Style Thread - Page 144 - University and Student Life Forum

Now that I'm in my mid 20's. I regret having so much abercrombie, american eagle, hollister, aeropostale crap. I should have gone with a more timeless style. More plain clothing. Less graphics and "loud" designs.

But I was young and dumb. Plus everyone else was doing it.

check out express, I'm sure you'll like it

So I need some decent all-around shoes that I can wear around with jeans and a button up. Not Dressy though. I want them on the casual side but something I could wear to a club as well.

Not even sure wear to start honestly. I'm 6'2" white guy, med build.

Suede chukkas, sidezip boots, brogues... Depends on the style you prefer.

What do you guys think about wearing cardigans in a club? This one is very light and has a nice touch (100% virgin wool) so my only concern is style:

Also some questions if it's fine to wear:

1) 5 buttons, i let the first and last open, standard?
2) What pants and shoes would go with the black caridgan / white T combo?

80% of the people downtown where I live have lanyards. They also put zero effort into their appearance. It is pretty horrible.

If it was a suit you'd leave the bottom button open and the top button it would depend on the type of lapels but for most also open. I assume the same applies to cardigans but I haven't worn one since it was required as part of a high school uniform.

I don't have anything against them but they are not appropriate for most of my outings. I also think they look better on people who are tall and slim which I'm not.

haha, I actually thin Cardigans are better suited for smaller people.
Lanky people in a cardigan look weird (reason I cant wear them).

im looking to get a blazer to wear with jeans and dress pants. My dress pants are black, does that mean I need to get a black blazer?

It means you get different dress pants.

Get a navy blazer.

nay

You dont ask if you should buy shoes like this. Either you know you can make an outfit work with them or you know you dont.

Those look extremely ugly though.

Agree with Spurious. Shoes like that require a certain level of style and if you are uncertain then you don't have it.

which is better black or dark brown leather jacket?

I'd like something as versatile as possible

Dark brown will be more versatile than black.

I think the opposite is true. Not to mention black leather just looks better. I think you will have a hard time matching a brown leather jacket with as many outfits as you can match a black one to.

Style of jacket would be a factor. Are we talking 3/4 length or bomber style?

Indochino suit came last Thursday. Everything fit well except the dress shirt. It's almost unwearable. Neck is choking tight, feel like my biceps will explode out of the shirt and it barely extends past my belt.

Suit is very nice. Happy with it.

I agree black leather looks better than brown in general. I find brown much more versatile than black though, maybe that's just my wardrobe/personal preference.
