ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

yeah i just liked the pic

that is why I have both a tuxedo AND a black suit

</swag>

received wisdom i picked up (from god knows where) is: black suit = mafia hitman. i'm not a master at color, but i'd imagine it's hard to coordinate well with black ... say, the classic menswear combo of black suit + lime green shirt with silver grey tie.

it's hard not to co-ordinate well with black

i never wear black clothes, because i prefer navy and have lots of navy stuff, since it doesn't go with black i don't buy many black items. dunno if everyone has this choice.

navy shirts can go with black trousers very nicely

i saw a wedding party in boston and all the guys were wearing black tuxedos at like 2pm. they looked ridiculous.

it's hard not to co-ordinate well with black

pretty easy if you don't have a black belt or shoes!

what type of disgusting savaged doesn't own black shoes and a black belt

none. none more black

i only own black shoes and a black belt because i worked in a restuarant

caek otm, obv should have been in morning suits before 5pm

navy collared shirts tracer and black trousers tracer? idgi. dark, non-pattered shirts are what you wear if you work in a mobile phone shop or are german afaict. french blue is fine, but none more darker than that.

black t-shirt or black henley shirt with blue jeans maybe. otherwise no black except shoes and belts. it's a vulgar colour.

caek why do you hate goths

black jeans, actually, caek

i don't own black trousers i don't think

i.e. navy collared shirt, black jeans. that's how i roll up on you.

here's a menswear question. i am going for a job interview today. i will be interviewed by MY CURRENT BOSS and HIS BOSS. in a little office on the same floor i work on now. several co-workers also have interviews for the same job. how do i dress to impress without seeming like a tit, given that my normal work steez is jeans and t-shirts?

sorry, not today, tomorrow.

but in your reply you can speak in the PRESENT TENSE to give everything the URGENCY and BREATHLESSNESS today's modern internet typing demands

tuxedo t-shirt, pretty obviously. weird that you have to ask.

tucked into jeans, white sneakers. got it.

do you have the kind of relationship where you could ask your boss? maybe frame it as how does he think his boss will expect you to dress?

i have asked. the consensus seems to be yes, dress up. even if it seems silly. if it's marginal between me and somebody else and i dressed up and they didn't... GUH

black jeans and a black pea coat are my only black items, and i want to replace the black pea coat with a navy one.

xpost blazer and shirt or shirt and tie with a jumper over it or something, and jeans and shoes, that was my approach in possibly the same office you're talking about tracer!

i don't know if i can go "full tie". i just don't. i haven't worn a tie in about a year and a half.

i would love to be that kind of person though. oh hey yeah, no, i'm just switching up my style, it's a COMPLETE COINCIDENCE that i have a job interview today. ties from here on out.

about half my tshirts are black but I appreciate that flaxen haired and wan europeans don't look good in black, I agree

ties are so awesome tho

catching up on thred: kind of mad i am sitting here in a sold dark coloured shirt and being called out on it by a scientist

xpost. otm. i wish i had to wear one more. if i wear one in my office people ask for a reason why.

xp: that's okay, he's a scientist of RONG

yeah idgi, black goes with everything

what type of disgusting savaged doesn't own black shoes and a black belt

and this, obv

just reading back on thread

know a guy got measured in thailand on his honeymoon, gets p. great tailored shirts sent to him every couple of months now.

Brown shoes and brown belt way more versatile.

black doesn't go with everything, this is pure crazy talk

I mean unless you are often required to dress formally.

Elmo otm.

so what do your boss and his boss wear to work? i don't think you want to out-dress them. without more info i'd say maybe nicer khakis or wool trousers with a sportcoat and a shirt with a quiet pattern?

but if your boss's boss wears a suit, then wear a suit.

they don't wear suits or ties. they wear nice shirts and either jeans or trousers. so i'll match up i think. the nut of my conundrum ultimately is whether to bust out nice shoes. i think i probably will.

yes do it

wear a sportcoat if you think it won't be weird

i don't have a sportcoat :/

possibly it is time for a little shoe polishin'!

don't forget to wear yr sleeve garters

i'm not an animal

ok not everything goes with black but as a counter to i'd imagine it's hard to coordinate well with black say
