    Navy Overcoat with Blue trousers?

    I would say overcoat and trouser textures/shades are usually different enough that it wouldn't be a problem. In addition, coats are outerwear, meaning that you have some license to prioritize function over form and you'll be taking it off indoors anyway. Coats are available in many different...

    Second hand Dormeuil, worth it?

    Dormeuil cloth is of great quality and for 65USD the quality would certainly be worth it. I would say the texture makes it wearable on its own, perhaps with trousers in grey or blue. The main question is fit. From the pictures it's difficult to tell how it fits. It would be easier to assess...

    Proper Cloth Shirt Fit Feedback

    I agree with what the others said about the length. It could be taken in, but perhaps in the summer you want something more relaxed. That's up to you and how you feel in the shirt, which isn't something we can tell from the pictures. Other than that, the shirt fits well, the back and front...

    H&M overcoat - worth a try or avoid?

    I'm happy with the fit. I'm slim as well and it doesn't look baggy or loose, but a jacket fits comfortably underneath as well. Peacoats are usually cut a bit looser as well. As for length, I'm 179 cm and the coat size EU 48 comes down to almost knee-length, and the sleeves go slightly past my...

    H&M overcoat - worth a try or avoid?

    I think I have the same coat, though I bought it discounted to 75 EUR. Haven't worn it yet, so I can't say much about the warmth/quality. Although for a slim body type it seems good, I went a size up to be able to wear a suit or a jacket undeneath. H&M "Premium Quality" does seem better made...

    Ask A Question, Get An Answer... - Post All Quick Questions Here (Classic menswear)

    I have already got several navy crew-neck and v-neck sweaters, but I've been thinking of getting something in other colours for this fall/winter: a v-neck and possibly a cardigan as well. What colours do you recommend? They would usually be worn to school in a smart casual style with navy...

    Can you check my feature on this new suit?

    The fit seems very good, at least from the pictures: the suit has generally got nice, clean lines, the collar sits on the neck, length seems good, etc. One thing to note though: the shoulders seem to extend past your natural shoulders. This isn't wrong, but if the suit has very light shoulder...

    Please help a newbie: what tie would you wear with these two shirts?

    In my opinion, these kinds of shirts are too dark to be worn with a tie. The standard combination of a dark jacket, light shirt and dark tie looks almost always more appropriate and flattering, because they provide the necessary contrast and visual interest. In fact, I think both of those shirt...

    Thanks for the tip! I have been thinking about that, actually.

    Suitsupply NYC

    The front seems a bit short, I agree, but it covers my seat and is otherwise good, so I don't mind. Possibly, that might work. I have thought of trying my normal size in an L length, but I'm not sure if that might be going too far in the other direction. I might try it if I happen to be in...

    Suitsupply NYC

    Got my first "proper" suit (100% wool, half-canvas construction, decent quality) along with this red striped tie from their shop in Tallinn, Estonia recently. We tried a few models, but eventually decided on this charcoal Lazio model in size EU44. The jacket fit great, but the salesman said the...

    Fall journey into menswear, advice most welcome.

    Cuffs are an entirely valid but never an obligatory option on nearly all trousers. Currently they're out of fashion, but can still be worn. They may be more prevalent on flannel trousers, because those are a more classic (or old-fashioned, depending on whom you ask) style, but plain-hemmed...

    Fall journey into menswear, advice most welcome.

    Yes, it's clearly shaped in the waist. Possibly even too small, as others mentioned, but I can't really tell from the picture. The general principle here is that a combination looks more coherent if the shilouette of the jacket and trousers are broadly similar. Navy trousers aren't really...

    Fall journey into menswear, advice most welcome.

    1. Brown is wuite versatile and I would recommend something blue or navy as well. That pairs very nicely with grey trousers. 2. Jacket length is difficult to shorten, because it can be expensive and throw off the proportions of the jacket (pockets, buttoning point). Have you tried on the S&M...

    Can I wear an overcoat over a sports jacket and chinos?

    @Andrew0409 you certainly can, if you need another layer over the jacket. More athletic zip-up coats or puffer jackets are too casual to be worn over a tailored jacket, although Brits sometimes do wear Barbour waxed jackets over tweed. Last winter, I wore a coat every day, usually over just some...
