Anyone doing anything big with their New Years Eve outfits tonight?

I tried looking for a black blazer for tonight but Nordstrom didn't have any in my size. Regardless, that's going to be my next big purchase once I can find one.

 

[Jeels]

got this coat. relatively cheap, and something I feel I can wear anywhere. thoughts?

Try Ebay? I spent a couple hours yesterday browsing through Asos, River Island and Cult 'til I stumbled into Ebay and ended up spending £58 on 4 different pieces of gear there. (Jacket, Sweatpants, Belt, Beanie)

Thanks, I'll try there!

Picked up a pair of Vans 14oz Maderos with some no shows for Spring, which is like five months away. I dunno. Obviously not my pic.

I have that same pair. They're okay, though the flap thing at the back digs into my heel and makes it bleed. The grey color also dirties easily.

 

[Antagon]

Grenson has a large sale on their official site. Lots of models, large discounts, lots of sizes. Definitely worth a look of you like their style.

Good place to get some casual shirts?

Massively broad question I know but any suggestions will do - just looking for some inspiration away from the usual places.

 

[Kyne]

what's your first impression on these casual boots?

I don't have a lot to spend and I'm looking for something effective.

Sorry Viva - I got no clues. My most recent shirt purchase was a Margaret Howell light blue poplin number, and much as I love it, it was a fool move to spend that money on it.

EG Workwear jacket arrived. Love it. They weren't kidding about it being generously sized, though. A Small is pleasantly loose on me.

Guys, any experience with Peter Werth?

Been thinking about getting this in black.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Evol, I got a hooded bomber jacket by Peter Werth, it started to fall to bits within weeks. I might've just been unlucky, but hey, that's my experience with them.

Yikes I'm not even sure what that is trying to be. Four buttons and that high button stance? Those lapels?

 

[Chance Hale]

Edit: Nevermind, got it covered.

Jesus, thanks. Not buying that then. For something that's originally 160 euro you'd think it'd have nice quality.

I like blazers with small and high lapels

It's a guilty pleasure of mine.

I like em, how much?

 

[freenudemacusers]

Teddy bear coat. Fits quite well over a cord blazer.

edit: please accept my apologies for the child-spit drenched mirror.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

I don't know if any of you guys noticed but a bunch of the sites in the OP are having sales right now.

In fact on amrag right now our favorite animal print shirts are on sale.

 

[Salazar]

I've only ever bought a floral UW shirt (which holds together and looks legit), but they have some acceptable jackets at the moment.

I posted a few weeks ago saying I needed a suit. Someone linked me to a J Crew sale that I wish I'd acted on, but I didn't. Anyway, now I have a clear max budget of $400. Anyone know a good brand to look at for that price?

I'm looking for a standard modern fit, charcoal colored suit. Nothing fancy, as it's my first suit and needs to be versatile for different occasions.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Bought this in Khaki

http://www.next.co.uk/x533492s3#897744x53

i like it a lot!

but it seems like the price went up since I last checked.

FUCK.

 

[giga]

Got my outlier 60/30 loosies. The water resistance and four way stretch is so hot. In love.

OCBD? Uniqlo's are really good for the price.

I got the white solid slim shirt.

I need it for certain occasions.

I present to you a picture of my great uncle. He is on the left. He was known as the "Dandy" of his family:

More proof bow ties are the truth.

 

[freenudemacusers]

your great uncle was swag as fuck

both those dudes are pretty dope, but your great uncle is on another level

When I get a new scanner I will post more pics of him. I like looking at fashion from back then.


Here is another one of some old family members:

Mac, what kind of scarf is that?

 

[freenudemacusers]

aside from the edwardian collar, no reason why you can't channel that now bb

edit: just a jil sander semisheer cotton stripe scarf, nothing unusual or fancy. you can definitely find a bunch of similar shit on yoox/h&m/etc, or at a local hippie/fair trade clothing shop in your area.

Those look pretty nice, yeah. They're sadly out of my budget though, one I posted before was selling for 80 euros.

I had enough clothes anyway /pout

 

[killertofu]

I want this look

 

[Kwixotik]

I want this look

That's a very strange look. Like the casualist casual upper body and a traditionally formal lower body. Iunno how many people besides Ryan Gosling can do that.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

Shitty half tuck.

 

[freenudemacusers]

should just let it hang, this 'tuck so you can see my ballin belt' stuff needs to die.

otherwise he's husbando status ofc

 

[Mumei]

Could someone give me recommendations for sweaters and cardigans in the $50 - $90 range?

 

[Final Boss]

I want this look

Do you have the looks to pull that off?


That's not a look an average guy could pull off and not look foolish or "trying too hard"

 

[freenudemacusers]

yoox bb. right now there are some bellwood and roberto collina sweaters from $60-$100. mauro grifoni and brian dales, too, but they're a little higher. there are a lot of other brands but I only have personal experience with the above.

it's really not that out there, it's just all high quality garments and well-fitting. I mean, we're talking about a knit henley, brown dress pants, and shined loafers, it's not like he's strutting around in a patent leather jumpsuit. trying too hard?

I'm an Asian Ryan Gosling basically

You guys ever forget how much clothes you have and then go and organize your walk in closet then realize there's no space for anything left.

 

[Alucrid]

you guys ever go into your walk in closet then realize you dont have a walk in closet?

 

[TheKaeptain]

I was at a party once and the next day I woke up next to a chick getting pissed on by another chick. When I tried to leave the "room" I realized it was a closet and we were locked in there. Horrible day.

 

[freenudemacusers]

… wut


in other news, kaep's great uncle is my fashpiration for 2014. but i'm gonna be minimal about it. dandy-minimalism.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

In my defense it's not a baller ass one. Just a regular mans walk in closet.

 

[Alucrid]

i guess i can walk in my closet, doing anything in it is another story

 

[Kyne]

I like em, how much?

$10.

regular price @ $40, waited for them to go 70% off and used a 15% discount.

Forreal. If you want that look, hit the gym

[Kyne]

Target. Check the clearance isles.

 

[overcast]

I haven't bought clothes in a month. Should get back to it.

I miss my walk in closet.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Haven't posted in a while but this was my last clothing purchase:



Got it for about $45 (after tax) though since it didn't have a price tag on it (it had the barcode but not the price itself) I don't really know how much it cost originally. The grey is darker than the pic (flash from camera, white door).

I recommend their merino items.
