I don't mind the pants, but not feelin' the shoes. Need something stronger, like Raf derbies.

for sure. Threw those pants on just to see what it would look like, didn't want to change into denim again and take more.

Raf looks great, yes it should be pulled down more so it doesnt look tucked in. I want that sweater

As a gentleman with a disproportionately big backside, knits without hems are much appreciated. They ride up too much otherwise.

Slowing coming to the conclusion that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. Therefore, this post will have several fits all featuring the same w+h OCBD and Buttero boots. Looking for feedback to see what (if anything is working) and what parts of the silhouette need work.
1. APC NS w/o tuck

2. APC NS w/ tuck (yes, ******** up and wore a black belt with brown boots, my bad)

2a. APC NS w/ tuck and blazer.

3. Shades of Grey tweed trouser w/o tuck

5. BB twill Milano fit trousers

6. Filson whipcord pant

Just for comic relief, this photo showcased "zombie eyes" better than any of the others.

You have your pants pulled up too high in all these photos, but honestly the biggest offender is the camera angle. The waist-high-looking-up view is probably adding about 20 pounds and throwing everything off, so it's hard to say for sure. I think a belt + pulling pants down about an inch and tucking any of those shirts in would be fine. Lose the undershirt though.

Bows that top half is my favorite thing I've seen in waywt. I'm so pissed the corner sale sold out of that sweater before I heard about it

I think reedo looks fine with tapered jeans. His search for ultra slim blazers is a little much however.

1)  Boots are awesome, nice pick up
2)  I think the shirt needs work.  Honestly, it looks pretty thin and formless for an oxford shirt.  I think Gitman would be perfect for you since it's thicker with a nice but not too slim shape, but if that's isn't an option get the body tailored so there isn't so much free fabric. 
3)  Wear your pants lower.  The proportions are off right now.  

Overall, I like the white/grey/brown look the best!  


higher rise jeans maybe or sag, and less of a sharp taper. I agree with blacktoothedgrin about the shirt


I think the white shirt is the biggest offender in all of the above fits.... In the two fits where you have your shirt tucked in, it looks like your pants are pulled too high up. Proportions seem off somehow.... With all that said, combination strictly of boots and each of those pants looks good.


Thx for the feedback. I tried to put a side by side comparison where the denim is worn lower for comparison. I would never be able to keep a shirt tucked in if I wore my pants this low, so I'd have to stick with the untuck.

Nice MMMs. :laugh: What are they actually?
no alleviation needed. to death with stacks; they're just not for me. ***** with the silhouette. And my style verges more towards tailored, so stacks dont jive.
I'm 6'2ish and more than 50% of me is legs, so I'm not sure if hobbit legs is an accurate assessment. like I said, I've started to go for pants with a higher rise in order to balance out my top and bottom. but different strokes for different blokes!

Wait...wouldn't a higher rise throw your proportions further out of whack, adding length to your lower half and visually shortening your torso? I usually wear mid-rise, tops, and I wear my shirts untucked so I don't appear to have emu dimensions. I am confuse.
I think reedo looks fine with tapered jeans. His search for ultra slim blazers is a little much however.

I usually think the balance in reedo's fits looks a little off-kilter (especially the obnoxiously tilted shot-from-above ones), but I think the overall silhouette works here. A Stark has a little more heft to it than your average merino pullover, but it's easy to wear as part of a slim fit, too.
