Why the next question doesnt deserve its own thread?

1. what are possible, frequently used names for the color of these pants?
2. also, where to buy a chino with this color (not cargo as depicted, just plain chino)?
3. how to stop excessively thinking about one's face being ugly?

Would you wear shiny dress shoes casually?

>>17575583
If you wanted to create a hybrid dressy - casual looking fit, e.g., blue or dark denim with black mock / turtleneck + black leather belt and shiny black or oxblood Oxford brogues. This could be an example.

>>17575591

>>17573958
Every little random thought I have deserve a thread.

uhhh ... what is the origin of the codpiece

>>17574401
>1. what are possible, frequently used names for the color of these pants?
dark olive or maybe slate grey depending on warm/cool undertones
>2. also, where to buy a chino with this color (not cargo as depicted, just plain chino)?
Everlane's slate grey and beech colors are similar though maybe lean a little cooler and warmer. beech i would say is closest.
>3. how to stop excessively thinking about one's face being ugly?
don't stop thinking about them. let the thoughts go through your head, acknowledge their existence, and then move on. it's the only way to make them lose their power over you.
at the same time, improve your self-confidence a bit. make a mental list of things you like about yourself and do well. skills, style, personality, etc.

60% cotton 40% polyester for $30 hoodie. good or nah? or just whats a good quality fabric composition for tops around $50?

What Brand of Jacket can a guy with a shirt Torso wear? It just looks dumb when it's halo way over your Bum.

>>17575799
...a shorter jacket.
peacoats can be on the shorter side. cropped jackets, depending on how cropped they are, may work too.

>>17576050
Never seen a short Peacoat. Even so they're too smart for me. Don't want something trashy either, a nice looking thin Down jacket would be good. Some of the stuff they have at Snowpeak is nice.

I know this site is all dropshipped, but how do I find the source

Also are the prices reasonable?
around 40 dollars for a 50cm long 7mm rope chain seems decent right

Will you provide me with some key words for custom footware for many google searches?
I'll not tell you what I want because fuck you. Searches only seem to come up with leather workers and etsy lvl modders. Do you have any recommendations for searches about full custom and functional footware?

I'm still a poor student and most of the clothes I own are shit quality and ugly, now I'm working and have a tiny bit of money in my hands but I still feel extremely bad spending them on clothes that are more on the expensive side (or on clothes at all) because that's how I was raised.
I've bought some nice stuff recently, but I have so little clothes in my wardrobe that I *actually* like. And fucking thrift stores are overpriced now, how can I look fa while still having a cheap immigrant mentality, if even possible?

Tiktok girls keep making fun of people wearing skinny jeans, so I have to stop be cool or is this a niche chronically online take and normie guys still wear slim/skinnies?

Asking because I’m a very skinny manlet so this change in trends upsets me.

Pants back then were basically wool leggings with an open crotch, often laced to the doublet, so the codpiece both covered the sack and made it easier to piss/fuck

>>17579153
It's the (not so) new mainstream trend, typically brought on by the young, if you're in your teens or early twenties, it may be relevant. Also, it's online drama. You get comments, attention, clicks for drama and controversy. That being said, at the latest when you've passed your early twenties, or generally, actual skinny (not just slim fit) pants are not a professional clothing choice. Neither are baggy pants, of course.

What do you wear at a club? For da hoes? I guess black jeans and white shoes, but what do I wear up top? T-Shirt? What kind? Do I tuck it in?

Anyanon know where I can cop this shirt?

>>17574401
1. RAL 7013, brown grey, Austrian feldgrau.

2. If you have unissued surplus trousers, you can seamrip and remove the cargo pockets. I've done so on a pair and its a far more casual look. If its a used pair, the dye will remain darker on the fabric underneath the pockets.

3. Sorry bud, can't help you there.

Can someone explain me the rules on socks? Like, when am I supposed to wear white socks, when black socks, when no show socks.

My lil question: How do you know when you have enough fuckin' clothes? Are what point is the wardrobe simply full?

