Secondhand high rise dress trousers?

What brands do you recommend? I’ve looked at Vintage Polo Ralph Lauren so far, what else is out there ? Budget <$100...

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. Is this:...

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?

Is this hoodie too big?

Or is it just right? I don’t necessarily want or need an oversized look, but I want to feel comfortable while still looking somewhat presentable. TIA https://imgur.com/a/8fqvgPm...

Flexible or Breathable Suit Jacket for Musicians

I often need to wear a black suit of some sort while I perform as a vocalist or drummer. I'd love to have a jacket that looks "good enough" from stage that is both comfortable/flexible to move around in and breathable to help with the heat of stage lighting. Sweating a ton and performing and moving around in a suit jacket means this thing is going to get beat up - I can't afford to dry clean regularly. Just looking for something that'll look solid, try and keep me cool, but not blow the bank. This would be used for nothing else. Thinking function over fashion. Budget: <$100 (up to $200 if truly worth it for the long haul)...

Alternatives to Dickies 873 that sit at the waist (UK)

Hi folks, I'm looking for some slim or tapered chinos that have a similar silhouette as the Dickies 873, however that would sit at the waist, more like the classic 874. No matter where I look, most slim/tapered chinos appear to sit closer to the hips, which I think looks a bit odd if you're wearing them at work with your shirt tucked in (as I would be)....

Is corduroy supposed to be this fragile?

I got some corduroy chinos from Levi's but after wearing them for two non consecutive weeks, my phone seems to have completely wiped out the wales and caused an unsightly "stain". I cannot return these and so I am now wondering if it was just bad luck and I should get new ones or if this means it's bad quality. It's not so much about the money but that they fit me so well.

Bag Alternatives

Hi all, Know the general feeling about supporting Thursday Boots here and happen to agree, but got into them before I knew. Most items I've been interested in I've been easily able to find comparable alternatives but this piece is proving challenging. https://thursdayboots.com/products/mens-commuter-messenger-bag-old-english ...

Relaxed Button Ups for University

So I've read the first part on How To Breathe and I thought it would be good to get some relaxed button ups that allow me to move freely. Budget: Up to £100. Location: UK. I would prefer to try in person, if possible. Timescale: I can wait....

Can we discuss the value proposition of Luxire and alternatives?

I have ordered from Luxire before (trousers only) and had good experienes so far. However, for named mill fabrics, eg. Minnis flannel, the prices seem to be very high. What do we think of Luxire's value in this regard? How about alternatives?

How well do these jeans fit

Hey all, I've been trying to get into fashion more and I'm trying to figure out my measurements so I can order stuff online (I'm not really close to a big city where I can try stuff on). I think this is my best fitting pair of jeans. They are Levis 511 28W 30L. Do they fit me well enough to base measurements off of them? Also I plan on getting straight fit jeans when I order some more pants, do some of the pant measurements like thigh measurements change depending on the fit or are they usually...

What shoes work with these?

I'm loving these two hippy style tie dye items, but do not have much of a clue for what shoe style and colour would work well with them. The blue and white duster goes down to the calves, if that is important.

Best quality for price stores[Europe/Sweden] 50-200$

Currently buying my stuff from Uniqlo/Zara/H&M but I’ve no idea what store is probably the best?

Which of these oxford shoes looks relatively better?

Buying a pair to very rarely use with my upcoming bespoke light gray suit primarily or maybe some formal events so needed some suggestions on these. (Each of them just has a leather upper and a PU sole and costs under 50$
