About to go to Macy's and spend around 400 for my first suit. Gonna start with black.

>>17488181
Why waste $400? Save up for enough to get a nice bespoke suit from a nice local men’s clothing store

Charcoal is better than black.

>>17488181
You'd probably be better off trying to thrift for a suit than to buy a fused canvas suit from macy's

>>17488260
charcoal is definitely better than black

>>17487806
ok fine

>>17488288
>>17488260
I should mention I'm 6'6 290lbs so finding something my size at a thrift store is next to impossible
I don't want something too stylish or showy, this set of suits I get will mainly be for going to offices around my town and hocking my business, it should make people feel at ease with me, like I could be their neighbor or golf buddy. I can't style on them too hard.

>>17488296
6’6 & 290lbs means you should get a bespoke suit. Wanting to avoid being too showy means you shouldn’t get a black suit. A black suit only really works at a funeral

>>17488317
I had to Google what bespoke meant, what do you think would be the price range at a local store? I assumed a bespoke suit would be more expensive

>>17488296
You won’t be styling on anyone with a $400 suit, but it should navy or charcoal so you don’t look like a complete punter.

>>17488347
I plan to get a navy suit next. I basically saw this newbie mens suit guide on tiktok and it was all, get first a black suit, then a navy, grey, tan, and brown suits, and you can make a lot of color combinations. I think with 3 different shirts it was like 75 different suits

>>17488343
Maybe $2k? You can probably get cheaper ones online by getting your wife to take your measurements. Nita Fashions makes Gavin McInnes’ suits

>>17488353
You’re going to buy a bunch of low quality suits and then never wear them. Don’t do that. Check out Gentleman’s Gazette and Real Men Real Style on YouTube. Build your “smart casual” wardrobe first since that’s what you’ll wear the most. Go through your existing wardrobe and put away everything that doesn’t fit or that you hate. You’ll probably have a lot left over to kick start a good smart casual wardrobe

>>17488181

Lurk more before buying

>>17488317
Why are you telling him to go bespoke when he could go MTM? It's his first suit, ffs.
>>17488296
>>17488343
You might be surprised by thrift store finds - you don't need to buy an entire suit at once there. I bought a pinstripe suit that the jacket fit, but the legs were long as fuck. A lot of the time there's plenty of jackets and trousers separate, and coming back after stock changes if another chance to find something in your size. Honestly the hardest to find at thrift stores is waistcoats, they will just have way less of them.
If you're set on a new suit, get something MTM- Hokerty, Suit Supply, ect. all do this, where you send them your measurements and make the suit to those specs. The price is higher than off the rack, but still cheaper than bespoke.

Isn’t men’s fashion pretty consistent across Europe and North America? Or do you wear turbans and hijabs now?

I don't recognize him as a person but I recognize his fashion sense

I live in Southern California, what suit material should I get? It's been in the low 60s (F) this week and that's about as cold as it gets, so it should be light and breathable in 80-90 degree weather.

My kids go to a private prep school with uniforms and laundry is easy as fuck
If anything it's easier, you always know exactly how many outfits they have left and know right away when one set is missing
Only issue is how much uniforms cost but if you cared about that you wouldn't be spending $20k per kid on private school

>>17488911
Pretty much the same but overall more traditional clothes and colours. You mostly see it on frat boys, who wear dress shirts, chinos or wool trousers, boat shoes, barbour jackets, horn rimmed glasses and slicked hair.

I just got a pair of amber brown lambswool trousers from O'Connells & Khaki's from the Andover shop. Both are at the tailor right now but they fit true-to-size & have enough room in the legs for someone who doesn't skip leg day. I would recommend both sites, I called both shops and the people we're very helpful over the phone. Look forward to getting some other things from them in the future.

Hey, I have that book too!

>>17490233

It was a fun and intriguing find. Even if it took itself too seriously.

