It was cool to go thrift store slumming early 90s; this particular jacket was one of the few that I kept over the years. 501s are pretty classic, AFAIK, as are henleys. That said, the RWGTs are a recent acquisition. 15 years ago I wore NaNa 8-holes.

UrbanComposition; It looks very very good. But most importently you look very relaxed and natural in the clothing. It was quite clear which of the MC posting in the context that almost never wore or never made an effort in "casual" clothing.

And magician nailed it "rugged stare with a hint of wistfulness" i wish i could match it.

Hi styleforum! First post in WAYWT, but I've been lurking for a bit. Anyway, wearing this out for dinner, so... violent criticism welcomed

nb, I know shirt sleeves are too long, will get them tailored when I have time

You need to fix your picture links. Are you ready?? Ok, here we gooooo

We don't know your age or station, but I assume you are youngish or dressing to impress. ・Khaki is almost always an ugly color when worn like this. It looks like super conservative/dowdy Dockers. Really, just stay away from this color and look for something either in a darker or lighter hue, +/- a few shades from this color. If you must, wear them a bit slimmer and with a crease. Otherwise it looks like IT worker. Also, the hem is kind of weird? It seems really saggy at the base of the shoe, like excessively so. This could work for a very conservative dress pant, but with chinos it just looks, again, dowdy. ・The plaid worn with the above just accentuates the corny IT worker garb. Plaid is well-liked (wrongy so), but it could work if you were going for an untucked, casual look. For a dressier ensemble, as you seem to be going for, this kind of large-squared plaid looks very farmer-esque. It looks like it might actually be more colorful in person, hard to say. Also, is the penultimate button untucked? It's showing off your chest in a slightly unseemly way. If everything were a .5 size slimmer and sharper, you could probably get away with this showing of the chest, but right now it looks weird. ・Shoes look blobby. Further contributes to dumpy effect. ・You might want to explore a longer coat. It looks very young/juvenile with these chinos, and I'm beginning to suspect you are not teenage, nor is your intent to look that way. Peacoat + chinos is like the frat boy approach to dressing up, so a longer coat will look sleeker and not bisect your proportions in such a weird way. In sum, burn the chino pants. This ensemble might work with discrete tapering in the right places, but maybe not. Your posture looks like it's affecting things, or maybe your build. The effect is pear-shaped (judging by your username, this may be an admission of such?). Go more loose or more trim. Also, grow out your hair. (I give this advice to everyone). If you must wear this, wear it with jeans, or throw a blazer on top. Otherwise you will be damned to IT worker hell.

eh i think it looks okay but could benefit greatly by sizing down .5-1 on everything like you said. i like the jacket and i would actually wear the boots, although in a completely different context of course

 

[softy]

I don't think there is room to size down, though --- look at how his ass is outlined like a little bonbon.
Needs different cut of pants

A lot of the time SFers say "size down", when they really mean "lose weight".

 

[brad-t]

That shirt is too big though.

jwied, looks good. I actually wrote "nn" then scrolled back up to make sure it wasn't you.

 

[softy]

True.
Okay, El Gordo, your mission, should you choose to accept it...!

I empathize because it may be morphological. I am thin but have a low/protruding ass

 

[softy]

I kinda sorta want to shave jwied and nicelynice
