I’m looking for a durable good looking black suit jacket and pants that I can get tailored if I were to lose weight, I have a budget that caps out at 200$ , I’ve seen some Haggar suits at my local retailers but I’m skeptical of their quality. Any recommendations?
These jeans pictured are from the brand Ottway but they've been out of stock for months. Does anyone know of a brand or place to get similar jeans? The texture of the fabric is mostly what im looking for, they dont neccesarily need to be as baggy as these.
I know this typically doesn’t work together, but I’m hoping I can pull this off. Is the belt too light brown?
I know I'm not attractive and a bit overweight, and I don't have control over the mess in this photo it's in the basement at work. I do want to dress nicer though!
All my Carmina loafers and oxfords (5 pairs) are size 9 UK.
Recently bought a 9.5 UK Oxford pair for $770ish and the fitting was terribly loose after breaking-in, so I sold that pair in Marketplace for less than half.
This incident made me anxious about my previous year’s purchase of this Chelsea boots that are actually UK 10. With thicker socks, they feel ok. But do they look big on my feet? I am about to sell them, but want to have a second thought. Is it okay for handcrafted shoes to have one whole size up/down based on the shoe style?
Heading up to a wedding in the country side this weekend.
The outfit: I have a medium (on the grey scale) wool blazer, dark blue pants and a white and light blue shirt. Seems ok so far, I think.
It’s the dark blue polka dot tie that’s giving me second thoughts. What do you think?
Hey folks, apologies if this isn't the right sub the for question. I just thrifted this wool sweater (90 percent wool, 10 percent cashmere).
I have quite a number of wool items and I'm familiar with the care. When I thrift one, I typically will give it a hand wash in the bathtub with some Woolite and tepid water, I'll squeeze as much water out as possible, roll the garment up in a towel and press it, then lay it flat to air-dry.
Have never really had issues before today. The knit has really loosened after the wash and I wonder if there's anything to do to tighten it up again.

How much it would suit with good quality white tailor made formal trouser.
Okay, so first up, by curvy, I mean LITERALLY CURVY, not bulky or overweight. I'm about 5'10 and 160 pounds, but there's a few annoying things. My measurements are: Neck circumference: 13.2
Shoulders length: 14
Chest circumference: 35
Natural waist circumference: 31 in
Lower waist circumference: 34
Hips: 41 inch
Thigh circumference: 26
I don't have everything, like arms, but they're pretty proportional to my upper body. I'm almost entirely sedentary as well. The issue for my specifically is figuring out what to wear in menswear that's fashionable: My seat is too large for baggy clothes, and also too large for medium or tight clothes. Most rigid pants are INCREDIBLY uncomfortable and tug awkwardly at any size on my thighs and glutes, but if they're cut to proportion they highlight the lower body, which when combined with a very thin waist and average upper body, it doesn't work as well for menswear. The only option I can even think of (and the thing I do) is usually something along the lines of wearing a jacket to structure my top and just saying screw it, and wearing normal jeans, but it isn't a very flattering outfit. Basically, I feel stuck when it comes to this.
Edit: one other thing, I'm not short and stocky, in fact my torso is fairly short and I have longer legs, which just adds insult to injury :( oh and a lot of this is skeletal, along with it being crazy odd fat distribution. My hip bone is just really large, and I just happen to store fat in my seat and lower body, and not my upper. I’ve been mistaking as FTM trans before, since I have a pretty soft face
