Agree that blue shoes are too much, but upper half is fine methinks, if a little over the top. Dark red seems a difficult color for pants. It brings me back to middle school, and bright red Abercrombie cargo pants. KS, stellar look - best one yet (subjective, of course) - even if it is a tad out of place. But that just makes it cuter.

lol no i use the front brake for single speed, otherwise i'd have nothing! Thanks for the compliments, and constructive criticism everyone. I will try the gray with it to make it flow a little, and make easier on the eyes.

bucks + skids = dirty bucks.

Thrift Pirate - I think those white chucks with the red and blue stripe would have been perfect there, subtle matching. Even a brown boat shoe with white sole would have worked too. With those blue shoes, I'd say stick with a white shirt and the red pants. I<3Bacon - nice, def worth the requote.

I'm going to assume you were serious... something like a loose white linen shirt would really work with that. even a hat? actually, given what you look like, some pics of Hugh Jackman might give you some ideas...

no i was serious! I am looking for some new clothes, all i have are winter fall stuff. haha i'm not THAT much of a smartass!

I fully intend on wearing a suit to my thesis defense next year. The mentality that you shouldn't dress well because other people dress badly is why everyone dresses badly these days. They have no incentive to dress better, they have no fashionable role models. It is up to people like us, the young and fashionable, to BREAK this horrible trend. When we enter the real world, dressed impeccably, attention may be drawn to us. But through skill and intelligence, success will follow, and suddenly those around you will be thinking to themselves... Do you think the suit could have helped? Don't be afraid to set yourself apart... I honestly believe we're at the right time for this "revolution" because even though we hate hipsters, they are also the kind of people who aren't going to be afraid to dress well in the business world and they know how to do it better than your average slob. @nicelynice: that is just too much, and not in a good way.

I have redic cashmere and lambswool knits, an awesome MMM tweed knit and my GF loves my tiger fleece the most

+1, I enjoy wearing suits and I don't get the stigma against it
