I need a recommendation for shorts that fit like those. I'm 5 8, 161 LBs and a general size 30-32 waist. Muscular plus stocky-ish build. I like the fit of those because they are tapered, no extra material, the length is slightly longer than usual which looks better on me plus the rise is lower that usual so that helps make my legs look a bit longer. Any suggestions on similar shorts?
Welcome to SF, where everyone is muscular with an athletic build. Joking aside, buy whatever shorts you like and get them tailored down. That's what I do and I find the results are much better then buying 'slim' shorts off the rack (as long as you have a good tailor).

Are there any good/decent quality crew/v-neck washable sweaters in the sub $100 price range? That hold their shape? I'm tired of wizard sleeved h&m sweaters.

Thanks in advance.

Fiorentini + Baker?

Yeah, I looked at the selection @ Barneys.com. For some reason my eyes keep getting drawn back to Frye Harness boots. I am just wondering if there is some aspect of there design that people generally don't like that would sway my opinion one way or another.

I’m looking into getting a leather bracelet or strap around my wrist. Any suggestions? I’ve got small wrists, maybe 8 inches around (I have a normal size dong). Something pretty simple, thanks dudes!

So the store that I was going to get my florsheim duckie brown suede oxfords from sold out of my size and they are too expensive for me at most other stores I can find. So what is a mid level pair of suede bucks? Something better than bass but cheaper than MMNA.

I need help building up my shoes wardrobe since right now the shoes are basically chucks and katahdins. What kind of footwear should I obtain?

Picked up some medium grey shorts and primarily white sneakers. Looking to buy some v-neck Ts. What colors will match well?

amstokesdb9 · Mar 11, 2011

Grey is easy, you can do most colors. Just not more grey

Can anyone recommend a show similar in color and design to these suede CPs that cost a bit less?

You could try these from Nordstrom.

Brooks Brothers usually has a pair, but they are not currently on the site.

Anyone have any recommendations on some (relatively) cheap scoop neck t-shirts/long sleeves?

imo, no wardrobe can go wrong with a pair of clarks desert boots, common project low achilies, and alden indys.
