Something about the shoes draws too much attention to your feet IMO

IDK

I think that's mainly due to how short the jeans are; they don't crease over the shoes.

I'm taking this girl out to a wine bar tonight, so I'm thinking I'll wear grey pants, a yellow button-up shirt (tucked, sleeves rolled), and a black vest. Maybe I'll bust out a nice watch for the occasion as well.

Guys, I need assistance!

Going out this Friday and I'm looking for a suitable blazer as I'm going smart/cas,

Can anyone tell me where I can get this blazer, or a very similar blazer from? I'm UK based and am happy to collect it or pay lots of money for quick shipping.

I will be eternally grateful. I'll check the thread but just in case you are able to help, please PM me.

Little ribbers.
I don't have any specific advice but it looks like a grosgrain lapel trimmed blazer. no idea where you could get it on a short timeframe in the UK, sadly.

example:

I'd probably sniff around local stores up and down your area and see what you can do.
 
slim-true, regular length, slimmer through the body. the opening ceremony x gitman shirts fit a little smaller, slimmer and shorter IME. I'm 5'9" and a 40 chest and M works nicely for standard gitman, length is good too. I could squeeze into a small but it's edging it a bit.

they have the measurements on there too, fwiw.

Just when I was about to buy the DH Strip waxed denim jacket, the guy on ebay sold it. ): If any of you see one of the Strip waxed denim jackets in 48, let me know.

That shirt is way too small imo. You could rock the slutty look, you just gotta get a bigger shirt.

Try Armani Exchange's shirts. AX stuff is usually crap, but their basic shirting is actually pretty decent.

I'd also get a v-neck. It will help your figure.

Yeah? That's a large. You think I'd have to wear a XL?

Small sizes, good prints, cheap. Choose two

idk, I feel like this is bullshit. Pretty much everyone who wears current pattern trends is a S or XS, so that should be a given. "Good" prints are so subjective anyway; I just want a little variety. And cost v quality? Again, I'm super skeptical about this. I don't give a toss if my shirt is hand-stitched by craftsmen in an Oregon barn or individually dyed with local floral extracts in an Italian river, and I've never had an article of clothing fall apart no matter how much or little it cost, so paying out the nose for supposed high-end quality doesn't hold much water with me -- based entirely on anecdotal evidence, so whatevs I guess.

There are low-priced imitations and knock-offs of virtually every other fashion trend (especially for women, ugh), dunno why mens shirts can't seem to get in on this action.

Topman, H&M, Asos all have prints.

And I've owned and tried on shirts from all of those brands. Stuff like Gitman really is superior. And if you're buying a shirt like Gitman you should just alter it if it isn't a jesus fit.

Dunno, maybe crazy prints aren't on the knock off level of Isabel marantz.
 
target henleys are eeeeh, placket stitching is weak imo. buuut they're also like $12 or something. AX does have some plain stuff that is a little nicer put together. alternative apparel too.

henleys are the swole man's dressy v neck

I'm hitting up the king of Prussia mall this weekend then on the quest to find a Henley. I think they have the most stores of any mall in the nation so I should find something.

You could rock a slightly loose linen shirt and look like a badass

2 buttons undone tho

Gotta make you look swole

Similar to this? (Should have spent more time ironing it but I was in a rush :/)

Your shirt is fine, aside from the arms. Since you work out your arms are much larger than average, and thus the arms will look tight.

I usually wear a small v-necks for the length and fit around the waist, but the arms are still fairly tight on me due to exercise, and I am pretty slim.

These shirts are made for the model bodies, which are slim but have muscle, and on those slim bodies the sleeves are tight as well, so for swole as fuck guys like your it will just look small. The torso on that shirt looks fine though.

In my opinion you look fine. Or you can move more towards casual button up shirts.