>>17490251
iirc it's from the 90s so it's fair they pat themselves on the back for even trying in the mans fashion realm

Noob question. I got my measurements taken and they said I have a 32" chest. That does not seem to exist as a suit/blazer size. Im slightly short and slender but not a freak of nature, usually i can find clothes that fit. Am i supposed to wear size 34? Or can a size 34 be tailored down to 32?

>>17490974
post body

>>17490974

Go to a Macys/Dillards and start trying on the smallest blazers they offer. Look at the size that fits best, and run with or between the numbers.

Just find something that fits your shoulders and isn't too long, and you should be able to tailor everything else to size.

When it comes to suits, menswear equals womenswear in its strange differences in the same sizes.

>>17491119
Thats the unfortunate thing, the nearest store like that that even sells blazers (besides thrift stores, which definitely wont have my size) is a 90 minute drive. So i plan on ordering them.
>>17491106
Oh for sure, i would love to see the kind of constructive criticism you could give on my nudes.

>>17490974
Not to be rude, but as a kid I wore italian suit brands in small sizes, they tend to run small/slim.
Might be an issue if you are taller than me at that age.
Also try going to the biggest shop there is in your area, a buddy of mine struggled to find a fitting suit until he did that.

Are there any brands that sell dress shirts in athletic fit? I've lost some weight and while the shirts I own fit me well on my shoulders, they look really wide around my abdomen
Or is tailoring shirts from a well-known brand a better option?

>>17492354
I'm thinner as well, and even quality dress shirts advertised as having an "athletic fit" or "skinny fit" are always cut with an excess of fabric. Some say companies do this to show they can afford to use the extra fabric, thus it is an indication of quality. Whatever the case I advise the latter portion of your comment to be followed. Every person's body is different, and unless your shirts are made bespoke, they should be brought to a skilled tailor to ensure a proper fit. If you like the shirts you own now you can just take them to a skilled tailor and get them altered, bringing in the waist and excess fabric overall is quite doable.

>>17492429

Ill go ahead and take that as a compliment. You should see how the chinos look from behind.

>>17490974
just wear 34 dude, it will look fine.
Suits cannot be tailored down a size.
Also, you've probably heard this before, but hit the gym you teenie-weenie dyel twink.
Alain dupetit and Asos have size 32 suits, but those are shitty fast fashion suits that are too short and skinny. Proper proportions will flatter your frame a lot better. The torso of your jacket should reach just below your palms, around your thumb knuckles. Longer, wider pants with a decent half-break will lengthen your legline and keep your shoes from looking big in comparison to the rest of your body.

idk, it depends on your taste. wide lapels can tend to make you look smaller and narrower in comparison, though
looks like a good jacket though, probably worth it anyway
>>17493912
sounds like a plan.

>>17488260
>Save up for enough to get a nice bespoke suit
biggest seethe out there. you can get proper suits for $400-$700 and it will fit you well as long as you don't have the body of a 12 years old teener girl. but I guess bespoke is an option for men with a weird body.

I don't have any job interviews at the moment but I may in the future, and my only suit is this black polyester garbage. I'm looking at getting a charcoal suit but I'm wondering what the etiquette would be on wearing a blazer and separate pants to something like a finance job interview. Is there anything I should know? And what sorts of pants would go well with a charcoal blazer?

Is a blazer + trousers somehow less formal than an actual suit? I mean, do you think it could be seen as sloppy or something like that?

>>17489565

Nah it's just one I found on the internet and thought was worthy of saving for inspo. Like I said in the post though you can always call either place if you have questions about fit. Trousers can be tailored too.

>>17491880
Try hunting/country shops in the uk. Places like House of Bruar ship overseas. Any country clothing shop will have 100% wool tweed trousers. If you want cheap plastic fashion trousers then aliexpress will probably have them for much cheaper.