Ive got a few ,
I like the pants in the picture that I posted , they are Levis. I know the sticky doesnt say anything about levis , but I am wondering if these pants are acceptable? ( I also have some gift cards to levis ) additionally , smart watches? are they appropriate for someone in their 30's or should I just stick with a weekender?

what shoes should i have? for context, i feel like my approach to getting new shoes (and most clothing items in general) has been an autistic obsession with maximizing versatility, getting one pair of shoes that i can wear with as many outfits/on as many occasions as possible. however, i feel like this has created a situation in which i just have one very boring pair of sneakers and then a pair of black oxfords that i can wear on formal occasions.

is there a magic number or a good target number of shoes i could own to solve this problem? for context i'm a 31 year old boomer in a mild climate

Thoughts/opinions on gingham?
I wear mostly collared shirts, a lot are gingham printed in colors I like (like pic rel). Was gonna buy some more, but my tailor told me gingham/plaid was not in style and I should go for shirts with like a smaller dot print, or something like a dot print, but maybe like a leaf or geometric shape or something.

Thoughts? Is gingham lame? I like it

Are tassel loafers an acceptable option for a loafer? I have two pairs of penny loafers already but i need some variety since i'm wearing them every day.

pic unrelated, just a template

>>17588901
Gingham / plaid is classic for collared sport shirt, but so are subtle subdued patterns (leaf, polka dot, or palm tree etc.) or stripes. Color, style, pattern, texture variety is great asset in wardrobe.

>>17588992
Definitely tassel loafers especially in black and oxblood are a dressy staple in slip-on dress shoes.

Is there any real difference between a cheap shoehorn and an expensive one?

>>17588992
>Are tassel loafers an acceptable option for a loafer?
Yes, especially in suede or cordovan.
>>17589114
It's just going to come down to what material it's made of. I wouldn't worry about it and wouldn't spend a lot on one.

Do I dress to look younger or embrace the mature guy look?

>>17589224
Depends, do people confuse you for a young person? Are you an asian person that doesn't seem to age?
If it's obvious you're older, don't dress like a young person it's cringe. Don't have to wear a suit or anything, just don't wear streetwear clothing associated with exclusively immature people

>>17589256
People think I still look mid to late 20s but I'll be visible older than all the kids regardless.

>>17575716
I just wouldn't buy plastic besides nylon. Only exceptions would be if it's a really unique piece (i.e. not a hoodie) or for utility like waterproof jackets, windbreakers, etc.

>>17578349
You can do it with any rise if the pength of the shirt is enough, but it's generally a pain in the ass to do it with anything less than midrise.
We don't know your frame or measurements, so 11 inches means jackshit

imo best place to start is just at the thrift. just wear a wife beater and a hoodie and try on whatever catches your eye. look out for linen, seersucker, hemp, poplin fabrics, and shirts with camp collars

Any of you guys have a list of basics that everyone should have? Trying to move away from autismcore. Assume I only have a basic pair of white sneakers (nike af1 '07) now. Don't want anything too flashy, or with big designs (no graphic tees). My build is fairly slim and lean / ottermode. In particular, I'd like some recommendations for another pair of shoes, and some pants. Want something I can order online, not going in store for anything.

>>17590550
Get a pair of black superstar

>>17590550
most online stores have recs what's trending this season, which other items go with the one you chose etc. - it's difficult to recommend you something, when we don't know anything about you and your build - that would be something for you own thread, where you post a picture of you

I'm just ending a bulk and starting a cut so don't really have any pictures to show. Here's a picrel I found online which is pretty much where my physique is at. I'm 6'0, short torso, long legs.

What kind of pants should I wear at around 174cm? I have naturally muscular legs and my legs are longer than my torso. I realize now that slim/tapered fit pants don't look that flattering on me as they end up hugging my legs too much esp. around the calves.

I'm guessing at my height I should accentuate my longer legs right? Also, any suggestions about what kind of pant rise I should aim for?

