With this weight are they suitable for Winter?

I guess I would ask where. Winter in California, sure. Winter in Chicago, probably not.

Wear it with pride. You're a student, and young, and the jacket is very fashionable right now. When you're a professional, you can worry about classic styling. Until then, this jacket is young and fresh.

@punit12 If you have the funds, and I mean if you are doing well with some great pt job/your parents will pay for it/you're selling your Ritalin prescriptions, you could go up a size and have it altered by a tailor. But, really only if you have money to blow on that. If you would have to give something else up, or feel worried about money, or ptherwise have to try to find the money in any way, just wear it as is. If it came down to alterations or beer, choosebeer. It's not perfect, but it's not awful, either. It's close enough for jazz.

As veremund says, the jacket is fashionable, and, if you find it a little tight, wear it unbuttoned.

YOOX has a lot of suits in cool wool. What does this mean?

190g is very light for a suit fabric - roughly 7.5oz in alternative speak. Any lighter and it's a shirt!

I'd actually be interested to know how it drapes if you ever get any. I live in a year round hot climate and I'm always on the lookout for a good light cloth to give to the tailor.

I'm not buying it but YOOX has a lot of these suits. BTW, buttoned cuffs means that the jacket has functional buttons?

Quote:
I agree. If you are wearing that around the university and going out at night, you'll be fine. Once you get a job and need to dress professionally, you can worry about getting a perfect fit. While I do think the jacket is too short, young people such as yourself look a lot better in short jackets than oldies like me. It is indeed a good color.

Hey all, I'm considering buying a pair of boots like these and wearing them with dark slim jeans. Are these too "hipster"? If so what would be a more traditional alternative? Thanks!

Transitioning into more business suit attire, navy and grey suits.
I've been doing a lot of research into each shoe.

Grenson Stanley Brogue in Tan (aware it's made in India) is on sale for $200.
Allen Edmonds Strands in Walnut is nice too.

Which should I go for? Any other choices?
I don't need the best, just a good starter dress shoe that is versatile, more than decent quality and that won't break the bank.

So I have a 3 piece light grey suit that I love, and the color is perfect to go with medium brown shoes...But if i were to pair the suit with a white shirt and black tie, would the brown shoes and belt remain appropriate?

Get AE seconds or buy them used.

It's worth it to swing for the good stuff.

I think so, but I wouldn't call myself an authority on the subject. Depends where you live, and in what context you're wearing it, of course.

Believe it or not they're from Topman.

I'm unsure of the quality of their shoes but $100 is a steal.

I just realized that the sole and construction is meh. Cool uppers though!