>>17495191
It's actually very real. He talks about it in his autobiography, My Life, which I highly recommend. Essentially, Mosley traveled to the US in '26 to study its industry. FDR contacted them out of the blue at their NY hotel, inviting them to meet him. They then went down to Florida to do some fishing on FDR's boat. Mosley admired FDR, noting his "Greek" beauty (which he juxtaposed to Eleanor's complete lack of beauty) and conviction. I attached another picture from the book.

Ok, heres an autistic idea:
I basically have figured out the exact style I like, and I'm gonna commit to building my wardrobe to facilitate wearing this exact style almost every day.

This pic rocks, the mixture of colors and patterns is boldly 80s but the pieces still feel classic and preppy. Where do you guys find these old ads?

>>17488181
Please ignore the people telling you to go straight to bespoke or MTM for your first suit. The only caveat there is that since you are quite big you may not fit nicely into off the rack stuff. Mall type stores like Macy's serve the purpose of letting you try on the suit and have an SA guide you. That said, most of those SAs suck, which is why I would suggest the following, if you have the patience:
-go to macy's and try on some suits. Figure out what size fits you best
-order that size and maybe one bigger size from either suitsupply or spier and mackay (just get the cheapest ones they offer). Make it dark navy or grey/chacoal. Black is not primarily a business color, while dark blue and grey can be used for most occasions
-Try them on at home, ask your dad for specific feedback, post a full body picture here
-keep the one that fit best, send the others back. Take your new suit to the tailor for minor adjustments like hemming
-If none of them fit well enough, then consider MTM. This is higher risk higher reward and if possible should be done in person.

>>17496443
Thanks.

>>17495479

>>17490974
I wear a size 34, have a 35" chest, 29 inch waist am 5'8" tall and get my shirts with a 16.5" shoulder. I think your plan to order something to try on and return it is good (im sure the quality will be horrible). If you have wide enough shoulders, then you can definitely get away with wearing a bigger size than your chest measurement suggests. You can't tailor down a size in most cases. There's definitely places that sell size 32. I think suitsupply does, and definitely asian brands. Might take some searching and you'll have to buy online and return if it doesn't work out.

>>17494007
They are on the wide side, especially for someone as thin as you must be. That said I don't think the width would be an issue when paired appropriately. The bigger issue for me is how low the gorge (v shaped gap between the top of the lapel and the bottom of the collar) is. That is a dated feature and will make that particular jacket harder (though not impossible) to wear

>>17491896
shoulder looks big too? good colors

>>17492354
If they fit in the shoulders you can get them tailored. If you think you'll gain weight again, just dont make them as slim as you are now - leave some room. There are definitely brands that sell slim and athletic fits for different body types too

>>17495479

I've received my first made-to-measure shirt from Kamakura in the Ivy League style with their "Botanical" fabric. Any tips on how to wash and dry it at home? Which detergents should I use? Obviously, don't use hot water or tumble dry. How do I iron it without damaging it?

>>17495552
I disagree with the other poster. I actually quite like it. It has a nice ticket pocket which I like on my suits, I wouldn't really go for the color pattern personally. It is certainly not a conservative jacket so you can't really be expecting it to not look bold, it's all about what looks nice.

The orange blocks are slightly on the larger side so they will also make you look shorter which is probably not what you want if you are on the shorter side.

>shitting up
also if my style isn't tip then where am i supposed to post or talk about it? Like it or not, even if it's deliberately zany, it's still fairly /tip/, at least as far as I'm concerned. If my brown suit (which i've posted a lot) was the same pattern and color, but better quality and less of a trendy cut, it'd be totally /tip/, at least greatly /tip/-inspired, and so would my shirts, ties and my shoes, as pointy as they are.
And to be honest, isn't everything here not so much /tip/ as it is /tip/ inspired? The context that shaped ivy style and especially trad style largely no longer exists. Prep is the only one of the trio that's survived contextually, and even then, i went to an actual POLO event recently (as a casual security guard, not as an attendee), and the fits and cuts of what those people wore is the sort of trendy modern shit you people would scoff at. It's the same way people call an outfit "punk" or "dandy" despite it being a largely vestigial bit of cultural language based off a movement that was very dependent on the sociopolitical context of it's time.
None of you are totally, perfectly /tip/. You are styling modern clothes after inspiration from books and photos about /tip/. What I'm doing intentionally, you are also doing without treating it as such. Thats my two cents anyway.

