Yikes, where to begin?

Clothes several sizes too large. You mentioned your shirt, the design is nice but it's big, you shudda asked for the receipt so you could get a new size.

Shoes seem too large.

Tie knots are overly large, honestly I wouldn't be seen dead with what you're wearing.

You have guts though.

I am generally tolerant of noobs on forums since every one has to start somewhere. Regardless of the improved search function, some questions do lead to good responses.

My question to 7M33R is what makes your opinion so valuble and insightful that justifies bringing this thread to our attention, yet again? The original poster has openly said that he doesn't give a damn about what people think, he was just showing that this is his style and he feels confident and comfortable in it.

Please go play in traffic and stop bothering us.

I took a few pictures in the hotel this weekend with my phone.

Note the tie is normal sized.

I think the smaller tie knot improves your look. Perhaps a pocket square in a different pattern from the tie would look a bit better.

I cant help it, I love the big tie.

Whether or not I do a matching pocket square depends on how busy the rest of the outfit is. If I am doing a lot of conflicting patterns I wont add another.

Not only does he wear the same stuff as me, he also stands EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.

Style is somewhat subjective--but, objectively, need some serious tailoring!

Are you referring to the first page or the recent updates?

Is there a difference?

I liked your twin in the photos -- he's less visible.

spiffy the knot in the last picture is MUCH better. Jacket doesn't seem as baggy either, although the sides could still come in to make it more tapered.

The tie looks much better. That said, I wouldn't pair a striped suit with a striped shirt, and a dark shirt at that. That (and the pattern of the tie) makes the outfit look too cluttered and busy.

If you must wear something dark, you should consider wearing something a bit contrasting that looks good.

Secondly, your outfits are still poorly tailored. The jacket seems a bit too long and rather boxy. The sleeves are too long, and your shirt cuffs are not showing from the suit -- ideally, about half an inch of your shirt cuffs should be visible.

In my opinion -- the previous outfits were obviously worn that way intentionally, to be hip or whatever. The new one looks like trying but not quite getting there. If I were in your square-toed shoes I'd keep up what I know, working on the other stuff privately at home and posting pics until I'm sure I had it down. Only then would I go out in public in it.
