The classiest I've ever looked is in my Barbie undergarments.

Where to cop?

Yes: they're noticeably heavier, tougher, and they do a better job of shielding your eyes. And there's a decal on the lens. I've read you can remove it with a penny, if you consider your face to be off-limits for advertisements.

 

Yeah they are. I had to get my prescription lenses put into them. At least that stops little kids wanting to try them on. I got the New Wayfarer model because they fit my face better. The original has a tilt, and its that tilt which make them awkward on their face. Knock-offs don't have any tilt, surprisingly.

The new Wayfarers were designed in 2001, that's why the knock-offs have had time to catch up :P

I prefer the no-tilt style, the tilted makes my face feel weird.

The tilted style are the originals. They look boss, but again, the tilt sits oddly on my face.

Suddenly, french cuffs. Jackthreads is selling Arbitrage dress shirts 50% off. That comes around to 70$. Sizes run XS-XL. They also have some ties but they're not really worth buying.

Hurraaaaay!

Are you buying one, Lent?

No suh! Just glad that folk are enjoying the french cuffs. I may have a job soon, though, fellers. Then my closet will be looking quite fly! Quite fly indeed ...

Oh, I still don't like them, regardless of the formality. I just figured people might want to know.

I want some french cuff shirts, but I don't have any money currently.

I'm not sure this happens everywhere but: once a year there's this Asian guy who goes around Montreal universities selling custom fitted dress shirts. The variety this guy has is incredible, and each shirt bought is about half the price you'd find in stores and has greater material quality. My brother bought something like five shirts off him for 200$ CDN and got them four months later and the stuff is sweeeeeet. You can pretty much design your own shirt, give him a few bucks and he'll make it for you.

 

So yeah, I'd ask around if there's someone doing this in your city because it saves tons of cash.

I really can't wait to live in Montreal. Do you have any means of contacting this guy?

I have these trousers which I bought in a sale a while ago, what can I match them up with?

The picture you posted is a pretty good hint. Brown shoes, brown belt, white shirt :P

But in a more causal situation?...

I can't load the page because the site keeps taking me to the US website but anything can be worn casually just depends what your comfortable with, basically it comes down to changing your perception of casual. I'm also sure by brown shoes he's not referring particularly to dress shoes but maybe a nice pair of leather shoes for more day to day wear. If you even want to make it more casual, a nice pair of vans or converses with a plain tshirt would do probably.

Open the top button, roll, the sleeves or add a v-neck on top... dress it down.

So I'm starting to prepare a more classy college wardrobe currently a Senior in High School, and I'm curious about some of the "Timeless" pieces that people talk about. And also, how can I be a little "Risky?" I prefer well fit items (by well fit I mean not super large/baggy, not suffocatingly tight).

- I have a wide set body type

- For a rough estimate a Loose medium shirt, or a tighter large shirt, size 34 pants, shoes size 10 - 10 1/2

 

I'm thinking along the lines of getting some items like:

- Black and Brown dress shoes

- Black and Grey Dress Pants

- Nicely fitting Khaki's

- Multiple pairs of Dark Jeans (Live near an outlet place, get like $60 Nauticas for $20 :D)

- Lighter colored Jeans

- A Pair of white Pants

- More solid colored shirts

- A Cardigan is a big thing on my list

 

Any help?

Sorry for late reply but no I don't. I also haven't talked to my brother in 2 months soooo no news here.

Not bad. What are you looking for now? You have all the basics of a classic young man's wardrobe on that list, really. Blazers, of course. Some ties. Pocket squares. Just try new things. If you want to try bow ties (which I adore), try 'em. Or, if you like the look of a flower in one's lapel, go for it (although you'll need to have a tailor help you out - modern jackets were not built for boutonnieres).

 

My favorite classics website, which doesn't ignore the modern world: atailoredsuit.com

 

They're technically a website that sells custom-made clothing. But Antonio writes for Art of Manliness and there is a lot of information on that site.

To be honest, I would scrap getting a cardigan, and instead get a lovely knit jumper. I find male cardigans extremely feminine.

Only if they're tight. I have one and I hate wearing it, but I have a chunkier black one and it's pretty manly. It's in the details (buttons, collar, etc). Besides, Lord Cardigan was a man.

 

Scorchedddd, I wouldn't get all dress shoes. Get some casual kicks. Don't worry about being risky.

If I was him, I'd get one pair of black dress shoes and some casual kicks as opposed to two pairs.

Brown's more versatile.
