Dressing better

[rfx45]

I got them on deep discount from Yoox and are now all out.
They still have a few Paul Smith shoes at Yoox though for a great price, 40%-50% off retail.
The Alden Unlined Chukkas is a good alternative for $370.

That is the one I originally wanted but went with the Paul Smiths instead.

You definitely made the right choice. I love the indy boot styling thrown in, which is what I originally wanted but I don't like the colors they come in.

Do ps fit like the usual uk shoe, size down one?

 

[rfx45]

Paul Smith is very inconsistent when it comes to sizing.
I can fit in a UK6.5-UK8. The PS Borellis are UK8 but I could easily fit in a UK7.5 but I prefer the extra room for thicker socks.
I wear a 9.5-10 in Jack Purcells/Jordans/Nikes for reference.

Hey fellas,

im after some grey dress slacks that have a nice tappered fit, im overseas though, is there any you can suggest that can purchased online? I will most likelyget them tailored eventually.

TIA

You have great style niidawg3. Just out of curiosity, what do you do for a living?

EDIT:

Found Topmans site, how 'skinny' is their smart trousers? Im 5'9 #!% with a slim build, probably a 29-30" waist. Should I go for a 28 - is itin to have shorter leg lengths?

Probably going for the 1st, 2nd or 3rd options.
Looking at these:

1.
Nice fit, I just dont like that darker grey on the wasitline.. and maybe could be a lighter grey (its approaching summer here)


2.
Like this color/fit, but not sure about the cuffs at the bottom - can these be removed/unfolded? I think this is almost what im looking for 90%


3.
Like this color/fit, nearly the same as above (same title on the website), but just without the cuffs. Material looks a lot thicker though..


4.
These are a bit lighter in color and look the lest attractive out of the four in relation to pictures. I do like the color though..

get the best fitting shirt in your size around the neck .. and have the sides altered (with darts) to form fit.

i'm not skinny either, but can find stuff to work after looking hard and making the tailor my best friend.

Another question regarding shirts, how do you get a clean tuck-in?

I have a nice fitted shirt, but the back doesnt seem that neat when tucked it, its like I have a pocket of air at the top of my back,

when you guys take pics like that, do you roll your jeans like that to show us the shoes, or do you literally wear your pants like that all day?

cosign

i was about to buy a brooks brother white oxford but i was like damn, im too poor for this
any alternatives?

H&M has those non-iron white shirts for $15 and you can probably find some ties there for $10 as well.
For ties, I noticed that you can find a decent one at Ross, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, etc... for around $10 from brands like CK and KC.

Thanks for the help but, no H&M or Marshalls, Ross in my area.
I scout out my TJ Maxx, but usually don't find much.
Any other ideas for white oxfords or white shirts?
Any good brands I can order online or something?

I wear them like that through out the day.

I'm a fan of the highwater look and personally don't like breaks at all.

I personally wouldn't wear the pocket square, but what's wrong with it?...I see a blazer, dress shirt, tie, jeans, and 'bucks?

 

[tmak15]

It might be the conked lookn hair, or the sleeves of the blazer rolled up, maybe

 

[conv3rge]

yeah your hair is a wreck in my opinion man haha

I just couldnt rationalize that someone would roll their pants up like that in public, thats why I asked
