ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

awful

I got new shoes yesterday http://www.vans.com/shop/ProductDisplay?storeId=10153&productId=2975830&langId=-1&catalogId=10703

if you must wear a sport coat with jeans and your blazers are all at the cleaners then at least wear a shirt that looks good untucked and ditch the tie so it is less immediately obvious you are wearing a suit jacket and jeans? Except the shoulder pads / structure are such a dead giveaway. I wonder what happened to the pants that came with the jacket.

I mean I wear blazers with jeans all the time, never the one that's actually a suit jacket though
the tie makes it really abysmal

btw this is ezra signature look ive seen him do it on tv

what is a shirt that looks good untucked?

Never ever wear an untucked shirt with a blazer jfc

lol ok wait do you guys tuck in polo shirts too

oh I love it there's a goddamn eHow about this

I don't really think it looks that good even on the guy in the video. It's possible to make it look good, but the reality is that most dudes are not going to make sure everything is perfectly tailored and proportioned, so better to just avoid.

i wld tuck in the polo if wearing w a jacket, and i have before even, not sure what id do if the pants were jeans, i mean i guess i think its fine either way, i pob wld not wear jeans w that but its fine idk

if i was just doing it to meet some work decorum baseline i wld def leave it untucked tho lol

i wld do savage things if i worked in a place where i had to

the guy in the video looks terrible lol

wearing a sport coat with an untucked shirt makes you look like you had to take the loaner at a jacket-required restaurant

otm

fwiw I think tucked in polo with slacks can look fine, but it's a strictly office thing and definitely a little conservative

and not with jeans

tucked in polo can be insanely stylish but u have to be stylish to do it

tucking in gets a bad rap in general. waists are cool, belts are cool, proportions are cool.

started watching the americans last night and thought his tucked in polo was p dapper, crappy photo aside. prob wouldn't do it myself but i never wear polo shirts anyway.

i assume you guys wear untucked shirts when not wearing a blazer/sportscoat, right? again, i seldom wear formal jackets these days apart from formal occasions, but quite often wear oxfords untucked with jeans or whatever.

i generally tuck in button down shirts which i hardly ever wear unless its something super casual like a flannel or w/e, do not tuck in a polo unless its w a jacket but am willing to give it a try tbh

I tend to favour button down generally, even for quite casual shirts.

i wear button-down shirts a lot both for work and casually and tuck in more often than not. most of my shirts are too long to wear untucked though for the summer i have some casual button down shirts that are shorter and untucked is def preferable when it's hot it.

but in other seasons jeans/chinos plus tucked-in button down is basically my look.

most of my shirts are too long to wear untucked

yea that's the problem, i'm short too so it is hard to find a shirt that looks good untucked, i definitely have a few but it is hard to find them

i actually just got a nice red/white/blue gingham from proper cloth and i hoped i had ordered it short enough to be wearable untucked but it's actually still a little too long.

xp that guy kind of looks like me and that's p much how I wear a tucked polo -- close-fitting but not too tight, contrasting slacks or chinos.

and never shiny/smooth/golf polos

bonobos polos are actually really good for that look

hey anyone own a pair of the tapered 501s? http://www.levi.com/US/en_US/mens-jeans/p/181730034 i am thinking about getting a pair.

nevermind they don't have my size

Something about the profile of those bothers me in the pics, but it might just be on account of the tucked in tee.

hmm did not know those existed this is relevant to my interests

just got some great double discounts at levis dot com folks

yeah id wear a pair of tapered 501s for sure. basically any high-end/expensive jeans i buy wear out in less than 2 years so im going to go more in a 501s direction in future

also i p much always tuck in button down shirts

i like those tapered 501s. tried on a bunch of levis at a jeans depot in my neighborhood the other day and ended up buying a pair of blk 522s, wasn't perfectly satisfied but i needed dark jeans. may get a 501 tapes in dark blue

there are a lot of examples of people doing it really badly but that's basically true of everything in style

rules
1. if the shirt tail is even close to peeking out under the back of the jacket, NO
2. if the shirt is one of those formaldehyde-soaked "wrinkle-free" pieces of shit, NO and also throw the shirt away, who bought that for you
3. probably (definitely) best if the shirt has a pinpoint collar
4. unless it's a polo, obv

also, for the haters

not really sure why pinpoint collar would be the collar of choice for untucked shirts with blazers. Nor do I agree with the conventional wisdom on wrinkle-free shirts -- they vary widely in quality and I have some that look great. That said, don't wear untucked button down shirts with jackets.

obviously never, ever do it if you have a gut
I forget this part because I don't

there are no rules

those chucks make me want to cry, it's like Vernon Reid took up quilting.

lmao

lol the black leather logo patch to signify premiumness or something

you'll never believe my size was on sale
