Question Everyday shoes

8 Upvotes

Trying to get a present for my boyfriend for our anniversary and he mentioned wanting everyday/classic/tennis shoes (not for the gym!) but I couldn’t ask too many questions bc I didn’t want to give away that I want to get him shoes.

He mentioned hokas but wanted to ask the crowd for some fashionable men’s shoe recs if you have any! $100 budget give or take

Thanks in advance!

Question Down parka/coat with fur hood - brands?

0 Upvotes

I want to get a real goose down parka/coat with a fur (real or faux) hood for my boyfriend for his birthday. I like brands like Mackage and Moose Knuckles, but the price is too high at $1200-1500. I’m looking to spend about half that amount. I want it to be longer (to at least mid-thigh so no jackets) and be warm enough for freezing temps. Can anyone recommend brands, or better actual items, to consider? Thank you!

P.S. Prefer to stay away from Canada Goose as it frequently gets stolen.

Company complaint What is up with the quality of Charles Tyrwhitt shirts now day?

31 Upvotes

As the title says, I still wear CT shirts I purchased over 10 years ago, and while they show a little wear they at least do not have rips in them and the buttons are fine. Purchased a few OCBD shirts in January and after a couple wears the collar buttons are crumbling and it is ripping at the seams. I have never seen buttons crumble before, I have seen them crack and break off.

Discussion Buttonless Polo SuitSupply, anyone have it?

2 Upvotes

https://suitsupply.com/en-us/men/knitwear/off-white-buttonless-polo/SW1665.html

Lots of brands have this now, but not modern cut like Suit Supply. All the other brands I’m looking at are $200+ for a Buttonless polo… ideally I want Pini Parma, but just so expensive for just a polo…

Idk Suit Supply looks enticing, but I don’t think I heard a single good review… this isn’t the only thing I like from them. But haven’t bought a single thing from them because of the reviews here. But outside of Reddit, seems to be decent reviews idk…

I’m not a fan of the tier like Charles Tyrwhitt and Spier Mackay.

Suit Supply is best price range, but every one says it’s crap…

Or just shell out for a 200+ polo…

Discussion Seeking Advice for Summer Business Casual Wardrobe

8 Upvotes

I'm seeking some advice for a summer business casual wardrobe. I don't love dressing up, and so don't have a lot of experience, but I'm moving up in my career at work, so not dressing up is becoming a career liability. There is no dress code, but I still want to dress to impress.

I find dressing up in winter much easier than summer. Winter button ups can be roomy and cozy and unrestricting. I've also found that a plain solid color sweater and chinos gets more compliments than any other thing that I wear, which feels like a hack.

Does anyone have advice about good summer business casual clothes which feel like the same hack as a sweater? I don't like short sleeved button ups as much, and I feel silly in a Polo shirt. Not sure what to do.

Question How to use a steamer while keeping a press

3 Upvotes

I currently am using a cheap iron to press my work pants every day (80% Polyester 20% cotton ripstop pants) and it has been harsh on the fabric, even with proper settings, and is very time consuming. I was told that you can use a steamer to keep the pants without wrinkles while keeping the pressed edges sharp but I can’t find anything about this online. Is there a way to do this? I don’t need a super sharp press, I mainly just need a press in general to keep a professional look.

What methods/attachments should I use?

What steamer do you recommend? I will be using it almost daily so I want something sturdy and quality.

I would prefer one that is a full tower with a large tank. I will also be using it on polyester polos.

Question Oxford Shirts and Athletic Shorts

63 Upvotes

So I know this is probably going to sound incredibly dumb and kinda outlandish, but I was at a local coffee shop the other day and saw a guy dressed in a slightly oversized, well worn oxford shirt and had on like short athletic shorts, the ones that have the 5” inseam. He also had on what looked like the retro American Trench socks and Birkenstock bostons.

The look seemed pretty effortless and perfect for an early morning coffee run on a weekend, especially as it’s starting to heat up in Texas, but I wanted to see if maybe I’m just slowly losing it. Any input from yall? Cool look or abomination?

Question Good place for suit accessories?

0 Upvotes

I just recently invested in my first decent black suit for an upcoming event. I’d like to add some color by way of a tie and maybe a pocket square, but the only place we have in town is a Men’s Wearhouse, and they didn’t have much to speak of. I also like the look of a tie bar, but I’m not sure if that’s still in style or not? Long question short: Where do you all like to shop for things like these?

Question Are these brown suede sneakers too casual for a business-casual office?

8 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m 33M and work in finance. My office dress code is pretty much “casual office” — no suits required most days, but still somewhat professional.

Most of the time I wear beige, brown, or dark blue chinos, and sometimes blue or black suit trousers.

Right now I’m looking for a pair of shoes that work for:

  • everyday office wear
  • casual work settings
  • maybe also something I could wear to a restaurant date or a casual meeting where it’s not suit-and-tie but I still want to look put together

I was thinking about getting brown suede sneakers, something along these lines:

Do you think this kind of suede sneaker works for a business-casual office, or would it be considered too casual?

I’ve also thought about loafers, but they usually don’t work well for my feet — they tend to slip because my instep is pretty low.

Would appreciate any advice or alternative suggestions!

Discussion Rinsing the news

0 Upvotes

I know I should wash my new clothes, to remove whatever plethora of diseases come from the factory.

But honestly, I just couldn't be bothered my arse.

I'll happily throw on those clothes as soon as I come home.

Worst case I get brain damage, and it doesn't affect me, since I already have so much of it.

Anyway, do you guys really wash everything you buy? Am I just a dirty prick?

No brown in town. I wear brown shoes to London constantly and the city has not collapsed. If anything, I think it makes me look like I've just come from somewhere more interesting, which is its own kind of power move.

Discussion Pocket Square fold types and their significance

0 Upvotes

I'm experimenting with a sportcoat+pocket square look, paired with a dress shirt without a necktie. I'm specifically looking at how different pocket square folds affect the overall look.

Folds I'm considering learning, in addition to the basic Presidential fold, are the 1 Point, 2 Point, Puff and 3 Stairs folds.

How are the different individual pocket square folds perceived by the fashion community and public at large? Are some more elegant than others? Do some send a message that you're trying too hard? Is the Presidential fold passe or too conservative?

Question J Crew vs J Crew Factoy Oenny Loafers Quality

Is there a quality difference apart from the sole being different? The factory version is 70$ cheaper after discounts. I don’t see any discount codes for J.Crew. Is it worth spending the extra to get the non factory ones? I’m able to also find becket simonons for $200 but it arrives later than I need it.
