Is there a way to make slightly large shoes fit?
I got a pair of loafers which I really like, unfortunately they are like 1/2+ above my size. Is there a way I can make them fit?

Looking for pleated trousers recommendations
1 pleat or 2 pleat? Does the number of pleats matter if you're shorter (5"6)? What are some of your favorite pleated trousers cuts and brands? What about vintage? I'm mostly looking for cuts that aren't slim, mostly looking to try out new type of pants. Also I am swing dancing, so if you have an idea of appropriate trousers or clothing in general I'd highly appreciate that. Thanks in advance!!

What are your opinions on sack blazers?
Not necessarily planning to get one, I've been checking different garments lately and I'd like to know what y'all think about the sack cut. What does it do well? What kind of body proportion usually looks good in it? Does it even fit in your wardrobe if you happen to own one? What are some of the reasons you wouldn't want to own one? Feel free to add whatever you think about the sack cut, I'm interested in your experiences and knowledge.

Planning and building a shoe/boot wardrobe
As I'm slowly overhauling my wardrobe I realized that I do not wear anything but sneakers, which doesn't always go well with some fits. I've been reading about different shoes/boots and been looking at inspo, what I struggle with the most is planning a combination of shoe types and colors that will be versatile but will not fill my wardrobe with shoes of the same color/type/leather, or at least that's what I think I want. I realize this is a slow process, so I want to lay out my options and plan ahead. I'll start with something like snuff suede shoes. Do I go for loafers or ranger mocs? Then chukkas, if I already have a pair of snuff suede shoes, do I go for a darker brown chukka or a tan chukka? What about a dark brown/black chelseas/work boots? Most chances I won't need to dress more formally in the future, maybe I'll dress more preppy but it'll take a lot of time (and cordovan loafers is something I plan to get at some point in the future), so until then I'd like to plan ahead for a more casual wardrobe. If there are shoe types I'd like to avoid for now until I develop a more coherent style it would be tyrolean derbies, tassels and black combat boots. What other shoes/boots types do you recommend?

fit check for thrifted clothes
Hi, posting pictures of clothes that I thrifted for the first time, also first time buying clothes with intent. Please ignore the white paint on the blundstones lol, these are the only boots I have and I painted with them lol. Any feedback of any kind is highly appreciated, I'm mostly concerned about length.

Do clothes that look too long on you look better as you bulk?
Not sure how to phrase this question, but I have some clothes that I thrifted that I really like, I'm not sure they fit me well (I'll create a thread tomorrow) and they fit me kinda long, since I'm 5"7 125lbs. My question is, if you bulk up to around 160lbs or more, do shirts or jackets that look too long for you start to fit better? Or is this only a height thing? If it is, does it mean I need to either get garments tailored or buy a smaller size that might fit too tightly? (Like S compared to M where S has a good looking length but feels too tight compared to M which fits well but is too long). Thanks in advance! Will post fit checks tomorrow

first chore jacket color
hey everyone, currently looking into getting a chore jacket for the first time. what colors are recommended? i probably won't get that indigo blue color. light brown looks pretty, washed blue (i'm not sure how it is called) is similar to a denim jacket, is there a reason to have a chore jacket in that color? it seems pretty versatile either way. maybe light gray?

help with choosing chino size
hey everyone, looking to get some chinos. my waist is 33.4 inch/85cm , i'm looking at some second hand RRL chinos, and when looking at the pants' size chart they have 2 charts for body measurement and the actual product measurement itself. while the body measurement chart says size 33 fits for 33 inch/83.8cm waist and size 34 fits for 34 inch/86.3cm waist, the product measurements say that the the pants themselves at size 31 have a 33inch/83.8cm waist and size 32 has a waist of 34inch/86.3 cm, so I don't know what size to choose. sorry for the convoluted way of asking, i have no idea how to phrase this lol

does bulking affect the clothes that you buy long term?
hey everyone, i'm slowly building a shopping list. how do you deal with buying clothes if you know you might need to overhaul everything since you're going up in weight? is there a way to future proof clothes that you buy somehow?

general question about building a new wardrobe
hi everyone, I'm starting to get into fashion and overhaul my wardrobe, most of what I wear day to day is just jeans with graphic tshirts and vans black sneakers. I'm 172cm tall in my early 20's and I still look like I'm 16 year old lol, pretty sure not having facial hair matters but I like not having a beard.
what I'm most worried about when I look for new stuff I could wear is that I'd look kinda ridiculous and wear clothes that are better for people who look older than me, not sure if that makes sense. I guess not being that tall matters too.
my general question is how do you choose clothes that are appropriate for your age and environment? my country isn't formal at all, so if I build a wardrobe I'm trying to keep in mind that I shouldn't look formal, but I do not know how to differentiate between formal and casual garments. Right now I'm starting to build a list for a fall/winter wardrobe, I'm not sure if a pair of gray wool flannel pants are a good start (other than getting some nice chinos and jeans). thanks in advance for the advice yall
