Should only go to the collar bone notch. Other wise you'll look hipster and terrible. As for cut? Need defined frontal neck tendons and a defined collarbone. Also, v-necks only work if you have an athletic torso (board shoulders, small waist, defined v-taper). V-necks subtly emphasize this.

Any more questions? The only thing I like more than fancy cologne bottles and having 6 iPods is fashion.

Here are some random fashion tips (for men):

-FIT ABOVE ALL

Casuals:
-Never wear graphic tee's unless you are going to a sporting event. Graphic tee's should not be part of your regular wardrobe.
-Unless you want to look girly (EDITED FOR MOD/GENDER CLARIFICATION), men should always wear straight leg jeans as opposed to boot-cut jeans (unless of course you are some badass cowboy or something). Bootcut jeans simulate curves and this is the reason why they are a popular cut among more girly minded men.
-In general, your shirt could be lighter to some degree than your pants. This is flexible depending on your color choice, but for jeans, this means a dark wash will look the best across most casual wardrobe combinations.
-If you are wearing a button down, roll your damn sleeves up a bit with a casual outfit, otherwise you'll look like a tryhard douche.
-I swear to god, if I see you wear that suit jacket with your jeans one more time, I will murder you.
-Shoes do not need to be darker than your jeans (like with a suit), but do not wear tennis shoes with jeans, unless you are in middle school and only have one pair of shoes. Sperry's are the most casual type of shoe for jeans, but any type of casual (wingtip, etc) oxford or desert boot will do.
-Chinos are casual. Don't let anyone tell you other wise.
-DO NOT tuck your T-shirt, or anything, into your jeans. Ever. I'm talking to you, GPC.


Suit/Formal wear:

-Most important rule: FIT ABOVE ALL. It does not matter how much you spent on your Ralph Lauren Black Label suit, if it does not fit right, IT WILL NOT MATTER. Find a tailor.
-Avoid pinstripes unless you want to look like a walking cliché.
-With suits, your shirt should ALWAYS be lighter than your pants, and your tie (most of the time) should be darker than your shirt (again, flexible depending on shirt color, because yellow ties work with salmon shirts, etc.).
-FIT ABOVE ALL
-Your belt should always match your shoes. No exceptions.
-Always leave your bottom jacket button unbuttoned. Unless you are wearing a Tux.
-Shirts: Stripes, micro-check patterns, and solids are fantastic. Light colors preferred. Nothing flashy like hot pink or neon lime green. Color neutrality is the essence of suit color coding.
-Pants: Unless you are fatass, try to avoid pleats and cuffs if at all possible. Flat fronts are the sharpest cut.
-Jackets: Dual (side) vent coats are the most elegant, most expensive cut. The most expensive suits manufacturers exclusively use dual-vents on their suits. It fits the shape of the male human torso better. The also keep the back of the suit flat and sleek at all times. Single (middle) vents are fine. It is a cheap, less expensive cut, but will still look great most of the time. No vent suits will look terrible when you sit down.
-Ties: Straight-lined patterned ties (diagonal lines, spatially straight micro-"logos", etc) should be the only ties you own. Swirl patterns are tacky.
-Shoes: Avoid square-toed shoes at all cost. Point-toe shoes elongate the leg and emphasize the sleek look of your flat-front pants. Also avoid patterns, such as alligator patterns. They look horrible.
-A blazer has metal buttons, a sport coat does not.
-If you are fat, lose some weight. Nothing will ever look good on you.
-FIND A DAMN TAILOR.

Women:
-Dress slutty. We don't care how much you spent on your Gucci blouse and Ralph Lauren boat shorts. We only care about DAT ASS and DEM CURVES. Dress accordingly.
-Wear heels all of the time. I don't even give a eff.

More to come if there are any questions.

Define "graphic tee's."  Please give examples of tee's that aren't graphic (other than solid tee's...obv).  Pics are helpful.  tia.

Graphic Tee:
(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_HfbOoley00c/Tbwk6WJYpWI/AAAAAAAAAVw/gPFUFWgHu8Q/georges-affliction-tee.jpg)
High schoolish, riley rattish, epitome of the douchebag.

Non-graphic Tee (or v-neck):
(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_HfbOoley00c/Tbwk6oaBDyI/AAAAAAAAAV0/la-rIGuJMCk/s640/39998_04_900.jpg)
Much more classy, more natural, more mature look. Especially when combined with a nice pair of jeans or even chinos and some nice shoes. Small logos are fine, even preferred if you do indeed want to add a bit of spice to the shirt. A minimal amount of writing can be ok as well, just not huge "HOLLISTER SURF CO. BOARD COMPETITION 1922 CHAMPIONS LOL" type of crap.

Even cheap boring stuff like this plain $5 H&M looks MUCH better than that $900 Affliction piece of crap:
(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Flp.hm.com%2Fhmprod%3Fset%3Dkey%5Bsource%5D%2Cvalue%5B%2Fenvironment%2F2010%2FA17_0016_014R_0.jpg%5D%26amp%3Bset%3Dkey%5Brotate%5D%2Cvalue%5B-0.6%5D%26amp%3Bset%3Dkey%5Bwidth%5D%2Cvalue%5B2390%5D%26amp%3Bset%3Dkey%5Bheight%5D%2Cvalue%5B2794%5D%26amp%3Bset%3Dkey%5Bx%5D%2Cvalue%5B696%5D%26amp%3Bset%3Dkey%5By%5D%2Cvalue%5B367%5D%26amp%3Bcall%3Durl%5Bfile%3A%2Fproduct%2Flarge%5D&hash=719c92705c06f94c1823ad1b29bb5cd1f502eddd)

Those are indeed "solid tees", but any T-Shirt with any amount of embroidery or print (besides something like a small logo) is considered "graphic" and will not look very classy. We all know we are richer than most fanbases. Classy is our genetic makeup.

