hard to tell without the sleeve length, pants and shoes but this looks mostly fine the earlier pic you posted had the pockets flaring pretty badly which is a sign the pants are too small in the seat also depends on how formal your office is but this should clear for business/smart casual and below

Yeah it is Some other fits I have Are you saying my pants are too tight

These are all fine for the office Is there something you’re wanting to change?

I just thought I look out dated You know Posted some of my pics and some people say I look old lol and the style seems for older people I’m gonna delete this post

I mean yeah none of this stuff is on trend but if it's just to wear to the office there's nothing wrong with it
allect

Would you say it’s embarrassing
kyn
kyn4mo ago
no
artvandelayimporting
it's just default office type clothes
kyn
kyn4mo ago
it is normal to above average smart casual type stuff a couple of the pants do seem too small in the seat tho
artvandelayimporting
which is fine because you work in an office

that plaid one as well or checkered one
allect
allectOP4mo ago
Hmm Maybe I should get it more loose then
kyn
kyn4mo ago
i would size up and/or go for a straight/regular fit if these are tapered/slim the pockets shouldnt gap like that
allect
allectOP4mo ago
Alright For sure I’m pretty insecure about myself these days But thanks for the advice I’m going to send one more pic for an opinion

Thank you Lol man I feel my fits are so outdated
artvandelayimporting
I'd opt for straighter fit pants here, which tbh is my note for all of your photos but again, nothing offensive about this
allect
allectOP4mo ago
Like Straighter meaning not tight right?
artvandelayimporting
yeah
allect
allectOP4mo ago
Alright I’ll definitely get straighter pants lol

I also personally am not particularly into these shoes both bc they're oxfords (as opposed to a derby or blucher) and i don't find the lack of texture as interesting and im not really crazy about that kind of polish/color

I actually get slim fit I see
kyn
kyn4mo ago
your pants largely read more skinny/slim, where those, right now, are largely off-trend DOES NOT MEAN THEYRE BAD
allect
allectOP4mo ago
Yeah I know
kyn
kyn4mo ago
there are slim/skinny fit warriors in here making it look good every day
allect
allectOP4mo ago
I need to upgrade my swag lmao So regular fit then I’m short too so I dunno I feel fitted clothes look better on me
kyn
kyn4mo ago
regular (often aka "straight") is a safe option i would really prioritize more how the waist and thighs feel and the pockets look over how long the pants are since you can get those hemmed and height doesn't dictate what kind of clothing fit you can wear as it's more about proportions and silhouette
allect
allectOP4mo ago
Yeah for sure
kyn
kyn4mo ago
there are SOME garments that are tailored in such a way that it MIGHT make people over or under a certain height not look "as intended" by the designer, but I would venture that that is not the case for 99% of clothes on the market (hemming of pants, sleeve lengths and shirts aside)

Thank you for your output

like if you're 4'5" or 6'11" this sweater isn't going to fit on you like this, but this is also not what's in play here

Lol That’s in style at the office?
kyn
kyn4mo ago
(fwiw i also think it is easier to alter clothes for shorter folks than taller folks) no which was my point well, i guess it depends on the office, but no for conventional business/smart casual it would probably fly in my current office, coinflip but likely not on my last one and definitely not in the previous 2
allect
allectOP4mo ago
Lmaooo For sure Are you a guy or a chick?
kyn
kyn4mo ago
i am a guy
allect
allectOP4mo ago
true true I’m definitely going to change my style lol Im thinking I was going to work looking fresh ahaha How old would you say I look?
kyn
kyn4mo ago
you look fine man i am also bad at guessing ages but idk, anywhere from like 26-32 legit i have seen thousands of office outfits and this is squarely in the 50-70th percentile it is not bad whoever said it sucks is either wrong or an asshole pants could be less slim if you care about being on trend and/or in general i would wear the same pants 1-2 sizes up to get rid of the pocket flaring
allect
allectOP4mo ago
Thank you man I appreciate it lol
