i'm a complete newbie, no ivy/trad clothing at all, what is the best approach to build my wardrobe from scratch? i'm a 23yo male

Start with the basics. OCBD's, khakis, and loafers.

[Anonymous No.17512547]

>>17512545
which colors of shirts should i go for, do i want any patterns? is it worth to pay $100 for a OCBD or should i go with the cheapest possible options?

Make sure the pants you buy are high rise, low rise looks like shit and ruins every fit

[Anonymous No.17512550]

>>17512547
White and light blue are good and as basic as you can get. University stripes are the go-to patterned option.
Kamakura has shirts around that price range which are said to be pretty good. I don't have personal experience with them though as most of my wardrobe is thrifted

[Anonymous No.17512552]

>>17512548
From what ive read, even back in the day chinos were lower rise compared to slacks/suit pants. Its not easy to find chinos with a super high rise. But its still good to get them above the hips at least.
>>17512547
The cheapest OCBD's will have shitty collars that don't have the proper shape to frame your face and look appealing. Thats nearly the whole point of the shirt, so a bad one ruins your look and ivy cred.

I get that. In fact I’ve learned not to listen to 95% of what is said here or you’ll end up looking like a doofus.
I just want to look a casual ivy style. Like perhaps something you’d see a young man in the upper esceleon in the 1960s wear to the park on his day off of campus.
For whatever reason I was under the impression that moccasins with laces were the type of shoe that fit this bill but then I don’t really see that in the inspo I see so maybe I was misguided? Or was I on the money?

>always broke in really well and were never too uncomfortable to wear for very long

yeah guys i think i'm gonna buy some higher end canvas sneakers as my next shoes, sorry if its not /tip/, i just have an odd partiality to this kind of sneaker.

i won't be buying them from converse though, that company is fucking gay and overhyped,
nothingnew.com does basically the same style of shoe but actually better quality (stitched sole instead of glued)

whats a good color to go for?
black would be more versatile, but not as stylish, while off-white ones would be more stylish with brown and light grey suits, but not so much navy and charcoal suits, or many other dark colors. maybe i should just go for black and buy a cheap walmart pair for the off-white ones until i find enough combos to justify getting the nice kind?

I got the tie in picrel from aliexpress, and I think it's pretty nice.
I think really my only requirements I have out of my ties is that they aren't overly soft, thickly-lined, and the pattern of the tie is actually a woven texture and not printed on. This tie meets all those criteria for me.

Yes, definitely, though I bought mine on sale at No Man Walks Alone 3 years ago (-40%, so around 500€). Even for 1000€ it's very much worth it.

Wasn't worth its own thread & there's no menswear thread:

It's Monday morning. Last night I was invited to a black tie event on Saturday night 3/11. I need a tux. My proportions are kind of weird; I'm slightly "jacked" so most jackets don't fit off the rack, but I know shortening the sleeves on a jacket can be done in that time frame. I would prefer investing in a good black-tie outfit over renting some mediocre thing from Men's Wearhouse, and I can spend up to $1500. I am in NYC. What do you think are my best options?

There's no problem with it. However women's coats usually come in at the waist. Not sure if Barbour do this also, but it would look odd plus it would run tighter.
For 80 quid you could always take a punt on it and if it doesn't fit/look good just sell it on.

nice jacket, patch pockets are a classic. Don’t really like the tie. Ties should complement or outright match the colors of the jacket and slacks. Don’t get involved in the “power tie” meme. more of a personal taste matter, but button down shirt collars are not.. good. They tend to look disheveled. the wrinkled collar here is a massive eyesore and destroys the whole fit. Slacks are unremarkable. Recommend a nice tan/olive flannel, single or double pleated high rise slack. Also personal taste really
but, French cuffs look very sharp as opposed to just regular old convertible or barrel cuffs.
>>17515972
Colors and tie actually work great here. See previous comment on slacks. Only real critique I have is that the jacket quite obviously appears to be polyester, or a blend. Whole thing has these wavy wrinkles... Looks sorta cheap. Might look better freshly dry cleaned, otherwise I recommend a wool sportcoat, specifically tweed?
>>17517083
Looking great!! Fundamentals here are fantastic. I would prefer a more subdued tie but that’s all personal taste, also again with the button down collar and I’d prefer to see a French cuff. Slacks here are great and on the money!

I like dressing like this for work, but not outside of it. I think it's funny. My coworkers wear those new golf shirts made from synthetic, 3/4 zips sweaters and slim fit pants with stretch and synthetic material. I hate it.

I like to think I dress like a 1960 ivy league professor. It's my way to rebel and dress cool. If I have to dress up like a dork. Might as well have fun with it.

Typical: Brooks Brothers oxford with wool crew neck sweater, if cold.
Regular fit chinos/slacks
Penny loafers.
Timex on a NATO strap

I'm looking to go more all out. Upgrading with jackets and blazers on Ebay and thrift stores. Maybe some ties. Better shoes. Wool trousers. Any recommendations? I love J Press anything, but it's so expensive.

I had the same problem, as I have unusually wide feet for my shoe size. So I have some practical advice for you or anyone whose feet are outside the norm.
It is elaborate and cumbersome, but will work.
Find yourself a or multiple manufacturers, which offers shoes made from different lasts. Order all the shoes from the different lasts that might fit you in two sizes and widths (if available), wear them at home for a while (mind you dont wear the outsoles) and return them. Eventually you will find a last and size that will come closest to your own foot.
Now you will be able to order different styles of shoe all made on the same last for a long time. The reputable manufacturers never ditch them.

Depends, if everyone already knows you as the sartorial/preppy/classy guy, you might get away with it. But consider this: All those different detachable starched collars came from a time where suits were quite different. Way higher closing, way less shirt visible, etc. Found a pic of the last German Emperor and his son, where you have a wingtip collar and a higher rise folding one. If you dont match or approach the overall look, it would just look goofy. So in this case better leave the wing collars for black and white tie.
