I've just gotten back into the swing of working out. But trying to gain muscle is harder than trying to lose fat. People can lose ten pounds of fat in a month. I'd have to be on some serious juice to gain ten pounds of muscle. As it is right now I'm about 140 pounds. Also, I am blonde. And I have very fine hair. VERY FINE. I usually put something in it to make it look chunkier and then let it lay down. But I don't like that. I would love to do something interesting, but my hair sucks for anything that requires it to... stay in one place. |

I edited my post above to be more comprehensive, as well. FTR women really don't like guys as small as me. I've heard them say it to me. Being a scrawny guy is like being a fat chick. |

A gay hair-stylist, is your best option, mastashake, don't think twice about spending some good coin on a quality cut. Even more so, since it'll virtually change your style.

conservative 'True Religion' tees are phenomenally comfortable, they too, are very stylish w/o all of the skulls and bs juvenille graphics, i recently picked up one from Nordstrom Rack, wasn't cheap @ 24.95 however it's like wearing nothing, man they're comfortable, even more so than Hugo Boss and Juicy Couture tees,
well I can't find it online, but it's very subtle, has their horseshoe logo, it's a pale yellow w/ bold black bands on the end of the sleeves, very cool tee. I can't recommend this label enough, for comfort & fit alone. |
These shoes are hot as ****. And 4E for my fat ****ing feet!

I don't think your feet are fat.

They're very fat. 4E feet are ****ing fat.

I'm sure it's all muscle

This Alfani polo is badass. Got it for 10 bucks on clearance at Macy's the other day. OWNAGE. In black.
http://slimages.macys.com/is/image/M...0.5,0&fmt=jpeg http://www1.macys.com/catalog/produc...xx.esn_results ALMOST bought these linen pants...they were killer. I'm looking for a nice, thin pair of linens for summer.... http://www1.macys.com/catalog/produc...xx.esn_results |

those shoes are ugly as hell. I hate them. |
are you sure the title of this thread shouldn't be:
Queer eye for the straight guy? |
OK, I bought some swishy linen pants. They are nice and cool, and provide easy access to my balls for the ladies.
Anyway, my concern is what shoes to wear with them. Sandals? Surely not my desert boots. http://www.cubavera.com/Pants+Shorts...0147ds&bklist= http://www.cubavera.com/content/ebiz...0147_122_A.jpg |

fairly tight, MUCH better than the other color

for those of you that were asking about shoe recommendations...

Nike Air technology comes preloaded on those, btw, which is cool, i guess.
|
$168 is damned steep, but they'd last for 7+ yrs. So, FWIW
|
do you all not like those cole haan black shoes? I'm inside a month of purchasing these.
|
I like them a lot and don't have any black shoes except sneakers but there's no way I could/would ever spend that much.
|
Any opinions on those big, wool duffel coats with toggles?

IDK, to me they look like they're a boot, yet low-cut, and aiming toward a 'driver' look. I like it, dressy enough to look compact and not bulky. Work perfectly in the moisture too. I'm buying them.
|
That's why there are thousands of choices available. I like them just fine for you.
|
hey red...if you buy em, you are going to take those stickers off, aren't you?
sec |
I bought some Gucci boots the other day off of craigslist for $125. They were going on ebay for like $325 and apparently new in the store $600.

any of you w/ medium shorter hair that ride a spiked or manipulated style that are looking for a good product, this is the one. Best I've used since 'fudge' products (ALA 1997.)
Clever Black Matte finished jar, w/ a smart 'quick-flip' top/cap. it doesn't take much of this. It IS something you have to 'WORK' in your hair for a while, i think the warmth will help it 'optimize' it's control. It's precious too, because you can hold it in your left hand as you crunch in your style w/ your right. BEHOLD!: http://i52.tinypic.com/2dkafdv.jpg |
normally I'm not a TIGI fan, but this was a masterpiece, long over-due - IMO
Also, It's like 18$ per. - seems high, but this stuff lasts for four mos. So not so high, really. I'm high though. |

