1 and 3 are nice and simple, work well.

I’d consider scrapping 2 altogether. Looks a bit incoherent. The shades of brown/tan don’t pair well together. The fit of the nylon hat is a bit too snug when paired with a puffer. And the Jordan’s feel like they came out of nowhere.

I have a hard time judging your fits. On paper everything looks good. It’s like a fantasy football lineup where your team should crush but it doesn’t materialize on field.
I generally think it just comes down to how the actual clothes fit overall. I understand oversized is on trend but everything feels just a notch past that mark. Like if it all fit slightly smaller then I think it would look less sloppy. I’m not talking like sizing down hedi era slp but just a cleaner fit. You’re a big dude but the way the clothes fit hides that in a bad way while simultaneously exaggerating it in other ways, **** I hope that makes sense.
Honestly, the more I look at the fits I really think it could all look cleaner with simple fixes from a tailor.
In general the fit in the body is fine but if we could shorten your sleeves and hem in your pants so it doesn’t look like it was pooling around your hands and feet then I think it would look much better.

#3 is the best imo. Simple colors with a pop of white at the hood liner for good contrast. If the inseam was shortened I think it would look even better.

Yeah I agree with the guys above. 3 is the best one, 2 is mismatched. Overall like the guy said above if everything is a bit more slimmer 1 would look better. Those sunglasses are nice too.

I went on Yelp, found a solid local seamstress with lots of reviews, and showed her pics of how I wanted the pants to fit. After I had one pair of jeans that fit me well, I would always bring that pair with me to the tailor and have her match the measurements on the new pair.

@MIKE_JE what is different between the two iterations of the suede chelseas? I bought the older model from SSENSE since it was $200 cheaper but they pulled the listing so I can't compare them anymore.
