Opinions on the vibe of the outfit, and suggestions on how to change it if needed
Hello guys,
I am trying to pull a classic old-school outfit here in these pics.
My goal is to look:
1. Gentlemen-like
2. Well dressed
3. Old-school
4. Casual
Things I don't want to be part of the vibe:
1. Business man
2. Corporate wagee
3. Teenager/dudebros that wear baggy jeans and baggy shirts everywhere they go
4. "Old-money"
Does this fit check all those? If not, is there something i can do without changing the pants and the shirt themselves?
I'm going

the shoes I'll put on with this fit
Shoes are really bad
Seconding what art said about the shoes. I think the rest of your outfit looks fine but those shoes will ruin it
oh damn really
lol
do u have any shoe recommendations?
Loafers
okay
i have some
thank you guys
if the shirt is short enough untucking it would also read as more casual
untucking loses the vibe i wanna go for
i wanna keep the tuck but still look casual
Just to elaborate on this, "dress sneaker" or any combination of a classic leather shoe upper paired with a more sneaker looking sole doesn't really look classic, old-school, or well dressed. It comes off very businessy and corporate. Sticking to a more traditional leather shoe like a loafer would fit the vibe of this fit more.

i think dress sneakers are supposed to make you look young (hip, cool, not stuffy like The Suits), but nothing makes you look more middle-aged than wearing a wingtip with an athletic sole
