Trying to adopt a new style...need help

I'm just getting into fashion so am a little clueless. I like simple and clean looks. I love this shirt that this person has on. Can anyone help identify where I could find a similar shirt with the same sort of collar? I'd like to know what sort of pants these are too. Thank you!

that's a pretty generic Cuban collar short sleeve shirt, and the pants are slim fit chinos the style that the pants are in especially is a little dated as a heads up

So are the sneakers and no-show/sockless look imo The shirt would look really nice with like wide leg pleated linen pants I’d say though!

I agree but if you reallly like slim fit pants wear them

Abercrombie for example has a lot of affordable options for short sleeve shirts https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/eu/mens-tops-short-sleeve-shirts-shirts
Men's Short-Sleeve Shirts | Abercrombie & Fitch
Check out the gotta-have collection of Men's short sleeve shirts from Abercrombie & Fitch

But you can look everywhere really, they are super popular right now And in general, if you like simple and clean, look into minimalism, there should be a style guide somewhere here.

agreed. this look very minimalist. for the shirt, look up camp collar shirts. for everything else, look at more euro/scandinavian brands, like asket and norse projects.

Careful: People here are reflexively against slim fit or anything that isn't currently "On-TrEnD".

yh im sure slim fit will have it trend again one day

yeah I'm reflexively against it--seeing it triggers my gag reflex! idk there are some ways to wear slim fit that looks good but all you slim fit warriors seem to want to look like a 2010s trend victim or a sexcore guy trends are not actually cyclical. the next resurgence of slim fit will not be the same sort of slim fit you're used to. I think you also need to examine why you like slim fit - is there something inherent to it that you value, or did you just make that up because it was on trend when you got into clothes?

cuban collar shirt + chinos is a classic look imo
yurt
yurt9mo ago
and even if you at first say "no, there really is something inherent!" is that thing actually inherently of value? do you really value it more than the other thing? is it even real?

the -fit- of the chino and whatever you choose to do with socks will depend on personal taste; head to abercrombie or j.crew or banana republic and try stuff on. it may help to take pics and make a new thread here when you do.

sorry this is more to the other people in the thread not OP

Why did slim fit go out of style? Because people stopped wearing it. Why did people stop wearing it? Because it went out of style. Nobody can actually address why it went out of style. They are 100% cyclical; nobody can actually provide an answer as to why slim fit went out of style.

the people who wore it got old

HaveanA1day9mo ago
People who wore jeans 30 years ago got old too.
yurt
yurt9mo ago
they kept wearing it, while being old, wearing it worse and worse as they care less and less

The same thing will happen to baggy styles.
yurt
yurt9mo ago
also uncool people adopted it, like finance bros, and wore it poorly the symbolic logic that form fitting cuts represented shifted also the values that it indicated have fallen out of favor
HaveanA1day
HaveanA1day9mo ago
No teenager has any idea what a finance bro is Shifted from what to what?

You honestly think highschoolers are wearing baggy fits because of finance bros?

sorry what was the question again
yurt
yurt9mo ago
well for one slim fit always was rather exclusive or certain body types. also the slim fit styles were often sold as "timeless and classic" fits.
HaveanA1day
HaveanA1day9mo ago
What were those values?
yurt
yurt9mo ago
do you think that you have a better idea of what young people think than me, the actual young person?
HaveanA1day
HaveanA1day9mo ago
I am 26. If you're so young, how do you know why slim fit fell out of style? You don't remember it being in style.
yurt
yurt9mo ago
I've been into fashion more or less since I was 16 that was 5 years ago, just as slim fit finally started to decline
HaveanA1day
HaveanA1day9mo ago
What values?
yurt
yurt9mo ago
THESE VALUES the idea of a "permanent style" at all to brutalize a phrase I'm not acting like we're going to be all wide fits and wide fits forever
artvandelayimporting
truly outlandish that people on a fashion advice discord would advise against wearing off-trend clothing as you start your fashion journey
HaveanA1day
HaveanA1day9mo ago
Yeah, because it's cyclical. It's socialized intended obscelence. Focusing on trends is a way to get people to replace their wardrobe every five years.
zeometer
zeometer9mo ago
trends typically cycle faster than that

this pseudo-Marxist drivel isn't going to beat capital and it isn't going to make you look cool either

but also what is even the point of this discourse

I hate to have to point to the big sign that says WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY but this is what it's come to

if you're up for debating if when and why slim fit went out of style #fashion-discussion is an option

yeah god the poor guy who asked this question

if you're wondering why people are recommending wider fit stuff when op will possibly encounter or be suggested wider fit stuff as they shop then... @MorgolKing abercrombie, banana republic, uniqlo all have decent quality camp shirts and chinos for reasonable prices try stuff on, take pics, post said pics if desired in a new thread

re: op—u can prolly make the type of style in the photo u posted look good with some time and effort. but that time and effort will probably end up leading you in a different direction and then circling back to this type of slim stuff once u have enough steeze

@MorgolKing Those pants look like burgundy, slim-fit corduroys. The shirt looks like linen with a Cuban collar. I would advise you to get a long-sleeve shirt and roll it up rather than buying a short-sleeve one. Do they have long-sleeve?
artvandelayimporting
buying a long sleeve shirt and rolling it up to your biceps is a completely different look than what's in the photo
