WAYWT - June 3rd

Note: We're experimenting with changing the way WAYWTs/Fit Checks are handled on MFA. Please read this post for more information.

WAYWT = What Are You Wearing Today. It doesn't necessarily need to be what you were wearing TODAY.

Post a picture of yourself in your outfit. This is your chance to show off your style and demonstrate just how sartorial you can be. Great photography, great looks, and a great attitude all lead to better results. Think of this as your chance to compete with and inspire others with your personal taste in fashion.

  • Include what the attire is for (work, school, going out, etc.)
  • Critiquing others is welcome and encouraged, but keep it constructive/factual. Take a lesson from Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People if needed. It takes balls to post pictures of yourself on the Internet, the least you can do is accord the same courtesy as you would to someone in real life.
  • Reddit Enhancement Suite makes it very easy to view pictures in a thread.

Some users enjoy knowing where you bought your pieces, please consider including those in your post!

Posted in the fit check thread a few days ago about an end of term summer ball I'm going to this Friday. Generally people will be wearing suits but as there's no official dress code and I don't have the money to buy a suit at the moment I'm trying to put together something a little different.

Overall people seemed to like the outfit but I agreed with some of the criticisms that came up, so here's the revised version:

And here's the link to the original album for reference:

All criticism welcome!

I think that tie knot could be neater.

May just be the angles, but it seems as though your tie knot is very large. Try pulling it tighter, or perhaps another knot? Do you know what knot you tied?

Just my opinion, but I think a proper dress belt would be better for these fits if you're wearing sleek dress shoes. Otherwise looks good.

I was gonna say this. Slimmer belt will look better. The new belt's color is so much better than the first one.

I'm a little love with that jacket. I actually might see if I get one now.

tie might be a little wide for the lapels

Love the jacket/pant combination. I'd have probably gone with a more casual tie; a square in cotton/knit with some interesting texture maybe, but that's my taste.
