    Red carpet Event fashion help

    Hi, I'm going to a red carpet Event that is LA stylish (meaning, no suit necessary). I want to wear a royal blue coat and pink dress shirt. But I'm a little unsure on pant color. I have four choices: Forest green White Red Do any of these work for a fashionable event, but not too flashy...

    Tailored shirts

     I washed three shirts in the washer and tumble dried them. Two shrunk, one did not. I also washed one in the washer, but air dried it. That shrunk by half an inch. Guy told me that putting it in the washing machine can affect the cotton fibers because of the tumbler's friction with the...

    Tailored shirts

    Agree, it's not the end of the world. I went back to the shirt maker today and he was appalled that I washed these shirts on my own and basically said it was my fault they shrunk. He said I should only have them laundered by a professional, as they have methods to ensure the shirts would not...

    Tailored shirts

     The sleeves didn't ride up before they shrunk. And it showed the right amount of shirt. Not sure you're correct.

    Tailored shirts

    Should I go to another tailor or just ask my shirt maker to fix?

    Tailored shirts

     They told me there would be shrinkage at the sleeves because of the fused material there. However, I was very clear that I was not happy with the shirts I purchased last year, which also had sleeves that shrunk and were no longer to my satisfaction. The sales clerk told me I was...

    Tailored shirts

    I had some shirts custom made and am now in a dilemma. I had my sport coats tailored to show 1/4 inch of sleeve, but I failed to wash and dry the shirts before doing so. The sleeves shrunk by .7 inches, and now no longer show through my sport coats. I am not sure if the shirt sleeves are now too...

    Suit divot

    Exactly. I never got feedback on the 2nd jacket I posted. Is it ok?

    Suit divot

    Theory is a pretty expensive brand. I'd assume they make the button stance in that position for a reason. What is unflattering about it? And if it's unflattering, should nobody ever buy this brand? Is the natural waist definitely right at the belly button?

    Suit divot

    I have to say, I'm still a little confused about the button position. I'm looking at a brand new Theory suit, and all of them have a button that would fall well above the naval. Here's an example on a mannequin...

    Suit divot

     Isn't buttoning the bottom a fashion faux pas?

    Suit divot

    Is there absolutely anything I can do to the jacket to make it better, or am I SOL? I'm surprised I got so many compliments given your analysis. And for comparison, would you mind weighing in on the second jacket I posted?

    Suit divot

     When you say the jacket is too small, is that in regards to the chest being too small for my measurements (the jacket measures 37“ around and my chest is 39)? Would have all of the other issues you mentioned been resolved had I found a jacket that was 40" around? Also, you commented on the...

    Suit divot

     Thank you for your feedback. Bummer that I made such a mistake when I had two people helping me who pride themselves on fashion. Such is life, I suppose. Based on your comments from the last post, I figured I'd put up more of a full body picture so you can gauge the suit fit in its...

    Suit divot

    What in the picture makes you think it doesn't fit? Look at the straight on shot? Does it look wrong?

    Suit divot

    I bought a nice Theory suit a couple years ago because of a friend's recommendation. He is quite the fashionista, and he picked out to suit and told the tailor what needed to be done. I regularly get complimented on the suit, but I have a couple questions. 1) The suit is a 36s, but I have a...

    blue pinstriped shirt w/blue hued checked jacket

    Does this combination work better with the jacket? I also changed the pants to Navy blue. Can I wear Navy blue pants with this blazer, or is it too similar since the blazer is blueish-gray?

    blue pinstriped shirt w/blue hued checked jacket

    Hi, I'm wondering if it's okay to wear a blue pinstriped shirt with a blue hued (w/yellow highlights) jacket. One of my co-workers said it was mismatched, but I thought it was ok to do mix checks with stripes. See attached photo.
