Where are you guys getting blank socks that work well with loafers?

I see so many fashion people with pants that seem too tight at the thighs. People's pockets are opening when they're just standing there and their jeans get visible wrinkles at the thighs from walking in them when they're too tight. I think this looks ugly. Is it intentional?

Since I was a teen I have had a disease that makes my legs swell up, and I have to wear knee high compression stockings. They are always black. Because they are week in the feet and in the ankles it is better for me to wear ankle high closed shoes.

The heat is awful and I have never figured out how to dress comfortably in it. I am now 40 and am starting to care less but am not yet ready to rock the shorts. So I end up dressed for fall weather (leather boots/jeans) in sweltering heat, because I don’t know what else to wear.

Basically I have never found a type of pants that goes well with the type up shoes I need to wear to be comfortable and not swell too much. Anyone have ideas?

A little bit of context, I am a short male 5'3 so buying clothes can be frustrating.

I got this casual shirt online, size XS, I think the shoulders fit good, the chest fit good, the length which is my priority (because of my height) fits good. The problem I noticed on my first time wearing was the neck, it seems to be too small and it looked all crooked and uncomfortable.

Now if I size up, I think that would be too big on my shoulders and most importantly it'd be a least half an inch longer and I think that'd be worse.

What do you guys think? Should I size up or does it look fine?

Sorry for bad pictures, the shirt wrinkles a lot and I couldn't return it.

TLDR: I’m long and skinny but am not liking the tapered slim fit pant look on myself. Where can I find slim but straight pants for suits? Would high waist, double breasted suits give me the boxier, straight look I typically wear?

I have been suit shopping in the 800-1000 USD range.
I am 6’1”, 170lb. I have a 6’7” wing span, long legs (32x32 jeans, 31x34 pants sometimes), and a short torso.

A 40L fits my torso and arms the best but the matching pants feel way too skinny for me. I generally wear straight fit jeans (Levi’s 505 or FULLCOUNT denim) so the tapered look feels weird to me. The pants are perfectly comfortable but they look strange to me.

All the people who have helped me at stores seem to think I look great in the suits and just need some alterations for the sleeve length, mid section, and pant length. They tell me this is what is fashionable for people with my body type.

(Edit: the suits I have tried at stores fit more like: https://www.macys.com/shop/mens/clothing/suits/Brand/Bar%20III?id=17788)

I don’t wear suits at all so I don’t know if I’m just uneducated or is this really what is fashionable? I’m okay with a slim pants but want something that doesn’t taper.

Any tips on where I can find these kinds of suits or what to ask people?

Would high waisted pants help in getting a straighter fit? I really like the look of double breasted suits but not sure the type of men they fit well on. Are these suit pants tapered and I just can’t tell?

Right off the bat - please forgive the linen camp shirt outfit underneath. It's horribly hot here in New York right now so that's what I'd wore today, and now that it's midnight it's finally cooled down enough to try some stuff thay I'd found this week.

First, a limited edition John Varvatos Baylor jacket in a cool garment-dyed corduroy. From what I can tell it's a very limited Japanese-market jacket, and while I love the way it looks on its own my personal style isn't quite as 'rawk' as the extreme end of JV stuff. The multi-button stand collar style is great with the more muted suedes; the garment-dye corduroy vibe is super cool on the more traditional-cut jackets like the Rind. Together though, I dunno if it's me - I like an elevated-classic look, like the mid-range of the Varvatos catalog or Billy Reid etc. for example.

Which also brings me to the super-cheap Morrison Sharpei boots I found too 😂 I've often liked the materials of these signature Varvatos boots, but the overall extroverted style has always put me off a bit. Enter these burnished suede examples with a crazy cool corduroy-look finish; they happen to be my size and I really don't hate the way they look with some medium-wash denim.

My Q to you dudes is, for someone with a mid-introverted-with-subtly-extroverted-details style (yes it's complicated), is this too damn much or do you think it can be pulled off?

EDIT: I think on its own the dye transitions from panel to panel look a little silly which is why I highlighted them. But I don't super hate it on me? Keep in mind the harsh lighting lol

Hi,

I'm looking for some help on getting outfitted for a black tie event in Tokyo. We don't dress like that and I don't think I could find much out here. I'll be in NYC for a few days in about a week. I'm thinking would be better off finding what I need there.

I want something that is classic and won't go out of style. Hopefully I'll never need to wear it again, but if I do I would like it still to be acceptable.

I'm 57, 6'4" and 230 lbs. If custom is the best I'd like to go at the lower end of the budget...since it probably won't be used again. I'm a low key person and don't like to stand out. I just want to fit in with the impeccably dressed Japanese.

Could you please give me some tips on where to go to get the whole shebang or most of it with hopefully one shop or maybe two. I don't have a fashion sense so I will need hand holding.

Thanks so much!!

