I dress like this everyday. But. I'm not in college anymore.

I had the same doubt when I started college (wanted to dress more mature) and after the first weeks, seeing everybody dressed shitty, I just dressed like I did in high school to avoid looking like a try hard.

Since I liked that style so much (the one in your photo), I just spent all three years of college buying clothes that fit that style, storing them in a separated wardrobe and kept dressing wtv everyday.

Then, when I finished college and started working, I had the wardrobe I always wanted with the plus of everything in it being new, since I never wore the clothes I bought.

European here, just for context.

Lol I can't see why anyone would consider this too formal. This is literally how I usually dress when I'm spending the day at home by myself. At university I usually wear a button-up, tie, sweater (when its cold), top-coat/peacoat (when its cold), and loafers or a semi-formal dress shoe. Idk, maybe people think I'm a tryhard, but I don't really care. I like to maintain the image and appearance of an uptight, bookish, mild autist, and I tend to be really pretentious. Whenever I go into people's houses I usually check out there music collection and their bookshelves. If they have anything other than academic science/math books, philosophy/social sciences, or classic literature, I generally subtly (or not so subtly) mock their tastes. Similarly for music - if they have any pop music, including most mainstream rap and rock, I have to shit talk them. Acceptable genres include classical, jazz, experimental/noise/industrial, hardcore/punk, classic rock, and metal.

there's no reason to dress up in college. freshmen dress like that the first few weeks then get slightly stressed out and begin dressing like shit. honestly don't wear that for no reason you'll look like a tool and this is coming from a guy who has to wear a suit every day for his job

Anonymous Sat Jul 29 22:54:22 2017 No.12643239

yea this is fine
the people who will think you are a tryhard are the nerds who dont know how to dress themselves anyways
anyone with even a mild sense of style will just think you know how to dress yourself
some /fa/gs will recognize you that you know how to dress yourself but think your fit is uptight and boring

Maybe it's just because I go to a pretty "frat" southern school, but this look is relatively common. But it still looks tryhard.

It's weird because there's always some people dressed like this and some people wearing pajamas in every class. College fashion is weird.

Considering that 95% of people dress like poorfags nowaday (jeans/snakers/t-shirts/shorts) it does make an impression that you are dressed too formal, but in reality is pretty normal attire.

Go for it OP.

Probably too dressy for undergrad. When you get to grad school (maybe if you go to grad school) it would be perfectly acceptable though. Undergrads usually just wear jeans and button ups or yoga clothes. Nobody really dresses nice unless there's a reason to.

I dont think that solid pants, a nice shirt and shoes are "too formal" for university, no.

However, those are neither. Color scheme is fine i guess (though i dont like pink shirt unless it's very subtle and as part of a business suit). Both the belt and shoes look cheap (nothing wrong with cheap; but buy basics).

Basically, each individual piece look too "trendy". Get a more classic, almost dress shirt without the pocket and a regular collar. The pants are okay, but not more.

This anon is right IMO. You can just wear a basic solid-color (well-fitting) t-shirt from Target or Walmart or Uniqlo or similar with the rest of this outfit, and people will think you are /so effay/ *except* for actual people into fashion, which is 100% fine if you're in university. Girls don't give a shit if you're fashionable, they only actually care if you pull off *your* fashion well. Same for guys, desu. They look more at your self-confidence (which ofc goes hand in hand with being well dressed) than at your actual fit. That being said, if you're on this board u better also care about fashion for its own sake.

Doing you is the most important thing, and it's a nice looking outfit but this is full on going-to-work core. At least change the shoes.

Although not nearly as bad, 20 somethings trying to make menswear work is just a milder mutation of this kind of overall "le class is for men" fedora mind IMHO.

Anyone under 30 years old generally looks pretty silly in clothes like this unless they are at work or in a situation that calls for that.

I DO think it's nice you're making more of an effort to not look as complete shit as the bros in sweatpants and Stacies in yoga pants at college but it's just too formal. There can be a balance.

Please take my advice as a 28 year old sempai who wears a suit to work every day.

Plenty of people dress like this to college, especially bigger universities, even if they are not business students. You will be fine. However, besides that pink shirt, I recommend you have white, off-white or light beige, pale blue, and medium blue shirts in stock as well. Darker shirts, or brighter pastel colors are optional, and don't always flatter the wearer. Whenever you feel like dressing up a bit more, just put on a sports jacket and a tie, and maybe even add a pocket square and a tie bar. Wear in good health!