theres a lot of grey area between "cosplay" and dressing in a real -life style and who can truly know for sure where they are on that scale? what would make it less cosplay-ish? wes anderson does kinda the same thing with his suits, having them made all in more-or-less the exact same cut, as well as having a formula to his style that he executes with nigh-autistic consistency.
also, bowties suddenly aren't /tip/?. I'm suprised you said to ditch those instead of the winklepickers or sneakers. But still, to say that canvas sneakers have never been a part of ivy or preppy style would be disingenuous.
>ditch the loud socks

I find it sorta weird how people in these circles will poo-poo things like geometric socks, bowties, or suits for being too loud, but see things like bright red suspenders (>>17497850), bright red socks, madras check, go to hell pants, and clusterfucks like this >>17495191 as totally fine, based even. Like, I said the socks would match the color-scheme of the outfit.
as far as i can tell, theres almost nothing about this fit >>17493549 that makes it not /tip/, besides the 4 button closure.
I feel like you guys just instinctively call it cringe because you know its from doctor who, which is in the site-wide 4chan shitlist for being a tumblr show or whatever and as such you have to speak against it
>>17493551
the same could be said about the slouchy oversized fits from 80s ralph lauren magazines you like so much
>>17493570
>I hate the dark brown on dark blue. It is muddy. It doesn’t look /tip/
AND THIS DOES?? >>17495191

>>17495481
you aren't the first to say this kinda shit and you won't be the last, which i can only take as a sort of cosmic compliment on my end and a sign i'm going in the right direction
i feel like people who single other people out for "trying to hard to be different out of insecurity", are themselves insecure about how well they fit in with others.
did it ever occur to you that maybe I literally am just that different?
and maybe that, by very virtue of being here on this board, we are all trying to get attention and "trying" to be different?
also, post fit if you're so cool.
Talk shit about me all you want, but at least i'm not like the other insufferable lunatics and tripfags on this board that never post fit. I ALWAYS post fit

ewwww the whiny faggot is schizo posting

>>17502241
>did it ever occur to you that maybe I literally am just that different?
Yeah I'm sure you are, it's not a phase mom this is really who I am!
>but at least i'm not like the other insufferable lunatics and tripfags on this board that never post fit
Nobody is asking you to post anything. In fact you've been spamming your ugly wacky clown-like pictures for months and going on long diatribes about inane shit for no reason despite pretty much everyone telling you to go away.
Instead of taking the hint and realizing that nobody wants you on this thread, you keep doubling down and posting your weird ill fitting shit as if 'posting a fit' is some kind of virtuous endeavor regardless of what you post.

I say you are starved for attention because I see no other reason why someone would go out of their way to act like you do. Going on /tip/ or style forum which are relatively slow forums/threads compromised of short posts and stylish pictures to spam your obviously awful bozo tier pics, unable to ever taking advice and instead going every time on long rants about how you are actually in the right.
Imagine you are at a formal event like a wedding or funeral and this weird balding teenager who looks like he's in his 40s with bleached hair, tiny sunglasses, bowtie, piss bright yellow shirt, oversized pointy shoes and purple and pink socks starts lecturing people on random crap. Most people at first would think this is some kind of weird joke, maybe even laugh a little, but then after realizing this person is serious would probably ask him to leave, call security or leave themselves because this guy has ruined the event. This is you.
Were you home schooled? Because you are either starved for attention like I previously mentioned or absolutely socially inept and most likely half retarded.

