Sperrys & Polos: Christmas Vacation

[jkeithc82]

I will say that you will never see this soldier wearing madras or critter anything, too much for me.

I told my wife to get me some seersucker pajama pants with lobsters on them from Brooks Brothers for Christmas.

COME AT ME BRO

I wear Chucks/Jack Purcells with blazers and jeans all the time...haven't worn "dress shoes" out, well, ever.

Well, he said white sneakers, so I wasn't sure exactly what that meant.


And secondly, it can definitely be done. But you have to really know what you're doing. You seem to know what you're doing judging from pics you've posted before.


Saying you're going to wear blazer with sneakers is a big opportunity to look like crap if you aren't 100% sure of what you're doing.

Second pic is legit. Looks good.

Jeans + tie is a no in my book. If its formal enough to wear a tie it is too formal for jeans if its casual enough to wear jeans then a tie looks obnoxious with it.

The problem is he's wearing a tie with a sweater which can look good but usually fails

Tie (WOOL NOT SILK) + jeans + tweed jacket & tattersall shirt is standard stuff

Wearing a patterned silk tie with a dull plain business shirt and jeans is boring / funky looking

true, I guess Chucks/Purcells aren't really run of the mill "sneakers"... I agree it needs to be done with caution, as it can def look like sh!t if you do it wrong.

I think a pair of black chucks or sambas can work with a blazer and nice shirt when trying to dress down the look. Very true on being careful though as a pair of everyday bulky white shoes/sneakers would look like crap.

[tweedbrah]

It depends on the blazer. Classic sneakers will fit much better with an slim unlined linen blazer than with a padded, structured sack which is on the long side.

I just came all over your post... brb getting paper towels.

[karas]

not sure how S&P this is, but this is basically what I'm striving for..

This is pretty great, I have a moto type jacket similar to that (except it's black) that I've been wearing most of fall. I'm really liking the rich shawl-type sweaters too. Where get?

J Crew has a ton, I've picked up a couple this year. very nice.

that picture basically sums up my style, except I usually wear denim instead with almost everything. very rarely do I bust out my cords or chino's, but if the outfit calls for it, I make the necessary changes.

[dekd]

Anyone know any good jackets in the 100$ish range??

Will rep

[pro11skj]

Just got kept on at my seasonal job making some decent money compared to my friends. Time to make some money for dat der fashion.

[Indians79]

lemme know what yous think:




takin the gf to nyc to see circus soliel, n a lil dinner after.. she was thinkin of more relaxed so dunno if the jeans work (could obviously do without the tie to casualize)

I would say it's all good except personally i would just drop the tie. Otherwise, solid brah.

[ivyleaguester]

Greek Elite,

Wear a different color shirt, pea-green ? cmon brah. Also, with the jeans photo, that tie knot is way too big.

[daiawa]

I have to go to some birthday thing tonight, and im out of town so I dont have much to work with




Will beeswax dbs


stone milano cut bb chinos


now I need to figure out what color shirt, I only have basically gray and blue polos with me.



Its not really a formal event

[lostinnd]

Any help here? Thanks

What is the S&P business casual look for winter? I have a few interviews coming up and I was told business casual dress. I am thinking a plaid ocbd, v-neck sweater, my merlot AE's, and chinos. Would corduroys work? I am an engineer but the jobs are pretty casual field positions not big time office ones.

I agree this would look better then what he is doing but i'm still not personally a fan of the Jean/tie combo.

I do agree a different tie and shirt would serve him better.

Can you guys give me a good shoe to go with this outfit? And how do you guys button up the peacoat? I just go for the middle two. Aware me whats goin on misc.



and on a seperate note, what do you think of these?....

I can pick up a pair for $50.00, they are very comfortable too.
or I can pick up some beesewax clarks DSB for right around the same price.

[thonez]

I think those boots are alright, and being Clarks they'll be comfy. There are so many different boot shapes and styles, it's down to personal taste.

Keep them brown and just follow your gut feeling on what looks classy & good taste and non-Guidoish.

Peacoat looks fine with middle two buttoned. First button to be open is the bottom, followed by the top, followed lastly by the middle.

Any brahs in here rockin some stylish eyeglasses?

I wear contacts for almost all of the day and ill take em out a couple hours before i go to bed and just rock these beater glasses i have. But ive been trying to pick up a newer more stylish pair to wear more often.

So, any suggestions?

love the pea. what brand and what size? do you have a link? I am the same build as you, so I think that size would be perfect for me.
thanks!

you have the pea buttoned correctly. now sure how many buttons you have. but if it gets colder you can upturn the collar to cover your neck area. typically there is at least 1 more botton at the very top to allow you button up the top collar.

[Nivra]

pinpoint, wut da mean?

white shirt with stripes.

dont get a striped suit. solid is the way to go for interviews.

Below is the pair I'm considering:

[Pumping_iron200]

Also just a heads up, Brooks Brothers is having their after xmas sale starting Dec. 26. Dress shirts are 3 for $159, other stuff is up to 40% off.

Cool i'll def. check that out.


Plz aware me of any other after christmas sales, will rep. I'm thinking of just getting cash for christmas and then do all the shopping afterwards.

Pinpoint Oxford - simply a finer weave for an oxford shirt. Not as casual as a plain OCBD.
