Right, it's all subjective, personally just don't dig his look at all

i use straps on my wife, but otherwise i'm unsure...
Any suggestions for a similar boucle overcoat before I do something very stupid? https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens...irgin-wool-blend-boucle-overcoat/735594?ppv=2
Quite lanky so want something a bit oversized without looking too casual. Medium grey at the darkest.

you've come to the wrong place, I support 100% doing stupid things.
Mate, if you go on asos.com, all the models look like him now. Whether, I'm looking at Fred Perry, Nike, Adidas, Tommy H, Calvin K, or Criminal Damage.

It's quite a nice watch but it's far too big for you.I went with this Armani Exchange model instead - the AX1325.
How'd I do GAF?
See how the lugs over hang either side of your wrist? They should lie flat on the front of your wrist.
i hope that's being reciprocated.

You want an oversized coat on your lanky body? That link you posted was anything but oversized but perfectly tailored for that model

You can check Rabbit Hole London for that coat of you are in the UK.
It's a fitted jacket, but the proportions and features are oversized - it's probably a lot more obvious in person. Being tall/broad, it's easy to make lapels etc look delicate.
Anyway, couldn't pull the trigger and went with a boring Burberry instead.
I was just in their chalk farm store a couple weeks ago - some nice stuff, but a bit too streetwear for me.

I'm tall and thin so I understand what you mean, which Burberry coat did you get? I love their coats, always have them in my rotation

with two exceptions (one white pair of sneakers and dress shoes) all of my shoes are black.
so yes, very out. i'm stuck in late 90s/early 00s minimalism.
stay tuned for my confession thread submission.
This one. Was discounted too. Not a fan of the tartan under the collar, and it doesn't have that gorgeous wool blend of the prada, but what can you do

Nice, can't go wrong with that

Uniqlo's women's coats are way more interesting than their men's. Picked up two. Also for whoever wanted a cape they have these which basically function as one

Where do you live and how much are you willing to spend?
Denver, CO and $300-400. I know it's not a crazy amount but I don't see myself wearing it more than a few times a year.

also same question, maybe like $600ish? Not sure how much suits typically go for. SF

Should've went Baby G. I have very thin wrists =/
Suitsupply starts at $399, so you'd have to stretch a budget a bit (if you factor in alterations). Still, it's a good option for the price.
Here's a guide on how a suit should fit: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2013/09/25/good-fitted-suit-visual/
One thing to keep in mind when shopping at suitsupply is that the suits got working cuff buttons. That makes it hard/expensive to alter the sleeve length anything beyond about half an inch to an inch.

I'd budget about $300 for a well made leather pair.
Thoughts on this coat https://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/outerwear/topcoats/PRDOVR~F4523/F4523.jsp , which can be had for $300 for the next 6 hours?
Okay, that's reasonable for something that will last me a few years (right?). Any particular brands/styles you can recommend? Trying to scope some things out for Black Friday.

Depends on the look you want; but wolverine 1000 mile, allen Edmonds, redwing, frye etc are good starting points. Timberland also has a higher end line that's worth a peek.
So what's the adult version of Abercrombie? I was clearing out some old Abercrombie button ups that I haven't worn in years out of my closet, and once thing I noticed is that the quality was so much better than my J Crew shirts. I know they were always bashed as trendy, overpriced shit, but I thought they were worth the price compared to J Crew, which is also overpriced. The stitching was better, and the cotton was way thicker.
Now that you can actually get Abercrombie shirts without a moose logo I might try them out again, though it wouldn't surprise me if the quality has gone down compared to before. Any other suggestions?

It may not be in right now, but Abercrombie stuff is good quality. Just was overhyped and too branded for a while.
Do you want casual, plaid, flannel, formal, or denim shirts?
Plaid more than anything
Superheroes ofc
Get all my shirts except for flannel from tm lewin or Charles tyrwhitt slim fit. Great value and can wear them with anything. I believe I've seen plaid on both before.

thecorner died a couple months ago; still waiting for all of it to show up on yoox tbh
totokaelo got bought out by herschel cuz they couldn't afford their ny rent. don't really feel bad cuz a) per everyone who I know in seattle that's in this field (a dozen or so people) the owner is a egodriven giant asshole, and b) lol trying to step up in NYC and shit on your seattle customers when the old guard retail in the big apple is struggling as it is.
do they still have their wall of CP, cosmic? might have to make a pilgrimage across the states to go back there if so. 🙌

The shoe wall still has a fair number of CPs, quite a few other crazy-price brands as well 💩

Only American stores I know that give good discounts on TNF are macys and gander
Hello fashion gaf!
Still lurking occasionally but I was hoping I could get some advice.
I recently landed a new job where I have to dress business casual everyday. I'll probably do chinos and shirts/sweaters daily. I'm thinking of just getting pretty much everything at Uniqlo, because in this particular job I have the potential of ruining my clothes while out in the field.
Any other suggestions?
