Go hunt and skin your own kangaroo for free. It's a win-win.

 

I'd highly recommend Oakley's Frogskin sunglasses, a got a pair a few months back, and I absolutely love them.

Those're the style I'm looking at getting, 'cept that exact model look kinda...flimsy? Probably just the images...

I don't think I'd call them flimsy as much as I say they're just flexible and that's because they're made out of a really light plastic material but they're very durable and they feel very solid.

So I'm in dire need of a haircut because my long hair is just getting in the way and being a pain to maintain.

However I have no clue what style I should go with, beyond the fact that i want it chin length or shorter.

Also my hair is normally never that neat. It's naturally prone to fraying, loose ends, and general messyness. To the point that when it'slong like this even constant combing can't help.

So, any advice? [/hide]

You need at least some hair on your forehead.

here we go:

 

EDIT: When did image hosting get so finicky? Its skrillex

Bought a pair of these. Really nice shoes IMO, have a different colour pair of Hush Puppies as well, but wanted black

 

 

EDIT: [bleep]ing images, it's just the shoes

Ordering myself a custom tailored brown pin-stripped suit for $180 in a month for casual and work-related situations. Just thought I'd like a different colour besides Black/Charcoal, and brown is still a acceptable colour.

 

Like so:

Hold the phone!

a) 180$ for a suit is cheap. What company is this? Done any research on them? Some of these custom garments come out really awful.

b) Brown is an appropriate color, but you're much better off starting with gray or navy, without a pattern. Black is a no-no.

c) Two buttons, not three, unless it's 3/2 roll (top button not functional, rolls as part of the lapel). This guy doesn't have enough shirt space.

d) That belt at the back of the jacket is not what you want for one of your first suit. Keep it simple.

e) Don't wear a suit in casual situations. Not until you've built your wardrobe enough, and even then, be careful. No sneakers allowed. Keep money around for shoes. Really basic ones. Brown or black oxfords, brown derbies are good too. You'll also need a shirt or two.

Got me my first raw jeans, for a try. H&M Classics, insane price of just $25. Regular blue ones. There is no way I am going to buy these recommended Sliq's, since they are way too tight around my feet and make me look taller than I am. And I am 2 metres tall so it is the opposite of what I want. They are a wee bit short to me, but I read that they stretch a bit when moistened.

Got shirts, there's 4 buttons on the top, and I have shoes to go.

 

and doesn't have the belt on the back.

I can't tell you if that's too much or too little, but the middle button (or top if there are two) should be at your belly-button. If you can invest in a good pair of shoes (scroll), do it.

I should note thats a rough image of the suit, also that's not me in it ;)

I know, just letting you know. The MTM/"bespoke"/bespoke clothing market is booming at the moment but it's mostly shit. Suitsupply is the lowest I've seen recommended, and that was a 500$ suit. 180$ is not a lot for a suit. It's not even a lot for a sport coat. You really will get what you pay for.

Will he actually get it? That is the question...

Hopefully he'll save his money, rather than purchasing what will likely be an abomination.

Suit sale at David Jones, Tim. Can get a nice one for around $1,200

I'm not spending $1,200 for a casual-based suit that's originally intended for cosplaying.

It's for cosplaying? Should have said so before!

[Edit] Wait. It isn't it, is it?

I just. What. No. If you want a suit for cosplaying just go to thrifting.

I think he can do whatever he wants with his money, but he said casual/work...

Can you be a pro cosplayer? Like shiny said, go second hand hunting.

I don't think he's listening anymore...

I'm gonna hit up Value Village once I get home and look for some random-ass tees!

 

And I'll probably look for some funky dress shirts that I can button up all the way. My neck is pretty big, though. :\

You can get extensions if they don't fit your neck but they're good in the chest and sleeve. In my experience thrift shops have more of the bigger sizes than anything else though...

I know it's pretty basic, but are there any little things I can do to improve this? Sorry I'm drinking soda and I look [bleep]ing stupid, but posting it here was an afterthought. Oh and it's an oxford shirt, webcam made it look kinda dressy.