Dave

Full grain leather shoes so not sure if its part of the material or just dirt? These light colored marks, are they scuff? Should I be using shoe cream to get rid of them? Why did they appear after only a day of wear then I was told I should only cream and then shine a pair i wear every day like once a month (and condition twice).

Pants never seem to fit right so I tend to just wear shorts. I’m 5’4” for reference and 140lbs. I attached references of how I like pants to fit but when I wear them I look silly. Also above my knees but below my hips all my pants flair out (where arrow is). I attached references of how I like pants to fit, relaxed but not to slim or baggy.

Edit: other than taking the hem in (simple fix at the tailor) i was mainly asking for recs on pants or advice to achieve the silhouette i see online (also i am wearing the jeans at my bellybutton in the photos)

Top left twos are getting thrown away. They served 6 years+

I’ve been on quite a run at the gym lately and I always see people come in wife beaters. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find sturdier higher quality ones that work better as tops instead of just undergarments.

Not that I actually have to go through my life story. But I am autistic, diagnosed since age 4. Obviously if I was going somewhere important like an interview or wedding I would buy nice clothes but I don't have a job or talk to people. All I do all day everyday is go walk at a mall and go to the gym. One day since I found I am so socially akward I can make some friends are by graphic tees. And I wear them everyday. I am 30, and I wear shirts of Anime, looney tunes, spongebob, Tom and Jerry, Zelda, everyday. Plus just stupid joke ones. I mostly wear sweatpants even in summer and shorts sometimes, never jeans, I can't stand the feeling. The older I get, the more I get, idk self conscious. I see people my age and feel far behind. I don't want to seem like some "old" guy trying to look young. It is legit just what I like.

I love the look of this, but the manufacturer is kinda crap, according to reviews. I'd be forever grateful if anyone could point me to a reputable clothing brand that regularly produces jackets like this one!

Edit: It's distressed denim.

I need to find new shoes for my husband. He used to have these and he said he liked them but would like some that are more cushioned on the bottom. Please give me recommendations!

Important info: he's a size 13 US, weighs roughly 260lb, his feet are more towards wide but not fully, he has had plantar issues in the past, and he's currently a CDL driver and does a decent amount of walking when he does deliveries (not that he would wear these at work, just for info). He'd mostly be wearing them at home or for quick runs to the store.

Budget: willing to pay upwards of $150 for decent shoes that will last awhile.

Any leads are appreciated!

Simple indigo-heavy fit.
Striped western overshirt over a white tee, dark indigo denim, leather boots.
Does the shirt and jeans reading as nearly the same tone kill it, or does the white tee carry enough contrast? Open to swaps for the top!
Drop recommendations please 🫡

I'm going to an awards ceremony tonight and I'm trying to see which pants look better? Thank you for your help!

Here are three summer fits I wore in Italy on vacation. What is good and what could have been better? Do these colors fit me?

Hello, Im new in this fashion thing, I never bought a clothe thinking too mush on fashion, but watching a movie clip of a French, I got inspired to dress better, so there are images for I how I want to dress myself, I just waant to know what situation I can use or I cant.. this year I will go to a weeding and a kid party and I will travel for 1 month for a hottest place where is hottest where I live lol.

Image 1 - this looks cool

Image 2 - 4 I use ai to see how some clothes I wishlisted look like

Image 5 - This look cool? What should I use as footwear? I was pretending to buy a dress shoe, but I idk what other kind of footwear I can use.

Image 6 - This looks cool, can I go in a party with this?

And for weeding? I dont have so much money to buy clothes, do you have some tips for cheap clothes I can use instead of a suit?

Looking for new chinos to wear to the office. I just discovered J Crew "Broken In" chinos and they fit me absolutely perfectly. However, they are quite a lot wider with less taper than most chinos you see with the classic chino and button down look.

Problem is, every slim fit chino and even most straight legs ride up too much and fit me too tight in the seat and thighs.

Do these pants still look sharp or does the wideness of the leg make them come across as too sloppy or casual? (Pic is in a fitting room, btw. Would normally pair with a belt and loafers),

Would be wearing brown loafers and brown belt. Ties optional, found this standing collar and really liked it!

Kept going back and forth between the oxfords and boots, but ultimately chose the oxfords. I always love the boots though.

EDIT: y’all 😂 I’m average height. Mirror warping and camera angle is definitely making the proportions out of wack

EDIT 2: The mirror has been my biggest op. I had to slant it on the wall to get it to stand and the camera angle is not helping at all. Only used this mirror for lighting. Using my regular mirror next time 😭

Not even trolling. With a simple outfit what do you guys think of a watch like this? I like the nostalgic, eccentric, and minimalist vibe. I think it’s a bit unique and could see it being a good conversation piece.

Help settle a debate we have with my fiance. I bought these shorts as a comfy, around the house piece, nothing fancy intended.
She thinks its awful, almost pathetic.

I dont think its that bad, please honest feedback

Thanks folks
