This thread is for advice seekers who want quick, simple, advice on whether or not they should wear a particular outfit. You will find critiques, suggestions, and advice all geared toward informing you about your clothing choices BEFORE you step outside the door.
Do you have a cocktail party you're about to attend and aren't sure if the shirt you've chosen goes well with your jacket? Are you heading to a job interview and don't know if you are wearing an appropriate tie? Do you have a big date coming up and want to know if you're unknowingly dressed like a douche? Consider this the testing ground! Why not utilize the relative anonymity of the internet to your advantage by getting judged by strangers before you risk getting judged by your friends and peers?
Here's how it works: Lay out your clothes on the bed, or some other flat surface, and take a picture. Post the picture here and give us some idea of the context. In other words, where are you going? What are you doing? Who are you going to be around? Then, the fashion brains floating around Style Forum will advise you on whether your choice is a good one or, if not, what easy things you can do to improve the look.
Here is what I mean by laying your clothes out and taking a picture of them:

Your pictures don't have to be this professional looking but do try to take your pictures in good light so that we can see some akin to the true color and texture of the items you are wearing.
Simple enough?
I hereby call on the expertise of @GBR @Gus @Veremund @Thin White Duke @Andy57 @An Acute Style @Murlsquirl @Burzan @Gerry Nelson @in stitches @emptym @mossrockss @Claghorn @PCK1 @venividivicibj @Coxsackie @sugarbutch and probably a whole slew of others who don't come to mind at the moment.
