I agree with this, I have a pair of all black Lanvins that I really want to pull off but have no idea how!

...so if anyone has any ideas, please chime in or PM me. Greatly appreciated.

I agree with all except the tux jacket.

Lanvin trainers were worn by sleek nighlife hype douches. I just described how I wore that stuff in 2007 or whatever. replace by a sleek jacket that isn't a tux and doesn't scream orphan/office and you,re done. Basically do Mr Porter but unlike Mr Porter manage to do it properly and you'll be fine.

Thanks Sym, i double checked and it's a different coat. I guess that's why that particular one dropped so low in price.

Must have been. It's definitely a nice coat, but its use in California seems limited. If you travel a lot to colder climates, or intend to, I would keep it.

I'll embrace the douche.
