Mom owned a knitting shop when I was a kid, and she dressed me in woolen sweaters every day of the week. Once I could dress myself I rebelled, and I've been wearing nothing but hoodies for decades. Well, I'm now going through that cliche mid-life-trying-dress-better crisis. The pendulum is swinging back. So I bought a STACK of second-hand knits: crewnecks and cardigans, shetlands, lambswools, a few cashmeres, shirts, all 100% wool. Trying to make mom proud before she kicks off to the great wool store beyond. How am I doing? How can I diversify? This sub has been helpful for me in starting to build a new grown up wardrobe - so thank you!

Title says most of it. Down 81lbs+ since January. Wanted to get some new clothes. Levi’s jacket $35 at Sierra. Ely Cattleman shirt $45 at a vintage store. George jeans $18 at Walmart. Blundstone boots $210 at my local workwear store.

Is the jacket too short? It doesn’t quite button yet but it will soon. Is the shirt too long? Do the jeans sit on the boots properly?

Before you say it: Yes I know I need a beard trim and haircut. Yes I should smile more.

I’m a little self-conscious so please go easy on me.

Did I Style it well?

Documenting the journey... Advice? I was a purely jeans and t-shirt guy all my life.
Also bald w/beard. Not that matters here...but fyi.

Im looking for an everyday business casual (or even just casual) shirt that can be worn untucked and still look good. I tried untuckit shirts, but they fit weird on me, meaning they are slightly not long enough. I was thinking something like the picture for reference for the type of shirt I am talking about.

Shirt - Rare rabbit

Winter is coming and im thinking of getting a wool scarf, does it matter if its labeled as womens or mens?

It's been a while I posted on here. Today decided to share my outfit for my Birthday outing with my friends. What do you guys think?

I’m a suit noob. I know the jacket is a bit short (but no changing that) and the shirt needs to be ironed. What do we think of everything else? Should I go with another tie? Black oxfords instead of oxblood?

Hello, just thrifted these shoes for €25. Can anyone tell me more about them?

Going to a wedding this weekend as my girlfriend’s plus-one, so I won’t really know anyone there. The dress code is “elevated cocktail / colorful formal,” with lighter colors encouraged since it’s an outdoor wedding in San Diego.
I was originally just going to wear my usual navy suit, but I happened to be browsing Nordstrom Rack and came across this light blue suit jacket and matching pants for about $300 total. Figured it would be a little more fun for this wedding, so I grabbed it along with the peach/coral tie.

I took everything to the in-house tailor at Nordstrom Rack, and he thought the fit was pretty good as-is. He mentioned the sleeves were a little long, but that I could get away with them. Then he looked at what I’d paid and basically said he honestly thought it was good as is but he could make alterations if I really wanted them.

So I’m curious what everyone thinks about the fit. Anything noticeably off that I should consider having altered? Or

Also trying to decide between the white and light blue shirt. I like how crisp the white looks, but there’s something about the light blue that I think works better with the suit and tie.

I’m also considering swapping the lighter brown shoes for dark brown if I go with the blue shirt. Might add a white pocket square too, but that’s about it.

I bought this vest and love it, although I’m not sure what its best complements might be. How would you build an outfit (tasteful and conservative with this kinda wacky vest at its center) around it? Be creative!