Well, I'm not style challenged, in fact I have pretty good style, I'd like to think. However, I am perplexed on this latest issue. I could use some help!
I'm meeting the long-distance gf for her best-friends wedding, and she is the maid of honor. I'd like to look good, since we obviously don't get to see each other as often as other couples. I will also be meeting friends and family this go around, so I need to not look like a slapdick. She will be wearing a "jade" colored dress. The exact color can be found here:http://www.davidsbridal.com/Browse_B...colorName=Jade Now, I'm not trying to "match" her dress, but I'd like to look good standing next to her, dancing, pictures, etc... so the colors need to not clash or look stupid. The reason I am in a pinch is because one of my normal, go-to colors (light blue) won't work on this go-around. Right now, Im thinking gray suit, white shirt, black tie. My concern is that it is too simple. Colors that go well with Jade are silver, black, gold, cream, white, and pink. My style: I am dark blonde, with light blue eyes, and moderately tan. I never wear yellow and pretty much steer clear of earth tones (browns, tan, dark green). I wear a tapered, euro-style suit with a slim tie when I dress suit-nice. I keep it simple, not a lot of crazy designs, mostly solid colors, with the occasional argyle tie. Suit: Since it's a spring wedding, and I'd rather not look like I'm attending a funeral or prom, a black suit won't do. Because of her color, navy blue is out as well. I've pretty much settled on light gray, and am leaving the door open for a graphite gray (with a hint of shine). Any other options? Belt/shoes: If the suit is gray, then Black. Simple enough. Shirt/Tie: Now, in another situation, I would be open to a faint pink shirt, but I'd hate to make a douche impression and be "that guy" in pink. So, is my only option a white shirt? And the tie decision will be settled after the shirt is picked. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm not insecure with the relationship whatsoever, I'm purely concerned with looking like an asshole in front of everyone in her life. I want to look good for her sake, so thanks in advance for any assistance. |

I'd go with a very light yellow shirt, so light it is almost off white.

If you're trying to go as vanilla as possible, your original option of white shirt/black tie isn't a bad one.
You're pretty limited on shirt options - white is the way to go IMO. I wouldn't go with any shade of yellow because it will make you look jaundiced in all of the pictures, and for ****'s sake, why would you even consider a pink shirt with her dress? If you're worried that your ensemble is too boring, pick out a good tie and some cufflinks. Take a pic of her dress with you to the store and match it against some ties to find colors that you like that also won't look dumb with her dress. Get one with a pattern, like a light paisley, or at least a little texture to the design. If you're just going to wear a solid color, you may as well save the cash and stick with the black tie you already mentioned. And don't neglect the shoes/belt. The proper accessories can carry an otherwise average look. |
I what you consider your best wedding appropriate combo. Unless you'll be in wedding party photos (you won't) you don't need to know how well your suit goes with her outfit. Frankly, it's a bit gay (or beta) to think about it.
I'd wear a slimfit dark navy suit, a white shirt and whatever tie you like. brown shoes perhaps. and honestly, it may well still be cool in overland park but lose the slim ties -unless you're a member of The Killers, they look stupid. |
If you're going to do the solid black tie, then it should be a cotton tie. Maybe throw a tie bar on if u want to stand out a little.
Although I love rocking my light pink shirt with my grey suit and black tie, the pink shirt might not work that well with jade... probably going to stick with the white shirt. ... and if you decide to wear a navy suit, the cool kids are wearing brown shoes/belt with em |
Quote:
I guess it depends how slim you're talking, tho. 2" is pretty in right now. |
Yeah, I'm not talking pencil-thin. Just skinnier than average, because I don't want to look like I'm borrowing one from the old man's collection. And they are still in style in OP, and KC for that matter. Also, I'm 25, so its not like I'm the 38 year old trying to fit in with the younger crowd: ["So, you guys heard of that new Kings of Leon band?"]
I pull it off just fine. In regards to the "gay/beta" angle, if you had read my post fully, this issue hasn't arisen because I'm trying to impress her. I fart on her, for ****s sake. I am, however, concerned with making her feel as best she can on an important day; the day where her whole trust circle judges her based on me. The same way I wouldn't want her showing up to meet my family whilst wearing a neon tube top, I'd prefer not to look like an asshat in fugly clothing. Hence my post. I'd like to consider all angles before settling. Also, Spatch, I agree... the lighter brown shoe/belt combo looks great with a richly colored blue suit. |
turning up in an asshat wearing fugly clothing does not equal wearing your best outfit without being paranoid about matching her jade dress, and I never suggested it was.
I have to wonder, with CP perhaps not being a bastion of advice on sartorial elegance, whether you didn't just post so we'll all informed as to how stylin you are. If you've got it all figured out... |
Hey Metrosexuals.....I need to know a place in the Kansas City area I can get BRIGHT white casual slacks and a BRIGHT white casual blazer or suit jacket. I do not have time to order off of the internet. I've looked and looked and nobody has 'em. Goin' to Vegas Tuesday for a week and need to look like the biggest toolshed as possible.

Also what do you guys think about these watches. They are just ones made by Guess, but I thought they were pretty cool for the price, around a hundo

bwillie - I'm not wild about the watch, sure it looks fine, but they're pretty damned common.
If you're in that range, you say; go for the worst of the best - with ESQ - they're the same company as Movado, only their lesser tiered answer. Additionally - you may check out American Apparel off of the Plaza. Just watch for 'skinny fit' - try EVERYTHING on there. Do you all have an HM there? that'd be another possibility. Don't forget the Banana Republic, they'll have some cool clothes from time-to-time. If you were here in Atlanta, i'd have more suggestions, but you all don't have the stores I had in mind. |
The tags are great.

www.chronoshark.com has some good watches for around $100 occasionally. If you can wait a couple of weeks they will normally have something on there, a Movado or something similar for around $100.
