I am a 30 y/o geezer who used to be hip af and is now getting back in top shape and want to be effay again. With a twist. At my age I can't and don't want to dress like a 20 year old, will be getting married soon and have a successful investigation career. Will be starting to meet with clients face to face and I want to start dressing "classically fashionable".

Do any of you have any advice for a more conservative look? Does not need to be high end, but it should fit well and look classic and handsome, no matter if it is professional or relaxed.

OP here. DESU I am not very savy on brands. I mainly have been buying/looking at Brooks Brothers and BR. Which I'm sure people on here will make fun of, but they fit well and look nice enough.

I just want to find something between those prices that fits really well, looks nice and I can buy from completely, knowing the brand is what I fit in and look good in. Not having to shop around for different wardrobes.

Maybe jeans...

>meeting face to face with clients
Do you have a dress code?
You could go for a sports coat sort of look, or as an hardboiled private eye you could rock a charcoal suit and hat. Remember to remove all color from your office, to increase the old movie vibe!

I live in Virginia. Travel all over VA, NOVA, WV, DC, MD, PA and New England.

I do surveillance for workmans comp fraud. So when in my vehicle I am not going to dress well, it's just too uncomfortable to dress nice and sit in a car for 12 hours. Plus my sweat would ruin my clothes in the summer.

This is for meeting with my boss, and clients. As well as my girlfriends friends, who are all 25 or younger and still in college. Most of them at VCU are in film or art so are hip and cool, I feel like a dad around them.

I would love to have a "uniform" look. Like brown/green/khaki/navy/black. Earth-tones with button ups, polos, chinos, jackets for some occasions.

VA gets very warm and very cold, and I personally react poorly to extremes in weather, forcing me to want to wear slip flops and shorts or dress like an Eskimo.

I generally am a bit outdoorsy/nerdy. Have always liked darker earth-tones and blacks. Corduroys are a shameful favorite. I long for te late 70's that will never happen again. Seemed so comfy then.

My hair it brown, I have a high hairline, widows peak. Not receding at all, I've looked like I was about to lose hair since I was little, just a shitty line. Glasses, reddish beard, freckles.

I don't really care for light pants. Think "country club" look. That's not me. My gf's family are super blue blood DC socialites who all wear three piece suits and make me feel like a complete pleb. I don't want to dress like them, but I want to start looking a bit more socially acceptable in their circles.

>>11886409
Maybe I will. Screw it.

No dress code at all. It's literally how I want to present myself to people. I definitely don't want to go for the classic PI look. *tips fedora*

IMX, wool clothes are great if you have to stay put in your car, or deal with extra cold or warmth.
If you don't want to be an hard boiled private eye (come on!), then maybe the sports coat look? Comfy wool pants when you're out on the field, courduroy or linen in summer when in the office.

at 27 I'm kind of in the same boat as you so let me just say you came to the wrong place. This board is mostly 23- and most aren't remotely interested in the style you describe. Honestly although it gets shit on a ton here MFA would probably be your best bet. Every once in awhile an inspo thread will pop up with some great stuff but that's about it

If this pic is any frame of reference, you're doing a bad job
Pic 1: V neck tucked into lowrise jeans under a blazer with the sleeves rolled up? cmon
Pic 2: Matching shirt and shoes with MUH BOLD COLORS. Also tucked into a lowrise trouser
trash
Pic 3: Sleeve roll is shitty, and the tuck with the single button is not good at all
Pic 4: Matching tie and pocket square? gross unless black tie white shirt. Also the tie is wayyy too big, relative to the lapel.
Just dress with the aesthetic (minimalism) of pic related and you'll be good old timer. hopefully ur not fat

If you are investigating you should look the part of a upper middle class white person in the south

so vineyard vines and boat shoes. All the time.
