I'd have to say I'm an orange and navy blue guy at this moment.

If that's a style you like, there's a higher quality shoe, Mezlans are the shizz. On sale at nearly 1/2 price [$99].

Those look like tuxedo shoes

You're right, though. That is a much better shoe. The one DA posted looks like what every entry level geek with a security badge hanging from his belt loop wears.

All the rage for summer. I'm getting two.

Just picked these up. They're more of a baby blue even though the color says denim. They don't look like denim at all.

LMFAO..

Picked up a pair of Mephisto's and Ecco's today.

http://a2.zassets.com/images/z/1/6/9...-MULTIVIEW.jpg


Anyone own a pair of either brand? I needed a nice casual to smart casual shoe that's durable and comfortable for walking a few miles per day while I'm in Europe.

The black looks good. I hate brown shoes with black soles.

I own a pair of Eccos (different model). If you break them in a bit, they should fit the bill.

Ecco is a quality shoe. I know of noone that has complained about them.

Can vouch for the Ecco's - no idea on the other.

Your Mephisto's look like they belong to a 90 yr. old man. You did bad.

Don't be an ass. Maybe DaKC has DaGout.

Two men in suits? NTTAWWT.

Don't be cruel. Those shoes are well-made and will probably work very well with metal braces coming out of the soles.

Yeah, but they get all the grandma's in a rage.

Wearing the Mephisto's to work today and they have this little 1/4" wide, 1 1/4" long bump on the bottom of the shoe right in the middle where the heel is that is kind of uncomfortable/unsteady on a hard surface. On carpet they're comfortable as hell, but I bought them for walking outdoors and on uneven, cobblestone streets. They will be returned this weekend.

http://a2.zassets.com/images/z/1/9/7...-MULTIVIEW.jpg

Going to try out the Ecco's tomorrow.

I got the Ecco's in both colors, so if they're comfortable tomorrow I'll keep both of them and return the Mephisto's.

http://a1.zassets.com/images/z/1/6/9...-MULTIVIEW.jpg

Eccos are good cormfortable shoes. You probably won't find much better for the style you're after.

Hey yo SR and others...

I'm about down to my final size so it's wardrobe time. I'm not made of money. I need ideas.

SR appears to be banned. That must be who TomSlash was.

Oh and suggestions...Wrangler jeans, t-shirts, flannels and some nice work boots.

Full wardrobe as in casual wear and what not? Also what is your 'style' if you had to pick

Yeah I want some casual stuff and I swear that most the shit on MFA looks ****ing stupid. I don't know how that is in.

Cabelas. Great mens clothes for casual. Khakis are top drawer, mens dress shirts are a steal

I wear these jeans

http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product...tId=cat5920083

http://www.gaudydesigns.com/ae/images/menjeans.jpg

says they're $40 but they go on sale quite a bit in store and online and you can often find them for about $25. Doesn't have to be AE. Boot cut jeans just look good. IMO.

As for Shirt. This is very broad. Depending on what you're in to the most and what you like. I normally just go with a pair of those jeans and a T-shirt. Usually a Nike Dri-fit, Royals shirt. Plus its different because I live in Kansas and you live in California and our climates are much different so obviously styling choices are different but I'll put down a few things and if you like where I'm going ill post more. Pretty much Bro-wear.

Can't go wrong with the Dri-fit. So comfortable and loose, no matter the weight.

http://c-product.images.fansedge.com...22-20774-Y.jpg

I like shopping at Kohls because you can always find something on their many many clearance racks and they carry my Cargo Shorts that I love. Which is another thing. Check out Sonoma Cargo shorts at Kohls. Very comfortable and cheap and they look good.

Also Old navy has some nice clothes that won't break your bank either.

Button up plaids are in right now, and so is layering.

Dri-Fit shirts and jeans? Don't do it. Cargo shorts? Don't do it.

You're right, Jeans are definitely out. Just wear underwear and wife beaters Buck. ROFL

Men's wearhouse

I'm almost now up to that uncomfortable (for me) point in my life where I'm expected to look good each day of my life.

I need business stuff.

I guess I should have gone into further detail. I like my Levi's, I'm pretty set on jeans...I know the style of them I like, but I'd like to wear other pants outside of my house other than Jeans...you know?

Wind pants.

That takes me back to 4th-5th grade. That's all I wore in life. I guess I saw them as a fancier-scaled sweatpant.

Haha...people can hear you coming from a mile away.

Anyone tried Bonobos? Onlinie shopping guaranteeing everything with free shipping both directions, with a one year return policy.

They have concierge services at some higher end retailers, where if you aren't comfortable with online clothing,

Hear about them all the time on Comedy Bang-Bang and Sklarbro Country. Saw a couple pairs of pants a RSO/Cargo Largo, but even with the savings of unclaimed fiieght they were $40-45

Ha, this thread is absolutely hilarious. A bunch of 30-50 year old men from the mid-west giving fashion advice. 1999 called, it would like to have it's Sketchers and cargo pants back please.

Also, the Brooks Brothers links are absolutely ridiculous. $400 for a sweater vest Mmmmmkay! If you can't come out of Target/Ross with a pimp outfit you don't have style and paying 10-20 times as much for a sweater isn't going to change that. It's mostly about being able to match the right colors/style/proper fit, also dressing age appropriate but within current style is important. I am in my 30s so I don't wear skinny jeans and flat-hats, but I do make sure to pay attention to current trends and add pieces that aren't ridiculous.

To the guy who lives in SD who posted the atrocious old man leather boat shoes...WTF dude? You live in Southern Cali... it's Vans, Sperrys, or flip-flops for you son.

