Dressing Better Vol 2.0

ksteezy-which H&M did you buy those sweatpants you posted a bit back at?

The UES H&M is a couple of blocks away from where I live but I couldn't find the sweatpants there today. Place is always a mess

Stopped by my Target to pick up some things and tried on the Thom Browne blazer. It fit horribly, the L was mad small and way too slim fitting, and the XL was HUGE.

Anyone got any tips for the best way to wash raw denim for the first time? Finally got a new pair of 1969 selvages to replace my pair from last year and I'm pretty sure my pair from last year is gonna' have some pretty sweet prints/indents/marking. I remember there being a great tutorial video. I think it was in Vol. 1

So my tuxedo came in today. Let me know what needs to be done to it. Its hard to judge without shoes and I still need to order studs, braces, and a bowtie

But straight off the back, I feel like the jacket can be taken in a bit. Moms, sister, and girl said it's fine but I'll trust y'alls opinion more than their's lol

Wis, do I see a man bag or is that a portfolio of some sort. I'm currently looking for a cross body

It's my little pouch that I use to carry my 2 cell phones and camera. Sometimes I want a crossbody too because of all the crap I lug around.

Bro, I found the most awesome bag/backpack to replace your pouch. The skull bag!

You need 3 for complete awesomeness!

I want to see how they'll look with shoes before I get them hemmed. The pants could stand to be slimmed though,

Suppress waist is referring to the jacket right?

From NYE. I had to get one of the hotel staff to tie that bowtie for me

Agreed. Then again, pant length is a matter of preference and I prefer no break..

Here's the rest of the Target x Neiman Marcus collection at 70% off.
http://www.target.com/c/target-neiman-marcus-collection/-/N-5ouwb

Looked for this at my local but couldn't find them. Are they in a separate section than the rest of the men's clothes?

Re: college students and AEs. They go on sale often at many places. You can also go to places like Nordstrom Rack to find them. With rising prices of sneakers now a day, making the transition is not that big financially, ex: $185 retro xi to on sale AEs that would cost $50 or less more.

Yep, the jacket.

I agree with what was posted. Shoulders & sleeves look good. Depending on how much room you have in the jacket, waist suppression would make it fit better and give it a little more shape in the body. Looking at the profile, you can see how it falls in the back and how much extra fabric there is. Not bad overall though.

RFX: info on the skull bag?

At the 2 Targets I've gone to, the Neiman collection had their own space and were not in the men's section.

Yeah, my Target just has a full Neiman Marcus section in the front by the womens clothing. The mens items were there too.

What does "suppress" the jacket mean

Ok... so many of ya'll may NOT remember, but I came in here a couple months ago about my dud and his fashion game.
Well! There has been some improvements made, and not just because I took him shopping or bought it for him He's been on some sites buying stuff for himself. I told him about my 'blackgirlwhitegirl' swag (don't ask, it's just a joke I started after Young Dro and Yung LA started their thing ) But he was curious and wanted to know how he can kinda add a street wear element to his wardrobe.
Not like rocking graphic Tees and wearings Jordans/sneakers... but mainly how he wears his jeans with boots , layering, etc. He seemed serious so I told him I'd give him some blogs to kinda help him out.
We've def made a lot of progress and it's pretty awesome

Them skull bags

I recently saw my boy with a coat with leather sleeves he told me that he got it from zara a couple of months back . I have checked the website and they no longer have the coat. Does anyone know where i can find an over coat with leather sleeves. I am also trying to find a nice leather jacket, a style with alot of zippers. Any suggestions?

to take in.

Take the blazer in at the waist, so that the jacket doesn't fall like a sack, but rather, hugs the torso a bit. This gives the illusion that the wearer is not a fat slob.

First thing that came to my mind.

Yep. Like stated, take in. Rule of thumb is that if you can fit your fist into your jacket...it's too loose.

 

[BranchLifestyle]

General fit guidelines I like to follow for suits.

I thought if you could fit one fist then you'd be alright.