Please don't post here again

>>17502267

>it's still fairly /tip/, at least as far as I'm concerned
You're wrong.
>where am i supposed to post or talk about it?
Not our job to figure that out, fuckstick.
>at least greatly /tip/-inspired,
Moving the goalposts before you even get called on your BS.
>What I'm doing intentionally, you are also doing without treating it as such.
Oh good job man, be a condescending ass to the people you're trying to convince should put up with your stupid shit. I really appreciate you showing your true colors as a stuck-up egomaniac, it's really very amusing how desperate for attention you are while also thinking you're better than everyone else. Because let's be clear, you aren't doing this shit for style, you're doing it for attention, because no one fucking likes you. And who would? You're a pretentious, condescending, annoying, stupid, braying jackass. Now stop derailing threads with your bullshit, if we had decent mods you'd be banned already.

>>17502522
Yeah, i could tolerate this guy if he just posted silly fits and left like the Matrix guy, but instead he writes these long ass posts trying to justify himself and criticizing OUR taste as if he has a leg to stand on. Just fuck off until you've grown up a bit kid.

>>17502267

>>17502588
I think you should keep typing paragraphs of nonsense at him, that will solve the problem. He surely won't respond with his own paragraph of nonsense.

>>17502598
I think you should keep posting your limp dicked 'enlightened centrist' replies about how both sides are le bad and parroting the 'ignore him and he will go away' advice your absent father gave you before transitioning

>>17502617
Keep seething retard. You're really improving the quality of the thread. That is what you were upset about, right?

>>17502232
maybe I was a bit harsh on you. At one point I actually kind of liked you, too. You do at least seem to be genuine and you put effort into your posts which is more than can be said for most of the board, but /tip/ is definitely not about being zany at least not for me and I'm sure for the majority of posters here

And in any case you've made far more than one post by now, anyway. imagine going in to a store like j.press and looking like a clown and asking about wearing beat up converse, that's what you're doing. respect that you post fits but honestly this thread is not the place to do so, feel free to make your own thread, some of us might actually post in it (and not be assholes). But if you come in to a general like this you're not helping your case, you're just causing people to dislike you, people who otherwise might even have had something nice to say to you. Just make your own thread. It's not like you'll bump off anything good, anyway.

alrighty, thanks for the advice
>feel free to make your own thread, some of us might actually post in it (and not be assholes)
what would a thread like that even be called? and would anyone actually post in it?
last time i tried making my own general thread (/tsc/ - thrift store chic) it always got derailed by all the jackasses bitching and moaning about me because god forbid i do anything
Also, a lot of the "clownishness" you get from how I dress comes down to the fact that I'm short, so my proportions always look fucked, and my current wardrobe is cheap in a way that obscures my interest in this style of dress. I really do aspire to dress more /tip/ and have everything i wear be in a more classic cut, fabric, and style, but its a long road before that becomes an option. maybe it's just on me for being one of the poorfags this thread tries to keep out.
>>17502556
i'm not criticizing your taste at all, i like /tip/ and all the fits posted here, i'm just saying that i'd like it if you could acknowledge my sense of style as within the bounds of /tip/, because i think it's as good of a place to post my fits as any, but i don't want all the whiners derailing the thread over my outfits to become a permanent fixture, so for that reason alone it's probably better if i didn't.

Time to hide this thread

>>17502902
Your "style" is not "within the bounds of /tip/". You seem to have mistaken this as a thread for any kind of tailoring or menswear. But in reality the acronym means "trad/ivy/prep". Just wearing a suit does not mean you fit into any of those styles. And from your previous comments on "slouchy clusterfucks", it doesnt seem like you understand or appreciate that style. So theres no need to try to fit in here or somehow debate us into liking your style. Arguing with people will never change their mind, they either think the look works or they don't, your justifications cant do anything to change our perception.

Also, Im a poorfag compared to most posters here and still get complimented on my fits all the time. Being poor is not an excuse for looking like a retard.

Jannies just range ban the tripfag

>>17501801
Sounds too oriental

I have a black jacket idk what to do with. It’s super 100 wool. Can I use this as a blazer?

