Hi @MickMack , welcome!

Generally, Hogan sneakers are viewed with distaste on this particular forum. I'd suggest you take a look through the following threads to get some more ideas:

http://www.styleforum.net/t/182388/the-definitive-sf-approved-non-baller-sneaker-thread/0_100


If you're looking for a running-style shoe in particular, I would check both Nike and New Balance (the shoe you've linked is a copy of a New Balance model) for a similar option.

Hello,


Years ago, when I was an exchange student in Europe, my zipper fly jeans from America started breaking down and I slowly started buying new jeans. It seemed like it was impossible to find jeans with a zipper fly, so I resorted to button fly, and by the end of the year I had gotten rid of all of my old jeans and only owned button fly jeans.

I've grown to love the button fly (mostly because I can put my hands in my pickets and not have my fly magically unzip itself...), and I refuse to wear zipper fly jeans nowadays. Unfortunately, I can hardly find these types of jeans here in the US, with the exception of Levi 501's, "Premium" American Eagle jeans (which all sit low on the waist, not a fan), and H&M jeans (decent for the price, but don't last very long and lack quality).

Can anyone refer to me to some decent button fly jeans? Ideally around a $60 price point?

My ideal pair of jeans is as follows:

Slim (Not skinny)
Slightly stretchy
Sits high or normal on the waist
Multiple shades and colors to choose from

I've been struggling with this for a long time, and any help recommendations I can get on this matter would be much appreciated.


Thank you!

Friends, there is a space in my closet where a handsome suede sport jacket should be hanging. I have spent some time on line and have visited the sites of all the usual suspects, largely without success. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum, D. You're talking about a sportcoat (blazer), right? Just want to make sure we are on the same page.

Welcome to the forum, RWS. That is a pretty tough price point, but if you are willing to spend somewhere around $100, there are some options. If you are up for a crowdsourced option, check out Gustin, one of our Affiliate Vendors https://www.weargustin.com/store

They have a few different fits and I think the straight fit might have the rise you are looking for.

You can also search our SF Marketplace. There is usually plenty of denim floating around in there at some great prices. That's all I got....hopefully someone else will chime in. Best of luck.

They are pretty generic runners. They'd look fine with jeans or slim joggers, or even wide legged joggers or cargos. Not much more to say other than that though, imo.

thank you for your reply. yes i know they look a little bit like new balance. but the sole an the cut is different and the colors too. beside there are too many new balance outside. everybody has them. hogan is more unique. i ordered the shoes yesterday from florence. if i like them i will keep the shoes.

can you guys say something about the quality of hogan?

Dear styleforum sages,

Bonjour from Paris. I'm on the lookout here for a new jacket. I have a simple style, and I usually stay with a black T-shirt, black or dark-grey business trousers and boots (which happen to be Saint Laurent jodhpurs, with low heel, great shoes). Anyway, I am always in a jacket. A simple but stylish black jacket. And now I'm seeking a new one. Now note: I'm tall and quite skinny, so the new cuts work well on me (the overly classic cuts seem to always hang too much, I somehow just look like I'm drowning in them). I've tried on a gorgeous jacket at Saint Laurent, two buttoned, and classic, and also the Saint Laurent Smoking jacket, which needs no introduction… finally, I also tried over at Dior a beautiful jacket, modern, but nothing avant-garde or splashy, just a classic jacket with good, young spirit. So, questions: Should I just automatically assume that YSL/Dior are worth the price? Could one pull off wearing the YSL Smoking jacket as a casual jacket (that is, without a dandy overkill, yours truly isn’t into that)? And, quality wise I would assume there should be no concern(?). I'm looking for some impressions/experiences of past YSL/Dior wearing gentlemen out there, since I am a stranger to the virtues of their jackets.

Thank you,

D.
