That entire outfit looks great, wish it was cheaper but whatever. What are the shoes?

Alol of my accessories are black 😫
we accessorize based on the color of our soul
You can get away with any slim fit sweatpants to replace the Kitos I was wearing. The Mercer tee and Villain hoodie are irreplaceable in terms of design and fabric though, in my opinion. John Elliot stuff is pretty common on Grailed for fairly cheap too, if you don't mind them being lightly used.
Shoes are the Low Top Splash by Filling Pieces. Only place to get them these days is either on Grailed or eBay.

Yeah I have slim gray sweatpants but that's a shame about the shoes/sweatshirt.

SO the Gustin leather jackets are on sale now. The boring brown and black leather jackets are $500, and the others are around $650.
Hey there FashionGAF. I've decided that 2016 is the year I finally update my wardrobe with newer, higher quality stuff. The only hitch is I don't have a ton of expendable income, so I have to take things one step at a time (meaning no buying full outfits all at once). I figured I'd start from the bottom and work my way up, with new shoes and socks for this month. I picked up a nice pair of Ted Bakers (Torsdi 3s, I think they are?) and some Rockports for more casual wear:
The Rockports are more comfortable, but man, that blue stitching on the Ted Bakers just completely sold them to me. They're also the most expensive shoes I think I've ever purchased ($99.99 on sale). I picked up some inexpensive socks as well. I have zero idea how fashionable these are, but I can tell you already they're a notable improvement over the crappy Hanes I've relied on for years (the white ones that come in a pack of six dozen or whatever).
Next month's focus will be pants and belts. I think I'm going to look for my first pair of chinos.

Loving everything about this shirt except that its seemingly made for women.
Can I wear it if I am a man? If yes, is it enlarged in the breast areas (for the lack of better wording)
If no? Then any recommendation of similar look and style would be appreciated.

Well, the buttons are on the other side. If you don't care about that, go ahead

which other side?
Also what size should I get considering I have a broad shoulder with a height of 185?

I've had a couple from Obey that are very similar to this. Military-style shirts are definitely not hard to find, although I'm mentally drawing a blank on what might be some other brands to look at.
Men's shirts have buttons on the right placket. Women's shirts have buttons on the left placket.
Most mainstream brands should have some variant of military shirts like that, so it shouldn't be terribly hard to find.

Oh no. My favorite pants, which are linen, I noticed a vertical line in the middle of my butt crack. They must've ripped.
The pants were so light weight perfect for Florida heat. I got them clearances at Banana Republic for $20 originally $70.
Any ideas from you guys on nice linen pants?

J crew probably has cotton linen blends. Pure linen is too much for me tbh.

That first jacket looks tight, any idea where I can get a similar jacket in the same color in a much more affordable price?

This thread is dead as fuck. Can we reset outside of the community ghetto?
Fence installation outfit; ever lane pants are nice but the sweatshirts are cut kinda odd/short/loose.

Basically anywhere, it's a pretty standard olive green jacket with a hood.

I've had mixed experiences with Everlane. The cashmere hoodie I have is great, but the tshirts I ordered were like they were for someone 6 foot or taller, even in XS
this is why i love my everlane tees.
i'm short af but i've come to appreciate the drape on everlane tees compared to all my uniqlo supima tees (though they're still the best fitting for me.) i don't think they're very consistent, depending on the color the fit is either looser or tighter. i do really like the neckline trim on their tees though, very slim and somewhat scoopy.

I wish I could get into the drape but I'm not skinny enough for it yet. shame, I have a short torso so it'd probably look pretty good
That shouldn't be an issue imo
Just seems like that's how everyone wears them (I'm not buying them to run in, just want comfortable shoes when I stand around a lot). Don't want to be out of style
while no socks/ankles showing is the ideal way to rock roshes, they are VERY versatile sneakers.
Rocking them with traditional jeans/socks is perfectly fine:

I've been meaning to do this too. Bought Uniqlo tapered jeans but they don't carry my length anymore, and the in-house hemming took the taper out of it.
yes, almost always get my jeans tailored, whether it be length or tapering. it's harder to find a tailor to hem selvedge denim though since most of the time when they do it, they just get rid of the selvedge seam altogether or don't offer chain-stitching.

Since Summer is right around the corner, I thought I'd start looking into updating my Summer wardrobe, starting with tank tops. I have a few, but I'm looking for quite a bit more. Definitely want them to be comfy, but without breaking the bank. Anyone have any good suggestions on brands and whatnot?
Excuse my noobness, esp. when it comes to proper English clothing terminology; hope you guys can help... was watching Trevor Noah's special Lost In Translation and am really liking his blue suit. I have a similar build so I think it would look quite good on me as well.
Also here.
It's blue and has a slight sheen to it. Even just knowing what this exact color would be called (am not a native English speaker, it's not quite navy though right?) would be helpful. Same goes for the fit (of course it's probably tailor made, but otherwise this would qualify as 'slim', right?)
But if anyone knows or can guess the specific brand, that would be awesome.

there's no real technical name for the color other than blue.

Able to find something of similiar style, but not as "out there" in design?
Also maybe not super longline, but just longline?

i feel like we've talked about this before during their outlet sale but it's my favorite fit. the lapels and shoulders are so damn masculine; it always gets the most compliments.

Bonobos had their Lambswool half-zips on sale for $48 so I grabbed a black one.
https://bonobos.com/products/lambswool-half-zip?color=grey&shirt-fit=slim&shirt-size=s
My crazy Bonobos problems with pants probably haven't been detailed here yet. Got a pair from them at the recommendation of someone here. Loved them, they fit well and looked great. A month or so in I was getting into my car and the crotch ripped completely. Bonobos CS was amazing and had me exchange them for a bit looser fit in the thighs, new pair still felt a bit tight, so now I am waiting for their dress pants that come in the new athletic fit to get back in stock to try those.

I'm on an Epaulet kick... kick. Have had the cloud grey trainers for a week and they are exceptional. Ep is having a clearance on their 'Calgary' leather shoes if anyone is interested.

I was going to back the brown Gustin boots, but snagged the last 11.5 in the brown Calgary boot instead.
