Could a suit be more wrong than this one?

He's shot quite a bit of Italian fashion that looked pretty good (remember, he has to work with what's out on the streets). And the women are often very attractive.

I love that big full shirt back to the skinny jeans

And I'm expecting a delivery of this from WW Chan soon. Guess I'm going to look weird!

To answer the OP: that is far, far from the worst looking suit ever. Yes, it has problems, but come on. I agree with those (even LK) who say that the shirt collar is by far the worst thing about that ensemble.

Seriously, there are a lot of bad shots (believe me), but there are some very good ones too. And even considering the bad ones, the site is interesting enough to look at occasionally.

At least he's puting it out there.. I think the fit is fantastic, sure his choice of colour/fabric isn't everyone's cup of tea but he's rocking it!

I suspect the collar is a wide "button-down" with those hidden buttons to secure that spread look.

you need to have balls for them to hurt.


i don't know whats worse, the sausage like suit or the gushing comments. Does anyone really want to see men's ankles when they are wearing a suit????

Enjoy it in good health, just not my cup of tea.

I think that the jacket collar is worse than the shirt. If the shirt collar were normal, could you imagine what the jacket collar would look like?

I rarely see pants that short in real life, but I frequently see people wear jackets and pants that are too small for them, just like the example in the pic.

The slim tapered cut pants really don`t work with guys with meaty legs. Also, when the jacket is too small, it really looks uncomfortable even if there isn`t much structure.

interesting. some of your likes are in my dislikes, and vice versa. here's how i would characterize it.

Like:
-trouser slimness
-overall fit of jacket
-color of glenplaid
-mix of brown/blue
-linen fabric

No Opinion:
-shoes
-uber wide peak lapel
-fat trouser cuffs

Dislike:
-lack of socks
-shirt collar
-trouser length

Overall, I think most of it is fine. If it were me, I would definitely wear a different shirt and socks, and maybe less tapered pants - but then, I have large thighs, so that's more of a body concession than a stylistic preference. That's probably why I don't like short pants, as well.

I wouldn`t say it`s amazing, but I like the patterned linen too. I think it`s a stylish choice.

i agree with this too is is just poorly tailored and fitting! the color and patten combo works well IMO

This whole "slim" fad is going to go out faster than low gorges and and 4x1 suits.