Like I said, graphic tees shouldn't be part of your regular casual wardrobe, meaning that you can have a few for diversity, but by all means you shouldn't wear them every single freaking day.

This is the best "cool" summer fashion for you, and most people.

V-neck solid tee.  Or normal tee or pocket tee - fitted and NO logo.  Load up on bracelets (non-shiny or goth, beaded/ropey stuff).  Get a cool necklace, not made of seashells or shiny.  Long and hippy-looking.  Shorts, cut a smidgen above knee, definitely no cargos.  No plaid.  Shoes - espadrilles, desert boots, or whatever you get go for the no-socks socks (boat shoes are too lame, esp pale dudes who get dark shoes).  Now you look like a cool [redacted] without appearing too conformist or try-hard.

Basically look like you are getting laid.

fashion is kind of age dependent though imo. a twenty year old can pull off stuff that the same person at thirty five can't. thoughts? agree/disagree? also consider that the 35 yr old is getting judged by other 35 yr olds and not 20 yr olds. i mean, i don't disagree w/ anything posted above, but a married 35 yr old w/ two kids would get secretly laughed at for wearing lots of bracelets and a cool necklace. thoughts? we might need separate threads based on birthdays. thoughts?

I somewhat agree.  Obviously any person can pull off the picture earlier with the guy in solid tee, how many accessories you add would be age dependent.  I think more important is how fit you are (sorry fatties).  You'd still stand out some, but wgaf.  A lot of nerds will shun accessories, but need I say more.

Couldn't agree more. Just make sure that the snake goes down the leg and you're golden. Above all, though, you have to smell good. If you do, the snake down the leg may be forgiven. Or so I'm told.

And I've smelled several Lacoste scents (samples in mags, etc) and I totally agree that they smell like the types of things girls have told me smelled good in the past.  I'm just not 100% that colognes are cool right now.  You never hear chicks talk about cologne in a good way lately, just them making fun of doods that wear too much.  It used to be a pretty ever split between "I love when guys wear this" and complaints about overuse.  :ck:

I wear cologne quite often when I go out, usually get at least 1 compliment, usually more.  I'm also pretty sure that I got laid just because of my cologne on a couple of occasions.  One time I had this girl walk by, turn around, grab me and smell my chest, then she complimented me on it, then she got her boyfriend and told him to smell me and get that same cologne.  I told him that it would be a good idea for him to NOT come smell me.  Girl also came by later without her boyfriend and gave me her number.

Used to do a two guard all the way around.  Since Christmas Break, however, I've routinel kept it long (~2 inches or so) and swooped it over from left to right.

Yeah and the in seam should be short enough to show off the mid-upper half of the knee.  At least.

Got some v-necks and it feels weeeiiird to wear.

yla if you get boat shoes make sure it matches your paleness.  Do not be like those people try and look frat but have no style (actually frat style is super lame, can't spell style with frat), in this case dark brown shoes with pale skin.

Also saw a dude yesterday wear skinny jeans rolled up with boat shoes.  It was a good look.  I later tried it out with my skinniest pair of jeans and pulled it off well.  Did not work so well with my not as skinny jeans.  Boat shoes look pretty Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) with pants, if you can get the Kansas out of you, showing some ankle makes it work.

EMAW fashion talk

So when I sport my KSU gear I generally try to go for white or gray rather than purple, though I do have a purple zip-up hoodie that I enjoy wearing when it is chilly.  Anyway, my question is in regards to what to do when I actually wear purple shirts.

Q: When wearing a purple shirt, what shade of jeans go best with said purple?  This could obviously depend on what shade of purple one is wearing so elaborate on that as well. 

I usually go with lighter shades because I just don't like the way the darker blue looks when paired with a purple shirt.  Also, what about gray denim, I nearly pulled the trigger on a pair of gray 501's a couple months ago with this purpose specifically in mind.  I've tried khaki or light brown pants as well but find this looks odd to me, am I wrong?

Please help, I don't want to get laughed at for the way I dress.

yeah first v-neck does feel awkward but very freeing, also when you find the one w/ the perfect cut it is amazing. also paleness I'll pretend you didn't type that(I went with the blue sperrys fyi).
Kansas out of me? I'm so-SoCal it hurts. I'm thinking about getting Hollywood tattooed on my back.

Assuming formal = suit & tie or comparable, you're usually right. Some will say to never wear a button down with a tie, but I don't mind it with a blazer or sportscoat because that's generally a less formal look, anyway, especially if you're talking corduroy or tweed and/or a sweater under the jacket. Buttondown collars with a sweater help keep the collar under control so you don't have one collar in and one collar out.   

Spread collars are the way to go these days for formal (suit). Really showcases the knot.

If you could pick three blazer colors besides black to match the following pant colors, which would you pick?  Would be worn with blank t-shirts of various colors.  Looking for balance of flexible matching/cool style.

The darker shoe would be your best bet there.

You could wear a natural linen blazer with the last three pants, possibly with first, depending on how dark the linen is. Navy blue would work with all of them. Gray would work with last three, too. Probably want to stay pretty neutral with the coat given the brightness of the colors of the last three.

I'm pro tie.  Pro ties with jeans.  I tend to make all my wardrobe decisions based on a simple rule:  In terms of how "dressy" I want to be, I always try to be in the 90% percentile.  No higher. No lower.

I can't think of a bar (or circumstance) in Aggieville that a tie would be appropriate.  You would easily be in the 99th percentile on most nights...and those people look like they're just trying too hard.
Title: Re: OFFICIAL: Fashion Thread
Post by: stunted on January 31, 2012, 09:43:14 AM
Being in the 99% is fine anywhere, but you have to be outgoing, otherwise you'd be a try-hard weirdo.  For example, dressing up like Russell Brand and being a badass vs. dressing up the same way and sitting quietly in the corner of the bar holding your dick.

