God help me, I fell in love with this (McQueen). Do note, this is a small, and I wear a large. This was the only one they had in the store, and I wanted to get an idea of what it looked like in real life before (potentially) ordering it online in my size.

I like this. I have what is basically the cardigan version and prefer it over the vneck you posted but the vneck is nice. that yoox photo is awful, typical. EDIT: I can see from your comments that you don't plan to get it. That is the right thing to do if you are not certain. Here is my cardigan in the similar style, which I suspect will not be popular here based on reactions to your sweater.

Not great for a McQueen, but hard to say since you don't have it buttoned and the angle does nothing.

DLs cardigan version is better.

Shoes are terrible do not cop laceless lace-ups ever, general rule.

Pass on mcqueen, no ribbed cuffs are instant deal breaker.

I hear you. But, even if I do put laces on it? Because it has lace holes and looks exactly like the model with laces. Not that I'm still gonna buy those shoes, just curious.

Will put laces on them. And how do these fit?

I like them but I wouldn't put laces in, the laceholes look good and congruent with the gunboat style of the shoe, would make for a great casual shoe where adding laces would make it look like just another pair of dress shoes.
