nothing wrong with it IMO, just nothing too exciting here. but, may day to day sw&d guys are guilty of the same thing.

here, but I think they're great, from jeans to suit. (Forgive me for not using
the right clothing terms; I don't know how to do SW&D language (if there is
such a thing) and I'm not a native speaker.)

Oh, and I read some of you don't like detail pictures"”I do.

Okay, here goes:

Be gentle.

Valid criticism: Shirt pulls at the chest (stretchy so it isn't restricting, but what else is new), collar is too small, pants are wrinkly. wow, didn't notice how wrinkly they are.

i also think the lapels are too skinny, makes them look a little dated.

this is good to know, we now have something to recommend to everyone who asks "Hey guys i really really like W+H Service Boots where can i get them for $100?"

I find this odd, although its been pointed out a few times.

I don't wear a suit or tie to work, though I do wear sportsjackets. If I'm meeting a client, a suit is expected.

While I may only wear a suit once/month (client meetings, plus a few weddings/formal events per year), that once/month is the most important event of the month, and the one wear I care most about my appearance.

Going the other way, I own a few pairs of jeans now, but did not own any for a 4-5 year stretch recently. My old ones wore out, and I just never replaced them. I've only recently started wearing them again on weekends. And of course, as soon as I get home from work. At this rate, I'll have a nice fade by 2013, hopefully its still cool then.

What strikes me the most is the short jacket, it's really really short.

Not a bad stylish suit. It would look great on a skinny azn. Unfortunately, you are neither. Proportion plays a key role in MC. If you're going for fashion style points, OK. However, there is a different mindset that takes current trends into consideration, and adjusts it according to your particular body type. You might want to check out MC WAYRN for posters similar to your body type, note their suit proportions, & and infuse your personal steez into it. Good luck on your interviews.

^^ All things considered: your shoulders fit great, and sleeve length is spot on. Hem your trousers, keep the suit, and wear for the next year or so, until narrow lapels are out of style.

Wasnt one of the main issues with SW&D from MC perspective that it was too 'current' style oriented? In stead of getting what different lapel is in style, why not just get the one that 'suits' you the most?

Trousers look godawful and the skinny lapels are not good. Whole suit looks wrinkled and cheap. White and light grey are not good colors for pale white people. Also don't think you can get away with an unbuttoned dress shirt like that with your chest/shoulders. Congratulations you're in good shape. Now stop dressing like an aneroxic hipster. Get some ******* Yohji or something. <3