I think dlew can pull off a tie. :gocho:

First thing to figure out. Pay attention to what guys are wearing in movies and TV shows you watch. Browse GQ or Esquire online or on paper. Check out some street style blogs. Spend an afternoon someplace like the Plaza, just going into different stores and seeing what displays you like. A lot of the looks you'll see, especially in the mags or style blogs, will be more "extreme." Just use them to see what elements you *do* like. That will help you narrow down what stores you want to shop.

If all my clothes burned tomorrow, and I made just a little more, I would buy most of my business-wear staples at Brooks Brothers, with some trendier business/casual from Banana Republic, J. Crew, and Express.

A question for  tall people:
I'm kind of tall (6'2"), but pretty thin. So, large shirts are way too baggy, but medium shirts are too short. I've never had much luck finding Med-Tall shirts. Where do you guys shop?

slimz' aforementioned express has slim-fit shirts.  You're gonna need a garment steamer, though.

If you have a bit of money, Brooks Brothers Sport Shirts in Slim or Extra Slim are better options (in terms of fabric quality, fit, etc.). Express is fine, though. I'm 6'2" as well, and the brooks bros. shirts are fine in terms of length. I have a few ralph lauren custom-fit oxfords, as well; I like the way they fit my shoulders, and the fabric is great.

Yes, the extra-slim is your best option if you have a sub-34 waist.

I'm constantly perplexed by the number of guys I see wearing ties without collar stays, with their collars flying out all over the place. Makes me wonder if they aren't familiar with collar stays, or just forgot to put them in that morning.

Zara is good, its from Spain so all their clothes are made for thin, good-looking people.  Also well priced, its like a much cooler Gap.

I only have pants from there which may be too skinny for your liking.  Shirts should be a good fit off the rack.

Hi fashion experts, I'm looking for some inspiration. If you could start your wardrobe over from scratch, what would you buy? Where would you shop?
where do you work, what do you do? price point?
I'm in grad school for the next 4-5 years. I don't have to teach, so there's no reason I can't dress casually. My price point is fairly modest, but I have some extra cash I want to spend on clothes...
Pretty sure there are some Jos. A Banks haters on here, but I would have started there. They have great clothes...everything discussed on here...good quality. NEVER buy anything at full retail price. They have crazy sales every other week and ridiculous sales once every month or two. (Buy 2, get 3 free is very common).

Hi fashion experts, I'm looking for some inspiration. If you could start your wardrobe over from scratch, what would you buy? Where would you shop?

What look do you want to go for?

For me, I'd probably revolve my wardrobe around pants that fit well (non-jeans) and shoes that match.  Be more picky about what I buy.  Only get button-ups that are tailored (cheaper anyways).

First thing to figure out. Pay attention to what guys are wearing in movies and TV shows you watch. Browse GQ or Esquire online or on paper. Check out some street style blogs. Spend an afternoon someplace like the Plaza, just going into different stores and seeing what displays you like. A lot of the looks you'll see, especially in the mags or style blogs, will be more "extreme." Just use them to see what elements you *do* like. That will help you narrow down what stores you want to shop.

If all my clothes burned tomorrow, and I made just a little more, I would buy most of my business-wear staples at Brooks Brothers, with some trendier business/casual from Banana Republic, J. Crew, and Express.  

Thanks. This is good advice.

Backpack.
This is also good advice.

Bring your clothes to a tailor. Not very expensive and you will look and feel great. (assuming you are good looking, otherwise you will just feel great).

Wrinkle free is the only way to go. If you don't buy wrinkle free and you don't steam/iron/dry-clean, then you just as well wear your pajamas.

Ahh, thank you for that. Nothing bigtime about Jos. A Banks. Guy was in grad school and asked what we would do different if starting our wardrobe over. I bought a bunch of cheap crap at that age and I would buy a bit better clothes. Jos A Banks is good place to start. It wears well and looks good imho. I don't have any personal need to bigtime anyone with my clothes, but I do buy nicer clothes now. I like the 90th %ile rule that someone (you?) mentioned earlier.

My folks used to give me Jos A Banks as gifts. My experience was that the shirts were cut huge (and differently than a lot of other makers) and tended to fray much sooner than my shirts from Lands End, Brooks Bros, and Polo. I haven't seen a JAB shirt on sale at a low enough price to buy. In this day and age when you can get much better prices on much better quality shirts online, there's no excuse to get a JAB shirt.

The suit and sportcoats they gave me have lasted okay. The shoulder pads are thicker than I'd like. I suppose if you're going to buy store brand at a department store, getting a Jos A Bank suit or sportcoat on a deep sale for about the same price would be okay.

The ties have lasted well, but at the price they charge they're nothing special.

Tank tops


Been seeing guys wearing them a lot more.

Not sure about this.....

I mean, I would love to take part.  Tank tops are comfy, but worried about the WT factor.

Currently, my rule is that if I am not doing something exercise based, the tank top is a no go.

Nailed it. I'd add that they are a great wear to the pool as well.

If your muscles are more beautiful than sleeves of cotton, wear tank tops.

I need an example of the acceptable tanks that people are seeing.  I am not a jersey wearer and only currently own athletic tanks(like the reversible tanks you wear in basketball practice and stuff) for working out. 

I need to explore this a little more before finalizing my re-eval.

this is a seriously good tip. buy pieces that are simple and useable year after year. essentially buy your clothes a full year or several seasons ahead. you can pick up shirts and pants that will never really go out of style at the end of the seasons. might not be able to use them in the spring or summer, but you'll be thanking yourself when fall or winter rolls around.

Don't get me wrong.  If you're tall + super jacked (ahem), you can pull it off in any sitch.  If you're pretty much just a regular joe, i think they look douchy.  But looking like a douche is acceptable in a lot of summer type things (pool, daydrinking, etc.)

guys, here's the thing about fashions like pocket tank tops. you think you look all douchey or silly in them or whatever, but who gives an eff if the girls dig it? unless the purpose of the official fashion thread is for guys to learn how to dress to impress guys. which it might well be...i can't seem to tell.

