Looking for advice on changing wardrobe and style

[Vali]

Hello, this is my first thread so I'll start with a very brief introduction. I'm 29 yo and work in organizing music festivals, as you can imagine a very casual environment. I recently decided to change my entire wardrobe so I started researching to find out what I like. Tom Ford's aesthetic with the strong shoulders, peak lapels, slim waist and longer jacket is what I like most. Getting an entire wardrobe from Tom Ford would probably cost 150k, so I'll buy a few staple pieces such as a grey suit, navy blazer etc from there and for the rest I'll work with a local tailor who has acces to grat fabrics.

What I want to ask you all, won't this all look dated in 2-3 years? I will be spending a considerable sum on this makeover and I am worried that in a couple of years I won't be able to wear theese pieces any more.

To try to visualize what I am going for I will attach a few pictures of tis guy I follow on Instagram:










Any advice is well appreciated, please excuse me if my english is not the best

Why have you decided to wear suits etc in what by your own admission is a very casual environment? What have you been wearing up until now and why are you unsatisfied with it?

 

[Vali]

I have decided to wear mostly sportcoats with trousers, I don't want to be extremely formal. Up until now I have been wearing mostly quite tacky designer stuff combined with cheaper items from Zara or Massimo Dutti. A couple examples:

Between the attachments (which most people don't want to open) and the lack of an explanation for the feedback now wanted, what is there to say?

it's all a bit tacknacci to borrow a phrase used by others on here.

Those instagrm pics you posted, by and large they are vain guys desperate for a "like" and so wear provocative stuff to get any kind of reaction. Gullible people then click "like" because they assume unusual and provocative equals well dressed.

It's become an arms race - who can unstuck their shirt collar the most, their monks traps undone, their buttons not done right, wear the most dangly things with no purpose....

Tom ford does indeed make some nice clothes - the problem seems to be that most people are now using his stuff almost as a 'logo' in the same way they would do with the gucci or LV monogramme (or Hermes belt) they buy it to sol people know what it is.

Are you doing the same?

@Vali, most people (myself included) aren't going to click on random files posted on the internet. Either embed the images or IMG tag 'em so we can see what you're even talking about.

Thanks for the feedback. No, I'm not trying to use the Tom Ford style as a logo because I work in a very informal environment where most people I deal with every day don't have a clue who he is or how much this stuff costs. Beeing tall and quite athletic I found out that his suit cuts favour my phisique a lot. Since I've posted the first time I got a TF jacket and besides the ton of compliments I got every time I wore it I absolutely love how it looks on me. So I pretty much want all my stuff to look and feel like that

Thanks, I'll try to edit it now

I couldn't edit the original post so I reposted the photos

I can smell the heavy cologne through my monitor.

That looks like financier wear. It probably will make a bad impression on some others in the music industry. Minus the pocket squares and gaudy watches, things would be better. Also, the tie with large dots doesn't work with the other clothes.

"financier"? More like a juice loan broker. One would hardly see anyone from Lazard, or Goldman Sachs in get-ups like that.

Individual pieces looks good. but put together, too GQ for my taste with so many accessories..looks like he is wearing jeggings.
The AP watches looks baller though...
