I think that pleats look very nice, especially on heavy wool pants.

Pleats are associated with older gentlemen, thats pretty well known. Not sure why you would think GQ has anything to do with that

Pleats are generally frowned upon because they add bulk, which most men these days just don't need.  They're associated with older men because of a time when pleats were stylish/the norm no matter what your shape, which means a lot guys wer wearing pleats when they did nothing for their form.  A guy with Bron's body doesn't have to worry about all of that, though - the pleats look great, kinda looks like a Gatsby throwback.

Quick question,

I remember a few heads in here picking these up when they dropped last fall/winter -

Can anyone offer advice on sizing? Do they run big like most boots?

I've had to size down as much as 1 full size in regular wheat Timbs before, although likely would .5 size down now. Other boots I've purchased recently, however I've had to go true. Lookin for opinions before I pull the trigger.

I picked up this Missoni x Target sweater today on impulse. Still on the fence about keeping it. Thoughts? (The right sleeve looks really scrunched but it fits fine I think)

The zig-zag lines are obnoxious. Unless loud things like that are your steez I'd return it.

^ Agreed. I'm pretty simplistic when it comes to clothing.

This is just personal taste, but I don't like those front pockets, heh.

Posted in the jacket thread but...

Anyone interested? 36 @ AF, it's on slickdeals homepage.

 

[mitchellicious]

Whoever was looking for the boots that are similar to Desert Boots, but were too expensive. Urban Outfitters have a whole heap on their website for relatively cheap and in all different colors and styles. Worth a look.

 

[streetballa2311]

^ i say take it back. the zig zags are doing to much for me. imo

Only one I disagree with - "Only wear a tie if you’re also wearing a suit or sportcoat (or, very casually, a sweater). Shirt, tie and no jacket is the wedding uniform of a nine-year-old."

[scoopz]

those skinny pleats look nice and a bit different, since no one wears 'em anymore.

too bad they're burberry prorsum

 

[jordansneakerhead23]

I haven't mess with Dockers in a long time, but I just picked up their SF Tapered pants and the fit is

[jusdre86]

Too lazy to look through this whole thread. Recommend me some shoes that will look good in jeans. Nothing bulky like desert boots

Looks good!

 

[chaostheory]

^ wearing that to water your grass?? Hah, styling.

 

[shoemasta72]

I actually was watering my grass before I left. I just figured people would ask why the concrete was wet, the hose, etc.

 

[i3]

Definitely get some light colored khaki and navy chinos.. they're so comfortable and gives you a break from denim etc..

 

[hendrix watermelon]

what happened to UNIQLOs online shop?
Really wanted to order some stuff for fall.

 

[donjuan513]

Got to wear my Mark McNairy Derby's yesterday.

Been thinking about pulling the trigger on some Alphas. Fit looks nice

 

[Mark Antony]

Yeah they actually look nice, should've jumped on that 17 dollar kohl's deal a while back.