I hear girls say this all the time, but in reverse for girls. It's dumb.

For clarity, I dress how I do because I think it looks nice. I obviously want others to appreciate it too, but I'm not going dress uncomfortably because girls will like it.

i'm guessing the reason BTK wants to dress to impress guys is so he can stalk them on kraigslist, 'pick them up' (while dressed to impress), & then, you know, kill them. weirdo.

You said it, man.

Those of us who were townies, or who were the ones who stayed for the entire summer, learned who they were, got bronzed and all became Seans.  The fall would come and we'd spread our wings in front of all the KC/Ta folks and, trust me, the attention was amazing.

I don't give a crap what guys think about how I dress, as long as girls dig it.  A few months ago when I was last in MHK and went out in Aggieville I was totally preppied-up in a sweater vest.  I literally had guys come up to me at two different bars and say something.  It also happened when I was back last summer.  Yeah, I don't care.  If I'm out with a beautiful girl, or girls are hitting on me, not a single solitary eff is given about what guys say to me.

But that's just one man's opinion.

Quick question.  What's up with the phenomenon of dudes wearing dyed khaki shorts and with cross trainers and mid calf nike socks.  Saw about 10 dudes rocking this look friday afternoon, evening in aggieville.  Usually coupled with backwards or tilted back flat-bill (with tufts of hair sticking out), too-tight tshirt (shorts were also too tight), with the whole outfit clashing horribly colorwise.

No srsly.  Sweater vest + blue gingham shirt.  Don't remember what else I was wearing, but it was either dark jeans or Banana Republic chinos.  Guy at Kites walked up to me when I was ordering a beer and specifically tried to make fun of me for wearing a sweater vest.  He was wearing a t-shirt I believe.  I was with a girl that night who was wearing a dress -- arguably overdressed -- but she was in the bathroom at the time.  The other comment that night made more sense given the location: someone at the Lou joked we were overdressed and making everyone else in Aggieville look bad.

The comment the summer before came when I was wearing a tan summer suit for an event.  There you have it.

You can wear whatever the eff you want as long as your shirt has a collar.

Anyone have suggestos for casual dress w/ collared shirt? I'm tired of/don't really like polos.

Been rocking the long sleeve shirt w/ sleeves rolled up and khakis found below too often, need to mix it up. (minus flip flops... I hate flip flops.)

Was it a reg tank or was it the kind that was like a tee cut into 1" strips up top with arm holes that went to the guys waist?

This.... Also, if you can see a girls arms and possibly collar bone and can't tell if they have a beer gut or not, your probably pak'd enough that it doesn't matter

Funny you should mention that, CNS Casey.  I was just thinking that I would have expected a pretty sizeable moose knuckle, I believe it's called, to be present in the photo given the badass prose that accompanies it.  Marketing gaffe on their part (:dunno:), but a homerun is still a homerun even if it doesn't completely exit the stadium.

It is making a comeback at some elementary/middle schools, from what I hear. My brother says a lot of the jocks (if there are jocks at middle schools?) wear calf high socks and those sandals that just have one strap over them.

I wonder if wearing socks with sandals will ever become stylish again (ever?  :dunno:).  I'd really like it to, it feels excellent.   I've never worn a pair of those socks with the slot cut in them.  The ones made for wearing with sandals.  I probably can't imagine how great that would be.

It is making a comeback at some elementary/middle schools, from what I hear. My brother says a lot of the jocks (if there are jocks at middle schools?) wear calf high socks and those sandals that just have one strap over them. I used to do this to sporting events and stuff but never to school. All about the T-Mac's, baby.
guys, are we sure socks with sandals were ever IN style? i think people always wore them, but for the purpose of comfort and not fashion.

Some dickbags used to wear wool socks with birks and thought they were pretty sweet.

any pant/shirt/shoe combo that already looks good will look good with a navy blazer. navy blazers are easy as crap and will go with anything. I mean, just google "navy blazer" in the google image search. more important than what you pair it with is that it fits correctly.

oh man, navy blazers are one of my favorite menswear items for formal/semi-formal occasions.
great with an oxford: solid colors (such as light blue) or patterns (such as a nice plaid or gingham). you can even throw a sweater/sweater vest on over the oxford if you're feeling daring. a tie can be added for a nicer look. perfect with khaki pants for a semi-formal occasion.

They're not new.

Quote
Between the 1950s and 1980s, Levi's jeans became popular among a wide range of youth subcultures, including greasers, mods, rockers, hippies and skinheads. Levi's popular shrink-to-fit 501s were sold in a unique sizing arrangement; the indicated size referred to the size of the jeans prior to shrinking, and the shrinkage was substantial. The company still produces these unshrunk, uniquely sized jeans, and they are still Levi's number one selling product. Although popular lore (abetted by company marketing) holds that the original design remains unaltered, this is not the case: the company's president got too close to a campfire, and the rivet at the bottom of the crotch conducted the fire's heat too well; the offending rivet, which is depicted in old advertisements, was removed.

They're apparently for idiots that want their clothes to be work.

getting my first pair of 501 shrink-to-fit in the mail today.  anybody have any pro-tips? :users:

Huh. I ordered some 1954 501's from the Vintage line that are arriving this week, as well.

Somewhat related, it took me a while to come around to getting a pair of selvedge jeans, but once I did (some Levi's matchsticks I found on sale), I was glad I did. They look much better and wear better than any of my other jeans.

Basically. According to what I've read, some people fill their bathtub, sit in it in their jeans, then go outside and sit in the sun.

Hyvee didn't have a great selection, but I did smell some of the other ones.  They are very good as well.  I liked it so much I went to the everymanjack.com website and, oh brother, I think I want to go on a shopping spree in that place.

