Still too big brah, they're not even good on your shoulders (they might even be a whole size too big). http://thegloss.com/fashion/how-to-c...-fit-properly/

Just google "slim fit shirt" and look what you like best.

I'd go for





It has to look like you fill up the shirts, show off your figure. There's still plenty of ****ty slim fit pics on the search, but anything like this (↓) or better fit is good




ALSO: only do one shirt the first time, see how it works/post pics and we can still give pointers. But tbh it shouldn't be too hard to tailor a shirt if you do single stitch

[biggquis]

what do you guys think of these boots?

Oliberte Men's Zimbo Boot




Amazon has the dark grey nubuck for about $60 shipped, and the green suede version for $42 shipped.

Limited sizes available for the grey ones though.

Just picked up the last size 12. thanks brah.

Anybody have too many pairs of shoes? I'm in for about 15 or so pairs now. I have shoes, jeans, and a few button ups that actually fit me. Its so hard to let my shirts and other pants catch up to the rest of my wardrobe when I run into sales like this.

[Tovixz]

u gotta wear what suits you. same type of outfit, does this man look 60 to you? (ignore the ridiculous hair)



that poster can't rock this type of outfit then he should opt for something more casual and maybe throw in jeans or lose the tie etc. But the fit and your physique will determine how old you look in these clothes. I wear button down under sweaters all the time and wear it well.

Where would one get sweaters like his?

Thank god I didn't get this email. You have my condolences brah

Two questions Bros:

1. Do the jeans and the shoes work together?

2. What shirt would you recommend with these shoes for a club/bar scene?

[pakmansc300]

Brahs looking for a suit, check out H&M. Yeah yeah I know the quality is ****, but I got a jacket + pants for $85 and $65 more for tailoring = a $150 suit that fits perfectly and gets me compliments like crazy. If you are looking for the greatest style:money ratio, I don't think this route can be beat. Obviously if you're going to be a wearing a suit on a daily basis I doubt it would hold up for long, but most of us use them sparingly. One problem you might encounter is that the H&M pants are made for chicken legs, so include sizing up and tailoring down the waist in the price.

This

I bought a grey suit from H&M and I had the pants hemmed, but left the jacket untouched. I'll have to get the sleeves shortened a bit soon though. I wore the suit to a wedding with my brown AE shoes. Girls were mirin.

[babblingdairy]

pics of u wearing suit pls

Here you go brahs, I wear a size 42R. Had the sides taken in and the sleeves shortened about 3/4 in.

[kyleisraaddd]

Hey guys I got a new shirt what do you think? Hey guys do you like these shoes? Hey guys is this sock/belt ratio good? Hey guys please tell me I look good so I feel better about myself. Hey guys you're my only friends. Hey guys your opinion is the only important one.

Man srs all I see you post is negative ****, you don't even contribute to the thread from what I've seen. Quit your ****ty trolling you might as well come in here and talk about how no one lifts and you'll wear sweatpants and nikes for lyfe and still pull bitches

Thank god I didn't get this email. You have my condolences brah

Thanks :/
I wanted Clark's but didn't really want to buy them. That sale was too good to pass up. Now I was expecting them, so I HAVE to just pay full price :P

Well start by buttoning at least one more of the bottom buttons on your sweater. Yeah shoes go fine, grey would probably work better overall but they still go with it. Add an accessory or undershirt the same color as the shoes.

This one brah?

[swearujacked]

hay guise.

does this work


in the store i thought the pants were lighter navy blue, but they are really dark (almost black). i dunno if they look retarded with beeswax db's or not.

also i need hep finding slim fit pants that have plenty of room in the ass area. i have an enormous ass and pretty thick quads, so pants are usually way too tight around my ass but loose as hell around my ankles

[suave2000]

Here you go brahs, I wear a size 42R. Had the sides taken in and the sleeves shortened about 3/4 in.

the fit of is nice, however the color are dreafull brah, the red is too bright, try that combo with something less bright red, like a red chambray shirt, more pinkish than red. Also the tie is horrible, the colors in it pluss the pattern are just too much, get rid of it and get a plaid one.

i guess you like red, so i'm not going to insist on anyother color, but if you like it take those steps and it'll look 100 times better brah!

