Clean fit Wes

I agree.

Red pants are not that hard to work in. I love them with striped and gingham shirts as well.

Yes they are wearing the same shirt, good eye, lol it is funny, a lot of NBA players must have the same stylists or shop at the same place!

Givenchy tees have become an NBA staple.

I'm not a huge fan of graphic tees under a blazer but some people can make it look good. I think a plain scoop/u neck looks much better.

Info on DB Blazer?

Is it wool or cotton?

Bottom button buttoned doe? Any chance this was solely to go with the vibe of the Gatsby movie? Or does Leo just not know better?

Why even have that bottom button on suits if people say you're not allowed to button it?

That's one of the things of GQ...they will excuse it because it is Leo and because everything else fits pretty well but Leo is known for buttoning that second button and it doesn't flatter him.

It's a wool and cashmere blend. It's part of a suit from Thick as Thieves.

Because it ruins the shape of the jacket. By not buttoning the last button, the jacket can freely drape around the wearer's body.

Historically, it's derived from King Edward VII in the early 1900's. He was so fat that he couldn't fasten the bottom button so those around him didn't button it other in an attempt not to offend him. Then the trend gradually spread worldwide.

Today, it's not fastened because suits are designed to flare away at the bottom, since the hips are (generally) broader than the waist, where a coat should be fastened. Modern suits are all cut with this in mind so the bottom button generally isn't used, as it throws off the tailoring of the suit and turns the wearer's silhouette into a cylinder.

Is fastening the last button part of his "style"? Never really noticed before but I'll go back and look. I also agree that it doesn't look good on him (or anyone else) but the fit is otherwise pretty good. If it were me, I would use less break on the trousers.

It's at least the third time that I see him do that in pictures. Actually I found a few...the last in particular looks great if it weren't buttoned.

Looks good! My only thing would be is that I would have lost the socks.

No break on the khakis would have been better + no socks ( are you wearing pantyhose [srs])

Also, does it seem like Leo has appearance issues, always got his hands in his pockets.

What kind of sunglasses to rock with these days? I havent upgraded in like 5 years. In lieu of the Tommy sale, I saw a pair wayfarers that looked ok:

Thoughts/options?

Dude just asked if he was wearing pantyhose

DB Thread has had the lulz the past few days

Doubt he is wearing pantyhose, although I partially see where you could think that. The fit is fine, but I would have worn different shoes.  Hands in the pocket is fine, nobody is modeling.

 

[al audi]

oliver peoples sunglasses right now for me

My ex girl was at the premier. She called me and told me she was 10 feet from Jay Z and Leo. She said Jay looked damn good and Leo's hair was looking nice.

Hi gray windowpane suit was off-the-hook. Really wondering who it's by.
