back to LA; boring work fit today

not sure about the shoes with this suit, looks better in person but I think I will stick to black shoes with this suit from now on...

Not sure if you've done this already, but you should definitely post this fit in the Manton conservative business dress thread in MC. They will give you some very pointed feedback on the fit.

From my eye (however little that maybe worth), the fit on the suit is pretty good. I would probably cuff the pants.

The shoes are little too casual to go with a suit. You could definitely use them with a SC and slacks combo. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss brown shoes with your navy suit, however. I much prefer brown with navy instead of black.

ya know it's funny, I don't think it's all that great but everyone else seems to love it. I get at least one compliment every time I wear it. Although according to SF logic, that is a bad sign, I guess.

What's the neck size on your dress shirts? 14?

It's nothing special; it's from a slightly-better-than-H&M retail chain in then UK called Next. I'm kind of over it at this point and as people here are pointing out, the stripes aren't the best idea for someone as trim as I am anyway. I'm going to be upgrading the suit section of my wardrobe soon and once I do, this one will probably get ebayed or something.

My dress shirts are 14.5x33.

Neo,

Great pictures as usual. If you don't mind me asking, how is it that you are able to travel so much and to so many nice places? What do you do for a living?

I would undo the second button on the shirt. It's spring/summer and you're fit is casual so go all the way with it. Like whatever said, if you don't burn the shoes at least get something other than those vans. No likey.

Nice pics, mellow, looks like you enjoyed that brunch. I'm surprised we haven't run into each other in the city yet. I'll keep an eye out for the dude stylin' on everyone.

At this rate, I just assume you like your shirts to always fit one size too big? Or are you still trollin'?

I like the fit, and those CPs are growing on me b/c of your fits. Would you recommend the shoes then after wearing them about?

And not your usual footwear with those RRLs either, which is why this is one of my favorite fits of yours so far. Good stuff. If you wore those blue vans with this outfit, I would have been all

i don't really have anything against it, i was just curious how you felt about it. i'm not even going to try to get into what other people are thinking. it seemed to me from your comment that you didn't really care for your clothes. if that's the case, why not get some new togs and feel like the jumpoff?

Tonio they're fantastic, just a little heavy for the weather, my feet cant handle them ahaha.

Nah, I really appreciate what good faith SF advice I've received, and have taken it to heart in recent purchases. Sometimes I do prefer bigger fits. This was actually based on recent Charlie Sheen pics.

You get compliments because it is a good color (looks like light purple). Although when I wear that color I prefer it to be more intense. Suit fit is meh, probably better than everyone else at the firm though. Those shoes are wrong. You may be able to do that that color but you need a sharper looking shoe. or boot, better yet. [also, I like navy with black shoes. Don't tell the neighbors]

May have to say this is my favorite fit of yours!!

i wouldn't have thought it is one of my best, but im glad people like it.
And yeah, the pants fit really well. just got them a few days ago on ebay (i was the only bidder)... i was a little worried they would possibly be too small, but they worked out great.
They are a thick, heavy cotton jersey, so they basically feel like wearing sweatpants, and it gave the outfit a really relaxed/comfy feel.
