So I need black work shoes but don't have a ton to spend, suggestions? I'd like them to be able to go with chinos and dress pants depending on what I wear. I find some shoes look to dressy for chinos, so I need to find something that can work both ways.

Florsheims look pretty nice and aren't too expensive
Not really digging Viktor and Rolf. That said, the BubBub sale went live earlier and...well...the "add to basket" went a bit nutty...oops

Need some quick yay/nays: formal suit and tie event. Went with black suit, white shirt to be conservative (not sure how others would go.) Blue cardigan over shirt, under suit jacket, for warmth and style. Yes/no?
Illithid Dude

personally, i'd go with a grey suit if you were going to wear a blue cardigan. generally, suits are fairly warm on their own. if the event is going to be outside, perhaps wear a topcoat?

Doesn't sound like a good mix. Since it's a formal event, ditch the cardigan. The colors wouldn't work together anyway.

I need to figure out what I can wear this henley shirt with. 
I mean, it looks okay on its own, but I'm unsure about what can be paired with it without looking too chunky. I assume a pullover sweater would work well but I am thinking about options beyond that. Any suggestions?

shearling and/or denim truckers, plaid/chambray shirts and shirt-jackets, vintage-y looking leather motos and riders. henleys to me say 'classic americana' to some degree, so mine that kind of look for ideas.I need to figure out what I can wear this henley shirt with.

What brand makes good slim-fit chinos?
J.Crew's slim chinos are fantastic, really nice, broken in feel. I also really like the fit of Dockers Alpha Khakis.

Yeah I was debating between a pin-dot tie and the plaid. The outfit went over well, got a lot of compliments on it. Fun party overall.

How would you compare the fit to Levis 511 if you own both?
zeopower6
Member
Thanks for the suggestions, already got a few of those! Will probably buy a bomber at some point and for now will just pair it with a flannel I got recently.
Target tees <3.
The J.Crew chinos have more room in the thigh and a less severe taper than the 511s. The Dockers Alphas are pretty close to 511s based on the one pair of 511 cords I own.
Uniqlo for budget pants.

Really the best way to figure out if two colors work is to look at yourself in the mirror to figure out how it looks. I also visualize a color wheel in my head sometimes to figure out if colors work together. It's something that you'll acquire over time.

I should add that H&M chinos come in one length and it's like 36, so if you're tall or like cuffing a lot, go get them hemmed

My Zara blazer is in and it fits surprisingly well. Only issue is that when I button it, it's too tight in the midsection. Is that something that can be tailored? That's pretty much the only thing that doesn't fit with it, otherwise it looks good. Fits well when not buttoned.
If not I may return and size up. The shipping was very quick.
EDIT: I'm returning it for the next size up.

BR chinos are a fantastic fit for me.
Levis 511s are a little too tight on the thighs for me.

They're two completely different bags. What are you using it for?

I'm partial to the Weekender style but it definitely depends on which type of functionality you prefer. Both are great bags.

Depends which one I get. If I get the backpack then I will use it for school and the other for going to work or casual stuff.

Make sure you get the 484 fit as the urban slim fit arent that slim and fit awkwardly on me.
Blazers are supposed to pinch in a bit in the middle to drape properly and create an x across your torso. You should post a pic.

What kind of slim straight jeans do you guys recommend for a relatively slim guy?
I am 30x30 in most brands and prefer 15-16in leg opening max with no taper. I do not have a big rear so prefer it slim there as well.
It's so tremendously hard for me to find the right fit, it's frustrating. I do not care too much about price.

Slim, but not too skinny, and not caring about price? Try Acne Max Cash.

Or if you want to go really baller, Dior Homme.
EDIT: 15-16 inch hem? Do you mean 15-16cm? I'd say that's more skinny than slim, and if that's the case, I'd point you to Saint Laurent.

Thank you will check all these out.
Yeah, I did mean 15-16 inch leg opening (at the ankle). I also heard APC is good?
Illithid Dude
Member
15-16 inch is a huuuuuge leg opening. I can't even think of a jean that has a hem of over a foot. I've heard good things about APC, but I don't know enough about them to make a recommendation. You might also want to try Naked and Famous, Men's Fashion OT's current favorite denim brand.

Really? Most of my slim jeans are 16in or less. Here is example of APC with 16in:

Are you sure you aren't talking about centimeter, not inches? Baggy jeans have a hem of 19-21cm. 16 inches is like bellbottoms for elephants.

yeah man, here's a Naked and Famous pair with 14" leg opening:

Pretty accurate. Could be good OP material.

Oh, I see what you mean. That's a 17.5 cm hem. I was confused by your wording.
