Looks at once stuffy and baggy. I think it's the billowy shirt paired with the slimmer jeans plus the tuck. I'm getting a real Jerry Seinfeld vibe from the proportions.

I'd either get the shirt tailored or get rid of it. It's not a matter of making it skin tight, but as the shirt is now, the sleeves are too puffy. And while not nearly as big, the sides of the shirt look like they could stand to lose a bit of extra fabric.

I don't really get down with the tucked in, long sleeve button-down shirt look, because it's not usually flattering in a casual context on most body types.

Thanks APK, I see what you're saying about the shirt. The shirt is a medium and I should have gotten a small. I'm not sure what would be involved in salvaging it as far as tailoring goes, but as old as it is I don't think it's worth spending the money on it. Try again tomorrow.

I like wearing suits/dress shoes the rare times i do wear them but if i had to do it 3times a week i'd probably get annoyed


Yeah, it was fun when it was just dress-up.. come June, I gotta start like, shaving and stuff. Suits twice a week, black/navy slacks and white shirt the other three days. Ugh
