lol aderoll

True, style is hugely subjective and styles can be good or bad in and of themselves rather than in a comparative sense. One of the things that I think really helps when discussing a fit is to make observations about why a fit is good or bad. I know that happens occassionally, but unfortunately it seems to happen more when someone dislikes a fit rather than when they like it.

Unfortunately, without some guidelines, boundaries or rules of thumb to use in a comparison, it is tough to make direct comparisons. I actually did not mean to make as direct of a comparison as it was percieved rather to point out how two vastly different styles both got a lot of approvals. Anyway...keep calm and carry on...

dont' worry about the shoes, they're passable. Pull cardi sleeves down, consider uniqlo's slim fits if that isn't already, and look around for nicer shoes but don't burn until you find them.

Hot Dog that looks 800x better, you hardly look like the same human unit that was posting as Hot Dog 24 hrs ago.

almost makes me think we should have a "hey idiot here is how to take a decent fit pic" thread. Would subscribe.

Someone with decent photography skills should do this, a lot of really good fits appear mediocre due to crappy photography and a lot of great fits look phenomenal due to good photography.

what should I do with the left sleeve since I can't pull it down because of the watch?
