That's definitely part of it. They're hemmed so short it's rough to distinguish between a higher rise and Urkel.

I realize I'm on the wrong side of history but I think a thin guy is better off with a lower rise unless he's wearing a vest.

Well, seriously, I don't think he's actually wearing them that high. I think the low button stance is contributing to the Urkel effect, but the pants seem to be at his waist, not above his ribcage.

And I believe thin people actually look better than phat dudes in a high rise. A bigger guy with pants hiked up high will look even wider because of the horizontal to vertical dimension ratio of his apparent upper body.. a thin man will look more proportioned. Unless he's got really long legs.

Very, very nice. I think it's much harder to put together a nice look which isnt a suit and tie. Even a rank amateur like me can put on a nice suit and tie and look decent, but this is much more difficult.

Nicely done.

My pleasure. I took a flyer on it because I realized that few of my ties have gold or green in them, and this would complement my blues, burgundies, and browns nicely.
