but looking at the fit of your shirt makes me think i need to go a bit slimmer on my own fit.

@Aaron01-im starting to realize this now

after seeing how others shirts here fit them, thanks!!!1

That's what this forum is all about, learning what's works. Yeah I can see that your shirt is a bit too big. Just to give you an idea, i am 5' 9" , 167lbs (pretty athletic build), however; i wear a medium in must shirts and some shirts I have are smalls depending on the cut/brand/style.

im a pretty awkward size i think 6"2/ or 3 with a very slim build.also, a lot of my clothes came from my baggy stage.meaning it was a look that i was going for.i tried to change this style and transition into a more appropriate look for my age (31).
since visiting here i have noticed what shirts in my wordrobe have a better fit.mainly the ones that accentuate my body type more and are not baggy...a year or so from now i think i will have re invented myself into something that fits me and is stylish.its been tough so far, i actually had to learn how to shop for myself all over again and not pic out 36" jeants when 33 or 34 fit me without looking like some hood rat teenager!!!

It all comes in due time. I would suggest going to a tailor and get measured up. It is always good to know your real measurements so you will have a idea of how clothes **** properly fit.

Outstanding. Casual is so much more difficult to do well than formal.


Very good.
+1 and thanks

Thanks - I thought there would be one person on here who liked it (and probably only the one )

It's not too short, by the way; it just looks that way 'cause it's blowin' in the wind.
The bag is a Slinger briefcase from Custom Hide.
Nice tie. I need more Grenadines. The Slinger looks good - I've had their Scholar for about a year and it's holding up well.

Thank's gentlemen
The shirt is by an italian brand named Camicissima.

I hope you aren't serious. There is something seriously flawed about that jacket.

I like the colors, but . . . .

Haven't done this in a while so I went back a week.

Ahem:

Where do I begin? I like the pink pants and loafers but something's wrong with the jacket. I know! It's DB & looks like a tent. You need at least 6 lighter buttons and get it waisted.

Cord jacket clashes with the plaid trou IMHO. Otherwise OK.
