Trying too hard - Topic of the day 1/17/25
i do think you can look 'uncool' if you give off an aura of trying too hard but life is short and i personally love seeing people who are really into their thing (even if it's not my thing) so it's worth the embarrassment imo. sincerity is fun to be around

Looking for pleated trousers recommendations
prl, casatlantic, suitsupply, drakes, lemaire, most men's brands offer pleated pants, a budget (and style) is still helpful as some of these brands still go for hundreds of dollars secondhand

Looking for pleated trousers recommendations
Double pleats are great if you have a smaller waist and bigger thighs/hips/ass but tbh not that much of a difference in the grand scheme of things

Looking for pleated trousers recommendations
Number of pleats don't matter wrt your height. Double pleats usually mean a wider fit but not always!

shetland polos
Oh nice yeah the S short is just over 24 long. Not a lot of texture but that's a good option regardless. It's not too hard to find shorter smooth/thin merino and cashmere polos for cheap on ebay, the real challenge is finding something with a shetland-like texture lol

shetland polos
yeah looking at the W&B polos and j crew brushed polos it seems like (based on ebay sellers) they're around 25-26in long too. my ideal would be 22-23 long and 20 wide in a textured but not like CHUNKY material... i'd like to be able to wear it under tailoring or tuck it into stuff without too much bulk

Question on Boggi Milano coat I bought
Your coat lining should not be touching your skin anyway? You'll have a shirt on under it probably. Viscose is rayon is cupro is bemburg, just different brands of rayon (cellulose based fabric). 50 poly 50 viscose is fine, it might smell more when you sweat depending on what type of poly it is I guess.
Afaik IT sizing is the same as EU sizing but Zeo is right in that you should go off measurements

Wardrobe Overhaul for mid-30s 5'3 Trans Guy
When it comes to overhaul I think starting SLOW and with casual outfits (ie what you wear everyday/casually) is best because you'll wear it more and you'll find out what fits into your lifestyle and comfort zone. I agree that thrifting is a great start. also take a tape measure to stores/your current wardrobe and measure stuff that fits you the way you like - makes it easier to navigate sizing charts and online thrifting. So maybe start with 1-3 'new' items and see how you like them for a little while
My goal isn't to pass as male at all, but I definitely think I get he/himmed more when I'm wearing an open jacket of any kind (and if i'm not wearing a tight shirt lol) anything that creates a straight line along your sides will make a big difference. Having straight or wider pants will help continue that straight line. If you search me on the server you can look at my fits - i'm 5 6 and a cis woman with a medium-ish bust (i wear like a 30F) and similarly curvy hips and I think you can probably see what makes me look more or less masc.

Any good sock brands for Drake'sposting (no Drake's)?
Uniqlo is cheap, lots of colours, shorter, thicker. Skolyx is a good budget option for the drake's look (thin, wool, dress socks, they have the bright purple colour)

Under 510 jeans didn't work out for me, what should I try next?
Just jumping in to say that tailoring jeans is not a beginner project for most alterations, denim is thick and faded indigo/flat felled seams/yoke-style backs with a one piece waistband are all details that make them challenging to alter (well). There's a reason denim and jeans tend to be more expensive to alter, and why people will go to specialty stores and tailors for it.

Honestly most likely fit issue if you're amab wrt to women's knits is the shoulders and arms being slimmer than you're used to for that chest measurement. It'll also likely be cut for someone 5 5-5 9 and shorter in the waist, so the sleeves and torso might be shorter than you expect if you're over ~ 5 8 or so
