Most stuff is from H&M. If you pick carefully, you don't have to look like you are wearing a 12 year old boy's clothing.

Both suits, navy chinos, and the light jacket (which is actually grey) are from H&M.

Green knit tie was thrifted, blue knit is from Macy's, and grey knit was on sale at Urban Outfitters ($5).

Pocket squares and boat shoes are from Target.

Sweater is French Connection.

Yellow shirt is Ralph Lauren, Green shirt was on sale at Urban outfitters, white shirt I don't remember.

Jeans are from Gap and boots are Stacy Adams Madisons.

HM?

You proved Style comes with any budget. I've only been to HM once but seeing your pics I am going to check it out.

Very cool if you shot them yourself.

I woke up one morning and shot these gazelles in my Sulka pajamas, how they got onto them I'll never know.

I eagerly await the inevitable all-pocket-squares-and-only-pocket-squares outfit. A patchwork approach could work, but so could a single square strategically draped--it could be a new, non-discounted Charvet and you'd still be playing by the rules!

H&M is by far the best cheap clothing I buy. If you're a smaller/slimmer person it's a 100x better fit than BR or jcrew and 1/2 or even 1/3 the price.

This "Belloq from Raiders" getup was bought at H&M for a trip to turkey/egypt, almost more for fun than actual fashion, but the suit was $100, shirt $40, hat $8, shoes are brown suede clarks that I got at Nordstrom rack for like $50. Was a fun night in cairo when these were taken.

Dude. Outstanding.

Unfortunately H&M sells mostly for super thin/skinny people. Even if you're athletic, its tough.

Didn't think a tread could go down hill so fast, did ya.

This does not look good IMO, looks like your trying to hard.

Seriously! Where do you find these items! I am new to dressing nice (post college) and could use some hints!
