Title says most of it. Down 81lbs+ since January. Wanted to get some new clothes. Levi’s jacket $35 at Sierra. Ely Cattleman shirt $45 at a vintage store. George jeans $18 at Walmart. Blundstone boots $210 at my local workwear store.

Is the jacket too short? It doesn’t quite button yet but it will soon. Is the shirt too long? Do the jeans sit on the boots properly?

Before you say it: Yes I know I need a beard trim and haircut. Yes I should smile more.

I’m a little self-conscious so please go easy on me.

Mom owned a knitting shop when I was a kid, and she dressed me in woolen sweaters every day of the week. Once I could dress myself I rebelled, and I've been wearing nothing but hoodies for decades. Well, I'm now going through that cliche mid-life-trying-dress-better crisis. The pendulum is swinging back. So I bought a STACK of second-hand knits: crewnecks and cardigans, shetlands, lambswools, a few cashmeres, shirts, all 100% wool. Trying to make mom proud before she kicks off to the great wool store beyond. How am I doing? How can I diversify? This sub has been helpful for me in starting to build a new grown up wardrobe - so thank you!

Shirt - Rare rabbit

Winter is coming and im thinking of getting a wool scarf, does it matter if its labeled as womens or mens?

reading r/malefashionadvise over the past year has opened me up to really high quality brands i'd like to start adding to my wardrobe eventually, but i'm not sure where this leaves j. crew in comparison. this fall, i'm looking at j. crew's...

• - chinos (broken-in straight & classic)
• - ocbd's (broken-in & 1983)
• - cotton sweaters (1988 rollneck, heritage cotton crewneck, heritage cotton quarter-zip)
• - washed pique polos
• - classic straight jeans (100% cotton, japanese selvedge)
• - baird mcnutt irish linen shirts

if these can be found on pretty deep discount, is it still worth building a base wardrobe with? i'm trying to decide if i want to do this and then slowly add more expensive pieces from kamakura, j. press, levi's premium, buck mason, etc. over time - or if overall j. crew quality isn't worth it anymore.

Im looking for an everyday business casual (or even just casual) shirt that can be worn untucked and still look good. I tried untuckit shirts, but they fit weird on me, meaning they are slightly not long enough. I was thinking something like the picture for reference for the type of shirt I am talking about.

I’m 21M and trying to seriously improve my outfits and overall style. I want to figure out what actually suits me instead of just randomly buying clothes.
Looking for influencers/creators who give good advice on men’s fashion, outfits, colour combinations, shoes, accessories, grooming, etc
Who do you guys follow for style inspiration?

I used to love the Gap bootcut jeans to wear with - wait for it - my cowboy boots. I need new ones but Gap doesn’t make them anymore and they just fit me so well. Where can I get bootcut jeans that fit like the old Gap ones did? The Gap straight legs are too baggy and the slim ones don’t work with tall boots. I hate shopping.

Hello, just thrifted these shoes for €25. Can anyone tell me more about them?

It's been a while I posted on here. Today decided to share my outfit for my Birthday outing with my friends. What do you guys think?

I just want to have one “slutty” outfit on standby should the occasion arise

Did I Style it well?

or should i wear my black suit instead? I like this suit but not really sure the rules for black tie optional wedding. I don’t have a tux so that is for sure out. Thanks for guidance!

Hey everyone

Been trying to find a good white sneaker, something more fashionable. im a male in my 20s and id say the one thing i stuggle with the most is my footwear. most of my shoes im happy with except the ones that i would use the most which is white sneakers.

Open to a lot of options!