Also, REI is only fly in Colorado. That shit won't pass on the coasts. Guys from Colo crack me up, your standard issue black North Face fleece has probably gotten you laid here, but that magical power stops at the state line.

What do people think about driver caps? I like them, but it seems to make a statement that says, I'm trying to be cool.

DaKCMan?

I have one from Banana Republic that I wear pretty often. I have tons of hats, though. I've always been a hat guy, and I'm even more of one since I'm pretty much bald these days.

I'm currently wearing this shirt:

Jeans from J. Crew

These boots:

And this cardigan:
http://www.shopachu.com/c//Men/Tops/...F0bZ30MdRp%5EC

Ecco is about all I wear. If you need a great looking dress show the Helsinki slip ons are the best out there in my opinion.

From a shirt perspective, I would start with a few basics since you are going to need to completely revamp your wardrobe following your weight loss.

Go to J Crew or Gap and get a handful of solid long sleeve t-shirts. Go to Express and get three solid button downs; white, black, and one that matches your eye color. You can wear these with anything from jeans and casual shoes (but don't wear tennis shoes) to a suit and tie. You can start to mix in less generic styles later as money allows, but start with these basics.

For pants, go to Banana Republic and get a couple of pairs of slacks. I don't like khakis much, so I would recommend finding some of the dry clean only styles with the nice linings inside. They're going to run $100-$150, but they last forever and can periodically be found on sale for half that. (Khaki pants don't tend to age well from a construction standpoint, show dirt/stains, and really aren't as versatile as a lot of guys think, so they wind up looking like dorks because they pair them with something gray or black.) One light gray and one charcoal gray pair of dress pants will go a long way.

If you need suits, Banana Republic is good for those, too. Just don't wear your suit pants when you aren't wearing your jacket, or you will wind up having a suit that doesn't quite match over time.

looks like garb for men who like men

I like it all other than the shirt. Not a fan of white buttons on a blue shirt, especially on the collar, and I don't care for pockets on button downs. It works under the sweater, though.

I don't like the top pocket on the cardigan, but I do like it on the shirt.

The fact that you have a pocket over a pocket = OMG! No.

Hah. I just looked down. My shirt actually has black buttons... so that must not be the exact shirt. It's not something I'd normally notice, though. ;)

The shirt is actually kind of a light grey with some hints of blue.

Also, the cardigan isn't that EXACT one either. Mine is navy with some blue trim that matches the blue laces on my boots.

like the shirt and jeans

cardigan looks gay....look like something a european would wear.

I like the pockets.

ROFLROFL

You can't say the shirt pocket when I'm wearing the cardigan.

Bonobos are the bomb. I was going to recommend them for anyone that actually wants to look nice, but if frumpy is your thing this thread is great. LMAO

If you shop there google coupons, lots of 30% off one's pop right up in the first or second result. If you have Nordstrom some of those have a section of Bonobos if you'd like to try them on....

You know how I know you're gay?

Posting in this thread?

Wait...

Mother****ing son of a goatblowing whore.

ROFL

Actually I was looking for a SR sighting and was caught up in the whirlwind.

I stick to fitted button-down shirts from express, polo shirts from express, and long & short sleeve v-neck solid color tees (I have about every color they make) from express, br, or american rag.

I love the fitted Express button downs, but I wish they were just slightly shorter. It's tough to find a button down that is long enough to stay neatly tucked in that doesn't hang too low when untucked over jeans. These work, but they're just a little longer than I'd like.

V-neck t-shirts, though? Really?

You guys are ****ing gay.

You know what I wear all day?

http://favourbrook.com/images/produc...-lapel-114.jpg

I think he's talking about how there is both a lower and upper pocket on the left side of the cardigan.

Hell yes. I realize not everyone looks good in v-necks, but DaKCMan AP rocks 'em.

Lots of people look good in v-necks. Usually it's the same people who look good in lacy panties.

My wife bought me this one V-neck that is the softest freaking thing I've ever worn. Sadly... it's also almost transparent and the V plunges down to between m pecs.

On occasion I'll come sashaying out just before my wife and I go out, pretending like I"m going to wear it out. She always rolls her eyes and sends me back to the the closet to change.

Wear it as an undershirt.

Yes. That's what I do. Usually wear it under sweaters. But I think it's ****ing hilarious to pretend like I'm wearing it out as my only shirt. My wife doesn't think it's very funny, though.

She's wrong.

Eh, since I've already got the ghey on me might as well contribute:

I'm all Ed Hardy, all the time. Jim Isray and John Gosselin are icons.

Ok, seriously, I'm more of a basic items in classic cuts and colors kind of guy for the most part (exception is I've got a pretty large collection of vintage western shirts); I'm not too trendy, but will add a few items each season in a trendy color to mix in. I'm more about the details of making sure I'm simply, but properly accessorized and matched. I just try to avoid looking like the mooks I see regularly in flip-flops and dress pants/button down shirts or people who don't know how to properly match socks and/or shoes to trouser. I'm not usually the best dressed guy in the room, but I try to be presentable.

I usually go middle of the roadish quality (like Banana level) off the rack stuff shirt and trouser wise, I prefer french cuffs for dress shirts (don't wear them much). I'm also v-neck guy when it comes to tees as long as the neck isn't too deep. Crew neck is just too pedestrian because like I said, I wear mostly solids in basic colors. 99% of the time I'm in Vans classic slip-ons.

I do have a pretty big weakness for watches and briefcases, which is where the majority of my "fashion" budget ends up. Honestly, I want to look decent, but I'm more concerned with spending my money on my other hobbies.

I'm just here seeing what the cool kids are up to.

These glasses are dope as **** and I look good in them. Poor lighting.
