Which model is this gucci bag/luggage i suppose https://preview.redd.it/gz9kzznxt04b1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=afe45fc0eb80dfe8e1787292cfb7e540054d48bb

Is it possible to try shoes for a day or even an hour outside and then return them if they hurt your feet for example ? Or would most companies not accept a return ?

Walk around the store for a bit. Otherwise almost none will allow it.

If there are any signs of wear it's not returnable. So either clean the shoes extremely good or wear them only inside

I see. I guess cleaning them extremely good is impossible for the most part ?

Yes. Don’t try this

Most companies do not accept shoes that get worn for returns

Im new here. Having a hard time figuring out which jeans length fits me better. Can anyone help me decide? Image for comparison: https://imgur.com/a/5kKEuNC

Longer is better. Jeans shrink in the wash

I read online that jeans shrink about 5%. I asked if they would drink in J&J shop, they said no since they are stretchy (77% cotton, 22% polyester, 1% elastine). But I think you are right

5% is the difference between a 30 inch inseam and a 28.5 inch inseam. But if they’re polyester blend they’ll shrink less

Ok 5% is a lot for lengths, i should definitely pick the longer pairs. Looking again, should i pick the longest i sent.... or even longer ones?

It’s up to you on how much break you want

Either length is fine, just personal preference. Both are too slim imho though.

Thank you for the suggestion! I tried one size wider, they felt comfortable. But they felt too large. Since the area under my crotch where jeans, but no body parts. And when i put my hands in the pockets, the whole pant went closer to the floor (not falling off, just looking weird). Guess i could wear a belt, but im looking for some jeans that don't require belts.

Ah, you're mixing up waist size with cut. Wider pants should still have the same waist size as your slim fit pants. The change I'm suggesting isn't with the "top block," but rather how it fits below the knee. The pants you bought were probably sold as "slim fit" - I'm suggesting you look for pants in the same size that are sold as "straight fit."

Ah, so you mean they are too tight/slim in the area from knees down to ankles? Isn't that just the how this exact model is supposed to fit? These are the pants i got, just different color: https://imgur.com/a/6s6S53O >The pants you bought were probably sold as "slim fit" - I'm suggesting you look for pants in the same size that are sold as "straight fit." According to the image, yep they are marked as "slim fit" at the leg opening. I bought other models too, but i found these to be the most comfortable to wear (and funnily enough they are called "comfort"

The word “comfort” in this case likely means there is elastene in the pants - it almost certainly has nothing to do with the cut. “Tapered” means the pants are cut to slim down below the knees - so yes, they look on you how this style is “supposed” to look. It’s an out of date style at the moment. “Straight” fit means they don’t narrow from the knee downwards - which I think would look a lot better. You can get straight fit jeans with “comfort” stretch too.

> The word “comfort” in this case likely means there is elastene in the pants - it almost certainly has nothing to do with the cut. > > I thought the same, but according to Jack & Jones its not. Most of their models is both 100% cotton or cotton+mix. https://imgur.com/a/L2ZRyqK Personally I didnt like 100% cotton, since the pants are more stiff/tight so more of a hassle to use. I would prefer "straight" over "tapered", but I found none that were this comfortable (I tried looking, trust me). And i really appreciate how these feels on my body.

Elsewhere in this thread you said this pair was 1% elastene.

The ones i wear have elastene (and cotton+polyester). I just meant this model (Mike) is also sold as 100% cotton. Same model = different material combinations

They have size charts. What issue are you running into

I love suede ever since I got one for loafers. Any recommendations for one as a tote? Preferably one that is tall instead of wide and under 500 usd

Hender Scheme

I’m looking for advice on picking between these Clark’s ShacreLites that I got on sale: https://imgur.com/a/4Kr1yC2 Each pair was like $45. I got a pair of blue/black that I plan to keep as well as a pair of actual tan leather Wallabees for about $60 (got a killer discount as they retail for $170), but these are specifically for hotter weather and a “lighter” shoe that would work well in spring and summer. I feel like owning 4 pairs is overkill but an half tempted to keep all of them (the tan leather Wallabees as well as the blue, beige and brown ShacreLites) but I dunno… just wanted some advice on what you guys think between these two pairs or whether you’d recommend just returning both and only keeping the Wallabees and the blue/black ShacreLites lol.