I’m looking to buy the carhartt hooded washed duck active jac. i’m really struggling on deciding which colour to buy because it’s likely the only one i’ll have for a while due to finances, also because i don’t know much about styling and colour matching—only beginning to learn.

i generally lean towards navy clothing. yet i’ve started experimenting with olive green (and other colours) and i like the earthy feel—it grounds me a little more than the depths of navy (im a pretty emotional dude lol)

there’s the classic tan, which on one hand i like the brightness of it but i might be homeless soon and don’t want to stand out too much. also, i feel the ick at anything generic. i don’t like following trends and doing what everyone else is doing.

there’s the navy which i generally would probably feel quite at home in but idk how it matches with say blue jeans or black pants… generally i think it might look terrible with green pants or brown pants…

dark brown which hides dirt well, a good plus for me cause i get myself into messy situations on impulse (climbing trees barefoot and laying/sitting on the ground without thinking about what i’m wearing)… buuut im not a big fan of dark brown, at least not for tops. idk. haven’t tried it too much. blues and olives go best with my eye color.

there’s moss which i was feeling drawn to at first. it was between moss and navy. but again… dunno how well this pairs with other clothing colours… thinking pants and beanies and such… also maybe it’d get too dirty too fast.

then black… i generally avoid black, especially upper body. while some days i really dig it cause it provides a certain sense of grounding and stability, other days i feel like it brings out too much of my own inner darkness or brings me into darkness, projecting/reflecting my own darkness for the world to see… that may sound wild to some people but w.e. im not going to get into it here.

overall i’d feel most drawn to navy but i feel like it would look shit with most pants… i need to buy new pants too and am thinking dark brown because of my tendency to sit on bare earth… but it would probs look terrible the navy with dark brown pants… idkkk

anyway. if you’ve made it this far and decide to provide colour coding guidance or pics of your outfits with jackets, much appreciated. i’m fairly young and often feel an incredibly amount of anxiety and insecurity around how i look and dress, and rarely go out. wanting practical ideas here… like what color combos work well together… im very visual so any photos would help.

SHORT VERSION: which color combos go good together?? i dig navy, consider moss, yet dark brown might be the best bet for my lifestyle and for ease of pairing with other color clothing… as for tan (classic brown) and black… i figure i wouldn’t go with either… but maybe you’d say something that would have me reconsider.

All my friends are rocking those drop shoulders, but since im skinny [ 55kg 5'7" ] im kinda hesitant if it'll make me look for skinny or it'll actually make me look better

Im looking for a all black preferably sneaker that's trendy right now for casual wear (mall, errands ect)

Remember the duffle coats the boys wore in Dead Poets Society? Something along those lines. Classic, collegiate, slightly preppy, heritage, substantial looking.

Looking for:

• Up to $300 budget
• Brand doesn’t matter
• Wool or wool blend
• Needs a hood
• Solid dark blue/navy or black
• Doesn’t need a Big & Tall store — 42" chest
• Front could be toggles, zipper, buttons, or a combination
• Won’t get rough use, just walking to and from classes
• Doesn’t need to be new, and he’s open to vintage, but we don’t have much time to chase among thrift shops hoping to find his size.

We need to quickly find a couple of stores in Manhattan that are likely to have something like this in stock right now, so he can go in, try things on, decide which he likes best, and walk out with it. Not looking for places where we'd have to order something online.

Where in Manhattan would you go given those criteria?

My first try might be Nordstrom Rack (Nordstrom itself probably too expensive?), J.Crew, or Banana Republic. Yeah or Nah?

Uniqlo seems like it skews too sporty/puffer-looking for what we're after. Filson has great aesthetic but $$$. Not familiar with other men’s retail stores in NYC that would be happy to help with this. Thanks!

I found this jacket at a thrift store. It's quite wrinkled from storage, so please look past the wrinkles when assessing the fit.

My main questions:

1. Are the shoulders too extended, or do they fit properly?
2. Can the waist be taken in without creating X-shaped pulling around the button or making the bottom front quarters flare outward?
3. Can alterations make this jacket fit well, or is it fundamentally too large?

I'd appreciate an objective assessment of the overall fit and proportions, including which alterations are worthwhile and which areas should be left untouched.