Any reccs for a good high quality waxed canvas messenger bag? I was using some Patagonia thing before but its ripping and I want an upgrade.

Can I pull off wearing the same outfit every day if I think it looks good? It would be a pretty neutral color palate and of course the actual clothes would be different, it would just be the same type of clothing. Think of SpongeBob having a closet filled with copies of the same outfit.

Is it worth buying clothes from Aliexpress?
I know there's a lot of shit tier trash on there in any category, but with some research I've found good deals on tech stuff so I thought can all clothes stores there really be that bad? I'm currently looking at the supposedly reputable stores Privathinker and Simwood. Their prices are around H&M level, so cheap but not so cheap that you'd expect chink quality. The reviews on their products seem good and they've been around for a few years.

>>17591843

in my experience, no, what you're doing is basically shopping from the same sources as shein, if you know the quality of those, you know what to expect.

What's a softshell and what's a hardshell?
They are some types of jackets, I guess one is suppose to be softer and one harder as the name suggests, but I don't see a difference desu.

>>17591923
>softshell
waterproof, soft because of internal padding, and they tend keep you warm without putting to much on, use them in winter
>hardshell
waterproof, transpirant, very thin and can be worn all year. Made to protect you from the weather but not cold temperatures, so if you want to use one in winter, you will need to have at least a sweater underneath it

also yea hardshells feel "harder" and make a little more noise than regular jackets

>t. proud hardshell owner

What would be an alternative for a buttoned up shirt?
Is it ever acceptable to wear a polo shirts? I don't want to look like i work at fast food restaurant.

>>17589270
>>17589303
Vintage stuff is great, but often a bit heavier and therefor warmer. Avoid Easy or No Iron shirts when buying from big RTW brands, because the stuff that they put into them makes them a lot less breathable.
A large number of MTM and even a number of bespoke shirt makers will be in the 200€ price range, I personally quite like Emanuel Berg. Just tell the tailor/salesuy that you need a fabric suitable for a warmer climate and a loose fit.

>>17591958
That is Purple Label - few can afford to wear that stuff on a daily basis. Only Alpha LA/NYC guy wear that.

With time she got more outgoing and started socializing more and turned into a normie and she just cut me off last week. We were literally fucking while she was dating someone else and now she decides to just not see me anymore. To make it all worst she posted a bikini picture a few days ago and holy fuck she's got the body of a goddess, I can't believe I used to go balls deep in that.

I'm a guy with a 26-inch waist and i find womens 4-6 is usually about right. The womens sizing system is fucking stupid though, and vanity sizing is very common, so if possible try to find the actual measurements of the garment.

What is a good, long lasting, plain belt I can buy? Im sick of buying "cheap" belts that dont last more than a year or have shitty little parts that break on the buckle.

I saw thursday boot company has belts, are those worth it, or should I get something else? I dont want to spend anything more than like 100 bucks as I dont need anything fancy or a brand name. Just something thats good and lasts long.

>>17594675
I'd wager that 100% of people who know anything about fashion know that Shein is garbage. Disregarding the ethical concerns, their clothing is just very low quality, and you can feel that it's low quality to the touch on almost every piece. I only know this because their shit has been flooding thrift shops, I wouldn't buy anything direct from them.
That said, if you really are a poorfag then go ahead. Sometimes I do come across a piece that isn't absolute shit, and to be fair it's not like their stylings and designs are bad, they're just more often than not stolen and low quality.

What are the best color for business casual kind of pants to match with black shoes?

>>17596905
Generally, 5'11 is dubbed the 'king of manlets' so I say below 6 feet is manlet territory.

It depends where you live but in western countries probably around 5ft7 would be the bare minimum, most women are already 5ft6.

>instead of wearing a dress to be an upity faggot that pretends to be a woman, I want to wear a dress because a dress is not a sign of femininity in any way.
You're going to be an uppity faggot pretending a dress is not a dress. Dresses are inherently feminine, there is nothing you can do to change that and if you pretend otherwise, you're doing the exact same thing trannies do.

