Hey StyleForum! how can I improve this fit? Should I button the shirt?

The shirt is Massimo Alba in 100% linen
T-shirt (u-neck) is Muji (cotton I think)
Jeans are Levi's (Needle cut)
Boots are Guidi in reverse horse, gray

Thanks! :lookaround:

very cool challenge, would love to see an SW&D version.


So would I, but without the "must wear a jacket with lapels" part, which is just restrictive.

gettoasty- Looks good. Jeans are maybe slightly loose in the thigh, but not too bad. Curved hem tee would prob look better, or button a few of the shirt buttons.

@Caveat I can perhaps size down one but they are pretty comfortable as is. I havent washed these yet so will just shrink dry. Curved him tee are hard to find IMO and I'd like to buy in bulk...I've tried the open shirt look a few times now and I think it looks nicer with another jacket layered on top. If I wear it alone with a tee underneath I'll just button up. Thanks for your suggestions!

@gettoasty Those boots are amazing, but with that fit I think something lighter – tan, maybe – would work better. Something that contrasts more if you desaturate the photo. Alternatively, go with a darker shirt for the outer layer, i.e. more monochromatic.

thanks for the suggestion! i was aiming for more city than country if that makes any sense. good eye regarding the filter i.e. desaturate the photo. really helps visualize better how the colors look unbalanced when considering head-to-toe.

i don't have a dark shirt but will try a dark gray layered tank top instead next time.

toasty, you need to go waaay deeper on that tee. Think rick`s v-necks, but more.