>>17503102
>black
bin it

>>17503148
I think it was originally intended to be a blazer, though. I don’t have a matching pair of trousers. What I thought were the trousers were actually made of cotton, not wool

Can’t I wear it with a white shirt and a pair of khakis on a date?

>>17502902
>i don't want all the whiners derailing the thread over my outfits to become a permanent fixture,
If this was actually true youd have stopped posting a long time ago, lying shit stain

>>17503159
You might be able to pull it off with gray trousers, but not khakis

Who wears Paul Start clothing?

>>17504161

well
i've been thinking, and honestly maybe this fashion stuff was a waste of my time
i don't belong to any group whatsoever, and the only group of people I would have wanted the respect of fucking hate me.
I tried to cope away the fact that I'm just fundamentally incapable of looking good no matter what i wear for so long, but it was always going to stare me in the face eventually.
I don't hate you guys, nor did I really take any of your criticisms to heart. A lot of what you've said is stuff I already knew, deep down.
You live in your world, with your tastes and interests, and I live in mine. I was never going to be part of your world. I'm not some refined scholar, businessman, or rich kid. I'm a broke, terminally online autist who happened to develop a fixation on menswear despite it having no purpose or relevance to his life, if you can call this shit a life.
You're right, I'm cosplaying. I don't belong in a sport coat and ocbd i belong in fucking pyjama pants and a graphic tee like all the other degenerates.
I'm short, my face looks like shit and i have no money, no muscle, no life.
I still think my taste in fashion fucking rocks, but the fictionalized version of myself i imagined wearing it isn't me. nothing looks good on me and i should just focus on throwing a marginally better life together and getting in shape for the sake of my health, not for an aesthetic ideal i'll never reach.

>>17505308
is J Crew really in the same tier as uniqlo?

>>17496443
What about suit separates? Is it okay at all to mix them or is that a no-go?

>>17505849
Quality wise no. They're both in the wimpy collar tier though

>>17505839
>I don't want to derail the thread
>doesn't stop posting
this is why I called you a lying shitstain

>>17505853
That’s called spezzato

>>17506055
And I assume that isn't something I'd want to wear to an interview, right? Only reason I'm asking is I wanted to get a secondhand suit and have it altered to save money over buying new and from what I've seen online in my size there are a lot of suit jackets without the pants being sold.

Can I get a navy double breasted suit and wear the jacket as a blazer?

>>17506070
It depends on what location, industry, and position you’re interviewing for. Software engineer for a tech firm on the west coast? Wear a hoodie

>>17506074
Finance. I asked earlier in the thread about a jacket + trousers vs. suit and was told to go with the suit but I wanted to clarify if it'd be okay to try buying suit separates but it seems like it's a bad idea.

>>17505308
I was thinking about it, and the J Press OCBD is actually not a bad deal. Companies that outsource, use synthetics, have bad collars/cuts, or just not enough classic designs still charge like $80-100 for their OCBD's. For $50 more you can get one that's cut perfectly and still made in the USA by a quality company. Ive had a bad habit of being cheap, but really with this stuff its better to invest in something that will please you rather than something you might regret.

Although, I just ordered a custom OCBD from Ratio, and that seems like a great deal, especially for MTM. The fabric I got was only $80 (most are $100+). You can choose an unlined "Fitzgerald collar" for the classic big roll look. Its still being made so i cant speak for the quality, but Ive seen guys wearing their shirts and they look really good.

>>17506080
Wear a charcoal or navy suit with a micro pattern or Repp stripe tie. Wear black Oxford shoes and a black leather belt. Gentleman’s gazette is a good resource

>>17506083
Also, i dont really understand why it is seemingly so difficult for lower-end companies to just make good collar rolls. The construction must just be a solved science at this point, just cut the collar with the right measurements. And you do need a tiny bit more fabric, but i wouldnt think it's so much as to make the shirt out of their desired price range. And i would think that would be worth it to attract more savvy customers to their product. Maybe their designers are just incompetent or ignorant, or they dont think theres enough enough savvy customers to make any attempt at authenticity worth it.

