Weekday, TM Lewin, Allen Edmonds

Jeans fit great - the sleeve rolling on your shirt looks really sloppy though and it lets you down. I'd try a tighter roll that lets the sleeve sit neatly at your elbow, could look better.

You might want to consider getting shoes that are less stuffy, something like desert boots (especially suede) can look smart, but less clunky and much more age appropriate.

I'm being nit-picky, but if you've come to a fashion forum you clearly care about the details.


EDIT: Looks good kindofyoung but judging from the photo you might want to try some different shoes if you've got any that would work? - the colour is kind of merging with the trousers.

i like white dress shirts but do plain white dress shirts like these ever look fine when you're not wearing coat, jacket or knit? or are they too formal

i guess they're more formal than a patterned or colored "sport shirt", but I like white dress shirts worn casually when it's too warm for more layers. adding a jacket or knit will always be a more finished look.

Spoiler: white shirts

This is really close to being very good, needs a better outerwear piece though. Maybe a bomber or harrington

Yep, a dark bomber aswell as a nice leather jacket, and then my outerwear closet is done

(right now I have: varsity, trenchcoat, camelcoat, canvas-jacket, winter-jacket, and a denim-jacket)

I'm pretty sure Drew is doing a last call for ToJ. Borrow money from your parents and get in on that

I've followed the toj-thread for the last 50-100 pages and haven't read anything about him quitting it

And while tempting, I'm already in debt to them from a camel-coat I bought last year, so I don't think I will buy a leather before I've gotten myself a job

Last call? TOJ went on a hiatus a few months ago so I think that's what you're thinking about.

The Detroit Institute of Art was surprisingly great.

toj is supernice, but everything else feels....bland
also, awkward pose

 

[Bam!ChairDance]

Biggen, those APCs are much too tight, which makes you look stilted and awkward when your ensemble wants to be cool + relaxed

I'll echo this and add that different collar styles can change the whole feel/look, IMO. I think a band collar is a bit less formal. To answer you question about my photos, I usually end up rolling my sleeves when I take the outerwear off I don't think you'll be seeing much of this snowman anymore, with me going back to school and all. I'm going to channel some Aldo Bakker swag and go more casual http://www.zuiderzeemuseum.nl/nl/142/persberichten/details/?id=145 Scroll Down. And yes, that's the grail worthy mmm cardigan
