This is my kind of fit, simple and easy. Well done. Not a critique in sight.

Rolled/cuffed jeans.. I don't understand it. I'm with you 100%, except I think a slight break works. I have quite a bit of break in my jeans but that's preference. I think casual pants like jeans and chinos need some break. Basically, I always thought there should be a 'transition' to the shoe to make it look better. Cuffs on the work pants and break on the casual pants. No break and no cuff is hard for me. But, it gets done well all the time. Spoo is a perfect example. But, again, that's not jeans or chinos.

+100000 I I still refer to my fathers book "Dress for Success" which told me the perfect way to wear pants. Single break in front, touching top of the heel in back for dress pants. I like a tad longer on jeans. I see people with their cuffs in jeans and sometimes it looks good, but I think it belongs on young skinny guys. Josh's fit looked fine to me the only thing I would have done different is probably a walnut colored monk strap instead of loafers.

Good call on the monkstrap. But as a guy who owns two suede string loafers, with another on the way, as well as a navy shell full-strap (and maybe getting more later), loafers are excellent in my eyes. Nothing wrong with a good monk. A suede single monk (NOT the Carmina one at Epaulet that's basically a double monk) is hard to beat. Spoo and NOBD have some of the best.

The glasses are tortoise shell frame Serengeti with standard bronze lens, rendered in Wayfarer style.

Cross post from the hat thread. Shoes are darker in the pic than irl for some reason:

I rarely take pictures, but since I got these (not so great) photos for the Friday challenge, I thought I'd x post. Color of the jacket is better in the spoiler.

This thread has been looking really good lately!

Today:


I think I will take this shirt to a tailor to slim down the sides to reduce that-top heavy look, and give it a little more shape.

PS Jeans are fresh out of the laundry, not usually so tight!

Shirt, pants and loafers look great. Need a belt to break up the line a bit. Hat... I am not a big hat fan so no comment. I have never been a fan of the large 2" cuffs, but man those pants look great with them.

Definitely gonna work on the whole.. taking pictures properly thing. For the next pic I'll make sure to do that.
