Bottoms

Wardrobe upgrade suggestions - Pants and Jackets
Hi all, trying to understand how I can upgrade my plain vanilla wardrobe that works in office and casual situations. I am in my mid 30s, work where polos and jeans with sneakers is an acceptable attire, and that's what I've been wearing as well.
I've already gone through this guide and some general search as well. https://malefashionadvice.substack.com/p/building-a-basic-wardrobe-v70
I could be approaching it in a totally wrong way, and might end up asking too many things in one post, so will post separate questions if a single post doesn't do justice to the range of queries....
Proper fit for a new (i.e. unwashed) polo shirt
How a polo shirt is supposed to fit eludes me a little sometimes, specially with avoiding droopy shoulders. Which of this is closest to fitting? (First is L and second is XL. Aside from the undershirt of course, also I know you can’t see the chest quite as well in the second)

Levi's Sherpa Jacket
I saw this on an Iron Snail video and really like it. Can I wear this with Eddie Bauer tech pants or LL Bean dress pants/khakis?
Looking for thoughts...shoes will be boots. Thanks in advance....

Advice on hairstyle
I’m gonna grow my hair out which hairstyle do y’all think would look better on me? I have fine straight hair. Think the first (picture 3/4) or second one (picture 5) would work better for me?

Lady White T-Shirts: What really makes a T-Shirt worth this much money?
Evening folks, I'm starting to get into my prime basic fit (jeans and a tshirt) and since I have a LITTLE MORE disposable income as an adult, I started watching videos that eventually led me down to what the Iron Snail calls more or less a 'perfect tshirt'
https://ladywhiteco.com/products/our-t-shirt-2-pack-black-white
I've never heard of Lady White, or any specialty tshirt brand, but after learning about these shirts I decided to go and get one off the used market for about $50. In malls, tops can cost more than $100 easy, but I'm not into fast fashion and I tend to worry over anything I buy that is more than $100 bucks....
Anyone know Geobasket sizing?
I’ve been trying to pick up a pair of Oreo short tongues for ages and there’s currently a pair available in a 9, my ramones are a 10 and my sock runners are a 9.5 and both fit mostly perfectly but maybe a quarter size too big, is there a chance the geos would fit or should I hold out for a 9.5 or 10?
Is this suit noticeably small?
Is this suit jacket noticeably small? My shoulders have broadened a lot since I purchased it and wondered if I can get away with it for an event.

black summer tailoring
howdy
I just bought concert tickets for days from mid may in nyc to late august in phoenix. the “dress code” for the artist is “formal black attire expected” as the concert is funeral themed. i want to cunt it up and not overheat, so i was thinking flowey/ lightweight black tailoring with a black tank top and jewelry, or something vaguely cunty but unique enough to stand out. budget <200$, but i have unique measurements (42l, 33 waist) so idek. any tips? big fan of 90s armani but i think thats out of my price range...
Allen Edmond Grayson Loafers Sizing
hey gang, looking to get a pair of loafers off of eBay, but have no clue about Allen Edmonds sizing and I’m unable to go to a store that sells Allen Edmonds.
I’m an 11.5 in sneakers, and would love to know anyone else’s experiences with the Grayson loafers!!!...
Linen-Silk Suit, Summer Wedding
Howdy. I’m having a suit made for a summer wedding. Dress code is Summer Semi-Formal. I’m leaning towards the linen-silk blend in the pictures. Jacket would be unstructured, single breasted, peak lapel. Probably no pleat in the pants due to wrinkling. It’s an international wedding so I will have to travel with the suit. Besides wrinkling, my other concern with the fabric is the shininess. Could this read as too formal and clash with the semi-formal/casual nature of of the other suit elements?

Shoes for backyard wedding
Hey all - getting married in August, picked the suit and watch and all that but not sure which shoes to go with. Originally was shooting for a nice dark brown double monk (still a possibility) but would have to go made to order locally as options are either $100 and garbage or $1300 so no thanks. Wedding is outside/backyard and climate will be rather warm. Thoughts/odeas? Stick with the monk or go more Oxford or loafer or something? Overall fairly casual.
Pics of suit: (I’m doing a wide notch lapel though not peak)...

Canvas shoes
I'm looking for some canvas shoes that will go with this outfit. Ideally with no leather because I'm not a fan. Any ideas?
Alternative to the Stussy Lazy tee? I have heard the quality is not good, not sure if anyone has exp
I’m looking for some high quality t shirts and I heard these were nice, but upon looking at reviews on Reddit I’m not so sure.

Sizing on Vinted
I was wondering, the sizes on Vinted are based on European sizing right?
So for example a size 52 suit jacket would be a size 42 for Ireland/UK?...
Fitting and suit pants
I am looking to get into more formal wear and I want to start by getting into more trouser styles. I have a very large behind and thighs as well, this makes majority of the slim fitting suit pants impossible to fit. So what fit would you recommend for off the shelf purchases? Along with this question, would you guys recommend slightly tapering the pants if it’s too wide even if it has pleats? I bought a pair of trousers online that are too long and wide, cutting them down to length won’t be a problem but I fear tapering them might look weird. I could also send a photo of the pants if anyone needs?
Thank you guys so much!!...
