magisme Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Nothing wrong with red boat shoes, but I'm not a huge fan of the texture of those.Hard to go wrong with J Crew in my book. What's your build, though? I go for the slim fit most of the time. Slim fit shirts, urban slim fit pants, Ludlow Blazers, Thompson suits. They come up with some great coats too. Love that place.

Tater Totts Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Difficult to get anything but slim fit in most places these days, don't have anything against it but after gaining quite a bit of weight over the last year my choice in clothing has been somewhat limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that place.I see what you mean with the texture, but I've never found it a big deal. It's more subtle on the darker pair I was looking at before, so if that pops back up I'll go with them.I'm 6'1" on a good day and about 190, so not exactly slim. Fortunately, J Crew still makes plenty of good stuff. Their slim fit shirts still fit me pretty well if I go a size up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I usually get a lot of excess fabric around my torso when I'm wearing regular fit shirts, and slim fit shirts can get tight across my chest and arms. They should start making a "lift fit". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular fit is basically fat fit. I actually get extra slim shirts from some places, and usually the waist of those still has to be take in a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnold layne Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Jeans, converse, hoodie. Tommy Bahama yesterday. Ladies love the Tommy Bahama. Necktie today. Look like a massive hooray for tolerance! for a speech I don't give a flying fuck about. But jeans and a hoodie are my standard wardrobe.

Jakey Styley Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Where do you guys get tight fitting solid color T shirts? I'm slim and it's hard to find the fit I want. H&M is hit or miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me 25 minutes to find a couple normal long sleeve T shirts in there the other day. I wonder if it's a high up marketing-type decision to give them some kind of image.

The fitting is sweet.It's a concious thing, the UK stores are all over the place too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 H&M has terrible organization, not too expensive either which was quite agreeable when I was at University.NEXT and Topman will be your best bets for the colour tshirts, Topman usually have 3 for £15 during the summer months but the fit is quite slim unless you get a size up.

Guest NGOG Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yeah, but the Topman ones are very spiceboy don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I don't think I've found anything that actually fitted me in Topman for years. Too broad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Well if you get the low cut v-necks then yes but there do sell the ordinary round necked tshirts during summer for cheap, I always get a size up so they aren't stupidly tight like everything else in there..Burton used to be quite good for them too but they've gotten really shitty over the last couple of years.If need be just get some off Amazon for £3 each or something.

The Sandman Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Nah, even the normal ones because they're slim-fit naturally, so the cut isn't flattering whatever you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pebbled leather is one of my favourites, I've bought quite a few bags in the last year or so that are pebbled leather and its quite easy to look after I find too.