Holy shit this has been a great sperg thread

>>17505849
yes
>>17506072
no
>>17506083
J.Press is pretty shit desu, they only stock a few items worth buying
>>17506095
because unlined collars take more work
>>17506309
its a dead general for a reason

>>17506342
maybe it would be better if there was just a more general suits and tailoring thread, you know.
like, trad, ivy, and prep are labels for a pretty niche title that most people don't intuitively understand. I mean, hey, we made it past 200 replies, if thats anything.
I know this whole group of people is super autistic about gatekeeping, but i'm not sure if theres enough people to justify them hogging an entire thread to themselves and telling anyone who comes in here wearing anything that isn't strictly /tip/ to gtfo (like this doug mf, as annoying as he is)
we could all probably discuss the exact same shit in such a thread, we just wouldn't have to worry about it dying so frequently

then again we'd have to deal with yet another batch of poorfags asking where to buy cheap pleated high waist pants for the 378496th time so theres definitely downsides to such a plan.

>>17506445
no, menswear dies on 4chan

>>17487422
Are ties absolutely mandatory while still rocking a british suit in conservative environments, or is that sprezz territory?
I just don't see the practicality of them.
If i want to wear something, it HAS to have a purpose, not just wear it for the sake of it, but also don't want to deviate from timeless etiquette.

>>17506445

Jesus christ the autism just doesn't stop in these threads

>>17507043
>>17507221
thought so.
I still consider myself relatively new regarding formal wear.
Suits used to seem boring to me, but after looking at its history, and comparing british(good for business), american(abomination), and italian(casual and date nights) styles, they can become awesome tools.
Thankfully archives still exist.
It's not even worth looking at current posts nowadays, with arrogant anons like >>17507177 who are probably closeted homosexuals, and try to impress old money.

>>17507332
he's right, you're wrong. stick to lurking of you think suits without ties are /tip/

This general has been so shit for so long that I actually had to start going out to menswear events just for good discussion, and now I work in the industry. So I guess thanks for being so shitty I was forced to find a better existence.

The other guy isn't me, but all I did is show up to a sample sale and from there I became friendly with a lot of people who work in the business. From there I was going to invite only events(these usually have free drinks) that happen very often usually to celebrate a new store opening or a new collab. Eventually a job opportunity came my way so I figured why not and took it. It's actually funny how few people work for these big names so everyone knows each other.
>>17508205

These boots are shit. Get some better shoes. They ruin most of your looks
Your trousers are too skinny and most of your ties look cheap.
Otherwise good stuff anon

>>17510502
I dont mind slimmer pants like his, but they really shouldnt be worn with boots. Makes the shoes look too big in proportion.

r8 the business casual fit

My first sport jacket arrived today. Sadly, its not long enough. Its a couple inches short of covering my behind. Sleeves are a little short too. But what do you guys think of the fit of it otherwise? Do the shoulders and chest look good? Could i still make this work somehow with tailoring?

ll bean blucher Mocs effay?
I feel like they are to be used in the same fits as desert boots but are just much better looking.

>>17510940
kek i told you >>17495689

>>17510962
Well i thought the measurements were alright, but clearly i misunderstood.
What about the rest though? The collar rests right on my shirt collar so that seems right. The shoulders, they look right to me but they could be a little off, i just dont know. And should the sleeves wrinkle that much in movement, or is that off?

>>17510940
My eyes continue to evolve but the shoulders look good to me, I'm a big fan of natural / unstructured shoulders. Jacket does seem to hug your body too, so it's not terribly boxy which is a good thing. A tailor should be able to lengthen the sleeves, just go to one who speaks decent English (or whatever language is native to your country). My experience in the US is that asian's usually don't charge very much but the quality of work isn't very good, and they will refuse to make certain alterations because they do not have the skill to. I took a few shirts that were too baggy to one and he told me he couldn't do anything to fix it. Went to another (albeit immigrant) lady who spoke better English and she was able to make the alterations I wanted no problem. Point is shop around and don't be afraid to walk out if you feel uncomfortable. I'm not sure about adding length to the jacket as a whole, but I cannot conceive of how that would be accomplished. Worth asking though. I do like the pattern you choose.