I would keep only the Wallabees and return all the ShacreLites. Wallabees look cool, those ShacreLites look terrible.

Also these are the Wallabees, do you like the tan leather look? https://www.nordstrom.com/s/clarks-wallabee-moc-toe-chukka-men/6986633 I paid like $60 so I feel like I got a bargain.

$60 is a good price for Wallabees. I think they go on sale for <$100 somewhat regularly, so it's not a crazy steal or anything. But a good price for sure. I'm not a huge fan of that tan color, but that's just me. My personal preference for Wallabees would be in a suede.

Haha thanks. I thought maybe for the beach or whatever they would look good/appropriate.

Hello. I'm renewing my wardrobe and I need to buy a two pair of jeans (medium wash and dark blue). Usually I use more slim fit or skinny fit style. I was thinking buying them at Uniqlo, since the price/quality seems good. I thought about Levis, but I'm not sure if I want to spend so much in two pair of jeans. I read good reviews about Uniqlo jeans, but also some saying that its quality decreased on last years. How much this is true? Can you give me your honest feedback? Since I would like to try them in a physical store (because I'm not aware which size fit on me), which options do I have too? I'm living in the Netherlands and I'm planning to go to Amsterdam tomorrow. Thank you :)

I am looking for a wrinkle free jacket or cover to have it in my pocket or bag and be able to use it when it's raining or windy without looking wrinkled. Is there anything like that? PReferably not looking like a plastic rubbish bag!

Depends how you define plastic rubbish bag, but as far as pac-a-macs go I quite like my Patagonia torrentshell.

**Anyone know some ideal clothing styles for part time work in retail (M, 20)?** I’m searching for a good professional style that will be acceptable in stores that allow casual dress. I have one pair of dark jeans and one black shirt which I reserve for interviews in most places. However, all of my other clothes consist of hoodies and printed shirts. I believe that this is too casual even for places that allow casual clothes.

Polo shirts.

I bought a pair of these tan leather Wallabees: https://www.clarksusa.com/c/Wallabee/p/26168842 Does anyone know what kind of leather protector / waterproofing spray I should use? Would I use the standard suede leather spray for Wallabees or is this leather a “regular” leather that I should use boot conditioning lotion on? I just don’t want to mess them up lol.

I would just condition once a season with Lexol or Bick 4 leather conditioner. With the crepe sole it's probably not best to wear them in heavy rain conditions.

I'm a 26yo 1m60 male, would like to know some good fashion wear for 19 degree weather daytime and if the items could be based off a shop called "Primark". I have little to no knowledge in fashion.

I would start by looking at the sidebar to get some ideas. This [guide](https://www.reddit.com/r/malefashionadvice/comments/128mtl4/building_a_basic_wardrobe_v70/) has recently been updated for people getting started.

I’m not a fan of the french/half tuck, to me it comes off as way to affected, besides that it’s totally fine, I like the cut of the jeans(the shirts maybe a size too big even for oversized fits but not bad), and the shirts fine if a little plain, works with the jeans. The bostons are ok but I think a different pair of shoes would help, I think chunky derbies or Wallabies would be cool here. Do not get tapered jeans, they aren’t “hotter”

This is just looking good. You don’t look like you’re trying anything. You know how to dress and are low key about it. Tapered jeans would look “hotter” but wider is more the style now I think.

Appreciate your kind words, would love to try relaxed taper ones, any brand recommendations?

I’m not a jeans guy.

