ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

marcos ime there's usually a difference between "slim" and "skinny" -- "slim" often just means "fits nicely, not baggy, more tailored look" whereas skinny = clings to your legs. This will vary some -- slim in a major brand like Levi's is probably going to be less slim than slim from some fashion brand that already makes tailored-looking stuff to begin with.

ties come in different widths and lengths and fabrics and tippings

Hee hee

yeah, not sure if it's just where i live but rugby sweaters would be counted as EXTREMELY norm (not even normcore) in my neck of the woods. Still looks cool on him though.

give me some ideas on how to blow a couple hundred in Nordstrom gift cards y'all

i'm not a huge fan of a lot of what nordstrom sells. put a dent in the price of a samuelsohn suit maybe?

nordstrom's has a pretty good shoe selection iirc, if you need kicks or dress shoes

Nordstrom's 'trim fit' dress shirt fits my body perfectly

u shd by dan a shirt

dan should buy me a shirt

someone buy me a shirt

let's all do a shirt exchange

man, they have one samuelsohn suit, it's really nice, but no short jacket size and it's $1100.

sell them on ebay

Grow taller

think positive

Enshorten the jacket

o gosh

i don't think you can easily shorten a suit jacket

you cant really at all cause the pockets etc will be in the wrong place then

i was just looking at the wedding photos of a fb friend and i feel like this isn't the first time i've seen this where the groom and groomsmen wear suits and then wear some kind of inappropriate shoe. in this case it was charcoal suits with chunky white boat shoes. here is another example of same from the net:

idk where this look originated but it is so viscerally horrible that i want to kill somebody. what does it even suggest? "i am so unconfident in my ability to wear a suit that i need to accessorize with a reminder i do not dare to take myself seriously/have dignity?"

i'm sorry to sound upset, i just needed to let these feelings out.

you can all wear the same boat shoes but that won't hide the progression of male pattern baldness on display in your family.

those are especially bad boat shoes

Even the kid's shoes are better

yeah terrible. i understand the loafers + suit look that was big in the summer but those look like they're made of scaffolding foam.

just some fun guys having a wedding nbd

I think it's like a bad imitation of some kind of good-ole-boy rich southerner thing

yeah it's def for people who listen to good-timey country pop

you wear khaki suits btw May 15 and June 11 or some bullshit like that

also, slaves

How do you guys feel about the Henley shirt I feel like I've been seeing a lot of them

I don't have hair on my chest I should take advantage

IMO they look very generic department store catalogish. I have seen them advertised a lot lately, is that because of normcore?

may have said this upthread but I have a theory that normcore basically = the stuff that celebrities wear when they go to starbucks and are trying to "blend in"

How do you guys feel about the Henley shirt I feel like I've been seeing a lot of them

It's an Eddie Bauer catalog from 1995 and we're all just living in it.

ive always wondered if they were named after don henley or vice versa

yeah that's exactly the description I was looking for laurel

BTW on what occasions does one wear a shirt w/ a french cuff

Do I need one is my question

IMO any time you wear a suit it's fine, looks funny without one. I'm not partial to them in general though.

No, you don't need any. Except maybe tuxedo shirts, if you're actually going to own a tux.

naw

yes it's only *required* if you are wearing a tuxedo, and then you're getting a tuxedo shirt.

Also dudes who are into cufflinks are usually assholes

I had a colleague who used to wear french cuffs. Certainly no asshole. But he also wore cowboy boots. When you google that combo, you get a full page of results about Rick Perry.

i like french cuff shirts but i am also an asshole

lol
