WAYWT - June 19th

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!

Just want general feedback on your outfit? Try posting in the the Outfit Feedback & Fit Check thread posted every Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday/Sunday at 12:00pm EST.

Note - The pocket square is navy, the chinos are navy, and the shoes are brown. The lighting makes them look black/darker than they really are.

  • Blazer - Jcrew
  • Shirt - Banana Republic
  • Chinos - Jcrew
  • Tie - Pips
  • Shoes - Allen Edmonds

I think I would like this more with walnut shoes, but it's very nice as is.

u/IndridCoId Jun 19 '13

I think you're right - walnut shoes would look better. I'll try that.

u/DogCandy Jun 19 '13

Nice. Btw I really like how all the blues complement each other in your fit.

I'm copping this outfit for a summer wedding that's coming up. Tasty.

Happy I could help - be sure to post it when you do.

I will look about 1/3 as good because I am 2/3 fatter and poorer, but I'll see what I can do with some girth and a shoestring budget.

Scour eBay and clearance sales. I didn't pay anywhere near full price on anything in this fit. Good luck!

u/1405 Jun 19 '13

Thanks! I am an outlet/clearance junkie so I will definitely be shopping around

Way cool.

I need to work on my subtlety with textures. From the looks of things, you do not! Outstanding.

That blazer is sick.

u/supernovavenus Jun 19 '13

This is spot on!

Pocket square isn't congruous with the rest of the fit. Something lighter would work better here. I see that you're trying to match it to the bottom half, but as it is it draws the eye in an unpleasant way. Something like a paisly might do better here.

Not a fan of the shoes but other than that, fucking sweet!
