I guess I wear a jacket a lot more in the traditional style than a lot of people here - and that I see on the streets too. The fashion for some reason has gone to people wearing short stupid jackets.

The pants are too long like you say - but I like the width. I like a bit of room in mine anyway. Not quite on the MJ level with his enormous long jackets and baggy pants - but just a little space in the thigh and not really tapering below the knee - I just think that looks silly unless you're a stick insect.

I also don't like your shoes - I like a much plainer shoe with a suit - the buckle just jumps out at me. Looks a bit 80s mafia.

I understand your pov.  I have more traditional suits & will be acquiring more.  I think the jacket is shorter than usual, but not too short as in the current blazer craze.
I am going to keep it, at $165, good material and best overall fit.
At the tailor now, After pics next week:
-Lengthen sleeve $26
-Take in Center Seam $12
-Pants takeout waist $12
-Taper $12
$62 for alterations

Wow - your tailor is cheap!!!

It's the cleaners in the mall, we communicate well since he's a native dominican, the more I visit him the more comfortable I feel he's understanding the look I'm going for such as; minimal break on the pants & slim below the knee so that I can appear taller since my upper body is bird-esque.  He hooks it up with the 20% mall employee discount since my wife works in a store.




I might have to start mailing isht to get altered

Hey guys, I hemmed my own pants and I think I made it a tad bit too short. If I'm walking and it rises up to where you can see my sock and the whole top of shoe, is that too high?

 

[niidawg3]

thanks for all the comments guys ... might try to start posting more regularly after the world cup ends.

Gooooooooooooooo Ghana!!!

No shots...but the pants rolling, no socks, and boat shoes is a legit look? Usually never say @%%% is feminine but that is borderline.

Absolutely 100% feminine. Don't do it at all or you'll be getting bad looks all day long.

oxford white/blue shirt, khaki pants, matching belt and shoes - all pressed, all well fitting.

good luck

Would black dress pants work? Can you also recommend me some nice, but not too expensive, dress shoes? I don't have any so getting them now would help for future interviews and stuff. Thanks for the help nii.

Black pants would work - just a little tacky ... If you can grab a cheap pair of khaki, navy or charcoal grey pants those would serve you better.

For shoes i'd say check endless.com, zappos.com or some of the other popular online retailers if you have time. A pair of captoes or wingtips would be perfect for interviews. If you do not have the time, then my only other recommendations will be Nordstrom Rack, DSW (not my favorite place to shop, but they have some decent things) and maybe Banana Republic (if you have a code/coupon).

do you know where I can get some loafer socks?  I like the no sock look, but I don't like not wearing socks especially when temperatures start hitting triple digits here.

i bought some levi boat shoes yesterday for cheap and you can buy no-show socks at underground stations

 

[quincy powell]

I understand the khakis or slacks no socks with boat shoes its just the rolling up of the pant that I find iffy. I mean to each its own of course.

Just reminds me of the females with the boyfriend style. Those Adidas kicks are very clean though.

I haven't been in here in a while. summer clothing is just tees and jeans for me so no reason to even ask for any advice on anything

But here..I'm at work looking for a hooded peacoat for the winter (obviously) either black or navy where should I start?
Also has anyone tried Dockers D1 khakis?
