i really really hate the tie.


black skinny shiny tie = "i decided to step up my style and GQ says skinny ties are in so i'm all fashiony now".


it's especially bad when celebrities' stylists dress them up like that.

The jacket is too big in places, even if you can't size down, you should be looking for a different cut. It's not atrocious, but it's not very good either. Although, the styling of the jacket, acceptable. With a solid shirt and a non-black tie this could be better, but overall not super inspired I suppose. Meh, there has been MUCH worse. Also, winq's post is the most outrageous waywt I've ever seen lmao Although, from personal experience, video is much better than a picture. My legs look so huge in pictures... but they're actually quite toothpicky. Though, still not quite fuji...

I wear slim ties (2.5" at the widest point) most of the times but skinny ties are way too showy for my taste, and hence make one look like trying too hard, especially in a professional environment. in that pic his tie looks like a 1.75" at the widest point. well, i guess i'm just a lil more old fashioned.

that is my skinniest tie... normally i wear ties that are about 2.5-2.75 and just plain button downs. thought i'd go for a something a little different here but from everyone's reaction it seems like that was a failed attempt... o well

Part of it, for me, is the rise of the pants and their shape... Are you sagging them? They seem kind of off, especially around the thigh/waist.

The fit on the guys stuff is pretty good don't know what you guys are going on about. Sure the pieces aren't great but the blazer fit isn't off how you guys say it is, maybe my 21.5" monitor isn't as well calibrated as your guys'.

This is a case of one guy saying something and conditioning everyone to seeing something that isn't there.

+1

everything looks like it fits fine, just the combination and pattern that is off.

Hey, Scooba, I see you got the Ervell jeans already. Love the color, but have to agree with some of the others, I don't think the cut of the jeans work for your build since the thighs down look too baggy for what they're intended to be. I say sell/return and maybe look for the Naked & Famous Vintage Blue Selvage jeans that have a similar color but a fit that might be more for you.

Exactly. Fits and even shoes look acceptable, but would say the pattern and tie combo just isn't working here. Lose the tie and replace the shirt for a solid or even a gingham/not so casual pattern and it would look fine to me.

Jeans + shoes look great tonio. Great fit on the EPs with just the right amount of stack.

Also, I thought I was crazy re: H&M blazer fit. +1 to "it looks like everything fits ok but the patterns/styling needs reconsideration".

Trying something new.
