Slightly different angle, was showing my buddy traps from deadlifting...

Also, not rich... so I mean there ar elimits to what I can cop when...

Kind of dadcore at the moment, which is okay I guess since I am a dad... but would like to be fashionable...

the coat I mentioned is a 350$ kenneth Cole top coat from Macy's I got for 79.99 this morning for black friday... idk seems good to me but might be noobish to ya'll...

You have motivation to start dressing better, which is great. My advice? Lurk more, find a style that you like if you haven't already.

Uniqlo and Everlane are great for basics.
Levis' is good for jeans.
As for boots / shoes, I can't help you on that, I don't even know myself. Though I'm sure the sticky has something on it.
If you order something and it does not fit, get it tailored.

Let's see... What else... Haircut is important. Get one that suits you. There's a face shape thread somewhere in the catalog, post your face on it and see what you get. That will help you find what haircuts are suitable for you.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to start to dress better. You are from /fit/ I assume and you know how it feels to make mistakes. Take this as spraining a muscle or whatever, learn from it and continue instead of feeling discouraged.

Shoes, pants, and scarf look great. That being said, the pants don't really flow into the shoes, and while the scarf matches the shirt, the shirt isn't that great.

Keep trying, you're doing a hell of a lot better than most people.

Okay, that seems like an acceptable response. Now, in order to contribute something, why don't you tell me how, or why, this looks 'faggy'? what would you change?

Also, just took more pics: Shoes are Rockport Wingtips from goodwill =)

Jeans are arizona from jcpenny

shirt is merino from target

jacket is a sportcoat from jos a banks

the pocket square is a tie i cut up from goodwill for two dollars

white t-shirt is sean jean

I was just giving you shit, man. Calm the fuck down, brah.

Alright, the things I would change are the jeans and the shirt. For sure. Since you are dadcore, try to improve those dadcore elements. Go for darker wash jeans, look for a dark indigo. That flannel shirt doesn't pair well with the jacket. Find a oxford collar shirt, white or blue.

I have no comments on the pocket square.

As for the shoes . . . you can do better. I think you could do well with a pair of penny loafers.

As for the scarf>>7329502

It's not going to work with that shirt.

tldr;
get new jeans
get OBDCs
get some new shoes, in brown
