I got it.
Also, Bam Bam, you wear any Blazers gear ;]

I have two of their shirts, though I've bought them at full price. I wanted a pair of their boardshorts, but missed out on them.
Bought this one a few weeks ago, something simple:
The other is the black & white heart on the grey t-shirt in this pic:

I had the mid white margielas in my cart and I was about to check out. As soon as I go to pay it says that size sold out.

It all looks the same when you wear pants. Also, some places call those mids some places call them highs.

those mids look fine to me, unlike the repugnant og mids
speaking of shooz, i wonder when ssense will make prices more gooder so i can buy some summer CPs.

how would you guys go about making your own MMM x Converse hi-tops? Any particular paint or method of painting?

not sure if the sidewalls are painted white or just white by default. i would personally paint a white pair eggshell vs bright white. the very slight difference might be cool as it wears.
