Dressing better

[nyc game]

Man I wanted to get the clark black leather dessert boots badly, but they only sold in UK and Clarks doesn't ship overseas

trued to Ebay it but no luck.

 

[shaze804]

Can never go wrong with simplicity...

the Blazers are dope. the vest is a little too small in comparison to the jeans. a slimmer pair of jeans would have gone better (not too much slimmer though)
and yeah, the sleeves on the shirt are too big. a slimmer shirt would have worked better. but overall i like the fit. 

i would suggest getting some disel or levis 511 jeans. you could also look into some nudie slim jims

I don't usually do this, but I kind of liked my fit here. On the left. Lol

::gets flamesuit ready::

that would look dope with a pair of yeezys.

Start by buying your size, the waist on your jeans is at least two sizes too big. Once you get that down, just try different cuts until you find one that's comfortable.

cream: sorry, im not feeling it.

clothing itself is fine, however imo, the colors contrast too much, but thats just me. its decent compared to what i see on the streets these days.

 

[rsdplaya]

levis 511.

 

[shogun]

You could roll up your sleeves and that would've eliminated the bagginess.  Same with cuffing your jeans.  The jeans don't look too big, just long.

 

[getthismoney]

I think cream's fit is just fine. I may have switched the shoes to some driving mocs or something else but other than that its cool.

 

[russ tha g]

Yeah, Cream's outfit is cool. I wouldn't have done those shoes, personally, but they're not bad.

i think you're on the right track.  first and foremost is to be comfortable in your own skin.  no matter how well the clothes fit or how good they look, your personality will show far greater.  dressing "better" doesn't happen overnight.  since your weight fluctuates, i wouldn't bother with tailoring anything unless you're at the final weight you want to be at.  from there can you start making decisions on what looks good on you, what you like and how you like clothes to fit.  GQ isn't a manual but merely a magazine full of trends.  but the best advice they always give is to find pieces that you can keep in your wardrobe 10yrs down the road.  congrats on your graduation.

 

[hymen man]

The blazers ruin that fit, IMO.

 

[fade on you]

Ebay has a Black Ben Sherman Messenger Bag for $17.99 shipped for those who are looking for a bag.

Not bad imo.

for the most part.

Same I dont buy too may of their tees found a cardigan there once...as for Jcrew i caught their sale alot of my sizes gone but gap has alot of look-a- like shirts not the same exact quality but good enough for me

Was at Vegas over the weekend but i'm here, just do not post as much as I haven't taken fit pics in a while. When it gets warm, it goes back to basic jeans and tee so it isn't too interesting enough to post here.

Haha, agreed...its been super muggy out here NYC side of things. So its really just been basic vneck tees and shorts. 
However, everyones been complimenting my tees...get vnecks from Forever 21 (EEK! of all places, i know). My girl dragged me in there, i didnt even know they had am men's section!

BUT they have a ton of plain tees and vnecks. I get the $6.90 ones. I'll post a pic later maybe because the fit on me is perfect. The V and sleeves are just how i like it too: fitted but not tight, and not at all loose.

Only thing is they may shrink easy. Better steal than the pima cotton tees i was gonna get from BR for $15 each

try www.sportiela.com/, last time I checked they had the black and white pair. But, call to check because they are very good on updating inventory.....

 

[sn souljah]

CheGTR, yea i bought a few of the forever21 plain crew necks, they are very cheap but the quality on them is on par with old navy plain tee/vnecks . they do shrink but all  cotton shirts do...but for 6 bucks u cant go wrong..
also u should check out nordstrom rack or marshalls, if u have one by u..because i just picked up a CK and polo RL 3 pack of vnecks..they got em in white and black..the price was $14 for a pack of 3..pretty good deal imo..
