Hey, I usually dress in slacks and a button up with leather boots everday but the weather is getting warmer and i would like to start dressing a little more casually. Only problem is i'm not exactly sure what casual is besides a tshirt and jeans. any help plz? for reference i'm 6 foot 1, 34 inch waist, size 40 suit. The only thing I really dread is mid or low rise pants. If i'm not wearing high rise I feel like my pants are gonna fall down.

Oops, I skipped the "of watch" part, which turns out to be the most important.


>>14297913
It can depend on how prestigious your Uni is. If it is a private college, I'd get a clean, vintage styled watch like this with a leather wristband. Or if you like shopping, look around for some actual vintage watches.

If it is a shitty state school, I'd just get a Timex with a canvas band or something. Whatever you do, don't get something big or with a metal bracelet. They will stand out at a university and make you look weird.

Tricky part of dressing for Uni is that by mid semester, most of your classmates will be wearing athletic tees and sweatpants to class. You want to like nice, but even the nicer end of casual will make you look like a try-hard when everyone around you has cargo shorts on.

[Anonymous No.14297959]

>>14297950
Timex website has a customization tool. Just play with combinations until you find something you like. Brown leather will probably be the most versetal, which is important for a first watch owned by a broke college kid. But fabric bands matched well with an outfit can really make an otherwise forgettable casual fit.

My custom shirt from Ratio and boy is it nice.
It's their 100% cotton "summer" oxford. It's lighter than their standard oxford so it's ideal for summer and hot weather, which is exactly what I wanted. Fit is perfect as I found my best fitting shirt and had them recreate every measurement of it. Collars are unlined and have great roll, the buttons surprised me as they're these really nice and think ones that feel really sturdy. Construction appears to be flawless, no bad stitching or anything.
Overall, it's simply perfect and will be a perfect addition to my shirt collection, especially since it's about to get hot as fuck where I live but I refuse to wear anything but a button down anyway. They're a little pricey, but that's the price you pay for a custom shirt and it's comparable to other top brands, so it's not a big deal.

Fuck off. How old are you? Are you still in high school? People can wear whatever the fuck they want to university and no one will care. You're at university to get educated, not make friends and be the popular kid. When you're in your 20's no one gives a shit how you dress and no one will care. Many people come straight to class from jobs or internships and are dressed up nice. People get it and understand that so no one will care. I remember a kid showed up in a suit everyday as he came to class straight from work.
Wear whatever the fuck you want, be yourself, have your own style and focus on your studies and getting your degree. DO NOT listen to ignorant zoomers on an anonymous anime image board.

Cool, but most people actually dress to influence other peoples perception of them. If you go to class wearing Oxford shoes, a tie, and a Navy blazer, and everyone around you is wearing sweatpants and graphic tees, you will look out of place and like an idiot.

One thing I love about Charles' style is that everything he owns is old as fuck. He's very open about how he just patches up his suits and gets stuffed repaired. He regularly wears a pair of oxfords that were made for him in the 70s that he just keeps getting repaired and keeps wearing.
He is the epitome of what it means to be prep. Can't wait for King Charles

I think the RL one looks fine, just the right amount of baggy. If you tuck it in you'll get a comfy billow that'll make you look less "uptight" than the ratio one.
I am pretty thin myself and a bit of baggy definitely looks better on me, too slim makes me looks like a constricted twig and I kinda get that same impression from your ratio shirt.

What easily obtainable and preferably mechanical watches are fitting of the style?

I was going for a Tisell diver but imagining a sub under an unlined oxford cloth cuff made me reconsider. The watch itself also has a rep for spotty QC.

I know Timex is a big one, but I've already owned one and am hoping to upgrade from quartz.

Seiko has a reddit tax (even the seiko 5) and orient just looks fugly and oversized to me (38mm for nondiver is my limit).

There's the option of vintage Omega dress watches, like the Deville and Geneve, but buying nth-hand watches seems like a second job with all the research and due diligence. Is it worth it?

My budget at this point is like $500. Later in my career I'll just say fuck it and cop a datejust, but for now I can't really justify it.

I think this is fine tucked and untucked. You have a bit of a gut which an undershirt would help or you can just accept. It is what it is.

My advice would be to swap out that dark belt for light brown or a light green / blue / rep type pattern or web belt. Black is too dark and cuts you in half.

As useful as these kind of blogs are for inspo, does anyone else find them off-putting in a sense?

Uploading hundreds of photos of yourself online, whoring yourself out to brands for those amazon referral bucks, just hoarding every conceivable part of the wardrobe in every colour and fit, constantly shopping to have new content.... the suspension of disbelief is always broken for me when they make mention of their actual career in very vague terms and you realize they dont do fucking anything, they're a blogger, a middle manager's middle manager or sometimes even outright a "fashion consultant" or some other bottom feeder. And is it always ALWAYS hapas? They are the biggest americana LARPers. It doesn't feel quite right.

Like can you imagine seeing the inside of their wardrobe, how they've got like 1000 sportcoats and jackets in every colour? it'd just feel excessive. it's larping.

Traditional menswear to me is necessarily utilitarian and thrifty. An aspect of it should just be lived, and if your life is documenting meta-culture, and your job is some meaningless paper pushing or literally just blogging, its all just a silly simulacrum.
