Thanks for you’re awnsers

People that live in mild/warmer climate, what slippers do you wear at home?

I'm from Southern California. Looking for slippers to wear at home! No carpet, just hardwood.

My office job technically doesn’t have a dress code, but I’ve been wearing Uniqlo polos with their tapered pants and they’ve been great so far. I’m pretty new to Uniqlo and have no complaints, but I’d like to expand my wardrobe with a few pieces from other brands too.
I’m willing to spend more than Uniqlo prices if the quality is worth it. What other brands or stores would you recommend for business casual clothes that are well-made and look sharp?

I found a suicide squad shirt from 2016 in my closet and I was thinking about wearing it but I am scared I will get made fun of. It is a shirt with a picture of 5 peoople on the movie. I am scared I will get made fun of for wearing a shirt that was made for the firsy suicide squad movie. If someone sees me wearing a suicide shirt with pictures on it from an outdated movie will it be seen as cheesy? I also have a Harley Quinn shirt from 2016.

I mean maybe a chinese store or something?

Is there even one site that is not an extremly suspicous dropshipping shithole where I can shop looks without getting a complete headache?

thx in advance!

Hi all,
Are there any itlian makers that sell suits in similar price range to two mentioned brands that are also high quality and You can reccommend them?

Would be glad for any insights etc.
Thanks!

So I've been losing some weight recently and that's been nice. However, I've now got pants that I like to wear which bunch like crazy around my waist when I wear a belt. I know eventually I have to buy new pants, but is there something I can do in the meantime to make the pants not look as bunched? I want to put off buying new pants for as long as possible.

Does anyone here wear work boots or hiking boots casually? Is it too weird?

What brands or models do you guys wear? Anything not too bulky or over-the-top?

EDIT: I'm actually mainly interested in hiking boots as casual wear, actually

I'm 6'2 165lbs wearing a size large. Most of my t-shirts are an American size large and are quite oversized. I really wanted the whitesville tee to be a bit tighter and more form-fitting, particularly around the neck, arms (twigs), and shoulders. Most importantly I want these shirts to be much shorter than this currently is, while still having some looseness. I ordered a size medium to try it on, but I've since learned that these shrink quite a bit. How much do they shrink? Should I forget the medium? Sorry for my messy room. Also wonder if I should follow the philosophy of going up a size due to shrinkage with similar shirts? (Buck mason tubular, rogue territory, wonderlooper, McCoy's, Bronson, etc.)

What are some casual shirt brands that aren’t very preppy? I’m looking for more of an elevated casual type of casual button up shirt. I’ve been strictly looking on eBay because it’s easier to buy clothes when they’re measured. These are the current brands I have listed, but am trying to weed out the brands that are too preppy.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been trying to join BestSecret but I don’t know anyone who’s already a member. If anyone has a spare invite, I’d really love too if you could send it to me in DM.

Thank you 🤍

Hello everyone, I’ve saved up and am about to buy my first leather jacket. I’m at a cross road though between a black and brown(cognac or russet). I don’t know the questions to ask, nor which I would wear more. Any advice on how to pick would be appreciated.

For reference, I have about 7 longer overcoats and at this point, one part of my brain is telling me "you don't need more dude, you are running out of room to hang them," but another part of my brain is telling me "we don't have a black trench coat yet or anything at all in blue, green, or like a bunch of other colours."

Ordered two on Amazon. 35 bucks each for a t shirt seems steep so I am hoping they live up to the hype. Ive heard mixed reviews. Do they really hug your arms and chest in a nice fitted silhouette way ? Im really hoping this isn't something I'll have to return..

I [M52] recently bought myself a pair of black pleather pants (I know you’re probably thinking of Ross right now). But the combinations I had in my mind don’t really work.
Tried plain white t-shirts, linnen blouse but wasn’t too happy about it.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thnx!

I am going to have to get rid of a.lot of it. I work as a professor so I am pretty casual (chinos, long sleeve T shirts or collared shirts and unstructured jackets) and a pair of jungle mocs or loafers/oxfords (in case you are wondering I do have a Lauren corduroy jacket with the elbow patches). I have a couple of nicer suits for more formal wear and like a bazillion ties. I think I still have a tuxedo somewhere but it's been ages.

As I rarely wear suits, mix and match is the name of the game, but how many cards should I be starting with. I have 7 or 8 pairs of banana republic chinos in different colors, and I will also sometimes wear 501's. This seems manageable.

But collared shirts I probably have like 20 solid colors and 25 patterned. That is insane, and with that much choice paralysis, I usually end up wearing the same 5 or 6.

So what's the best way to approach this. I thought of breaking it up into pools of 5-6 shirts and at the end of the month, swapping them out for a different 5-6.

I suspect someone will say to keep the best fitting shirts but they are all pretty much the same as they are all off the rack.

Looking for guidance.

Hey everyone, I need some advice, I feel like
I’m going insane.

Where can I buy some black/navy thin ankle socks? Reason I’m going crazy is because I can’t seem to find a brand that has decently thin ankle socks.

I tried Bombas, and even though they say lightweight or ultralightweight, they are still thick.

I have no problem finding thin no show socks, but not so much with ankle socks. I thought about lululemon, maybe they are thin?

Funny enough the Nike ankle socks are pretty good, but I only like the quality of their white socks and they don’t really have any other colors.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Basically what the title says.

All my life I've never worn underwear that didn't ride up my leg. I've tried loose boxers, boxer briefs that sit snug to my thighs, etc. They all eventually ride up my thighs, even if I walk for a little bit, so I constantly have to awkwardly pull them down mid walk/run. Won't try briefs because my thick thighs will instantly start to chafe with even slight amount of heat/moisture.

The problem is that now that I'm in the military I'm running a lot more and out in the field more, so on any sort of movement I'm constantly either pulling my boxers down or just raw dogging it and letting it chafe. I've tried a lot of underwear but mostly from Walmart/Target so nothing high end. At this point I don't mind shelling out for something I can just forget about.

The only thing that's worked are the spandex liners for my army PT shorts, but I thought I'd ask here before resigning myself to only wearing compression shorts from now on.

I'd also appreciate how to size underwear, I usually go slightly bigger than the waist measurement I wear but even that sometimes compresses my legs during movements like squatting. My waist is 32'-34' and my thighs are 25'.