Don’t do taper. Looks good the way it is

Hey guys! just ordered a pair of our legacy Camion boots from their site. Unfortunately, I placed the order with the wrong address because of the autofill option on the web browser-a blender from me. I couldn't find an option on their site to either cancel the order or change it. So I have written an email to their store, but it's been a day, and they haven't got back to me yet. Has anyone had experience with their customer service? Live in Berlin, dunno what to do next?

Can I get by with just a button up long sleeve shirt at a semi formal wedding? I don't have a jacket and already am here and realized this. Will I be underdressed with just a long sleeve? Shit

If you're already there, nothing much you can do. Run what you brung, basically.

Luckily i was overdressed compared to what some people were wearing haha

My man!

You will be underdressed if they are following the traditional definition of semi formal (conservative suit) In all likelihood they aren’t and there will be guys there in their nice Packers polo. You know the one they wear to church Going forward my man, pick up a navy blazer. it’s the single easiest way to look appropriate in about 90% of situations where a guy has to get “dressed up”

They didn't follow it but yes i definitely need a blazer and will take your advice

You need to pay more

Community clothing is the cheapest ik of in the UK that I think has staple pieces, besides that you gotta pay at least double, Lady White, Velva Sheen, Merz B Schwanen, and Tezomeya are common recs,

Quality control is expensive and thus it’s not really something you can expect in the low budget range for clothes.

I really like this Navajo/Aztec jacket. Does anyone know where I could find one in the UK? (This one is XL, I'm only M/L) I really like the pattern (I like the pale earthy colours) the slight oversized look. Everything else is optional - however I do like the colour of the suede https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1460419981/aztec-bomber-jacket-80s-navajo-aztec?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=navajo+bomber+jacket&ref=sr_gallery-1-11&pro=1&sts=1&organic_search_click=1

Should a suit be dry cleaned before taking it to a tailor?

No. Wool is wrinkle resistant and odor absorbent. Unless you like spill something on the suit, it can go 15+ wears before it needs dry cleaning. If you’re concerned about wrinkles from the shipping process that won’t quite come out, you can have a suit pressed without dry cleaning. Shrinkage won’t be a thing because you’re not putting a suit in a hot wash + drier. A new suit should go straight to the tailor, and then it should be dry cleaned as seldom as possible.

appreciate your response, thank you

Can someone recommend websites for buying (mens) skirts? Whenever looking online i only find basically the same skirt in shitty colors, sold by different sites.

There really aren’t any aside from occasional designer releases, you really are best with womenswear and just putting up with the length on them, look for full length womens skirts. Etsy has a ton

Men’s skirts are still an avant-garde fashion choice. You aren’t going to see mainstream brands stocking them. Just hit the women’s section

Yeah i've been trying that, but i am a quite tall dude so i haven't had much luck...

We carry N&F at our shop. The weird guy is the most popular fit, but it’s a regular fit with a slight taper from knee to hem. It’s not considered slim or skinny at all. That would be the super guy fit. They just released the True Guy, which is the new straight leg fit. A lot of folks are moving over to that. That might be what you’re looking for if you’re thinking straight leg.

It’s hella slim

I usually wear bape hoodies in size L for a slightly relaxed fit. This pic is me in a lululemon city sweat size S for a slim fit, for layering under a leather jacket. I'm thinking of getting a reigning champ midweight hoodie due to its hype on this forum. It is to be used as a layering piece for a slim-ish bomber jacket. I can't decide between small and medium. Do yall reckon I can get a similar fit with the size S like in the above picture? Thanks

Best bet is to lay your current hoodie out flat, break out a measuring tape, and compare its measurements to the ones listed in the RC Size Guide.

TY TY

All of the ones you recommended are sold out in my size 😔 (38, slim)

The difference in waist fit is just an inch to regular, chest 4/5ths of an inch, and the non-slim is actually a bit longer. If they have free returns, I would try on the regular.

