    Date is wearing black dress... What do I wear?

    Took the advice! Thanks everyone! Ended up wearing the navy blue suit, black cap toes, a white shirt, and a nice dark blue tie. Success!

    Date is wearing black dress... What do I wear?

    I got a last minute invite to a work event and my date is wearing a black dress (the event is not black tie). What's the best menswear choice to match? I only have a navy suit... I presume I need to wear black shoes and a white dress shirt, but what do I do about the tie? Any recommendations...

    Is This SF Approved?

    not a huge fan of that combo... ugly christmas sweaters are fine, varsity jackets are fine, but together, not so fine.

    Newb question: Tailoring vs MTM / Bespoke

    buying off the rack, in my opinion, is far simpler, easier, and cheaper than taking a mtm or bespoke route. can't tell you how many stories i've read of people who have been disappointed with their very pricey purchases. that said, if you are too slim to buy something OTR, then bespoke or mtm...

    Arguments against wearing business shirts in casual enviornments?

    i think you could probably get away with a less formal "dress shirt" in a more casual setting. try going with a hemmed dress shirt or shorter OBDC shirts (jcrew?).

    How long till Hermes cartoon/icon ties are laughably outdated? (like acid wash jeans)

    these ties are definitely still popular on wall street even though i think they're kind of dopey. hermes isn't the only one who are doing these, however. jcrew and vineyard vines also dabble in the critter/animal cartoon prints. i don't know how much longer they'll be popular, but i highly...

    Do you use a bifold or a card case and a money clip

    water buffalo card case from coach. it's been a huge step up from the trifold i used to rock. recently, however, i've been thinking of going to the clip.

    Are Jackets Getting Shorter?

    the trendy suits are all pretty short... check out theory suits, for instance. i've also noticed this trend for a lot of asian guys. i personally like shorter suits because i, myself, am short; however, i find jackets that are too short don't look good.

    Should I go up a size with my undershirt? (Pic)

    i think it looks fine. if you size up, it will likely be more baggy through the body area.

    Are my jacket sleeves too short?

    sleeves are just slightly too short (maybe). jacket is definitely too short. for a first suit, i'd go with something more classic vs. something trendy like the one in the pictures.

    Wide vs Skinny Lapel

    i'm a smaller guy, so i prefer narrower (not super skinny). i think larger lapels can look great on some men though.

    Longines watch bracelet change. Need opinions

    both look good. i like solid gold better though. looks more classic, in my opinion.
