^^ +1. Jeans don't need to be skin-tight and turn your feet blue because the hem cuts the circulation off at the ankle. Jeans are just like trousers in terms of fit. Too baggy and they look awful, too tight and it'll be super uncomfortable. There is a happy medium. In terms of color/wash, my opinion is that dark denim (doesn't have to be raw) is much more versatile than light denim.

Very nice indeed. I think I would slightly lower button stance though.

Very nice. Especially the jacket. The photography doesn't really allow to comment on colour coordination, but the pants look like a strange hue of beige (?) in this shot. The other things are, I suppose a pale blue OCBD and a brown knit tie? The main colour of the square also seems to be brown. But I really think the best thing here is the jacket; the only way to tell that you're probably quite tall is the railing behind you. Else, everything looks in proportion. Only thing I would change would be the size of the knot. Looks too small to me.

I think you could still do a lot better with the jeans, all the rest of your outfits are superb so it's a shame to see your casual look be let down by bad jeans.

The color combination is smashing! I love the blue windowpane on the coat.

I'm so depressed!!! Woe is me!! Haha. Note that this outfit only works with the white leather jacket (unworn, in the background) cause the shoes don't work with the hoodie alone.

This is definitely a unique look. Never would have thought to build a look around a blue sports coat, black jeans, brown shoes & brown belt. I like the way you mixed things up...yet kept things all together. Good job.

That is a fantastically ballsy suit pattern.

And I am sure that it's merely the camera angle + lens distortion, but the hacking pockets paired with the apparent shortness of the jacket in these particular photos make you look like you have child-bearing hips.
I am certain that you don't.

One is not truly a Senior Member of StyleForvm until they have had this comment made on their denim.