Some good info about tailoring shirts

So I was lurking Reddit when I stumbled across one of the members talking about tailoring his own shirt.
This is the method that is used. http://manmadediy.com/chris/posts/63...-a-perfect-fit


His before and after pics can be found here: http://fazeman9.imgur.com/self_tailor#0

I tried this myself with a $20 el cheapo sewing machine, having a bud help me out. I turned an old baggy dress shirt into an amazing, (I'm telling you, I was surprised by the results) fitted/tailored shirt that fits almost identically to this:


Go try it out, if you mess up, you can cut the stitches and you'll be back to where you started.

Wearing a tie that's lighter than the color of your shirt is a big no-no
while we're on the topic of ties, please get rid of the plaid
Otherwise, not bad.

Also, if anybody's looking to emulate Gosling's look in Crazy stupid love, he's wearing a bespoke Martin Greenfield Hunting suit with Givenchy Wingtips and a Gossuin shirt.

nah dawg you be trippin', dat shiy cray. I personally believe that his outfit is exquisite. The whole is clean and neat, with the tie an essential part to break through the monotonous bicolour. The white hankerchief in the chest pocket is also nicely picked, as it matches his tie and thus makes it more constant. I'd burn your opinion and keep pulling that sht off, cause with a nice tan, you can always pull off red.

The tie is a good way of peacocking, drawing eyes to you without looking stupid.

The number one rule of pairing ties and shirts is never, and I truly do mean never, wear a tie that is lighter than the color of your shirt, unless you're going for that wannabe-italian mobster look, which is pathetic really.

[Averydabeast]

Where can i get casual button up collared shirts that fit well for the cheapest? (for reference if anyones seen the movie safehouse I want shirts like the ryan reynolds was wearing)

Lol this was for a "Red Dress" fundraising event where I was escorting a girl in a 'fashion show'. That's why there's so much red. Also, I understand that the tie probably doesn't pass in a high fashion setting, but in a setting of 20somethings, it worked great. I wouldn't wear something this bright and 'costume-y' at a wedding or other formal event.

I appreciate the criticism though brah, reps.

Either go hunting on ebay, or over in the B&S section @ styleforum, or wait until the sales start up again, I was at FCUK in Soho around early January and they had cut their shirts to around $20 a piece.

You really got ripped off paying as much as you did for a H&M suit

I honestly think it depends on the audience. If it's a group of people that know nothing about fashion, bright colors and flashy ties might draw more praise than a more subtle outfit that follows fashion rules. So then it comes to the question of what matters in fashion? If you like the outfit and your audience like the outfit.. can it still be a bad outfit? I don't know the answer. I appreciate the criticism though.

Wasn't aware I could pay less? If there is a way, please do tell me. I'm in need of a gray suit.

Ebay

People buy suits, wear them once or twice, and then eventually find that they no longer need them, and sell it over auction sites like the aforementioned. Finding a proper size is relatively easy, and as long as you make sure you're getting your suit from a reputable seller (I recommend checking in with the folks over at SF) you'll be able to get a Brooks Brothers suit for around roughly as much as you paid for your H&M.. thing. The difference here is that for the same price, you're getting 95%+ wool, far superior fit and finish, and more than likely, half canvassed construction (so much better than that fused crap that most brands are putting out).

Here's something to get you started:

9. (wear 10's in everything else)

I will look into this when I buy my next suit. Also, can a tailor make any suit look slim fitted? From my understanding most of Brooks Brother's line is a little more boxy and classic (noted by the pleated cuffed pants that come with the linked suit) while my H&M suit was slimmer from the start.