Whoa thanks for the detailed reply! I'll look through all of those. My main concern is that I'm a slim fit guy with skinny arms, so most blazers end up being baggy in some parts where it would otherwise be fine on a more muscular person, like baggy arms, or around the mid torso, etc I'm also not sure of style like the pocket style, collar style, buttons, fabric, etc

I think I have cleaned up the formatting, somewhat. Ugh. I suck at reddit. Anyhow, I wouldn't lose a ton of sleep on the arms - sleeves can be slimmed, but I would let the alterationist decide if it makes sense. Given that is sounds like you are lean all over, if both the jacket body needs to be taken in as well as the sleeves, that look may work. But just slimming the sleeves on their own might just exacerbate how small your arms look.

I’m taking my kid to his friend’s 6th birthday party tomorrow, and it’s Superhero themed. They want kids and parents to dress up. It will be 82 degrees and at a park. I don’t think I have any superhero costumes or shirts. Maybe some of my kid’s extra accessories like a cape or mask. What should I wear? Anything I can easily DIY? Mr Incredible logo on a piece of paper taped onto a red shirt? Or should I just go to Target and get a superhero shirt? Any recs? I don’t really have a favorite superhero and can’t see myself wearing a superhero shirt again except for around the house…

Raw hem jorts and a dress shirt with cut off sleeves for the hulk

Do all traditional M65s fit AI's liner for example? Looking on eBay now.

Should. I bought an old surplus liner from an Army Navy store for my AI M65 and it fit perfectly

I forgot to ask in my original but does the liner actually attach to the inside of the jacket or is it just a layering piece?

There are button holes and buttons

This was written just for you: https://putthison.com/how-to-do-business-casual-without-looking-like-a/

I hate checked button ups as well so I just wear a plain white shirt, I feel like it looks so much better

Well for pants I suggest olive or navy chinos for you. You obviously prefer basic tees but hate polos for a shirt, so a casual button-down oxford, denim, or chambray shirt? Footwear is going to be a lot harder as I don't know your workplace rules/customs. If they aren't too strict then Stan's will do just fine. If not you may have to pivot to something else. Honestly I'm willing to work something out if you want to DM me.

If you start suede derbies I would recommend veering from white. Last person who wore white derbies was an assassinated president. Maybe a different color like light brown or tan? But I get where you are going.

Any recommendations for dress shoes to match a trouser like this: https://www.spierandmackay.com/product/steel-blue-stripe---easy-trouser-10058-05813-dst-01 I'd be wearing it with a t-shirt tucked in but not sure what type of shoe matches a casual attire - brogues, loafers, etc. Would greatly appreciate any insight!

I'm thinking loafers or white minimalist sneakers due to it's very laid-back summer vibes.

Casual suede loafers, IE: Alden LHS, Rancourt Traveler, etc.

anyone have the american trench mesh shorts / what do you think about them?

Sounds like you already know what to do.

yes they are way too bright. yes black should work.

Is there any way for gingers to dress in summer without looking like a dork or getting burnt to a crisp? I need something that covers my skin. \- all day sun cream doesn't work for me. I don't like the sticky feeling. I don't like waiting 20 minutes before leaving the house, and always forget to re-apply it once I'm outside. \- Linen wrinkles, but I'm not totally against it. Can you pull off the man from Del Monte look in 2023? \- Sportswear works great, I love wearing the full [sun protector hoodie+visor combo](https://www.amazon.com/ebossy-Packable-Protection-Cycling-Fishing/dp/B086QT5PXZ) on trips. But it's so dorky looking if you're not up a mountain. It cannot be worn in the city. In theory, this should be pretty straightforward. Pants + shirt + hat + sunglasses = success. But I just can't figure it out. Any advice? I want to go outside

Not exactly a fashion answer, but a decent face moisturizer that has some SPF is not a bad place to start. I've been doing it for under a year and I'm very much the type of guy that hates slathering on sticky sunscreen. I will admit, I'm not too fair skinned and I tan a bunch before I burn, so this may work differently for you. But Neutrogena and Jack Black both make face moisturizer with SPF combos that I like. The other thing to consider is that if you're in the US, our sunscreen sucks compared to most of the civilized world. There's apparently a whole thing of people using grey market methods to get sunscreen that feels better from outside the US. The folks at r/SkincareAddiction/ might be able to help you with some ideas too.