Title: Re: OFFICIAL: Fashion Thread
Post by: mocat on April 02, 2013, 10:45:39 AM
the milk comes out with their eggs. when the baby ostrich needs milk it goes back and finds its broken egg. usually most of the milk has spilled out onto the ground, so there's really not much there. really when you think about it, ostriches (ostrichi?) do not get the milk they need. Why do you think they can't fly?

Yeah, they are good with jeans and are the ideal travelling shoe as they slip off easy at security and on board. I have brown and black pairs from Banana and they are my current go to non-business shoe:

You know, Bob, I'm glad you asked this question...

People ask me all the time, "Hey Bill, I'm tired of these old tires.  How can I kick my kicks up a notch?"  In the old days, things were much more simple - some woven fur, perhaps buckskin, or braided mandrake root.  These days, it seems like it's all been done before. 

But let me tell you, in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan, I've noticed a small, but increasing population of young folks wearing this footwear which appears to be styled after the New English boating shoes of the 1960's.  With some smart denim or responsible short-pants, I think these may be the clogs you're craving...

Do you have a lot of gross upper chest hair that is going to show if you go with the V neck? If so, stick with the circle neck.

No gross upper chest hair. My question isn't necessarily if I can wear v-neck, but would a v-neck look better than the circle neck? Thanks for the input Mrs gooch

I think it looks better when you can't see the neck of the t-shirt, unless you have a bunch of gross upper chest hair. Sounds like you don't have that issue, so a v neck would look better.

V-neck without a tie, crew neck with it.

And if your dress shirt is transparent enough and you're tan enough that the border of the white undershirt is visible under the sleeves of your dress shirt, consider going with a light gray undershirt instead.

I have a new pair of cole haan cap toes that look kind of like the fifth avenue (but less baller) so I was happy to see the wingtips on sale.

Any thoughts on polo shirt under blazer for a little dressy, but not too dressy style?  Or ideas for alternatives?

For summer.

I think it's an elite summer look. completely unbuttoned polo with some wayfarers hanging off.

I've found Cole Haan's to be a little hit or miss. I have a pair of wingtips from them that are great and quite comfortable. They're a little bit too roomy in the instep and they crease more than they should (despite using shoe trees, of course), but very comfy and I like them a lot, especially because I got them at an outlet for like $95. I have another pair of Haan's (Madison, I think) that are very visually appealing and appear to be well crafted, but are uncomfortable after about 4 hours on my feet and also have some weird cushioning in the footbed where I can hear air deflate from it with each step.

Finally getting around to purchasing new dress shirts. Brooks Bros. is the go to, right? This shirt is going to be the most versatile, right? http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Supima%C2%AE-Cotton-Non-Iron-Slim-Fit-Forward-Point-Collar-Dress-Shirt/224Q,default,pd.html?dwvar_224Q_Color=ECRU&contentpos=1&cgid=0203

I would only purchase a shirt with an ainsley collar if I'm going to wear a tie with a bulky not, correct?

Also, french cuffs v. standard, are there any rules on that?

Don't French cuff unless you wear a suit every day obviously. BB non-iron are the bread and butter of any professional ensemble. Wash, dry, hang immediately. Get some workinstiff collar stays.

Yes to the ainsley collar/tie. If you're not wearing a tie, I'd recommend button down 99% of the time.

I assume you're not planning on buying that shirt at full price?

yeah, i usually buy my BB a season behind. theyll drop the price 50% and have plenty of selection still available in store. the store at the legends is an outlet and has some pretty great prices, but they also have some decent sales online. sign up for emails from them. i have a 15% off card sign up email somewhere around here (youll have to tell them youre a DU)... :cheese:

Obviously you don't wear french cuffs without a jacket, but are they too formal to be paired with a sport coat or blazer? (I'm assuming yes, but what do I know)

Should I get an assortment of workinstiff sizes, or will the 2.5"s cover all of my needs?

they are pretty baller with a sport coat or blazer with jeans or anything else. I'm just saying you won't get the use out of them like a normal shirt. I just have the one size workunstiffs. I have a shitload of the magnets though because I break or lose one about once a month.

Here's some advice that reminded me of the V-neck discussion. Looks like Abby agrees with me.

Quote from: BLUSHING IN SAN FRANCISCO
DEAR ABBY: I have been seeing "Duane" for two months. He's kind, good-looking, successful, smart and fun. He's also apparently quite proud of his astonishingly hairy chest because he always wears his shirts unbuttoned nearly to his navel. When we're in public, you can see people react. Sometimes they point and whisper.
I gently raised the issue, but he didn't seem to think it was a big deal. I like him, but I'm embarrassed sometimes. Any thoughts?

DEAR BLUSHING: Yes. Your friend is suffering from overexposure. When strangers point and whisper, what they're saying is usually no compliment. Because Duane's decolletage embarrasses you, give him a choice: Button up or mow the "lawn."

quick poll:

which looks worse... wearing jeans with a polo/t-shirt tucked in and no belt, or wearing jeans with a polo/t-shirt tucked into a black belt with white tennis shoes?

also, why do people still tuck t-shirts in? good grief.

no belt kind of became a thing for some reason. not really an opinion on the above but just thought I'd mention it.

i think if youre not going to wear a belt you should wear jeans that dont have belt loops. kind of how if youre not going to use a pocket protector you shouldnt wear a shirt with a pocket, ya know?

Obviously, Sperry's was a leader in the boat shoe area. Haven't purchased any Sperry shoes in a few years, but I still wear other boaters from time to time. Very comfortable, IMO.

Dropped off three shirts at a dry cleaners yesterday.  One of them is the white one I needed to wear for a school related meeting out of town on Monday.  Went back to pick them up today and they say they don't have my shirts and they don't know where they are!

 :surprised:

They ask me what brand they are and I say i don't know they were three different brands and they tell me not to worry because their customers are very nice and they'll probably bring them back!

