Here's the look I want:
Where should I go shopping? I'm willing to spend a considerable amount for quality since I'm now an adult
Why not go to a custom shop and have one tailor made to your specs?
I def thought about this route as well. ProperCloth.com and BlankLabel.com were the two site I was thinking about. Have experience with either? I'm not against off the rack but just concerned about that look.

No to that shirt, it will look like you just got out of the office. I'd wear a jacket/blazer with that fit too, even if it is semi-formal, shirt with tie just looks very high-schoolish, like you're going to a winter formal. Brown shoes is fine if you can pull it all together but black shoes as a safe route since it'll look sharp with a navy trousers. I say just wear some nice slim white shirt with some dark tie.

White shirt, black pants, and going to buy some black captoe shoes whenever I find a pair that I like and wont kill my bank account.
I kinda want a wool tie, do I need wool pants to pull that off?

Eiddy, I agree. I was rocking a "slub" type shirt and my collar was dead.

From everything I have heard I would stay away from the $10 jeans. They are apparently extremely thin and will wear out super fast, rather spend the money on their normal jeans they offer. Received some of the +J slim tapered flannel pants today from Uniqlo, fit is spot on for what I was looking for.Originally Posted by shogun
It's a promotion for their 2 new stores opening up. One opened up last week and the other this week.
I would go and buy like 10 pairs but I already bought 3 pairs of jeans recently. My RRL pair has been awesome so far.

Anyone here have an idea of how the Dockers and Dockers Slim Fit shirts fit like? I checked the sizing charts for both fits but the "slim fit" shirts still look like they run big

I'm medium build and the alpha's fit like super skinny jeans on me... The Perry Ellis slim fit is perfect

That is a bit too generic and easy. Unless it's a formal event, I wouldn't really go for a pure black and white look. Stick with the navy pants, some nice and slim white shirt with some brown shoes and matching belt plus a solid or subtle patterned navy tie?

Where is a good place to find decent priced cardigans in store? Im reluctant to order online because of sleeve lengths.

Skagen is a nice and solid brand but do not pay retail for them, they are always on sale. You can go to Nordstrom Rack or Marshalls/Ross and see them on sale in the jewelry section. For $180 or less, Timex Easy Reader is a decent choice and for 1/4th your budget. You can also check out Seiko. Browse around Jomashop.com and see if you find something you like. If you sign-up for their e-mail they'll give you a $20 off coupon too.

Cool, cool appreciate the advice Rfx....ill try and hit up jomashop for some options, I actually have the easy reader and a couple different NATO straps, definitely a solid watch...any Seikos in particular you would recommend to be worn with a suit in a more formal setting?

Can someone give me a critique on the fitment of this jacket?
I bought this a few years ago when i was fatter.
Had it altered at my local laundromat ($20).
Then i soaked it in hot water to shrink it a TAD bit. Deciding if I should chuck it in the dryer and have it shrink even more.

Not personally, but I hear mostly good things about their suits in general...most important of course is that you take accurate measurements!!

Just getting some opinions on this outfit that I plan to emulate. Would it be too casual for a club?