>>17583504
If it’s cold enough wear a jacket that can store these things. A chorecoat can hold a days worth of trinkets

>>17585881
Learn color theory in general and you’ll be fine - this question is too nuanced and fashion schools have semester long courses on it

Thanks, I will buy adidas tracksuit instead. Any other articles of clothing that can help show my masculinity?

Get out from under your mother's skirt, and when you eventually go postal on your last day, take as many politicians with you as possible.

>>17592481
Gross

>>17597668
Thank you for your reply. I have not been living with any mother of any kind for 8 years now. I will not go postal for I am extremely stable person, also politicians in my country have been recently elected so we're yet to see what kind of assholes they will be. Also tools of murder is hard it acquire. I hope that is enough to explain my situation.

where the fuck do you start with /fa/shion?

I've been on the road for the past 10 years or so and have gone from being a filthy hippy to a country bumpkin to just wearing whatever the fuck is lying around. im returning to my home country, have some modest savings and actually want to give the real world a chance again.

do shopping malls even exist anymore? where do i start?

>>17598155
read the sticky friend.
One good option is to just thrift cheap stuff & pay attention to other people and see what does and doesn't work because of what features or style they have, then see how that can apply to you and then adjust what you buy accordingly.
I would say avoid spending a ton of $$$ on expensive shit no matter how much you like it, unless you're rich anyway. I made the mistake of shilling out hundreds for what I thought would be a great piece only to realize I don't like it. Closet full of shit like that

What style/shape of glasses should I be wearing?

i urgently need id on this outfit plx
cant find any of the pieces with google lense. so the jacket is a jeans jacket?it needs to be lighter on the inside. the pullover is a fleece pullover with some kind of rib. how do i find it? the pants is easy and the shoes, idc about them.

>>17599935
looks like an indigo chore coat

>>17600015
thenk you buddeh, looks like it!
the fleece shirt is kinda unique and i cant find a similar one in our german online shops

I've been trying to find more inspo photos for this kind of style, idk how to call it, just casual army or combat style

>>17598346
something like this

>>17600060
yeah i wish i could help with the fleece shirt, it looks cropped

>>17599935
>>17600060

fleece material looks like alpha direct, very new and popular ultralight fleece

no idea what brand, but very common myog hoodie pattern look

Where to cop a similar polo shirt to the left, blue striped with white accents?

Can a man wear a white shirt without a jacket to a wedding?
Dress code is cocktail in autumn neutral colour code
Im thinking brown pants and trousers, white shirt, +/- black tie.

>>17600479
You can but I feel like it makes you look boyish and immature rolling up to the wedding, like a schoolboy having to scrounge together a “formal” outfit for his middle school graduation

>>17600482
Would a vest work then? I'm now thinking brown boots, cream chinos, brown tie, and undecided on what colour shirt

>>17600491
Personally I don’t like the look of a vest with no jacket, but it’s an improvement

>>17600519
I dont want to get a jacket because its an outside wedding during the day in sub-tropical Australia. I'll sweat through my shirt

THOUGHTS ON FUR-HOODED PARKAS?
TOO FEMININE, IS IT GANGSTA? WHAT AESTHETICS DOES IT CLASH WITH?

is tucking your polo in cringe? i like it that way but i know fuck all about being effay and am too self aware

>>17601515
looks pretty ugly yea

>>17600567
wahoo-tier branding

>>17600567
retarded garm for retarded people

>>17600296
when they have contrasting colors and patterns theyre typically called rugby shirts
the brand is lacoste (no guarantee they have that exact shirt since the pic is probably years old)

>>17601515
depends on your style and how you carry yourself, it could easily make you look like a business casual fag or it could look preppy like this pic >>17600296 (not a bad thing)

and if youre overweight at all it will look bad cause it emphasizes your gut

i would err on the side of caution for now

Is it a sin to mix Nike and Adidas?
I get my shoes made by Nike because my feet are bigger than standard sizes, but I prefer Adidas