 :surprised: :surprised:

I say, "so that's not good, now i don't have any clothes to wear to work," and look at them kind of angrily and put out, and they say "well ok, what do you want us to do about it?" i said "well i'd like you to pay for my three shirts that you lost."  they said "well you don't know what brand they were so you don't know how much they cost."  I said, "you give me five minutes and i can show you a receipt." 

That last comment I told them was utter bullshit. I just cooled down while I was outside and decided to tell them I'd go buy a different shirt for monday and if they didn't have my shirts by then, then we could figure it out.  I just needed to relax.  Two minutes later they found my shirts. 

Close call!

Hey, EMAWCats.

:MartaviousDNR: this thread, but I need some new black shoes for work. Wear suits on the regular. Almost always wear black/charcoal/gray suits, all very traditional-yet-gorgeous.

Shoes need to not have laces (not wasting my time with that) and be classy/impressive.

HELP ME OUT, COBBLERCATS.

Depends.  They're not for everyone.  If you're skinny, yeah too baggy.  If you're fat they look like crap because the thighs are too tight.  If you're in better shape and not too skinny they fit pretty great.   At least that is my personal experience, at least with the last two.

i have thunder thighs so pretty much no way to wear jeans unless theyre a bit baggy. i enjoy gap jeans, though.

can confirm the dark wash trend, though. dont roll them up like a hipster unless youre a hipster.

also, youre supposed to wash them inside out. did you guys all know that? here i am, my whole life, washing my jeans right side out. wow. talk about mind blown.  :Wha:

i rolled my jeans up last weekend for pretty much the first time ever - i couldn't find my belt so they were sagging just a bit and the cuffs were dragging on the ground. 

pretty much all the cool kids roll their jeans here. i might start doing it more in the future.

Lookin for a new watch

I don't know if price is a consideration, but Relic makes a pretty decent watch. Some of them look like they're straight from the dork store, but there are quite a few that compare favorably in style to Fossil watches. Definitely a less expensive option. I've got two Fossil watches, and one Relic watch. I enjoy wearing them all equally.

Thoughts? They seem cool in a laid-back So-Cal, but non bro type of way. Downside? They seem like the kind of thing that would look ridiculous on anyone but most tall, slender, and handsome. So, basically just ridiculous.  Intriguing though.

you probably wear them a lot and just got used to it. like the guy in that movie that had the rock fall on him and had to cut his arm off to get away and get water and stuff. you're now living your life now five years later and all "yeah i guess i'd rather have that arm but hey nbd and you can't win 'em all". i mean that's your reality. so forgive me if i take your two cents on the subject, spit on them and then throw one of them as far as i can with my left arm and then the other one as far as i can with my fully functioning right arm because i can and because i want to rub it in your one armed face.

Yep shoes and tie really take it to the next uncomfortable level. I have a co worker who wears a tie (he doesn't have to) and still unbuttons the top button to be more comfortable, lol what. Either go all in or take that tie off. If it's after 5 and you're at the bar a little tie loosening is ok, but not at the start of the day

I went to JCP like 4 days after Christmas and it was unreal.  I was just looking for some dece sport shirts and sweaters for weekend activities.  I got 3 sport shirts for like $4 each and 2 sweaters for $8 each.  Sure, the shirts aren't the highest quality, but I'm going to be wearing a sweater over them so I really don't care.  Looking back I wish I had bought like 100 more.

Really I'm just looking for office wear.  My company has a very casual dress code.  In the interview my boss said "honestly a lot of people just wear jeans every day, I usually wear slacks though" so I'm just looking for some nice khakis that I can wear that are casual enough to wear to the bars but make me look more professional than the other people in my position that just wear jeans everyday.

BR had a lot of good options.

Looking to update my look and stop wearing jeans and a polo all the time. Fashionistas, what kind of stuff should I look for this spring/summer?
why don't you start with rolled up button up shirts and then go from there. Not to drastic of a change but will get the ball rolling for other fashion excursions

My office has a pretty casual dress code, so both. Picked up a couple pairs of chinos last night. Really like the grays.

This. Aim for faded madras (left), summerweight oxford (right), or linen. (You could gingham it up, too, if you don't mind the pattern.)

Quick question.  What's up with the phenomenon of dudes wearing dyed khaki shorts and with cross trainers and mid calf nike socks.  Saw about 10 dudes rocking this look friday afternoon, evening in aggieville.  Usually coupled with backwards or tilted back flat-bill (with tufts of hair sticking out), too-tight tshirt (shorts were also too tight), with the whole outfit clashing horribly colorwise.





Guys are still doing this. Not as uniformally as 2012, but still quite a bit.

I just don't think I could rock the dyed, primary color chinos that many yuppies wear these days.  If you want to know ole' Sprac's golden rule when it comes to fashion, it is this:  Always look like you are on a boat, just got off a boat, or are just about to get on to a boat (leisure boat, not tubing, y'all).

my workplace is very casual. my uniform is a BB non-iron, wool pants or chinos, loafers most days. suit about 1 out of 10'ish only for certain clients or travel. it would be an easy addition to any day of the week. I own multiple sport coats in various seasonal colors and fabrics. It would be easy to wear one to the office almost every day of the week (and a great excuse to collect more). would also un-boring my uniform. need to unlazy myself.

yeah, slim fit. slim fit are also not really that "slim" either. it should just be called "regular". "extra slim" (which I can't pull off) should be called "slim", "regular" should be called "blousy" and "traditional" should be called "sailboat sail".

Only way I've ever been able to tie a tie that was long enough was with a half windsor that was very little. Unless I have a vest. Then I can do a Double Windsor.

try the four-in-hand knot.  Uses less material, and some lunatics think the asymmetrical look is stylish.

I need to buy a vest to go with a dark grey suit for a banquet tomorrow.  Where is the best place in MHK to find the balance of quality and economical?

