I always wanted the white Akdmks one.

My nephew posted on my IG last week when I posted my All-Star Kobe #TBT post, how he met his girlfriend wearing Sean John black velour suit, my All-Star Kobe shoes that was 3 sizes too big on him and rust Timberland boots :lol:

Depends what you're wearing...seems like the definition of formal varies way more than I ever thought it did so I doubt you're talking about a tux.

I'm talking about like white dress pants and a white button-up. A pair of shoes to go with them.

Today:

crownedhead · May 21, 2014

So I recently got these Strands seconds from AE. Now, the shoe feels perfect on my foot...fits like a glove. However, there is a clearly visible bowing/flaring around the ankles when I'm standing. None when I'm not standing. I'm not sure if this is something that's kinda common in certain leather shoes.

My thoughts:

I'm guessing that even though it feels great on my foot, this might not be the right size.

It's slightly defective

This last just doesn't work for my feet.

Thoughts?

I have a pair of AE Kenilworths that do that, theyre flat out too wide, and they flare out like that too.

They seem to just be too big at the ankles. Looks like they fit well otherwise based on the fact the vamp is closed and your description. Not much you can do really. You can add a heel grip and see if it feels some space but not sure.

How can I get my pants looking like this, is it a cut or just need to hip the tailor.

Notice grey pants on first model.

They just look tapered to a really slim fit and it's not even that his legs are big but they fill out the pants (pause?). Kinda seems like they've stretched to accommodate his movement in the knees from bending them/squatting down, similar to what can happen with denim. If you stop it at 0:50 you can see what I'm talking about.

sn souljah · May 21, 2014

Ya'll ever gone to the tailor and ask them to do really small adjustments..like taper pants like 1/3 inch? I have some pants that fit great but would be perfect if it was like a tad slimmer.

ayzee · May 21, 2014

What's a nice pocket square for this combo (minus the flower thingy)?

get some of the AE cleaner conditioner.. after 1 or 2 applications the bowing will be greatly reduced if not eliminated completely. it softened up and smoothed the ankle creases on a pair cliftons i own. doesn't bow any more

1/3 of an inch is very minuscule. My tailor wouldn't advise to do anything less than half an inch since the outcome wouldn't make that much of a diff and it's hard on their part to be that pin point precise.

You have a lot of options, honestly.

Dude in this picture needs to take his pocket square out, unfold it, and stuff it back in.

ddh1122 · May 22, 2014

Is this correct or not?

You should always tuck in a shirt if: it has very long shirt tails, or it has shirt tails that are so clearly designed for tucking that they look unusual otherwise - signs of this would be that the front and back are much longer than the sides, and/or that there is a lot of extra fabric past the last button.

You should never tuck in a shirt if: it won't stay tucked. In that case, though, the shirt is probably too short on you. Basically it's always reasonable to tuck in a shirt, though because tucking in a shirt is somewhat more formal looking, with certain shirts and outfits it could look a little unusual.

grizzlyboy · May 22, 2014

Generally speaking, yes. Although I break this rule all the time. Guys on the shorter end should definitely follow this as well fitting clothes will make you look taller.

Not in this instance. With the lapel flower he needed the pocket square to be present but not overpowering. If he did not have the lapel flower he could do either. A pocket square isn't necessarily an attraction but rather an accessory used to break up the monotony caused by draping one’s chest entirely in one fabric .

pinoy732 · May 22, 2014

Stuff with silk. Fold with linen.

Rob, do you eem DBNT ?!

Yeah I find it hard to find shirts that are good length for me since I'm short.

I guess I'm just asking color-wise. Nothing too expensive. Should I go navy polka dots or deviate beyond navy?
