WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

IrateCustomer: for those with black trousers and white short sleeve shirts... ask them for one order of tacos! ¡6 de pastor con todo!

What color are they? They look a peachy-pink kind of color. They're OK. I wouldn't wear them but they don't fit my attitude. 

I had some purple and 'ash' linen pants that I sold, the colors were also too fashion forward for me. I'm sticking to the basics. Shades of white, brown, khaki, maybe a navy, greys. And jeans.

They are a burnt orange color. I wouldn't wear peachy-pink pants either. Not my thing.

Aah. Better, much better.

We need to help you out, something you could tell them. "Yeah, did you wake up and look at your pants and say, 'should I wear those black ones?.. or.. those?.... or.. maybe these ones...? Maybe... these ones instead.... Yeah, there we go."

Pants and shirt are cool, but I think the browns from the shoes, watch and belt don't blend well. I also think that the belt is too casual for the shoes.

thanks for the feedback. yeah, the belt was not a great choice for the fit.

Maybe I should follow their lead and wear black pants with short-sleeve OCBDs eh?

Sadly, I got drawn into a discussion of short sleeve OCBDs on AAAC a week or so ago. Large consensus there: "they look great!". Honestly I don't know why ever read over there anymore.

Agreed. I abhor the high water pants trend. Pants rolled up to high water lengths and outfits waaay too tight are a close 2nd and 3rd.

Demean, +oo on not shortening the jeans.

I had to learn it the hard way and had a pair of otherwise perfectly fine jeans hemmed too short.
It looks ridiculous and I hate myself for doing it.
High water pants are one of the greatest, if not THE greatest abomination spawned by #menswear tumblrs.
It looks bad, on everyone.
Your outfit on the other hand is very nice, keep it as is!

Thanks. These are a relatively high rise for jeans (Levis 508's). My legs are quite short (think human Dachshund!), so most modern jeans just make me look ridiculous But I do agree, some of the high-rise trousers we're seeing are just silly.

Looks great! Now that I see the jeans in a full body shot, I would say that maybe they are too casual for the SC, due to the fades, the length and fit is spot on though.

Thanks. They are quite casual, but this was the only option I had at my local Levis!

I agree, lenght look good to me for that kind of jeans.

Great fit, but why not a nice pair of light beige chinos?

I have a pair, but I don't feel they fit me too well. I can't really figure out what I don't like about them.

No, leave the jeans; length is perfect for jeans. I'd open another button on the shirt but thats just me.
Good stuff.

Thanks, I did end up unbuttoning one more. I just think for photos, the symmetry of it being buttoned up is quite nice.

Agree on the jeans needing shortening, they're bunching at the knee. Tremendous fit otherwise. Lovely pictures, stark contrast to mine.

Thanks!

This looks very tasty! Do you get your shorts tailored? I can never get mine to look the way I want!

Tasty? Not usually what I shoot for, but ok.

I had a few of my shorts tailored. These included. I had them leg opening tapered. Slim fit shorts are usually too tight in the hips for me so I have to buy regular fit and have them tailored.

Stitchy, a slimmer surcingle belt would have been better if you want a casual belt.

Also, it should be in navy. The tan contrast is too much

A wise man once told me symmetry is the root of all evil. Doubt he'll ever read this. NOBD will know who i mean though : )

AS looks good, would have gone with white shoes like purcells there 'cause the dark brown boat shoes and bright pink shorts seem in contrast

Stitchy, we're gonna have to work on your casual game (biz wardrobe looks most excerent (aw, that was before your time))
Belt looks nice in theory but I think it's too long. Either shorten or wrap over the loose end and tuck between belt and pants.
Actually, take a look at Mr.K for some casual looks since I think his sort of vibe could work for you. Even look up Phat Guido (RIP on SF, check his blog?)
