Thoughts?

Got it for 84.


Also I have a question, where can I get slacks that fit like chinos. I HATE slacks, but my new job doesn't allow chinos. So I'm wearing my express slacks. They're solid, but they don't have a good khaki color there.


Anywhere I should check out? The banana republic ones are a terrible fit.
I'm gonna have to tailor the hell out of em.
I'm sure someone else can answer but I'm just curious what you mean by "slacks that fit like chinos"?
 
Pinoy732-

Your jacket isn't long enough, the shirt not pressed and hair not side swiped enough.

BR blazers are great OFT esp for around 60-90 bucks. way better than HM/zara/express quality.
Cop a navy or gray slacks fam. U dont need khaki wool trousers if that is what you are referring to by "slacks"
 
Dressing better bros,

Recommend me a light weight fitted dress shirt for under a suit jacke. These Houston summers are no joke.

I was confused by that too. He probably meant a lower rise.
My bad, I meant like a tighter fit.
My slacks are always wide and don't really fit slim, my chinos fit perfectly and are tighter around the leg.

Also do slacks have to be that silky material, or are there other alternatives?

In all seriousness I have about 7 Tommy Hilfiger and Polo Dress shirts that I rotate during the summer. I pick them up from TJMaxx and Marshalls for about 15-30 a piece. My company goes casual in the summer.

Try J. Crew Ludlow trousers for cheaper ones. Those are as slim as my designer brands.

Trousers or slacks as you call, have a certain silhouette. The material doesn't matter. I have trousers made from cotton, wool and denim.

Where can I find cotton ones? 

I hate these express "wool" ones

The ones I have are from Epaulet. They are a bit pricier than mall brands.

J. Crew has them as well. I think they're called J. Crew Ludlow in chino or something like that.

I couldn't live in a place that got that hot. I'd have to dress like people in the middle east with those loose white pants and shirts.

it gets so hot here that in the summer during the work week i usually just wear some of my lacoste polos..i prefer em over all my RL ones cuz ive grown to like the slimmer euro cut . even though i have the arms of a 10 year old
 
Working in a district attorney's office, I have to wear a suit regardless of how hot it is lol

Any other recommendations on light weight dress shirts?

Look into Ministry of Supply dress shirts if you're down to spend $90-100 . They look a little weird since it's basically a Dri-Fit dress shirt, but under a suit no one will notice. I swear by these when it's extra hot and I have to be in warm environments/wear a suit/go clubbing in a spot with no ventilation. Linen blend shirts aren't enough for me and at that point I care much more about staying cool and avoiding visible sweat stains than luxurious Egyptian cotton or w/e.
