Dressing better

[classic]

what are some good khakis that i can wear with a hoodie or a plain white tee with some jordans?

I know there are a lot of trendy styles that are really "in" right now but i want a style/ fit that is fashionable, that i can also wear years down the road.

Im really tyring to pull off a casual look that still shows some sophistication, even though the aspects (jays, hoodie, white tee, etc) of an everyday teenager are there.

when i searched khakis in this thread i read dockers were something to stay away from unless you work at ibm or are over 40 years old

The K1s are designed to slimmer, more youthful. Plus Dockers has their own line of slim khakis as well. Or if you want get the Uniqlo khakis

Are you talking about Dockers??? I don't think Club Room has a Slim Fit City Chino. Dockers has em though. They're under the D1 Khaki's.

The d1 is straight leg at best. No way is it slim

Nope, they're made by Club Room.  and I know of those D1 khakis you're talking about.  these aren't it.  the D1 dockers do fit pretty bad.

the club room chinos fit pretty goddamn well.  I've only seen them in a tan color. 100% cotton, but feels like the material that military surplus clothing is made off(not a bad thing).  I've never tried on a pair of pants that taper down so well for me.  Club room actually has a bunch of nice slim fit flannels, oxfords, and chambray shirts as well.

300lbs and what height tho?

and to those who think dressing better is uncomfortable:

Unless your body is totally disproportionate or your too huge for your height (think being a 200lbs, 5'4 guy), you can find something decent and the outcome won't look sloppy at all.

my suggestion is that you buy the correct size of clothing first. I think most people who are transitioning from dressing too casual to dressing "better" are people who usually buy the correct size of clothing. Next thing you need to do is to avoid trends because you don't want to wear what 2009 was wearing.

beyond that, this thread has given a lot of people ideas and you just gotta pick whatever you think looks good on you and just do it correctly.

Wear whatever you like, provided it doesn't conflict too much with the teal. It always bothers me when couples try too hard to match.

Been lurking this thread and decided to unearth this screen name for help. Can anybody direct me to some sites/brand that provide a casual look for Big & Tall shoppers?
I do pretty well with Gap and Old Navy. but my entire closet is Gap/Old Navy, and I'd like to expand.

Dockers d1 are the best fitting pants I've found in the stores around here. They're like a slim straight like 514s. The quality is trash though and feel paper thin good enough for a cheap pant. Try j crew urban slim rarely stock them in the store here whenever they do I grab one..... I just need to move, we don't have jack ****

Do the classic cool guy Vegas outfit.



Black suit and white shirt either without a tie or black tie. And like my man said up there, even for a formal it can be corny when couples match.

I agree

I think I'd hate wearing suits all the time though.

For some reason I'm not crazy about the fit of the jacket here. Seems a tad bit short and maybe a bit tight. Might need to see a pic where you're standing still and not walking to judge accurately.
BTW, anyone know what CB is wearing here, and where to cop? Looks like all seude Chucks, but can't really tell.

DO NOT WEAR TEAL. This ain't prom in Memphis. (Google pics for reference)

I would do a navy or charcoal gray suit.

I think Chris is rockin the Skate Converse's 

 

[grizzlyboy]

Does anyone else take their denim to get tailored? Just took two pair and I am kind of excited to see how they turn out.

 

[MileHighRoots]

I don't want anything that has cheap quality and make (I..E. Old Navy, Gap, etc etc).

I was looking at these pea coats, but none of them had everything that I wanted. I basically want a navy blue classic pea coat, with side pockets and has a nice tapered fit. I don't the buttons to rise too high. 3 buttons on each side would be amazing. Polo Ralph Lauren made a REALLY nice one 2-3 year ago, but the ones they make now aren't the same.

I basically want something with side pockets, but also breast pockets outside as well. One thing I'm very specific of is the the military style shoulder straps and also a hidden collar strap to use to cover your face. The older Polo Ralph Lauren Pea coat had all this.

BTW...This is what I meant when i said I wanted a military style shoulder strap.

This is what I was looking at so far...

1. J. Crew- $225

2. Tommy Hilfiger- $139

3. Polo Ralph Lauren- $425

Anyone know where I can get this style of vest for a decent price?
