I actually like the angles. Facebook-esque would be him with a cell phone in a mirror or something. The whole angle take on it gives it his own personality and still properly shows the fit...thats just IMO

It's called having an opinion. If you don't like theirs then ignore it like the rest of us do. It's an open forum.

Sure people can have their opinion and take "gramps" jabs but if you don't have anything to contribute like say some constructive criticism or "I'm not feeling this because..." then why waste your time?

I think some of these young'ns are getting confused when they enter this thread. Dressing better doesn't mean some baggy Girbaud jeans and an extra long Polo. As for complaining about the pics of people's outfits, I don't see how that is excessive? I mean, yes people could just show images of the clothing but the way it fits and accessories is probably one of the most important parts of dressing better.
Anyhow, as I digress, what checks do you guys perform when trying on a suit jacket? I like what aceofjays did by getting the tailoring done, but do you look for the jacket to have a certain fit before even purchasing it? I guess it's rather difficult to find a suit jacket that fits right out of the gate.

I agree, but this is NT and we all know how it goes. Enough of that talk though, back to the thread at hand

If that's directed at my WDYWT comment, it's just my opinion. This thread sustained itself for long enough without being odd angle pics of some of dudes' outfits. It's just not my thing, I never participated in WDYWT threads whether it is streetwear or dressing better. I think it's a little odd but that's my opinion.
I pay attention to this thread because of information and if there's any input or questions I have, I make it known. My style is more in line with this thread than "typical" NTers so I'll stay in.

Not you, Eiddy. son got the shirt tucked in high above his waist with them pants and shoes that ain't modern or dressing better to me at all, it just looks old and outdated. This is my opinion though. Wanna know what i think this thread has turned into? with the exception of maybe nii and rfx, cats that really do this, ya'll dudes are just throwing anything together that isn't what ya'll wore 2 yrs ago, without thought or effort and have a pretentious sense of entitlement that it's right no matter what, and that this is supposed to be one big @+***$! lovefest where no criticism is allowed and not a dressing better thread. Funny thing is the cats i check for in the thread either pay no mind to overly harsh and worthless criticism, or address it appropriately. I invite the emotional groupies to do the same, or otherwise choke yaselves.

I understand where you are coming from, me bein one of the dudes that lately has been pretty active on here can tell you that I appreciate to see a piece on the average Joe like when RFX posts or ESCO or NIi, rather than when a picture of a GQ spread is posted, mainly because it seems more true to what the piece would look like in real life, rather than the perfect height, physique and model for that pair of pants, shirt, jacket....therefore I myself try to contribute and I only post when I feel I've thrown something on across the lines of what "Dressing better" may be...obviously I've learn that jays, foams, sb's, cargo shorts and graphic tees do not fall in that category, so those type of fits can stay in the WDYWT....that's just my take on it. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with you.

if you like it then get it because that's all that matters anyway.
My opinion....not feeling it, it would be cool if it was a coat but as a cardigan no

Constructive criticism is one thing, but from what I've generally seen from you in this thread, you're outright making fun of people. It's just pretty ironic because many of your comments fit into the "worthless criticism" category. I'm also not quite sure why anyone would pay attention to worthless criticism in the first place. Also, it's fashion so I don't really believe there is a "right" and "wrong", it's mostly opinion based.

Didn't know there was so much animosity and supressed emotions towards this thread, I haven't been here that long but I thought this was a thread for inspiration, information and C&C...if what it takes is for dudes to post fits of what they feel is "dressing better" then let it be, I personally have enjoyed Ace's fits...wether his reason for posting is attention or groupie love, I really don't care, dude pulls it together. Since I started posting here, the dude that impressed me most is Nii, but I'm rarely suited up, so I can't really pick up anything from his sense of style....but I'm sure someone out there is...and to me that's the point of the thread, or no?

Forgot to post what I came in here for in the first place.
I'm getting a nice pair of denim whenever this check comes in. Any help on what to get? All I wear now are 514s, I want them a little slimmer but tapered at the bottom.
What APCs are like that? Or any other brand actually, trying to stay under around 200

Keep doing u man, both your fits and Aceofjays, fits have been inspiring me to wear different pieces together that I never even thought would work...

You can size up on a skinny fit pair from the Gap, they have a few which are
or you can try out the 484's vintage slims from JCREW...they only have 4 washes, but IMO those are some of the best fitting jeans I've owned, you can also size up on some 511's...that's what I'd do if I wanted a slimmer look, with a tapered bottom, without asphyxiating your nuts.
I've yet to try any of those fancy Nudies and APC's....but from what I've seen they look very slim unless they have other models.