Why didn't you buy the matching vest when you bought the suit like your wife told you to do?  :shakesfist:
(Oh sorry that wasn't meant for you.)

I outgrew my vest unfortunately.

Is this rough ridin' real?

I just went by Marshalls and with a half windsor and the tie to my belt, the part of the tie in the back didn't reach the part of the tie it is supposed to tuck into.  So a double windsor is way out of the question.  Do you use a double or a half?

Thank you! Mrs Gooch gets it. Found a vest last night at JCP it said $80 on the tag and when I went to check out the cashier said "That'll be $43" So. . I didn't complain.  Then I swung by rue 21 and found some "going out" button downs for $7 each. I might need a fashion intervention guys. But I want to be a baller on a budget.

Pants for a dark charcoal blazer.

Good reason not to get a gray blazer, especially dark gray. Not nearly as flexible as a blue blazer. With a lighter gray you could wear it with navy or black slacks, at least. But if it's too dark a gray, then you start running into the issue with navy and black of it looking like a mismatched suit. If it's that dark, though, then you could probably wear it with light gray slacks, especially if the material/texture also has some contrast to the blazer material. The right shade of khaki or brown (trickier) could work, too...and if you're a jeans with sportcoat kinda guy, then nice blue jeans could work.

Hope your vest works out, ydarg. If you're going to try to do a vest with a suit using a vest other than one made with the suit material as part of a three-piece, you can google image "odd vest suit" for some ideas. Easier to do an odd vest (term for a vest not made as part of a suit) with a less formal suit or sportcoat, though. Gotta avoid looking like you're headed to prom or a Men's Wearhouse wedding.

Also, whoever said to check out the big and tall tie section and tiebar.com was right on. Tie Bar has big and tall ties, BTW. And the ties are thick enough that the four-in-hand referenced by spracne won't look too asymmetrical, if you're not into that.

But I may be taking a new job with the company where I'll be in lots of meetings with people above me who would probably not be caught dead in jeans and an untucked shirt (we're only a few years removed from allowing jeans on FRIDAY).

i wear a shirt tucked into jeans almost every day. if you have dark jeans, a nice belt, and nice shoes, tucking a shirt in doesnt look bad at all imo.

i say tuck it in, michigancat. days when you have big meetings throw on some casual slacks.

My grandmother thinks you're a real sharp dresser.

granny bread is one of the sweetest ladies ive ever met. im not surprised by this at all.

I think the only time I tuck in a shirt into jeans is if i'm wearing a sweater as an additional layer. Now i'm gonna suggest something extremely dorky, but practical.

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fecx.images-amazon.com%2Fimages%2FI%2F419BtISLDTL._SY300_.jpg&hash=41e6c06e489dcde1b02c8822317dc3ac0b621627)

Super cheap and it allows you to wear whatever pants might get caught in your spokes while riding. You look very dorky while riding, but you'll look dorky anyway. Takes like a second to take off.   

On the other hand you could just get some slim fitting pants like these...

No.

I'm pretty sure I am.

One tricky part is most of the executives are women in this company.

You knew jeans were out as soon as you contemplated those meetings and what the people in them would think of wearing jeans.

The bike complicates things. 

but lots definitely wear jeans.

Ah, I thought you were describing a room of you in your jeans along with a dozen people all dressed business-casual at a minimum.

I say go the other direction, and make it plain that you're michigancat that rides a bike to work and that includes wearing jeans and desert boots and who isn't going to do a goofy thing like tucking a shirt into those jeans for a meeting.  Maybe carry your bike helmet into the meeting with you to make it obvious.  And for the really important meetings, throw them a bone and wear the nice shirt tucked into nice pants and uber to work.

Not everyone works in an environment that requires formal business attire. Now days many places are moving to more flexible dress codes in an effort to recruit and retain employees. Most places are coming to the realization that requiring employees to wear formal business attire is unnecessary and outdated, unless the nature of the job business requires that employees meet with clients/ customers on a regular basis.

this is what I imagine massofcatfan wears

http://www.purecostumes.com/halloween-costumes/RG80133/zoot-suit-adult-costume.html

what do you do in your suits? play basketball?

In all seriousness, I think there is a big difference between a suit being tailored to fit you and a suit being too small. I imagine things fitting tighter is a direct reaction to the early and mid 2000's trend of people wearing clothes that were way too big.

FWIW, IF YOU BUY THE CORRECT SIZE Suit Supply has some great suiting. Their recommendation (via their size helper thingy) essentially suggests a 38R for your typical 40L guy, etc. I bought a 40L (what I normally wear) and had it slightly adjusted from there. It's just a really nice suit and doesn't fit me like that (dorky). No offense to the original suit supply poster who probably fell for it and thought it would be a good idea to wear a suit that slim in any sort of professional setting. If you wear suits in anything but a formal or professional setting you're also a dork FYI.

Not really what I'm saying. My point was that those models are given a size smaller than they should be. No one needing a suit should want that end result. So, if you can look past the company's awful product photography and order the correct size, I think you all* would be very pleased with their products. It's a very interesting business model.

*if you're a jacked bro and have a huge chest and shoulders compared to the rest of your stature, go ahead and find something that fits the shoulders well and have a good tailor fix the rest. Or, if you're :ksugrad: then have one made to measure.

Well, here's my  :th_twocents:, if you want it.

I've previously discussed the limitations of grey blazers (http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=12772.msg1101162#msg1101162). The reason why the navy blazer is the standard is because it's the most versatile, both seasonally (wear it year round) and in terms of use (pairs well with tans, khakis, and greys, which tend to be the colors of most guys' non-suit pants).

However, if you don't mind losing a little versatility, there are a few ways you could go here. (Also a good question for guys looking for a second sportcoat outside of the navy blazer.) We'll try to start with the most versatile here (this is also the order in which I'd add to my closet, except I'd probably switch linen/cotton and camelhair and maybe the blend/tweed).

