Dressing Better Vol 2.0

[melofan15]

Just sent out my elf's package. How is everyone else doing?

Worried the USPS lost the package since they haven't updated the tracking at all, no update for yesterday at all.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Whenever I ship through USPS, sometimes days go by without any updates.

No.

@ dudes who never heard of carrot fit jeans, when most of them clamor for those sweatpants that look just like them.

Yes, looks like you can size down 2 easily. Shoulders too big, sleeves too long, etc.

What's the best quality derbies for under $600?

What is your aesthetic? You have so many great brands under this price range...Alden, Tricker's, Church, Alfred Sargent, Gucci, etc.

yeap, some black ones

 

[scarsorscabs]

No.

@ dudes who never heard of carrot fit jeans, when most of them clamor for those sweatpants that look just like them.

And they were mostly just referred to as tapered sweatpants...not "carrot fit". I'm ashamed of thinking it's a cheesy name.

I love my Rafs. Retail is about a grand but you can find them under 400. Got mine for 300.

At around $200, you have a wide selection. I would go check out some Cole Haan, Banana Republic, or something along the line. I skipped brands like AE on purpose since you don't want a formal pair.

Gucci's came in today:

wj4, I'm thinking of wearing the shoes with just white tee, jeans and leather jacket

Would something like https://www.google.com/search?q=alden+long+wing+color+8&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari#miuv=2 be too formal looking shoes?

And regarding the carrot fit talk, where do you guys find sweatpants like that? I know thom Browne has some slim sweatpants but can't really find many orther brands that has tapered sweatpants

 

[melofan15]

These guys can join our denim challenge!

These are clean fits..do you happen to know what jeans these are? particularly the ones on the right?

The guy in the middle is dressed warm except for him wearing those small loafers with no socks. Looks odd.

 

[ksteezy]

cleanest fit is the camel color one.

Looks okay, but the blazer looks alittle big

 

[jordanscrub]

No.

yup

 

[jordanscrub]

cleanest fit is the camel color one.

Agreed Steez. Nothing better than a Camel Peacoat

Go for shell cordovan, the material is uncanny. Historically, bluchers/derbies are casual shoes as oppose to balmorals/oxfords, which are formal shoes. To answer your question, no it would not be formal looking. Here is a picture from 2 years ago, shoes are Cigar Shell Cordovan Longwing Bluchers from Alden.

You can get those tapered sweatpants from the likes of Macy's, H&M, etc.

#8 is also a great choice for the shoes since it is a very versatile hue. I would either go for Longwing Bluchers or Plain toes.

I agree, but some folks rock the look. My man Matt of Epaulet doesn't wear socks even in the cold NYC winter.

This is why I got my peacoat in camel. The traditional choice is navy, but I always thought that was too bland for me. A close second was salt and pepper gray.
