i am very interested in this look, but is it suitable for non business occasions? like going to the pub,movies,malls etc

i see retired old timers wears like this all the time and they can work it.. however when a younger man wears like this it gives the impression he is working or just came back from work .. any thoughts ?

also what is the fit on shirt? is it skinny fit or athletic fit?

I don't get the question here, what exactly is 'this look'? It's basically just a white shirt with dark trousers and a Hermes belt. It's pretty much one of the most common looks out there, save for the Hermes belt, which is.... *sigh*.

It took me awhile to even notice that guy standing in the middle.
But to answer your question, he doesnt look anything great . I see heaps of guys around my work dressed like this. Collars are in pathetic shape and he looks frumpy overall.

The company he is with however.....

Having the surrounded-by-5-air-stewardesses look is appropriate for all occasions.

+1. I wouldn't recommend the look if you don't have the stewardesses to go with it.

I would strongly recommend ditching the white shirt for something patterned, and preferably with button down collar.

It might be different in Malaysia, but business in Europe or US usually involves suit and tie. That guy in the pic is neither business, business casual, or casual. Maybe his mom picked his outfit and thought he looked dashing in it.

The ladies are very nice though, hotel room attire if it was me would be nothing :)

2nd girl from our right is a generous soul, holding the screen on her phone at an angle sufficient for us to check out the legs of the other girls. That generosity of spirit surely puts her ahead of the competition...

Pictures like this is easily done for any First Class international traveller, regardless of the attire you are in.

Astute assessment my friend.

Not everybody looks good in bright red. But if you have a white beard then go for it.

This look certainly needs something..like a fine suit.
