Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[sn souljah]

Yeah, nobody is praising Uniqlo like that... don't know what mans is talking about. It also is far better than H&M.

On a side note: I was out at a club for the first time in ages and every other dude had on Chelsea boots. But they looked like the same... like some cheap H&M joints. Very ugly pointy looking joints. It just really stood out to me.

My favs are the Bottegas and SLP ones. CP are nice too. Boots have to be good quality for them to appear nice. Otherwise they just look off.

I agree but like dude above said NR has good looking boots. I'm not saying this because I own and can only afford those. Im saying it because I've seen them pulled off nicely with some fits.

Jacket recommendations? Classy, semi professional look. Need one for work. Dress code is business casual. Thank you!

Budget? And how warm do you need it to be?

 

[truss]

Budget, athletic fit, stretch jeans with a light-ish wash?

 

[zmoney3]

what are some good skinny type jeans that look good with sneakers...like jordan 1s, etc

saw some people talking about Abercrombie Felix....anyone have these? If so, how are they?

 

[sarteaga0408]

Whats yall choice of style on tying ties? Do people really go by occasion? I just go full windsor no matter the occasion just because i like that big knot look.

Four in hand is the only knot you really need. Anything Dorito sized and big looks ridiculous.

Preferably $100 or below. Not overly warm, because I’m in California.

 

[robtoofresco]

Could never do any Chelsea besides SLP.

Their shape is literally perfect for my aesthetic.

Have been holding out for chained harness boots for the longest but my impatience is going to make me settle for the regular leather harness pair.

I personally like GAP skinny jeans. They usually have a 40-50% off deal. I take em to tailor to get tapered to 6.5. I’ve heard good things about Uniqlo

I’m a big fan of quilted jackets. You can dress them up or down. For a business casual work environment maybe one of these. Both less than $100:

These 2 below are my go-to jackets for work. (Business casual as well. Engineering firm though so I’m usually the best dressed dude in there ) both of these are Ralph Lauren:

How about sizing? I’m 5’9 175, muscular build

No clue on the jcrew factory ones I don’t own either of those. I’d go by the size chart and if it doesn’t work out just send it back to exchange it

what do you mean by get them tapered to a 6.5? Leg opening?

 

[slighted]

^ You go to a tailor, who tapers the jeans for you.

Usually, you tell him/her you want the jeans tapered/slimmed from the knee down to the leg opening at X inches (e.g. 6.5").
This will cost around $10-15.

A medium should be good

I'm 5'9 about 165 and have the jcrew factory black quilted jacket in a small.

Thoughts on oxford button downs with suits?

 

[pinoy732]

if its dress shirt length, it works better with separates vs a full suit (i.e. flannel navy jacket with heavy weight grey glenplaid trousers).

 

[jflo301]

Can anyone recommend some slim fitting gloves? Only ones I can think of are the North Face gloves everyone wears. I bought some leather shearling lined gloves from Ugg but they look so puffy on my hands.

Buy some gloves with cashmere lining. Not sure you can expect to find a slim fit gloves while keeping your hands warm at the same time.

 

[ballinsam23]

need leather gloves that are touch screen compatible

 

[typerpinoy]

I have a couple pairs of the leather gloves from club Monaco. Expensive at retail but I think I got mine for less than $50 each

 

[BranchLifestyle]

If anything, buy some of the thread that activates touch screen and sow into the tips of fingers. Rather simple and you won't have to buy new gloves.

Will look into this, thanks.

 

[shogun]

Yeah, your hands will be freezing in cashmere lined gloves. Maybe buy some handwarmers too.
