ils thread for general menswear and men's clothing ish

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

i don't think jeans + untucked buttown down + jacket is a bad look necessarily. i kind of think of it as the look of people who are like 'can't be arsed with business attire' giving the bare minimum of compliance (it's what my frumpy academic dad wears to funerals), and will totally sail under everyone's radar.

i request yr dad to plz tuck in his shirt at my funeral thank u

i think it's one of those looks for guys who love to brashly say they don't care about fashion

at my grandpas funeral my cousin and his boyfriend who are major nerds tried to look nice but forgot to wear belts lmao

both of them!

there are no rules

its such a guy thing to search for the rules of fashion when really whats important is to learn how to feel

ya exactly. maybe also managers of restaurants?

image searches for "massimo dutti blazer" "zara man blazer" etc. reveal a very small population of untucked buttondowns in street style / lookbook shots
not on restaurant managers so much as... humanities students, I think

oh wait here we go my dudes

I really don't post here just to antagonize everybody, I don't

blazer wearing is usually just a concession to aging no, like maybe if i put this over my normal clothes everything will be ok

feel like ppl cld get more milage out of not just wearing jeans everyday, there are all sorts of great pants out there folks!

let jeans be the casual clothes they are imho dont try to dress them up

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

i want to zing the chucks but i'll never top this

i think they could work for someone with a rad collection of black t-shirts with pop culture references on them.

Sorry, I'm bad with DNs lately, which unremarkable member of the keepin' it negative dickhole zing posse are you again?

I usually post as Tailored JNCOs

The living colour joke was good, what happened?

it just got fun to troll you and your style pointers ITT is all

it's hurting btw

oh shit we got a boot cut jeans sighting

i'd wear slimmer-fitting pants with that shirt/jacket combo -- or get a jacket that's broader in the shoulders, that outfit looks awkward

yeah, agreed. The jacket and shirt look fine, but the pants don't work. I'd do diff shoes too -- the big white chuck toes really stick out with an otherwise dark outfit and look a little too casual or kid-like.

Please note my right hand displaying the universal symbol of love

btw you have some long-ass legs, unless that's just the iphone lens distortion

you could actually get away with a longer shirt/jacket because of that

I fully admit that pair are my loosest jeans outside of weekend housework shit kickers. The rigid wash is basically shrink-to-fit and I love the color (in better light) but they are perhaps excessively cozy

Jesus h Xposts

My sleeve is longer than my inseam, is the funny part

can we have ZS do a gif of my style sins

don't know anyone who tucks non dress shirt with blazer except mormons maybe
west coast vs east perhaps?

I don't think blazer wearers on the west coast are attempting fashion, they're just being people who put on blazers that day

blazer wearing has become extremely default for a certain type of guy

actually yeah it's unfair for me to apply that just to the west coast. that's ex-pat smugness on my part.

plus I'm not really fashionably tbh, but I think that a blazer or sport coat + untucked shirt is a bad look.

I'm not fashionably to be honest