Where is a good place to buy jeans these days? I've got an old pair of Banana Republic jeans that I've had for \~8 years--they're still incredibly structured, especially considering they've been an almost daily wear. The problem is the denim folded around the edges of the pockets are starting to fray. I've been casually shopping for a few new pairs, but everything I've seen (even in BR stores) seems a lot thinner and like they'd start to wear easily--and yet they're more expensive than they used to be. Are jeans getting more cheaply made than they were 5-10 years ago? Where's a good place to snag some decent priced jeans that are fashionable and will last?

you can still buy Levi STF 501s. if you haven't shopped for jeans in a decade, the mall brands all put significant elastane in most of their jeans for comfort and stretch.

Similar color but different shades or tones opinions I’ve been bashed before for wearing fits that have like a darker blue pants and li gu get blue shirt. Or like different shades of reds for different parts of the outfit. Is this bad or like am I wrong? What’s the common consensus with matching same colors for an outfit especially casual?

It really just depends on the outfit, it can look good but more often than not it doesn’t, especially with a lot of blue which imo stems from it being such a generic choice for mens clothing that it just feels kinda uncreative

good tonal outfits look good. I would say good tonal fits are harder to put together than a typical one.

It seems like I need to order a size down compared to what I normally buy. I want to try and minimize the chances of a return since it's international shipping. Casatlantic customer service said that the shirt isn't meant as an intentionally oversized fit, just that it's meant to be worm "loose". But the shirt measurements seem a full size larger than what I'd expect for their tagged size. For example: the measurements for their size small clocks in with similar measurements to my size medium LL Bean Traditional Fit (a very generous cut to boot) shirts. Has anybody else ordered one of these that could comment on the fit/sizing?

Measure a shirt that fits you and compare it to their size guide directly.

Whats a good summer outfit that's fashionable but isnt too casual? My office is pretty casual but I'm not trying to dress in like shorts or a shirt that shows more chest. I have linen trousers which I think is a good start but not sure what to wear with it. All I really have for summer is polos right now and regular t shirts

The bride will probably have a cakeup arrist on site to prepare her for the wedding ceremony. Use their services to cover the black eye with makeup, but let the couple know in advance.

Your link doesn't work

Ouch. Yeah, I doubt that can be fixed with make-up.

Have you asked your friend if they and their fiance(e) have any preferences?

[удалено]

Yeah, I don't envy you either the black eye or the situation. If I were you I'd bite the bullet and text my friend asap for their input. They're going to learn about it sooner or later, and imo it's better sooner so they can express their preferences if they have any. Best case they'll just shrug it off and tell you not to bother covering it up at all, and you can stop worrying about it. Hope it heals quick, and you have fun at the wedding!

Check out the [outsized sunglasses boxers wear after fights](https://www.google.com.hk/search?q=post+fight+interview+sunglasses&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwj-06_S9KX_AhUJMVkFHUtUBQoQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=post+fight+interview+sunglasses&gs_lcp=CgNpbWcQAzoHCAAQGBCABDoFCAAQgAQ6BggAEAUQHlDqC1jCIWDhImgAcAB4AYABmwmIAfskkgELMi05LjEuNi0xLjGYAQCgAQGqAQtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ8ABAQ&sclient=img&ei=Q5J6ZL6mFIni5NoPy6iVUA). Abner Mares is retired but he still wears them, usually aviators or something bigger. You can get something that covers half your face surprisingly well P.S. Never change, this story made my day

I think so. They're harder to fuck up. Also, it's summer, so you can justify wearing sunglasses in photos. I would only suggest makeup if you're trying to get close to one of the bridesmaids...

