Can someone whos 5'7 pull of a long coat
Whats everyones opinion on someone who's 5'7 wearing long coats like the one in the image can it look bad as I've heard it can look like the coat is drowning you but then others say it makes you look more elongated if worn correctly so im abit confused.
Recs for a wider black trouser / slacks?
Heyo, on the hunt for a new pair of black trousers (preferably a polyester / lighter material) after my shinya order got cancelled. For the longest time I was rocking a pair of Acne trousers but unfortunately I effed em up in the washing machine lol. Preferably on the wider side, ultimately just want them straight legged. Opened to any sort of interesting pleating, detailing, etc. :P
What shoe polish for Grant Stone loafers in color #8?
Hey everyone, I've got some relatively new loafers from Grant Stone in #8 chromexcel. I know Saphir makes an actual #8 cream for shell cordovan, but my dad told me that back in the day they'd use black polish on cordovan shoes, deepening the red/burgundy color that it starts as. I'm also wondering if these #8s from Grant Stone is not as dark as say Alden cordovan No. 8, which at least on Alden's website looks significantly darker, almost black.
Shirt-Pant-Shoe Interactiom
Wore the Harvesty Wide pants (https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1135916565183856660/1295931592232927273 pictured left) today to gauge if they're viable for anything beyond wearing over other pants, and this is what I managed. Because of their long rise and short inseam vs my long pelvis and long legs, intentionally cropped fits felt like the best move (and even then, the pants are fairly low on the hip)
I don't feel great about this, and in part because I think the easy way to resolve those feelings is "wear a normal length pair of pants" and/or "wear no vest" which imo both make this a fundamentally different fit, but I'm prone to malding so I figured I'd throw it to the wolves.

Break question
Hi I recently got my pants hemmed to 28 after getting measured, I haven't washed these so wondering if these will shrink to fit better. are these considered full break? Shall I have it hemmed a bit more?
Styling feedback: corduroy jacket, trousers
So today I tried to emulate another POPEYE style, this time this casual image. I didn't have exactly that brown jacket but I did have a button-on shirt that I felt matched the vibe. I also used a pair of Levi's 502 trousers which I felt closely matched the silhouette here.
What works here and what doesn't?...
Monk straps vs Oxfords?
I'm thinking of buying these brown monk straps, are they good enough as dress shoes or should I look for a pair of oxfords?