W2C decent loafers in europe under €150? Want them for summer fits either in beige suede or light brown leather. I liked ecco queenstowns on clearance but the colors suck

>>17579131
> how can I look fa while still having a cheap immigrant mentality
You can't. People like you who have mental breakdowns and anxiety attacks at the mere thought of spending money will always remain cucked ugly and will most likely die poor

I have some button up shirts I wear to work, but I guess some of them are low quality shite because they're starting to fall apart. every day I notice a new loose thread, they don't iron as well, etc.

I think the culprit is washing them after every wear, though I don't really have a choice because I get a collar ring literally every time. how do I spot clean the collar? every stain removal pretreatment I use says to put it in the machine afterwards.

also thoughts on keeping clothing clean without washing it? I read about hypochlorous acid, does anyone here use it?

Who makes good real leather belts that I won't have to fork out $300 each for

Should I keep this Evisu denim jacket?
Wonder whether it’s too garish for everyday wear with its contrast print.

>>17602888
overpriced as hell but I like it

Why are buzzcuts common on guys with learning difficulties?

>>17602892
its not really expensive for a good raw denim jacket. inflation hit everything including denim hard

>>17602895
It's low maintenance, you can do it routinely with a short attention span and anger issues.

>>17602936
That makes sense. I always see them with the same cut and was curious. I guess it would be difficult for them to be at a barbers or hairdressers. I like having this looks and hopefully am not seen as simple or anything.

good day everyone. may i get a fit check on these wranglers? this is 32x29, feels good on personally, not too tight nor loose

>>17600479
An off white, like cream, would work better for the theme but its not a social etiquette issue

>>17600567
I like them but not on me personally. They can go with a look of things and have a wide range from preppy to more street.

>>17601515
I think polo are cringe

>>17602382
I think it's generally seen as a faux pas to mix multiple together (items with large branding), but two is fine, especially if they're not overtly logo'd.

>>17602680
You could look into dry cleaning services if you have the extra petty cash and they'll be able to maintain them for you. Otherwise i would just hand wash the collars. It's just extra life admin.

>>17602888
It's so new still. Depends if you want to commit to breaking it in

>>17602969
they look a bit big on you, they're bunching, and where i'm from you don't cuff wranglers

>>17602986
Huh, interesting. This pic is with a size down (31), do you think this is better?

>>17602986
And yeah, about the cuffing, just did it to get a sense of where it probably needs to be hemmed

Hmm..maybe 13mwzs are just not a good fit for me. Gonna head down to the Levis store and try on some 501s

can someone help me how to proceed with child bearing hips of mine?
I just measured myself
Waist/Hips/Inseam
and it's
85/105/86 (cm)
34/41/33 (in)
so it basically says, that I should be buying L sizes for my inseam and hips measurements, but S size for my waist, I'm not fat as I weigh 87 kgs with 190 cm of heigth
I know for sure that slim fit are big no for me, I'm looking for some regular/loose fit black chinos and jeans

Closest I have is this one, https://www.zara.com/us/en/straight-fit-jeans-p08062405.html?v1=227084589&v2=2205370 but it is ripped up a bit as opposed to the on I am looking for.

>>17603970
get a belt bro

what do you wear on top of high-waisted pants??

>>17603915
Blazer, my brother. A blazer is always a preferable option before a shirt + tie. Feel free to wear the suspenders under the blazer, though, they do a better job than belts.

how do i dress to make my bf attracted to me?

NOW ANONS

WHICH OF THESE ALBUM ART CONCEPTS IS MORE EFFAY? TOP OR BOTTOM?

Are slim jeans really THAT outdated/unfashionable? I have tried switching to straight cut jeans but they just look WAAAYYYY too baggy on my 5'8 140 lbs frame.

Pic related is what I wear.

