Hey guys, I'm having a problem buying new shoes, I dont know which shoes (particularly color) i should get that would match these 3 pants including denim jeans.
                  (burgundy) lighting wasn't very helpful here

the 3 shoes i had in mind are... (I was also thinking about a gray but I'm not sure about it. If there is another shoe you guys recommend I would be grateful. Thank you.

$90  $100   $120


The tan leather desert boots are the easiest to pair and most versatile. Also somewhat boring, but if you have the budget for one pair of shoes those arent bad. Suede desert boots are slightly more interesting and will look excellent with denim but maybe too high contrast with some other pants. The born boots or whatever should be off the table. As for gray it can be surprisingly tough to wear.

Fits nicely and 210€ doesn't seem like a lot for a wool suit. The jacket also should work nicely separately.

Also contemplating the black sidezips.

I would go for the left one that costs $90. The color matches best with all pants including jeans!

You're supposed to take the stitching off gaizzz :teach:
Was going to recommend that camel blazer to synth; would look dope with faded blue jeans and rose side zips :slayer:

There's white contrast stitching on that one too.

Oh, thought the camel one didn't have that

You've got typical nordic boy complexion, right? That is, bright blond hair and pale skin. I've been there too.

Wearing dominant pieces (jacket or whole suit) in tan usually only looks good on guys with a darker complexion and hair. This is from personal experience.

This goes for you too, KoY.

You saying you don't like my trench?

Nah but I know, just like with clothes it's about having some contrast

EDIT: I don't really have bright blond hair though, more like a mix between blond and brown (called sandré in swedish)

Yes! Turtle necks and blazers. Nobd swag :slayer:

Koy, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to come off. It's not a margiela detail, it's just there to keep the vent and other things in place.

Ceoceo, I know I can't reach Scott either :(
Go for the leather though :)

is that drkshdw or lillies ? either way doesn't matter, i like it better but if it's the jersey fabric get ready to throw it out soon enough but it'll be very comfy while it lasts !

i once got a pair of bbs shorts that were very short and rather sheer :uhoh:
they were basically the damir double layer jet has but just executed poorly

NB: i don't wear shorts so my opinion is skewed
