man, i can never wear my sr60s outside of my house. they leak noise like crazy! everyone hears your music and they get pissed.

 

[syzygy]

Haha, duly noted. Thanks for the compliments, all.

Head-to-toe, inside-out
Snap-on Hat
SR-60s
shirt from woot (not visible)
Crappy, stretched out Perry Ellis zip up that I only wear when layering (not visible)
Shades of Greige M65 from Context
Skulls
Converse

Edit:
Hell yes, they do. But I never listen to my music loudly and I'm usually listening to it on the subway, so the track noise drowns it out anyway. I'm only wearing them because my friend took my audio technicas

 

[heyheyhey]

Headed out tonight. Lucky I have no lectures tomorrow morning. Sorry for awkward pose.

Topman slim blazer; River Island light blue shirt; Maroon skinny tie; Topman raws; Chucks. Does this hem sit better than my previous post? (I'm hoovering as we speak btw, keep the chat to my clothes if you please)

Jacket, shirt, tie, jeans and chucks... Not buying the asymmetry on that one. Losing the tie would be a start. Either that, or subbing in some other footwear.

+1, I tried wearing Grados on the metro, and I felt like an asshhole. Back to $15 earbuds for the commute.

Heyheyhey- Doesn't work again. Not as an outfit and the hem/shoe interaction still isn't good. Either wear proper shoes, or lose the tie and unbutton the jacket. You're in college are you? Hell, i look a little different than typical house party/bar crowd, but at least i still look youthful and like i'm having fun in my clothes. rye's comments-

So trying to look too smart is bringing it down?

Why does praise have to be constructive?

Just pointing out that there's little difference between him and some other posters, except that others have a few thousand posts. You can't draw the line on him because he isn't some studmuffin or cute (or not) girl.

Here's some constructive criticism: lose the tie, or at least change the color/cut. For some reason, every Caucasian who wears a red tie ends up looking like a news anchor or GOP commentator. I also find myself wondering what your measurements are. Are you in shape or out of shape? Your fit would look tons better if you had a drop from your shoulders to your waist with some waist suppression, but yours blazers always seem to fit you like an "A" instead of a "V", which isn't the most flattering look...

Inside

and out

Banana Tee
AA Hoodie
UO BDG Slim Chinos
Beat-up Converse Weapons
North Face Shell Jacket

I bought the North Face jacket before I had a real understanding of any sort of semblance of "fit", so I hate how roomy it is--alas, it's super cold here (low teens).

You look uncomfortable in your clothes, as if you are aware it doesn't work but you're not sure why.

First, forget the black blazer/jeans/shirt and tie/chucks combination. It doesn't work. I know because my wife engineered a family photo a few years ago with me and the boys dressed that way and I have to see it on my wall. Although we pulled it off better than you do

.

Lose the shoes and tie and get a more interesting shirt and tie maybe. But I wouldn't pair jeans with a tie and jacket unless you're cooler than almost anyone else you know.

And FFS don't hike up your jeans so high, man that looks uncomfortable on your package. You appear to have wide hips and chunky thighs (I do too) and that's not helping you out any.

Agreed. Sex it up a bit. If I was your age I'd be dressing like a fkn pimp instead of an old fart like I do now.

To me, it appears you are caught in the middle of trying to decide whether you want a tailored clothing look i.e. the Men's Clothing forum, or a youthful streetwear and denim look like this forum.

Trying to mix the two is not really a good idea, and only a handful of people can pull it off.

Do one of two things. 1. Lose the tie, and get some really nice dress shoes to go with that look. 2. Lose the tie and jacket and untuck the shirt (provided it has a shorter hem) and keep the chucks. Both looks would look much better then the one you have right now.

My vote is try to find what identity you want and then go from there, you are leaning on the fence right now though and to echo the rest of the forum members you do look quite uncomfortable.
