Dressing Better Vol 2.0

I've seen a huge influx of tassel loafers this spring and I love it. Really want a suede pair
 
Lyonbc can you post a pic of you wearing one of your shirts please? I'm trying to determine if I should go that route for my wedding.

The drivers from Minnetonka are in between that loafer and driver look and I will say they are ridiculously comfortable. Funny that two times I wear them to work is the times that my students; guys and girls alike comment on my shoes, which is usually reserved to sneakers lol. I do want a pair of suede tassel loafers though.

Denim suit anyone? http://tsbmen.com/28197/horizontal-stripes-feat-adam-lampell/3/
 
The color is nice, I don't really like the frill (or whatever it's called) or the sole.
I would grab these from Nordstrom if they made my size

didn't read the article, but I wonder how that would feel? I like the color, but not sold on denim as fabric for a suit

Not sure but it doesn't look to be overly stiff denim, I may ask to see the fabric next time I go for the sake of texture. Next suit from them for me will probably be a 3 piece suit.
 
Speaking of loafers, I want some exotic animal skin like gator or snakeskin loafer but that would probably ran a couple thousand :x

I got my first 3 suits I'm buying down.

Simple navy one from suitsupply that I'll probably buy sometime this year.
a Double breasted suit
then a 3 piece.

I used to hate double breasted and 3 piece suits but now I love them.
 
I took one to a tailor and she didn't have any problem doing it. Just cut the sleeves basically and sewed em back up. There might be a better/more complicated way but it worked well for me and the new short-sleeve version fits well.

Might have to try this out. I have a long sleeve navy polka dot that I want to turn into short sleeve, probably depending on the price

I want a navy 3 piece which will likely be from SuitSupply or Indochino, I'm still on the fence on a DB suit for me, since I doubt I'd wear it much.
 
Ordered these bad boys:

I am excite. Up to this point, my best dress shirts were express :lol Glad I'm finally stepping it up.

I'm gonna sound like a huge hypocrite here but oh well.

I own like 7 CT shirts. I'm actually wearing the white extra slim fit shirt right now. I'm convinced this isn't really a quality brand. Their stuff is ALWAYS on sale so don't feel like you're ever really saving. Their initial high prices marked down are their gimmick. Yeah better than an express shirt but same exact quality as anything generic you'd buy from a department store. Also the extra slim barely passes for a slim fit. I think it'll be bigger than you want.

I'm still on the hunt for a better every day dress shirt. The only one I wear now is the non-iron.
Nah man that's fine. That's what I was saying earlier in the month when the sale first appeared. That $130 I'm saving is bull**** but exactly what you were saying, it will be better than express so I'm cool. I paid around those prices for their shirts so a step up around this range is what I was looking for. As for the slim fit, I'm not the skinniest dude anyway so I'm hoping that that means their "extra slim" is right up my alley. Thanks for the input though bro.
 
The UNIQLO×Michael Bastian Polos went up today for anyone who forgot/is interested. I managed to grab this one in a small. The sizing chart says it should fit but I'm a little worried it'll be too tight.

Decided to wear my only other polo shirt I have today

Double breasted with peak lapel is money. Can't wait to get one, it'll be a couple of years though more than likely.

Their ESF is not really slim at all.

I'm 5'7 @ 165 with a pretty gnarly beer gut. I bought a 16x33 and the waist is still big on me.

You are either choosing the wrong brand for your body type or you will need to get them altered. Keep in mind the amount of pulling, pinching, and pinning on models too.
 
Buy slim fit short sleeved shirts. Either that or hit the curl bar, dumbbells and tricep pulldowns lol.
