WAYWRN: Classic Menswear, Casual Style

[in stitches]



it might match the shoes, but it also matches what i wore at summer camp when i was 14.

and the problem is what?

Seconding something Sugarbutch said the other day. I used to do slacks / dress shirt combos, but would not do so anymore. If a jacket is too formal for your office, how about a cardigan or v-neck sweater?

i can wear pretty much what i like at work, but i would never call the shirt a dress shirt. its a very casual plaid from j crew, and teger has explained quite clearly how the pants are very casual. and after much thought, i agree with him.

i would like a nice v-neck though. dont have any atm, and its too warm for one anyways.

I think you would benefit from lighter pants with that shirt, maybe steel grey or a khaki? Navy pants don't quite work with mostly white shirts I think.

as a matter of fact, i usually wear the shirt with khakis, i though it was time to change it up. also, the pants are not lit well, they are lighter irl. i think the colors work quite well.

I know that navy pants get no SF love, but I still like them. Having said that, I think these are too tapered for you (unless the stacking and low-angled photo is accentuating it). I know that narrow leg opening is de riguer these days, but I dont find it always flattering.

thanks man, tbh, i would agree with you. these are the only pants i have that are cut like that, i like them well enough to wear them despite that its not my fave cut.

also, i dont love the stacking, that will be taken care of when hemmed.

PTW: A different shirt would have made all the difference in that fit. Also, running.

Stitchy: +1 on a higher rise for you. You need to extend the apparent length of your legs. I don't have a problem with the belt itself, but there's too much contrast with these pants. Shirt is okay, and it does look like a casual shirt.

PT, i think this is great. really nice combinations all around.

+1

Nice one IST, spot on
Playing around with camo some more.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I would be curious to see the same combination with the pants hemmed a bit higher and pressed with a crease.

while i agree about the higher rise every time i see pics, i really am not sure what it looks like irl. my posted pics are taken by my 8 year old daughter, and this one was taken with the camera timer on a low chair, so the angle is always low and weird. i have never been considered as one with short legs, so i wonder how correct these representations are.

come to think of it, when i met up with 187 i was wearing these pants. maybe he could say the impression they gave off irl. i may PM him and ask him to reply here.

as to the rest, thanks, SB.

Which is weird and bullshit because Howard Yount always sells out of them. One or two pairs as odd pants are good I think.

About to leave for a nice evening in Austin.

Cooler this morning. Brioni tweed jacket, wool shirt, and rust corduroy pants, with Allen Edmonds Hastings. Otherwise sitting around writing about whether walking or running is better for weight loss.

This looks great! Where can I get rust corduroy pants?

IMPOSTOR!!! WHAT HAVE DONE WITH THE REAL PT??!?!?!

I've been staying on my medications and giving normality a shot. But don't worry, I just purchased this from Bookster.

I want to thank Sugarbutch, in stitches, and my other friends for the complements.
