i like the shirt fit. the pants are too big - see the extra fabric in the crotch. i think you would do better with a darker frame, check out oliver peoples x ndg ndg-1s. i have a pair and they are killer.

i think one issue is that you're buying american brands. i think you'd benefit from some of the italian pants - mabitex, incotex, etc, very low rise and very slim in the thigh, which you need.

i think its partly the angle. dude is rail thin, i don't think anything is going to disguise that. i have a feeling that that shirt is like an XS.

glasses look good i reckon,
im saying just loosen the hair a bit, unless your Don Draper the side part is difficult.

cover that forehead a bit. from the sides to the middle. I figure with longer locks you can pull of any look.

we're not talking rock n roll here, just a centimeter or two.

Honestly, I've always assumed that SVB was purposefully trying to hit a white, nerdy, slightly ironic look super hard; basically doing the 1950s poindexter look so on-point that it was a little comical, Devo style. If his ultra nerdiness is not on purpose, I feel bad. But, like, isn't it? I feel like advice like 'grow your hair out a little, wear it a little messier, wear your clothes a little more rumpled' is definitely good if he wants to look cooler"”but is counter-purpose if he's trying to play up his white 'n nerdy look.
