    Are these trousers too wide?

    I like the fuller trouser look but wonder if these are taking it a bit too far? I noticed Derek Guy made a Twitter post recently showing a guy with clearly clownishly-large trousers and the caption "Too many Derek Guy tweets" and I wonder if these are heading in that direction? (Obviously they...

    How can I wear this black (very) casual blazer?

    So I know black jacket is usually frowned on here, but I grabbed this one at a great price and as it is super casual I feel like I should be able to make some ok outfits with it! Honestly, it's so comfy it feels like a cardigan. Anyway, what can I wear with it? Do these styles look ok? Any...

    Spring overshirt looks

    Experimenting with different shirt/t-shirt/ trousers looks, to work out a style I like for southern English springtime climate, which as you probably know is becoming increasingly warm but still unpredictable. Mostly just messing around with different colours/cuts of shirt and trousers to see...

    How does this suit fit? (Black tie)

    I'm thinking it's fine but probably some people here can suggest some nips/tucks to make it sharper?

    Spier and McKay Casual Oxford shirts

    I bought a few of these shirts just because they were in the sale and the colours plugged the gap in my Oxford Cloth collection which otherwise is entirely Drakes (with a couple of Uniqlo). The first thing I noticed is that the cloth feels very different from the other Oxford cloth shirts I...

    Does a suede belt work with jeans?

    I know suede is generally considered to be a more casual fabric but is a slim suede belt still too dressy to wear with jeans? (you can't see them too fully here but the jeans are slim and quite dark). I like to wear jeans with a sports coat for casual but making-an-effort occasions but not...

    Good casual menswear style blogs?

    I enjoy reading Permanent Style because it covers interesting clothes and Simon writes well and regulatory. But I'm looking for something that's a bit more casual focused and perhaps a bit less luxe, as a lot of the fine bespoke tailoring and such that he writes about isn't hugely relevant to my...

    How to keep clothes looking new?

    Just something I'm interested in - I don't have a problem with clothes ageing and acquiring character, I would just like to know how it's done. Take cotton trousers for example, as in my pics here. After one wash, they always come out with this kind of puckering around the seams - and the...

    Neckerchief - rakish or effeminate?

    Been experimenting with wearing a bandana neckerchief during this recent spell of warm weather. Can't decide whether it looks cool or just affected/old-fashioned cosplay. Don't see many others wearing it round these parts (SF or real life) but I quite like the overall effect. Thought I...

    Linen seems difficult to do as a casual odd jacket

    I have two linen sports coats, navy blue and light brown. I do this thing where I snap a picture of what I am wearing most days, and then save the ones I like into an album. I review the folder every now and then for inspiration and delete anything I don't still think looks good. And there are...

    All white in the back?

    Does it look ok to wear white/off-white shirt and trousers together like this, it there is a belt breaking them up or even a jacket in a different colour? Or does it just always look silly to have trousers and shirt so closely matched?

    Should I get these shirts shortened so I can wear them better untucked?

    Wondering if I should get my Oxford shirts shortened. I always wear them tucked but with the ongoing casualisation of society I'm getting more into the idea of wearing them untucked, probably with a t-shirt underneath. So was just wondering if they look a bit long? I have 5 or 6 of these...

    Is a "work shirt" designed always to be worn untucked?

    I am talking about a type of shirt that is probably chambray or denim - something like this: https://statement-store.com/products/buzz-rickson-s-usn-selvedge-chambray-work-shirt-indigo-blue?variant=39407866249261 Is it something like a chore jacket that's clearly meant to be outerwear, or is...

    Is this a good look? Army coat and loafers?

    This coat/shirt/ jeans combo is one I've been wearing a fair bit recently through a dreary, relatively cold English springtime. Just wondering whether people feel the somewhat smart-ish leather loafers are a good match for the comparatively casual army coat and jeans? Or would the army-style...

    Cardigan with a tie - stylish flex or just old man-esque?

    Is it ok to wear a tie with a cardigan standing in for the jacket, like this? Or is it just better to drop the tie? Or just wear a normal jacket? (Am basically thinking of a tie-optional work environment for this one) It is a knitted tie and worn with cord trousers to keep it all casual. Edit...

    Tops that go with linen trousers

    Getting towards time to start thinking about spring. linen trousers (as separates) ... Particularly dressier ones as opposed to drawstrings or something... Is it stylistically congruent to wear with an Oxford cloth shirt? Or is it better to stick to linen shirts, or finer cotton? to avoid...

    Do these cord trousers go with my casual sports jackets?

    Or should they be saved for wearing with t-shirts/sweaters? They are cut like jeans rather than like tailored trousers, as my other cords are.

    Advice/ Feedback on my Winter 22/23 Styles Please?

    So I think I am progressing in my ability to create outfits that look at least somewhat stylish and put-together. Certainly, when I look back at outfits I photographed myself wearing from last winter, or even the more recent spring/summer shots, I think I am getting closer to mastering the...

    Long sleeve wool polo - with a shirt underneath?

    I have a few of these long-sleeved polos in merino wool or cashmere, and I have always worn them either with nothing underneath or at most an undershirt. Then I came across this Permanent Style article about Luca Faloni which has a picture of a guy wearing one with a shirt underneath it, which...

    Fit advice on this corduroy suit please

    Decided that I want in on this corduroy suit thing too. So obviously this is meant to fit loose and roomy, which it feels like it does. The legs are much too long (they're unfinished at 36" or something) so that's an easy fix. But apart from that how does it look? One thing I am not sure...
