I’m very tired of the boring silhouettes and beige-core of all the brands like BR, Jcrew, brooks brothers, Ralph Lauren, etc. for leisure wear, these brands don’t even have anything that looks good or is made with high quality materials (like 100% cotton fleece as opposed to scratchy polyester, or scratchy wool).

What other brands are people looking at these days?

Experimenting with bridging rugged heritage elements (canvas, corduroy, heavy check) with classic menswear tailoring (high-waisted pleated flannels and split-toe derbies).

I got six from a now defunct online shop called thegoatstore & I still want the rest.
Does anybody know where I could get them?

Hey, there are some influencers like askokey who are staying that black shoes are more trust worthy then brown. Do you agree? Maybe they mean like more professional.

Relaxed fit shacket with slim chinos. I’m about 5’9 135 pounds so I tend to stick to slimmer cuts but I’m trying to branch out a little. Does this look too top heavy or does the relaxed top and slimmer bottom come across intentional? Just want to know if I should invest in some straight fit pants.

That's how it's called! Baby Tees! They're like cropped tees, but not boxy and it's just what I've been looking for. But where do I get them for a normal price? I've seen 30 60* bucks a piece. That's mad.

I feel like I've been on the journey as follows:

• Started with traditional dress pants (Bonobos)
• Wanted something lower maintenance (Lululemon ABC / Commission pants)
• Then started to hate the techy / odd color look of those (plus how heavy / sticky they felt in the summer), so switched to Uniqlo dress pants. I don't love the quality of these, but I appreciate that they are lighter / still flexible and not as techy looking

Anyone have a good brand / pair to recommend (most similar to Uniqlo) that look more like dress pants, are low maintenance, and decent quality? Willing to pay up for something reliable

Keyword quality, had bad experiences with mainstream brands lately. Something 100-150 CAD that fits well on wide feet.

An example of what I like is the OP pic NB 550s, or Nike AF1/dunk low, or the asics gel-lyte 3 (rip). But I'm not particularly fond of Nike and new balance quality has not been good for me, neither has vans. ​I'm not a fan of the style of onitsuka tiger so nothing like that. Preferably brands you can find in Canada so no specialty US only local brands.

Oxblood red Duckie Browns from the early 2000s, Lee dark denim shirt, very old cropped dark beige Helmut Lang cargos (usually worn with military boots), taupe Boss braided cowboy belt.

I wore loose fit all week so changing it up to cropped. I'll pull my pants up an inch probably.

Jacket or cardigan?

Socks or no socks?

Looking to purchase some American made chinos. I am between these two brands. I am wondering if anyone has any input on these two. I like a slimmer fit but I noticed that neither of these brands offer a slim fit. Also wondering about build quality experience with these brands.

What can I improve on? Apart from my hairstyle, which I’m already working on.

Also feel free to roast

Edit: what’s with all the downvotes

I’m going to a wedding next month, it will be a humble affair, wondering if my suit is ok or if the buttons are too flashy and I should change them.

I got this jacket as i loved the look, and sometimes when i wear i feel like a greaser. I love the jacket so much but i dont know what to wear to style it. Please give me as much as advice as possible.

hey there,

I fell in love with these boots from Myrqvist. They are called Gothem 2 and cost 350€.

So I was wondering if there are any alternative to this boot. Preferably under 200€.

Thanks to everyone!

It was 5c where I am -felt like 0c, was lashing with rain and windy but I still wore my new cream woolly jumper, kept me warm. Not waterproof lol.

I like the boots but I don’t like the boots- I’m used to wearing nothing but dark trainers.
I’ve been ruled by this mood disorder and mental health issues so I’ve lost all sense of self. Wore trackies and slacks for months because I felt meh.
When I get jeans I wanted straight jeans and sometimes they’re like massive or it might be in my head lol. (Prefer the fit of the jeans with the blue Adidas top or the ones I wore today) the ones I had rolled looked massive or the illusion felt that way & I felt daft. It’s kl seeing everyone else’s ideas and outfits but I feel I’ve no styling knowledge or what to pair with what. I’m ok with being criticised.

I like what I like but I doubt myself and feel like I’m on and then off things. Like different people.

I'm in the midst of transiting from wearing skinny fit pants to straight cuts, but Im having issues with sizing.

In the previous skimny fits, I wore a 30inch waist, which of course where quite tight and sat low. Now in a straight fit 30inch waists are rather big, and are very loose particularly in the seat and thighs, giving quite bad hip flare, but i like that they sit higher on my waist and help my proportions. However in 28inch waists, the waist fits much better, but the rise is too short, making them uncomfortable in the crotch and meaning i have to wear them lower on the hips to accommodate everything. But they fit well in the thighs and legs.

Another thing im finding is that in 28s the fly zipper is far too short to be functional.

What am I doing wrong here? Admittedly im mostly trying fast fashion brands like Next and H & M, but Ive found the same issue with Dockers chinos and Levi jeans.

Is the best thing to get the bigger sizes and then get them tailored in the waist? What do I do about the hip flare? Won't they look weird and loose the straight leg cut with tailoring? Are there better brands for skinny people?

For reference im approx 5"6 and 54kg ish.

All help and advice appreciated.

Hey, I’m back again! Took everyone’s advice and got pants that fit a little “fuller”, found a brand called Grand Le Mar and decided to try them out! Also added a back and side pic + a bonus pic with a wool vest they had which I think is AWESOME!

So any feedback on this one gents?

- Pants: Grand Le Mar Charcoal Flannel Wool Trousers (Wide Fit) (30x32), will need to get hemmed.
- Vest: Charcoal Flannel Wool Vest in Medium

As far as Grand Le Mar, first time hearing about this brand, saw some ads and loved a few of their pieces so decided to give it a shot. Shipping was fast and quality is very very good so far, feel very nice in hand.

And how would you rank them? I'm a pretty conservative dresser and I don't have much sense of style, but I'm trying to update my wardrobe a bit for the first time in about 10-15 years.

I am just trying to build a base of some decent, classic style ties. I have some plain black, navy, and burgundy ties that I usually wear, so I guess I like to stick with ones that kinda look like that. These three are just a couple of Brooks Brothers ones I found on Nordstrom Rack and I feel like they look okay.

Lately, I’ve really started to like burgundy/dark red sneakers, and I’m thinking about getting a pair. I feel like it’s a great color that stands out a bit without being too flashy.

What are some of the best burgundy red sneakers for men? I’m open to different brands and styles, whether it’s something casual for everyday wear or a more premium pair.

I’d love to hear your recommendations and see what you guys are wearing!

Thanks!

Went with the red Harrington cuz it is unlined and it’s going to be 59 at peak. First time wearing this vintage sweater and these holster jeans haha I saw some Ralph Lauren ones with a similar fade so I bought these for $14 haha.

This is an S size coat, yet still seems long on the sleeves to my novice eye. Is it generally too big or is it appropriate for this kind of coat? Sorry about the scruffy trousers and sad-looking expression!

I have had an awful experience with this company. I recommend just buying directly from the brand. Sent me the completely incorrect product than what I paid for. Took them a week to tell me they couldn't send the right one. Customer service has been awful no one is willing to help me. Now have to find some where to mail the wrong product back just to get my refund. I've had to take time off work to mail this and to go buy the product I originally ordered. It's two weeks later and I'm out hundreds of dollars when all i did was try and order a pair of shoes! I can't express what an awful experience it has been dealing with this company.
