who is man enough?
I have a v-neck sweater pretty much the same color and love it.
:lol
You are of average male height. Leave the "short" territory to us 5'7" and under folk.
5'5" and rocking slim fits every day.

511's are my preffered type aswell. Just because I cant deal with all the excess material around my calfs.
I found a pair of GAP jeans and Uniqlo I bought maybe 4 years ago, tried them on and was just like "what the fuck was I thinking?"
Going to attempt to make them into half decent denim shorts for casual house/garden wear.

Just copped (are we still saying this?) some heather gray bowery pants from J. Crew. Probably the best fitting pants I've ever gotten without tailoring. I guess if I wanted I could get a slight taper down the ankles to make it look perfect.

Hey Alucrid I know you have a pair of generic gats. How comfortable would you say they are for walking?
If you throw in a pair of insoles to replace the ones they come with they're pretty good.

Thanks. I'll look into finding a pair for cheap.
Anyone recommend a a good leather Satchel Bag?
It needs to hold a laptop 13 inch in size with cables, a camera (mirrorless/ smal dslr), and a textbook at most.
colour: might go for any but grey/brown/dark blue/green is a plus
zips: appreciated.
I had my eyes on this but I doubt it would fit my camera and laptop:

Thanks, guys.
Nothing wrong with switching between styles. I'm trying to add a couple more street style looks into my wardrobe for Fall. Most of my stuff would be considered business casual/smarter looks right now.
I need a good black leather jacket though. Nothing fancy, not with a lot of pockets or epaulettes or anything, just some ribbed cuffs and a good fit. Anyone know if TOJ is back up yet?
Question: with a thin, white button-up shirt if I skip the undershirt, my nipples show. If I wear an undershirt, the sleeves show. What should I do? Maybe there's like, a 'nude' colored undershirt?
edit: some places say to wear a light gray undershirt and it will blend in with my skin. My skin is not gray, so I am skeptical. I am white with light-ish skin.
Maybe I should just avoid getting shirts that thin? Sucks when buying online.

Alright GAF, might as well ask it here. I hate my hair. It's awful. It's wavy/curly, so it won't go straight. It's thick as hell so it won't lay flat. It's blonde but not blonde blonde. I have dandruff (luckily shampoo keeps it at bay).
There it is. What should I do? It's growing wings near my ears and starting to curl. Anything that requires straight hair is completely out.

It's actually causing it.
I know. But I'm not in the position to just stop using shampoo for two months (or more) while my hair acclimates.
Tried it for a few weeks last summer. Did crap.
Face it Tiger..

Go to a great dresser, and ask them what they would do with it.
Also, what do you guys think about the Ray-Ban Signets?

I was looking into them, and my wayfarers fit well on my face but I feel they are too generic.

I'm not saying to stop using shampoo altogether. Find a mild soap and use that a few times a week. Might be rough at first, but once your scalp stops the overproduction of sebum your dandruff should get better. I had dandruff as well. Dr Bronner's bar soap once or twice a week and it's gone. No dandruff, hair doesn't smell, I'm good. Use a decent conditioner every few days if you're afraid of smell.
Just say no to graphic tees imo. Although DBH is one of the better sites for them I suppose.

so bought two square ties yesterday, one blue and one burgundy, will try to post pics later when i'm home. tried them on with a tip clip and they can look pretty smart/formal i think (depending on the rest of the outfit)

So, fashion gaf, I could use some tips.
Just picked up two suits for my law school OCI's. One navy blue Hugo Boss "modern fit" and one charcoal grey Calvin Klein "body fit"
Just need some good shoes, shirts, belts and ties to complete the look.
Any recommendations on some good quality stuff that won't break my bank account?
Trying to keep it simple and understated: plain white shirts, cap toe or plain oxfords with thick leather soles, and understated ties that aren't too bright or flashy. I'm a complete dummy when it comes to this stuff and anything I already know I learned from the internet.

Why the long case?
Wow, awesome site. Seems the skinny ties are all 2.5" though? I just bought a bunch of 1.5" and 2" ones from amazon. Wish I had known about that site regardless.

You should subscribe to GQ. These random awesome websites are always featured in their magazines.

I do not avoid women, GAF, but I do deny them my essence.
Dude, short guys should only wear slim cut styles. :lol
It keeps up an illusion until taller people walk into a room. :\
I'm short and if my shit isn't slim I feel like I look tiny.
edit: Wait, you're 5' 9" and complaining about being short? Fuck you, I'm 5' 6". :|

this is for canvas too?

I I'm only 5' 9", but I couldn't imagine being any shorter. No offense.
you have a poor imagination then

I don't know why you guys complain about height. Being tall isn't even that great.

I'm not sure about canvas. It'll clean it, but melamine foam (magic eraser) is a mild abrasive, so I'd use very light strokes. I think it'd be fine though, canvas is pretty tough.

Tumi has some nice ones. I specifically wanted a nice wallet that wasn't leather on the outside, and I was able to get one from them.
Clothes look awesome on tall people.
Plain shirt and plain trousers. I'd say, get some accessoires to 'customize' a bit more. Personal favorites would be scarf and bracelet, but it's up to you to decide, of course. Otherwise you could try a vest or something.
Or don't change anything at all if you don't want to, obviously. Cause first of all, you don't look 'bad' like that anyway. And secondly, even if I or anyone else thought you did, you should still flip the finger to that peer pressure and do whatever you like best. It's your body, your fashion and therefore your decision.
Other than the shoes it looks fine. Don't really like how they look and they look a bit flimsy.
hey, I need a jacket, my budget is around 100$, how good are these?

They are around 50$ at Zappos.

I'm liking the look of these TOMS (pretty basic)
But at the same time, I'm considering getting just a pair of black boots (something I've needed for a while) as well as the gray jeans. Also need another black pair of jeans too. In other words, I'm thinking about my fall wardrobe.

I mainly wear contacts, but at the end of the day, I put on my glasses to rest my eyes and read. But my old pair is getting super old and it slumps on my face.
I want something more distinguished that I can wear to work once in a while. What do you guys think of these?
(total price with lens - $115-150 depending on how thin I want my lens)
AND while I'm at it, I'll show you guys my latest pickups.
I just ordered these babies. Nike Killshot 2 from J. Crew. It's a simple summer shoe that goes with anything!
Also got some Retro Super Futures for half price
