Black cotton H&M blazer with light blue button up, jeans and black shoes. This work? The blazer is off the rack and hasnt been adjused, although it fits pretty well. Might take the sleeves up a bit if anything.

Sleeves are probably around 1.5-2 inches too long. Maybe even more. Those are the most peculiar buttons I have seen on a blazer, but HM does weird (and poor quality) stuff... It's too grainy to make out much more and a side and back view would be nice to see how the shoulders fit. I once saw a HM blazer without kissing buttons. Are those black square toes? And peg the jeans up an inch and a half or two.

They arent square toes. The blazer buttons look like regular black buttons to me :shrug: but I dont know, thats why I asked.

For 99% of the population, you look great. If you roll with SF, you look terrible.

I happen to think your look is passable, but tuck in your shirt.

You think I can get away with this sleeve lenth for now? Im going to have it adjusted next week but I wanted to wear it tonight.

I was also debating between this and a white shirt instead of blue.

I would wear this shirt, not white.

And do the jeans look dirty or is it my monitor?

Thanks. Its a tough crowd over here. IRL I feel like I can dress, then I come on here and feel like a total dickbag.

Tuck in your shirt. You would still look terrible, but slightly less so.

The shirt is rounded, and thus is not meant to be worn untucked.

Shirts which are meant to be worn untucked (Which many of the affected dandies here wouldn't even admit existed) have squared off tails and fronts.