>>17510239
assuming you're a biological woman
i think it looks good, way different from what others wear and i think that would attract more interest

>>17510940
Jacket is too small for you

>>17498503
>bought a very (ankle) long woolen skirt on a whim
>have no idea how to make a fit with it without looking like a granny
I think long wool skirts look great with button ups and pullovers or turtlenecks. Embrace the granny look.
>inspo
This depends on what kind of look you're going for but I think Isabelle Adjani, Anna Karina, some of Francoise Hardys outfits and Iréne Jacobs outfits in La Double Vie de Veronique/Red are great for inspo. Vintage magazines which you can find in any thrift store are also great for inspo.

>>17510239
It's a good base, but I'm not 100% on the jacket. Zippers might be a bit too modern for a /tip/ fit – if you could find something similar but with buttons it'd fit better. Also, footwear could make or break this. Which kind are you using?

>>17511460
>Zippers might be a bit too modern for a /tip/ fit – if you could find something similar but with buttons it'd fit better
I agree, I'll see what I can find next time I go shopping.
>Which kind are you using?
Picrel

>>17511462
Not bad, but I think they also lean a bit modern. Maybe some loafers would do it?

whats the best leg opening on a pair of pants if i'm going for a cuffed half-break over size 40 EU shoes? going for something like picrel

>>17510623
not bad but I don't like that quarter zip that much, I think a darker color would have been better.

>>17511493
Don't have any but if I find some decent ones then I'll try them with the outfit.

>>17511415

Cant really judge a fit when you only post 1/4 of it bro

Any ivyish fits for summer that involve
>no layers
>no tucked in shirt
>no shorts
I like the ivy look but it only works in November-January here.
What can I do for the hotter weather?
I also feel too dressed up if my shirts tucked in while I’m just walking around town (please don’t crucify more for this, it’s somewhat arbitrary on my part). I also don’t do shorts because my calves are tiny as hell.
Best I could come up with was something like:
>short sleeve polo or henley in light but neutral color.
>warm weather chinos or similar pants in a more breathable fabric. Neutral colors- brown, tan, cream, etc.
>boat shoes/laced mocs
>maybe some argyle socks if I want to add a little flare.
Any thoughts or recommendations?

>>17512020
Never henley, go with polos and rugbies.
Neutral colors? Summer is the time for fun pastel chinos.
Get woven belts with colors or embroidering for flair.

>>17512090

Are Mod Shoes /tip/?
https://www.modshoes.co.uk/

>>17512090
Best summer polo brands?
I like my polos “athletic fit” if you will.
My actual polo Ralph Lauren polo is very loose fitting and looks very unflattering.
I like shirts to kind of hug me a bit. I especially hate when the sleeves are loose.

>>17512134
>tagline is "smart shoes for smart people"
No. They seem to offer Loake which is a half-way decent brand, but the majority of their offering is catering towards alt fashion styles (mod/skinhead/punk) and at a suspicious price point. What I mean by that is that you get a lot of cheaply made polished "leather" shoes at that price point that are "made in spain/italy/portugal". They're usually nothing to write home about in terms of quality and honestly you can find the exact same stuff cheaper if you buy it secondhand or nwt on marketplaces. The leather quality is very plasticky and won't break in very well. You're going to feel the lack of quality as soon as you put it on your feet. It won't be comfortable. Don't bother with these kind of companies. Save up for something nice secondhand.

What do we think about incorporating some military surplus articles of clothing within a more /tip/ outfit? I recently got a pair of OG-107 military fatigue pants and I feel like it could honestly work pretty well with a nazy blazer, loafers etc. Do any of you guys do this?
