Jeans - fit?
No. If the fit looks wrong to you, it's because the jeans are rather large for the leg above the knee.- mensimageconsultant

Help finding sweaters for man with belly
If you're close to 6' tall, you probably can find a decent fit in a Big & Tall sweater. Also, a retailer like Eddie Bauer is unofficially geared toward hefty men.- mensimageconsultant

Sweater with fur collar?
From a design perspective, it doesn't make much sense - the sweater itself isn't for very cold weather - and the look will be perceived as strange or (because fur) offensive by some.- mensimageconsultant

Class Reunion Help
A sized (e.g., 17 x 32) collared shirt with a check pattern, maybe a sweater or tailored jacket if it's cold. A touch of purple in a shirt tends to be a step up from the normal. Cotton trousers or narrow-wale corduroy pants, in the mid-blue-gray spectrum probably would be best. Dressy non-black...- mensimageconsultant

How to pair my black & white textured blazer?
Pants in medium- or dark gray (not the same shade), navy, dull olive, or medium- or dark brown, as wool or cotton trousers or chinos. Probably black dress shoes over dark brown or burgundy, not balmorals. The shoe material could be suede in some relatively casual situations. The dress shirt...- mensimageconsultant

Can't find the specific clothing i like, looking for specific finds
A tailor might be willing to shorten a pair of shorts if the length is the sole issue, less likely if there's spandex. A fitness-centered forum is more likely than this place to point to an ideal version of that specific item. Image consultants tend to do the piece-by-piece hunting - which is...- mensimageconsultant

Redoing my entire wardrobe. $3-5k budget.
Crewneck sweaters x5 Patterned pants x3 Sweatpants x3 Too many of those. Also, too many plain t-shirts and plain polo shirts. Patterned shirts are arguably a necessity. Buy a polo shirt with a contrasting collar, if you're open to that. Purchase a seersucker shirt. Missing are long-sleeved...- mensimageconsultant

Suitable styles for the exceptionally skinny?
28-inch waist at 6 feet or taller is unusually narrow. Slim probably is the best style for that. Skinny fit in a light color is the danger zone. Zara and H&M are worth trying, might as well save money toward other items. When the weather makes layering not feasible, patterned shirts (but not...- mensimageconsultant

The School Fees We Pay - Mistakes We Make Finding Our Taste
Tailors have to make a living, and some tailors are much more technicians than artists, sometimes without a good aesthetic sense or flexibility in technique. There's an article on the site about choosing a tailor, and it probably should be expanded to address what you've noted.- mensimageconsultant

Tops that go with linen trousers
A silk-blend polo shirt probably is the best polo shirt to wear with (creased, non-drawstring) linen trousers. After that, a very smooth cotton or linen-cotton polo. 100% linen head-to-toe (or ankle) is a bit out there. A tee shirt is not recommended. Too different a "level of formal."- mensimageconsultant

Can Black Ecco Turn be worn with navy jeans
That should also be wearable with most black jeans. (Different material lessen any conflict between shades of black.) It might be wearable with some cargo pants and wide-wale corduroys in dark, dull colors.- mensimageconsultant

help me dress to wedding - what colors should my pants+belt+shirt be
Color coordination is not as important as some sources claim. Please start over with the shoes. The color and style are not right for most weddings. Dark brown or black with more typical stitching would be a better choice. The Allen Edmonds Park Avenue is the basic look to emulate, regardless of...- mensimageconsultant

What to wear with black silk shirt?
Thanks for the new batch of pictures. From a color-coordination standpoint, all that works, but the jackets are slightly too casual for evening. Medium- or dark-gray suede (designed with the pockets toward the waist) is the recommendation if you want a jacket in the sweet spot of dressed up but...- mensimageconsultant

What to wear with black silk shirt?
You aren't new here. You probably have heard of Yoox. Some high-fashion casual jackets (or cheap knockoffs), lighter than a bomber jacket, probably would work with that, but it sounds wasteful just to buy a jacket for a shirt and dressier jackets are much likely to pair well with it. Ideally...- mensimageconsultant