>>17606359
way better now, piano clips a little, not enough to get annoying tho

>>17594203

>>17573958
Whats some good hair product to get this straight spike look? Wax always feels like it makes it too messy, can never seem to comb it right to get it to be this shape whenever i try, always is a little too puffy.

I have an old leather bifold and I'm looking to upgrade to something slimmer, maybe a Ridge style metallic wallet just for cards and ID. Any recommended similar wallets, or better alternatives?

>>17606359
bottom is just real life, top is nostalgic feeling

What do I tell the barber to get chad hair like pic related? Looks like short sides and bangs longer than the rest of the top?

>>17607364

Is there a way of washing a suit at home instead of having it dry-cleaned?

>>17607375
Distilled water on whatever stain you’re trying to get out, put cornstarch on any oil stain as soon as you get it. Buy a steamer to get the wrinkles out

>>17607384
Don’t forget general lint rolling.

>>17607384
>>17607438
Can I machine wash a suit?

>>17607444
Don’t do that.

>>17607444
What exactly is your situation, I’m curious. You’re too broke to dry clean a suit, but it sounds like you’ll risk fucking one up in a washer?

Where can I find info on /fa/ sunglasses?
IDC if they're cheapo or name brand. As long they look good

Is hanging sweaters on hangers bad for them?

>>17607453
This year I've been trying to do whatever I can to be more independent: growing my own food (to some extent), repairing my own possessions, etc. I figured getting rid of the dry-cleaning jew from my life would be yet another step in that direction. The suit in question is bone white and has some stains to the lapel. I just find it hard to believe that it wouldn't in any way be possible to wash the suit at home without ruining it.

This probably does deserve its own thread, but I want to entirely rebuild my wardrobe and I need resources because I'm not /fa/ at all.
I know the sticky exists but its very general information, which is useful enough, but I was hoping for more specific info especially on brand quality and price points.

>>17607997
Anon, suits are not designed for people who are disconnected from urban life and want to be extremely self-dependent. They're not intended to be maintainable entirely by hand at home; thats why the people who do have the skills or equipment to maintain them start businesses doing so.

>>17608060
Your resources are social media. Just like learning any other subject the burden of learning and study is on you. Start with YouTube and discover what you like.

>>17608186
That's why I said I was looking for resources, not specific answers. I know their are tons of retarded social media influencers clogging up the space, I'm trying to avoid them.

How do I ask for a basic ass haircut lmao. I went to the same lady my entire life and just moved after like 25 years. People ask me for numbers scissors vs razors all that shit? I just want something short and basic haha

Lost most of my clothes, which was mainly gym wear and band tees. I'm looking to purchase 3 shirts and 3 pants for general wear and going out. I have jason momoa skin color/tone and dark hair.

Any suggestions?

should i bother using vestiaire collective and grailed to sell a designer piece for women if i already listed it on ebay, vinted and depop?
i already have so many online accounts i don't really want any more

how do i make a regular black tshirt vintage washed or faded ?

>>17608297
Get a photo of your hair as you liked it and just show it to them.

Do these glasses fit me? I feel like they might be too large.

>>17573958
what are the brands or companies or designers or whatever that make the most stupidly expensive fancy women's business suits?

I need this info to draw porn

>>17608526
Nice hair, bro. Little too big, yeah. The overall idea is okay.

>>17608353
Vestiaire is great id highly recommend it. You'll get much more attention due to their policies. I only buy my second hand designer from then

>>17608205
It doesn't matter. Figure out what you want to dress like and search it. Figure out who you want to listen to by yourself

>>17608724
>go find somewhere else to learn about fashion besides the thread explicitly about questions on the imageboard dedicated to discussing fashion
I hate faggots like you

>>17608750
Read the infographics in the sticky. Go to ashleyweston.com

>>17608759
Wow, that site looks terrible. Will avoid, thanks.

