Super normie shoes advice
Yo, sup guys,
Im a student and a metalhead and I mostly wear hoodies or shirts with my favorite metal bands and black helikon-tex tactical pants, cuz i carry a lot of things usually and they are just super practical for me, especially because I always carry two pocket knives. Im not into fashion at all, as you can propably tell.
Im just looking for some shoes that:
- look decent
- I can wear casually, basically everywhere...
what’s off about this fit?
Still new to this, is the Trucker jacket too big? Can’t put my finger on why this fit just doesn’t look right. Maybe my body type doesn’t vibe w wide chinos? Lmk what ya think
Undershirt Thing
Hello, how do you call those kinda corded/ribbed, tight fitting things you can wear under a shirt? Like when you wear the shirt pretty open but not to like a party so you need to cover your nipples lol
Need help with a new wardrobe
Hi everyone, I’m planning a trip to the UK in early November, and I’d like a new wardrobe for the trip and in general. I’m 25 years old, 170cm tall, and weigh 75kg. For tops, I wear M/L sizes, and for trousers, I’m a 30/32. I’m open to new styles and fits, as I don’t have a specific preference
I can also provide any other details if necessary, thanks...
Dressier belt recs
Went to put this on today and realized I was really wanting to wear a belt, but my old filson beater didn’t feel right and my western belt was a bit much.
Anybody have any thoughts on a relatively slim black belt that’s a bit dressier n very simple? Ideally not a square buckle.
Thnx ❤️...
Visvim type 2 jacket jumbo vs regular cut?
Hey all, I plan on getting a visvim type 2 jacket and have a choice between a regular cut size 3, and a jumbo size 2. I want something a bit oversized. I'm 175cm 70kg. Does anyone have experience with both cuts? I know it's a bit of a long shot.

Can you recommend other brands that do T Shirts like Paul Smith?
I really love Paul Smith t shirt designs, but at the moment, I've got like 8 different PS t shirts, and want to diversify a bit so I'm not the 'Paul Smith guy'. Could anyone recommend similar designers/brands that do 'tasteful' print T shirts, that kind of have a similar approach to Paul Smith? Thanks!
How to style boots for fall?
I picked up a pair of these boots from Meermin but not sure how to style them especially in 2024. I used to have CDBs but I know trends are away from slim/skinny silhouettes so the classic skinny Chino and OCBD is slightly more dated.
If anyone has any ideas/inspo/where to look for inspo/guides that would be super helpful!
I'm in the UK and we're into Autumn now...
Thoughts on LL BEAN?
I'm looking to get myself a nice shetland sweater and came across this one from LL BEAN. I'm not too familiar with the brand what's the sizing like? The sweater seems to be of high quality but if someone could confirm it that'd be great
second outfit for formal fraternity events
I go to too many date parties now and can’t wear the same outfit every time like I did last year. I can’t figure out what equivalent formalness to what I have would be though to get an alternative one. Here’s my current one (cowboy boots not pictured)
How to clean or deodorize a down vest
Just thrifted a Rocky Mountain Featherbed vest and it smells kinda musty. How do I clean or at least deodorize it if the label says not to wash or dry clean? Would using Febreze be an option? Or spraying it with a vinegar solution?
Suit is WAY too baggy around the waist... Can I fix this?
I have a 40/30 chest to waist ratio. I saw a 40 short suit on sale and got excited. The chest is a perfect fit but I am SWIMMING in the waist and trousers. How much can I fix this?
In the Market for Sneakers
Hey guys! I'm in the market for new sneakers. I find Stan Smith's uncomfortable and want to shake things up. I have chukkas that I wear to work but want something for the weekend, etc.
Would high-top, black Converse Chuck Taylor's go with dark wash 501s and brown, beige and olive chinos?
Can anyone ID the two pairs of adidas sneakers in these photos? I'm considering something like them too....
How versatile are bomber jackets?
I'm interested in a bomber and I normally like to buy clothes that are versatile and can be swapped with almost anything in my wardrobe but I'm skeptical with a bomber. Can I wear it over my casual collared shirts for work and mainly can I wear it underneath another jacket for layering (since my area regularly goes below freezing in winter)? I feel like I usually only see it over a tshirt and that's it but maybe I'm wrong. I'm looking at the costco BR and basic h&m bomber cus they cheap af if an...
Thoughts on pure Linen vs Linen blends?
Heyo I was looking into summer clothes (not craving anything in particular) and I can't find pure Linen anywhere but 50% Linen blends are very common, particularly with viscose and cotton (I assume its tropical cotton). Thoughts on them?
Troye Sivan Costume
Hey, it's not my choice, but I'm going to a Brat themed murder mystery party. I've been chosen as Troye Sivan, but looking at his Instagram, I have no idea what to wear. Imo, he somehow has super distinctive and super boring looks. Weird/recognizable ones, I can't really replicate, and the boring ones look unrecognizable. Also, I do not have the build, skin tone, hair, or eyes that match this man. I'm at a loss haha.
Allen Edmonds loafer sizing
I'm shopping for my first pair of loafers. I typically wear shoe size 11.5. The AE salesperson measured my foot via Brannock and it showed 12.
I tried on some Randolphs and my normal size felt very loose, so I landed on size 11D. They fit very snug (but not painful) and there's no heel slippage at all.
I took them home and am wearing them in the house to make sure they're right. I'm noticing my pinky toe feels a little cramped. It's making full contact with the side of the shoe. When I stand, the leather flexes out over the welt a bit. Is this expected or does it sound like they're too small?...
Building an outfit from the shoes
Picture was quite literally my first "I want to try to stop dressing like a slob" purchase and the first pair of shoes I've owned that has not been black/brown oxfords, cheap winter boots chosen based on their appearance of warmth or things I can play sports in. Impulse buy from Allen Edmonds on steep discount from someone who is rarely impulsive and - until recently - would do anything to avoid buying clothes.
I loved them immediately and still do. I also almost never wear them because I have literally no idea what to wear them with. Seems too casual for my current office wear, which is admittedly mostly comprised of whatever combination of dress shirts/pants was on sale at Macy's on the rare occasions I went (working to update!). Didnt seem to pair well with jeans (too much blue). Looked weird with shorts (I tried). Is this exclusively a "dress down some chinos" shoe? Would love any ideas. Particularly in the business casual/smart casual range, which I imagine is where these would fall anyways....