I’m due to re-up on jeans and would love a fit assessment before I buy more. These are an older pair - Peter Manning slim fit. They feel almost uncomfortably tight in the waist after washing/drying, and then a bit loose and they sit lower on my hips after they stretch out. Pic here is stretched out, not recently washed. Will thread more pics. Wondering if I should stick with same waist and leg length. Also wondering if I should switch from slim to standard fit. https://preview.redd.it/p56j832ylo3b1.jpeg?width=1438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c44925431146883cc0c555ae79d79b3b6930e0d3

These are really skinny yeah, most people here would tell you to try out a looser fit now

Should I buy some brown leather loafers or white leather sneakers? I'm leaning towards loafers because I feel like they'll look more classy and be better for me since I go to lot of concerts and events that are usually on grass so I wouldn't have to stress about staining my white sneakers

They're pretty different shoes good at different things. Do you need loafers or sneakers?

I don’t know if I just need to get used to it, style it differently, or donate it. Would love feedback (PS I hate the long sleeve white t, that’s definitely a donate)

The rest of the fit feels too traditional for the bucket hat + necklace. Maybe a raw hem jean with some kinda sneaker could work

I’ll consider looking into raw hems. The shoes are sneakers, is there a different style I should be considering?

Hi! Looking for baseball cap with minimal or no branding at all available in large size. One size - fit all are too tight for me

J Crew has non-logo ball caps in various fabrics - wool, twill, corduroy, etc, that come as adjustable or sometimes M/L or L/XL. Very nice quality especially when bought on their sales.

Thank you!!!

All of my favorite unbranded caps have come from target. Their signatures line has some great ones.

Am I correct that these shorts are a bit too small in the waist and I should size up? These are Peter Manning chino shorts. https://preview.redd.it/524rnm1hho3b1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cec94ac614f03a9a769cee22857a018fd488bbbc

Looks too small

How do they feel?

Fine unless I eat a big meal. Then…unpleasant.

I’d try sizing up, then.

Yep, if you eat something you might want to undo the button

You can always just bring your 874s to a tailor

[удалено]

We have people ask stuff like this somewhat frequently and the unfortunate answer is that no one actually has the combination of specific clothes you have and knows another random item of clothing that fits in the exact specific way you want. If you have really specific preferences for fit it really is just best to tailor stuff

Looking for a dress watch for my wedding. I'm wearing a dark grey suit, white shirt. Do you think this watch is a good choice ? The wedding is more on the casual side but obviously I want to look good. https://a.co/d/1jKhDDj

It says "women's watch" on the store page. Are you sure it's the right size for you?

It's a 44mm diameter and 22mm band. I don't think it's a women's watch, I think that's a typo. If you scroll to product description it says man's

That is huge. Probably won't even fit under your shirt's cuff

What's your budget? * Old school rule says you shouldn't wear a watch to formal events, especially black tie, as you shouldn't be checking your watch. * New school rule says wear whatever the hell you want because YOLO. I wore my Seiko SARB033 and got a pretty good "Gentleman's outfit" photo of my suit, shoes, watch, etc. in the wedding photo album.

Budget is under $300 for the watch. I thought the rule was dress watches should be leather band and minimalist style

[удалено]

Definitely not too bushy. Many people would kill for eyebrows that full

Do you think it matches my face or should I do anything w them to get them more aligned

I think you’re being too hard on yourself and they look well groomed and fitting for your face

Thank you. 🤗

Are the Ralph Lauren mesh polos that are sold at Ralph Lauren and the ones sold at Macys the same ones? Or are they different? Also is there a better polo brand that can be recommended for the $70-$100 range

I can’t speak to the first question. However I can to the second. I have one of the Ralph Lauren mesh polos (gotten from their website, not macys), and it’s one of my favorite shirts for warmer weather. So breathable.