1) A tan blend sportcoat, something along these lines (http://www.brooksbrothers.com/Fitzgerald-Fit-Tan-Plaid-with-Rust-Windowpane-Sport-Coat/MM00325,default,pd.html) from BB:

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs7d4.scene7.com%2Fis%2Fimage%2FBrooksBrothers%2FMM00325_TAN_1%3F%24bbproductimages%24&hash=0bd0bcd9c49c3008a2c1d470d2e2eaba5e92b1d1)

This photo has it used in a very summery style, but the great thing is that you can also pair it with darker grey, blue, or brown slacks year 'round (just not going to be able to wear it with khakis). Windowpane patterns (keep it on the subtler end, like this one) aren't terribly common to see around here, can be a little more stylish in a Brit/European sense.

I have one that looks like a match to this one. I wear it with anything in my closet. It has a lighter blue, a hint of yellow, a bit of maroon, and I think a bit of green in the pattern. It is pretty great, because I can wear it with almost any shirt/tie combo if I want to.

First of all big train, your opinion is valued. secondly i assume it's not the purple and black, or do you just not like all stars? IMO they give off the vibe that I'm looking for. Keep in mind I'm in my mid-20's tho doing weird stuff.

i appreciate that you value my opinion.  i like the colors, but i am just not a converse fan, i mean my dad played basketball at a high level in them but i just am not a fan.  also i just buy crap i think matches so i am not a fashion expert, nor should i be treated as such.  i also dont like high top shoes because they feel weird to me.  so do whatever you want, my personal preference for what i wear will not include those and i dont judge people who wear something i would not.

i am also mid-20's

Oh hey guys. Got a little dilemma that I'm hoping some fashion forward cats can help me out with. Having been in the big apple for a couple months now, I'm definitely doing a lot more walking than I've ever done on a daily basis. I bought a sleek looking pair of dress shoes from Aldo before moving and I've already worn the heel out. Also my feet hurt like hell in the morning or if I get up after being seated for more than 30 minutes or so.

Any recommendos on a pair of shoes that I can wear to work (biz-cas; button front shirts and slacks typically) but that will also provide some relief for my aching feet?

Thanks in advance, go cats, etc etc

the flap.  i have a pair of jeans where the flap that covers the zipper is all jaggled up and sometimes rolls back and exposes the damn zipper. regardless of whether or not the zipper is up.  that flap pisses me off so bad.

Same problem with one of my favorite pairs of pants.  If you come up with a solution, let me know.

welp, chicat- i figured it out
when you wash/dry your jeans/shorts, zip the zipper up, fix the flap how it's supposed to be and button your jeans/shorts.
after a couple of washes, the problem is solved

going forward, i have employed this method with my new shorts and it has proven to be 100% effective

TownieGF has a couple that she wears. Approved.

Ask her if it is a pain in the ass when she has to use the restroom.
Canco that it makes bathroom breaks longer/complicated.

i was in their 64112 store yesterday looking at some chukkas but decided to sleep on it. the friends & family goes through today, so if you're going to pull the trigger now is the time.
although, i don't think i've ever bought anything from cole haan at full price.

i have a suede pair of cole haan lunargrand chuckas that i really like except they run about a half size big
i wear a 13, but in these i would need a 12.5 but they don't make them in 12.5
here's the ones i am looking at
http://www.colehaan.com/original-grand-chukka-woodbury-ivory/C20740.html?dwvar_C20740_color=Woodbury-ivory&dwvar_C20740_width=M#cgid=mens_shoes_boots&start=35
they would go w/ jeans or khakis
the lunargrand sole is probably an individual taste thing but after wearing them, i love it,  very light and comfortable.

also looking at these-
http://www.timberland.com/shop/timberland-boot-company-mens-collection/mens-timberland-boot-company-wodehouse-chukkas-75509242
i have other boots from tbc and they're really good quality

i'll prob just get the cole haan ones though, w/ 30% off bringing them to just under $200

I have to decide by tomorrow whether to buy these shoes, but I hate not being able to try them on because I have very narrow feet and especially narrow in the heel.   :runaway:

That doesn't work for me because the shoes are generally looser in the heel than the toe. Also, I don't want my feet to be all hot and stuff.

Just found this tie, have not ordered though: http://www.samhober.com/american-college-university-silk-ties/kansas-state-silk-tie-12-purple-and-white.html (http://www.samhober.com/american-college-university-silk-ties/kansas-state-silk-tie-12-purple-and-white.html) Kansas State Silk Tie #ECO-12 (Purple & White)

I mostly wear "lavender" shirts from https://www.blanklabel.com/shirts/dress (https://www.blanklabel.com/shirts/dress) (off-the-rack fits weird)

Every day someone asks me "why are you wearing purple again?" Here is an article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jacquelynsmith/2012/10/05/steve-jobs-always-dressed-exactly-the-same-heres-who-else-does/#50e0c9371ff9 (http://www.forbes.com/sites/jacquelynsmith/2012/10/05/steve-jobs-always-dressed-exactly-the-same-heres-who-else-does/#50e0c9371ff9) Excerpt: “When you wear something that just feels right, you are confident. And it is also great to have a trademark look. It makes you memorable and distinctive.” Others do it to be more efficient. Take Albert Einstein. It has been reported that the famous physicist bought several versions of the same grey suit because he didn’t want to waste brainpower on choosing an outfit each morning.

Hi, question for the v studly/high swag gErs: any of you ever had a custom shirt made? I'm considering. I've never had a custom shirt made. The only real negatives I'm seeing for this instance are 1) its going to be a solid white shirt and that seems like a lot of extra expense for something that is otherwise very basic and unremarkable and 2) I'll have a tie and jacket on over it most of the time, might lose the jacket at some point in the evening, but otherwise it'll barely be seen.

I'll hang up and listen off air thanks go cats

yes i am oddly proportioned, who cares?
