Anyone know how thick this is?

Like what degrees would it be good for on its own?

got that unconstructed linen ludlow sportcoat. might have to return it. not feeling it as much as i thought i would. its a little longer than i would like.

It's quite long, I agree. I ended up keeping it since no tailoring is required. Good enough for summer wears.

Cool style, especially the loafers, but would have wore different shorts.


PS, that black dude looks just like little wayne without dreads

My opinion, shorts are fine, solid outfit. I would've gone with JP's or Sperry's with that fit.

I don't see the bowing of the lapel but I agree the sleeves are a little short, you can prob get away with it though.

Suggestion: If you're gonna ask how something fits, use a timer. Holding a phone or camera and taking a pic throws everything off.

More importantly, congrats again on the weight loss. Really impressive.

All of this.

Considered both. Should've gone with sperry's for the fact that the event turned into a party-party. Beer spills were had

What dress shoes do you guys wear with shorts in the summer?

I cant do boat shoes..

 

[typerpinoy]

Dress shoes I wouldn't do with shorts. Other non sneakers like loafers or bucks would be fine

So what kind of shirts is everyone looking to wear in the warmer months? Winter is a layup with blazers and buttonups, but I cant find any good summer wear besides vnecks.

I wouldn't, even though he pulled it off nicely. Loafers with shorts just give the "old man" vibe (for lack of better term). JP's, Sperry's, Free's, Vans, Flyknits, options are plenty if you don't want to go the sneaker route.

Gents, can anybody recommend decent heather grey v-neck undershirts?

You Can

With shorts, you can wear casual, Pumas, pradas, lacostes etc.

Today as the weather sucked more than Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian combined, had to go indoors for a picture:

Linen and Chambray are your best friends, or lightweight cotton.

I concur. White bucks are great for the summer. I also like bluchers.

 

[sarteaga0408]

Thanks! I've dropped another 1-2 inches in the waist and stomach but the chest is minimal, I know I won't drop much there due to broad shoulders but I need at least an inch on each side, just gotta keep at it!

I assumed you meant dressier shoes, than sneakers. So you are looking for insights on wearing oxfords with shorts?

I'm not, think someone else was.

Wearing shorts is a relaxed/casual look, it's hard to "dress better". Can you wear loafers? Yes, Bucks? Yes. However, there are more casual options that look just as nice.

Target's Mossimo v-necks are awesome. I've had two for about three years now and they've held up great. They're shallow, so if you're looking for a deep v-neck I wouldn't suggest them however.

Planes usually have a compartment to hang garment bags as well. Put your entire outfit in a garment bag and give it to a flight attendant to put it away for you. Look up your airline's policy on garment bags.

That's how I travel with suits.

talking about these.

Where's the best place to pick up one of these?

My go to v neck is American Apparel, there's so many options for cut and they are great quality.

Just out of curiosity which one do you buy?

I have one american apparel V neck and its just too short on me. Im 6 foot....bought a medium.
I'd really like to find a go to crew and v neck t shirt in colors for the summer. Hoping my J. Crew Factory T fits well so i can pick up some more for cheap.
