I need tips

What pairs of jeans go really well with jordan 11s? and also can i style polo with jeans

Jungle jacket fit

I got a og US jungle jacket off ebay which I'm pretty happy with, only thing I'm wondering is whether it looks slightly too oversized. Due to the pockets I can't really get the length shortened but is it worth getting the chest taken in? is it just too big? Or does the baggy-ness work? I'm used to wearing chore and denim jackets so it might just be a matter of getting used to the fit. Thanks!

Fashion inspiration books?

I've been thinking of how I could collect some inspiration for my fashion style and one way I was thinking of was flicking through some magazine picture books. Is there any that could be useful here?

Outfit for academic conference

I'm presenting my lab's research at an academc conference in a few days - which of these outfit color combos do you think is better? Or should I go with something else entirely? For context, the conference attire is such that wearing a suit (even without a tie) would likely be too formal and look out of place, so I figured a more causal blazer outfit would be ideal....

Soft / Lightweight Baggy Black Jeans

I am in desperate need of baggy / loose fit black jeans. My issue is that every time I have black denim it’s incredibly stiff, rough, and uncomfortable. Does anyone know any good baggy black jeans under 100$ that are soft and comfortable?

Hair styling tips

I have never known what to do with my hair, as my hair type didn't seem to fall into any kind of categories I've seen on social media. I have no idea what my hair type is either. It's curly at the roots, and straight at the tips. I'm open to anything (except a perm, and dreads of any sort)...

Help branching out from slim basics

I’ve acquired a lot of Gap/BR/J Crew over the years, and am tired of looking like a 2015 slim fit catalog. I’ve started getting into mid-level brands (UW, Norse, APC, etc) and dig the modern/relaxed look, but want to integrate a few pieces here and there as opposed to jumping ship entirely. I’m 5’9, 29” waist, 140lbs, close to Toronto, don’t mind second hand (but would prefer to try the same pant fit in person first), willing to spend $250CAD on a pair of trousers/shirt, around $350CAD for a jacket/coat Here are some fits from the UW journal that I’m liking https://tinyurl.com/mpnctnje...

beater black shoes that vibe with drapey stuff

Need something low budget (<$200, can go higher if I have to) that I can wear with drapey neutrals that aren't boots bc that shit gets too warm sometimes. Chunky silhouette with metal accents/rubber soles maybe idk menswear terms :xd:

Shirts that fit like Next Level 6210

I love Next Level’s 6210 tees, but I’m looking for something heavier now. Does anyone know of any higher quality tees that have a similar fit, specifically in the sleeves, which are more form fitting than most tees? Budget is under $100, and I would prefer something either commonly found in retail stores or that offers free shipping.

Hem question

I just measured my inseam to be 26, its from the crotch to ankle right?. here is my pants with two and four fold. Pants is 30 length, thinking if I should go with 26 hem or 28. Picture for reference....

Show Color Recommendations

Already bought a wedding suit, just trying to nail down the proper color for the shoes. Almost certainly buying AE as this is in a few weeks and they are local. I am split between their choices for brown. Walnut is the closest match for the bow tie, but their dark chili is much more versatile. I just don’t want it to lend too much weight to the bottom of the outfit. What do you think?...

Feedback on a recent Uniqlo U purchase

Picked this up from the recent Uniqlo U drop without trying on in store first. Unfortunately they sold out, so I can't contrast and compare with a size up. I'm unsure if this piece is skewing a bit small, or if the cropped body is intended. Could use a bit of advice on how the piece looks...

Smart winter coat for 5’8” slim guy

I’m looking for a nice winter coat that’ll look good with my height and body type. Typically I don’t like longer coats that cover part of my legs (I guess I need to make my legs more visible to look in proportion). I have an old winter coat in my wardrobe that I think is a double-breasted pea coat. I like the style in general but the jacket seems quite boxy on me and I don’t like the collar. I’d prefer a single-breasted jacket at a decent length that sits about suit jacket height or just higher. Any recommendations for search terms, and other styles of jacket that might suit me in a similar vein?...

Heritage / BIFL / Iconic Resources

Looking for resources on finding iconic staples and brands for purchase? Think of ones like the Redwing Iron Ranger, Barbour Beufort, Baracuta G9, etc I'm looking for pieces that defined a clothing style / are durable / repairable that I can hopefully pass down to my kids. Open to buying new or used, but is there a website that collects / groups information on pieces like this?...

What else works with this blazer

I think I found a fit I like, any suggestions for how else I can wear it?

Experience with Rustic Dime (Canvas Chinos)

I was looking up some canvas pants today and I came across the Rustic Dime website. I remember seeing them a few months ago but I haven't seen them discussed that much on here or the subreddit. Does anyone have experience with this brand or their canvas chinos? (https://www.onedimetime.com/products/tobacco-canvas-workwear-chino?variant=42344757100735)...