>>17608750
Because you have nothing to actually discuss, you know nothing, don't even know where to start or what you even need to do. I told you the first step and its actually deciding what you fucking want. You asked the dumbest fucking question you could have googled. Fashion is about personal style and no one can help with with deciding how you want to dress or what you like. Come back and ask us which pants you should choose instead of wanting to be spoonfed

>>17573958
Anyone know exactly what these pants are called I’ve tried looking up cargo pants but can’t find any good products that are baggy like that above the knees and slim below and with belt loops.

>>17608708
Thanks

it's okay anon i struggle the same really.
not everyone has the luxury of being born into old money :( some of us didn't quite luck out on the genetic lottery! but we have to make do and use the cards that we're dealt with. you can always go for alternatives that are cheaper but still decent in terms of quality, plus a lot of the big brands are lowkey fugly and require marketing to sell their shit. i wouldnt get into the mentality that high price = value. just buy clothing that fits you well and feels like it's quality :) you dont need to spend a fortune to look presentable. i mean dont we all wish we had a million dollars lying around to spend on clothing aha

>>17608949
To me that looks like an artistic representation of what happens when you tuck the hem of your trousers into the combat boots. It bunches up below your knees. This happened especially in a pronounced way using frieze fabric trousers. It's a kind of heavy woollen cloth that drapes well. If it's not just that, then they are jodhpurs. A kind of military trouser model still used during WWII and nowadays in equstrian things.

>>17609346

what is generally the best? newest, most sold or most expensive?

proof?

how the FUCK do I go beyond wearing basketball and running shorts for enjoying warmer weather.

1. Lightweight pants: Lightweight pants, such as linen or cotton, can be a comfortable and stylish alternative to shorts. They offer more coverage while still allowing airflow and breathability.

2. Short-sleeve button-up shirts: Short-sleeve button-up shirts can be a versatile addition to your wardrobe. They can be dressed up or down and offer a more polished look than a t-shirt.

3. Polo shirts: Polo shirts are a classic warm-weather staple. They come in a variety of colors and styles and can be paired with shorts, pants, or even swim trunks.

4. Bermuda shorts: Bermuda shorts are a longer style of shorts that hit just above the knee. They offer more coverage than traditional shorts but still keep you cool in warm weather.

5. Lightweight jackets: A lightweight jacket, such as a denim or bomber jacket, can be a great layering option for cooler evenings or when going in and out of air-conditioned spaces.

6. Sandals: Sandals are a comfortable and breathable footwear option for warm weather. Look for styles that offer good arch support and cushioning for all-day wear.

What do I wear to a wedding? Family friend, I'm not in the wedding just attending.

>>17609741
Are you American? What did the invite state? I know you people like black tie even for a day wedding but a dark suit is never out of place. However, in the summertime and in such joyous events, lighter colours are usually preferred. Everything is so casual there though so maybe combination outfits are alright as well. I'd advice you to just ask your family friend to avoid any unfortunate mishaps.

>>17609766
The guy told me shirt and tie when I asked. I'm Canadian, the invite didn't have a dress code or anything.

>>17609798
Oh well. That's the bare minimun then, I take it. I'd probably go with a navy blazer and grey trousers. It's hard to look out of place wearing that. Blends in well with suits and shirts alike. Did you talk with the relatives also attending the wedding?

>>17609829
With a white button down you think?

>>17573958
Is this tshirt worth anything? i have the exact same one and im wondering if i should sell it

what kind of shorts are good to wear with short sleeve linen shirts?

how do you find your own "style"?
I could go all day in sweatpants but thats retarded
well is this question

>>17609922
Bermuda shorts, chino shorts or match it with linen. Cheap linens in lighter colours can be transparent so watch out for that. Gotta go for light boxers to counter that. Madras and seersucker shorts are well liked by the preppy people here but it's a bold look.

>>17609953
thank you, I will probably opt to grab some chinos and linen shorts.

>>17609976
When I said match it with linen, I didn't mean a uniform like the picture you posted in your original thread with the top and bottom being of the same colour. Avoid going matchy matchy unless it's an actual suit. Black is an exception.
