Dressing Better Vol 2.0

Yeah even what TypeR just posted would qualify. Nice fit and the denim jacket brings it all together. Plus everyone has some denim or blue. If you wanna encourage participation seems like it'd work.

Are you asking for suggestions for a theme or suggesting just textures and patterns? I don't understand the point of a contest but I would like to see a denim/shades of blue theme. Just cuz I love wearing denim/blue and its kind of winter themed.

Well, most of us work in a corp setting so denim is out. Personally I rarely wear denim. I also don't see how this is winter related. Pick wools or tweeds if you want to go that route. This isn't a contest. They never were. Bence brought up the idea of bringing challenges back. The idea was to encourage folks to post outfits, which was going so well in the thread before the trolling. Suggestions were always thrown out and we went with the popular.

idea came to me organizing my closet..i was like thats an UGLY shirt.. and i thought of an ugly shirt challenge.

It might not be my place since I'm not into participating (I think it's cool if y'all wanna do it) but if it's a challenge, isn't it a good idea of doing something out of your comfort zone rather than what you might wear regularly?  I get the denim thing because of work dress codes but I'd think you can throw something on after.

You're talking to a guy who wears jogger pants with pink Foams

Others may not want to do though. It doesn't matter much to me. I still take outfit pictures almost daily nonetheless.

Even the j crew style guide suggests it

Side note these pullover oxfords are pretty dope.

ive been wanting a popover for a while but can't find one with a flattering fit. may have to check these j crew ones out

It's getting harder and harder to avoid the clothing section at Target.

Love their graphic t's, mainly superhero t's, cotton/poly blend or tri-blend and they are usually $9.99.

They've stepped up their basics as well, love their Jockey line of undershirts. Like them better than the CK ones I rolled with before.

Impossible to find. It's like putting on a t shirt that doesn't stretch. I have one and liked it.

It seems new items are being added almost daily on Nordstrom's sale. I'm lurking.

Who wants to point me in the right direction of a higher quality version of this jacket? The obsidian color is sick but even at $40 I couldn't do it for what essentially amounts to a jacket made of plastic. I need wool and leather.

Look out for a medium Shipley and Halmos. I'm almost sure it'll be spit on for you. I copped one at Nordstrom at 65 percent off. It was like $225 or so.

Spit on? Is that your way of saying it'll look sleek on him?

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

If you have broad shoulders and a small waist, good luck getting into your size. I needed my girlfriend to get it over my shoulders, but once I had it on, it looked good.

Slim but not too tight.

It was the same issue getting it off as well.

 

[typerpinoy]

sounds like it wont work then. still will check it out if i see them in store though.

Straight from the slum of BKK, bruh.

auto correct on iPhone.

I'm tempted with the thought of getting a suit with trousers that have a larger leg opening, something like 8". Silhouette can be clean with a nice fitting shirt.

Pretty common occurrence for putting on a slim fitting popover. Once you're in, you're good. It's just getting on/off that can be comical.

We can do a theme for textures or patterns for next weeks challenge if cats are game. Would allow for a lot of ideas.

I'm down for this.

To add to this it also provides ideas/inspiration for outfit ideas.

can never have enough socks. picked up these cashmere blends for cheap

Donde?

This is why I passed on the Epaulet Blue Oxford Pullover couldn't even get it over my shoulders.

Someone please help me find a pair of all black high top Balenciaga Arenas in a sz 40!!! The lamb skin leather ones.

As soon as I'm ready to purchase, I can't track down a pair smh

Help your boy out!

Any advice or insight on how I can track down a pair would be appreciated.

You might have to make some calls. I don't see any sz 40s anywhere. Granted I only checked a few sites

Thanks for checking for me man. I really appreciate it.

After looking all day & scouring eBay, I ended up finding a pair a few minutes ago & pulled the trigger.

Everything look good to y'all? http://www.ebay.com/itm/181318420606?redirect=mobile
