Geller has new denim cuts for SS '15. In the past, I've never been able to fit into Geller denim, but the new Type 3 cut is great.

Way better than your last fit. But, as another member of the tall and slim club, I recommend you consider sizing up one on much of your clothes. Pea coat looks great, but your jeans are too skinny to work with your coat and shoes. Cardi and shorts were waaay too small in your last fit. Slim silhouettes are great, as long as you don't go overboard and look like you are almost naked. Even a looser fit looks great on slim guys- see Yohji and Margaret Howell for examples.


Thanks, that jeans is a size up actually, they are 30" (And have also stretched quite a bit) while I'm 28" waist as mentioned before, but I will start sizing up from now on to 29" at least.

The cardigan was too tight, I went back to the shop and got an M which is much more relaxed, will post it in a fit soon.

I think the guys are right and in this particular case the shoes ruined the outfit a bit because as mentioned they are quite big and more suitable for a wider hem or tailored trousers so it puts the eyes more on the slimness of the jeans.

I think that fit with the shorts and cardigan was just too much, tight on tight doesn't work well and I realise that now, but in all fairness not all my clothes are tight, in that particular case it was bad. And BTW that was the first time I wore those shorts so the rise was still quite high and they needed to loosen up a bit. After a few hours they now sit much lower and look better, in my opinion at least, but let's not open that discussion again.

Anyway thank you for the feedback, appreciated and I hope my next fit will show more improvement.

P.S.

@RegisDB9 love the fit.

@RegisDB9

BTW off topic question, is your nickname based on the fact that you actually have an Aston Martin DB9? :D


Lets just say I love me some Astons and Jaguars. Both are going in different directions style wise now so I'm not too sure about my loyalties anymore haha

It's not the waist that really needs upsizing, it's the slimness through the thigh/calf/hem--that's what makes them look jegging-y.

I truly appreciate your opinion, but seriously I have tried many straight fits and in all honesty I just don't think that they look good on me. On Sunday when I went to the Acne shop I must have tried 4-5 pairs of straight fits, wish I would have taken pictures to show here, they looked absolutely ridiculous on me, not kidding. I know that other people's opinions matter and I will definitely start wearing stuff that are less tight, I needed that wake up call because believe me I have worn pants that are much skinnier than what I've posted here, but I still think that slimmer cuts look better on me and I'll keep wearing them. I will try to balance them better with your recommendations: Slouchier/boxier tops, and sleeker shoes for a more streamlined look.

This is seriously going to be my only comment on this, but go into a dior store and try on a pair of 19cm jeans. I am 99% certain you will look great.
