black shirt and red shirt make you look bad ass & attractive... the others I don't really like (especially that flowery shirt - what where you thinking buying a shirt like that???)

I like all of them except for the pocket T ones. That shirt just doesn't fit you as well as the other shirts do. I differ in opinion, that flower shirt looks good to me, just remember you have to have the attitude to rock the clothes you wear.

I think the jeans on "stylish shirt" could fit you better especially in the butt (no homo).

I have a lot of trouble finding jeans that fit me as well (I inherited my dad's flat ass) and have the same problem.

I like most of the shirts for the most part but you might want to try layering for a more stylish eye appeal and "pop". For example sine we're white black shirts look good on us as a good contrast so I like to where a fitted black V-neck t-shirt with a button up (unbuttoned) under your "stylish shirt" or the "red shirt". I'm not an expert and don't get too many comments on my style but Chase talks about this in his article on style and I have to say it makes me look more stylish than when I don't follow the tips he outlines.

Anyway my 2 cents Lucifer, good luck!

Hey man,

if you don't mind I'd like to give some feedback as well.

In my opinion, the red and the black shirt are pretty cool! Whether or not you tuck your shirt in is of course personal preference, but did you ever try not tucking it in? It may be too long if you don't, but a quick trip to the tailor to get it tailored just below belt level will do the trick. In my opinion, not-tucked-in-shirts look even better (and you can still do a half tuck if you want to show off your belt).

Your belts are superb in my opinion!

Jeans are good as well, but I would suggest getting them a bit more fitted around the ankles. Combine that with some Chelsea boots (which I think would look pretty badass on you with that outfit) and you'll rock the streets --> see below for a picture of what I mean regarding jeans and boots (although jeans don't need to be quite as tight if you prefer it a bit looser)

fly_blk_chelsea_bootxl.jpg


I find shoes to be the most important thing of an entire outfit, and even though you can get boots pretty much everywhere, not many men wear it (let alone wear correctly with a corresponding outfit) and if you do it it instantly gives you a more masculine and "different than average" look.

The flower shirt is a bit tricky in my opinion, you definitely need the right attitude for this one as mentioned already.
The white shirt I find a bit too "nice", not really sure how to describe it in a better way.
The t-shirt, chino (at least I guess that's a chino) and scarf combination is pretty cool already, but I feel like there's some standout piece in an eyegrabbing color missing.

That's my two cents, cheers man!


EDIT:

I think James Marshall's style would suit you pretty damn well, just a quick thought.

my personal take - i like the red shirt/black shirt with jeans, however if i were wearing them I wouldn't tuck the shirt in, I think it looks too... serious almost, i prefer the casual untucked shirt, but that's just me. apart from that those two outfits are pretty cool.

the flowery shirt makes you look a bit limp wristed

the t shirt outfits, i don't like the way you match them with light pastel colours, not my thing at all.

I don't think you can look at just clothes as outfits. you need to take everything into account.
1. skin color and hair color
2.situation
3.comfort
4.fashion/look

visit http://www.styleforum.net/ and get a look at real dapper Mother fuckers. and soak it in.

personally I think you would look good in colors you have pale skin, stay away from blacks and darks. it will suck the color out of you.
black shoes = "no no" in my book only for funerals and black tie affairs. go with brown or light brown tan. and rock dress shoes whenever possible im not a fan of plain shoes or vans like you have on. looks childish. your an alpha why would you wear kids shoes??
you appear to be a slim guy get your shirts tailored. you look like you have some shirt puff and the arms look like your swimming in them.
that belt is to big for your frame, the belt makes you look even smaller.

I personally hate short sleeve shirts. get an long sleeve shirt and roll the sleeves up much more versatile not to mention you can throw on a tie or bowtie this will save you $$ in the long run also.
button up your shirt or shave your chest. you don't have a "muscular chest" I would cover that up its not flattering imo.

here are some of my outfits. granted, this is more business style, but I can drop the tie and rock the jacket and shirt and pocket square. I prefer day game and a higher caliber career women. if you are going for club scene and "party girls" then you can wear a black v neck and jeans and some colorful shoes and have at it outfits are based on situation/event etc.

http://www.styleforum.net/g/i/1310560/a ... lay_order/

not trying to be negative by any means. but I would not wear any of those outfits. you look "ok". but i think you would look way better in a slim fit suit in grey or navy with some tan monk strap shoes and pocket square and tie. you can always lose the tie and just have a PS. try this look and see the results. and hell you will be the only dude in suit at the club. you will stand out and be an anomaly in a good way! people will stare but fuck them your an alpha who cares what they think.

some nice, not very expensive suits that are slim fit "$90" rock this shit and see what happens. you will drop $90 at the bar anyways.

In my opinion whole suits make you look classy, elegant and wealthy, thus perfect boyfriend or even husband material. Also it might be hard to pull it off during the day and not looking try-hard. Better ditch the suit pants for jeans and the dress shoes for more casual boots. But yeah, it's very much connected to the attitude you bring across, with the right attitude you can pull of (almost) everything.

during the day would be the best time to wear a suit (work attire). a suit can show power, sexiness and class. all things that women want in a lover? boyfriend and husband material comes down to how you act and treat the women. paying for dates being a provider etc.

suits can be dressed down. jeans instead of suit pants, no tie etc. whats try hard about it? he is wearing the same thing plus a jacket? and the jacket will make him look better, give him bigger shoulders and taper the waist to make him into a V shape. by doing this he is following Law of Least Effort minimal input, maximum output! he adds a jacket and I'm sure he will be received more warmly by women. or maybe I'm wrong as I sometimes am.
 
the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

Yeah, if he goes for jeans instead of suit pants, that's basically what I meant. I simply personally feel that a whole suit, even without a tie, can sometimes be too much during the day. Just the jacket though is fine of course.

sure, to each and their own. most people are not comfortable in suit and tie. but he will turn some heads in a full suit for sure. you just gotta be comfortable wearing it and have some swag about you to pull it off. it certainly wouldn't hurt him, and would be an improvement over what he has on in these pictures. but without knowing what occasion he is going for its hard to give an 100% accurate opinion

Fit is king. Whatever you decide to wear, always make sure you get the right fit. Get a stylish girl-friend to help you out, go to a tailor, find someone who is knowledgable about these things and get feedback in person. Even a good quality, high end shirt, or pair of pants will look poorly on you, if you don't get the right fit. A few guidelines…


Dress shirts/ Button ups:
-There should be no extra fabric in the back when you tuck in your shirt. No ballooning, or "parachute" look.
-If the shirt falls below your ass, it is meant to be tucked in, and not a casual-style shirt. It should fall just below your ass, otherwise the shirt is too long for you, period. If the shirt comes above your ass, it is a casual button up. You do not tuck these in. Conversely, if it does not fall below your belt line at least a few inches, it is too short -- not your size.
-The armholes of the shirt should be neither loose nor too tight. The fabric should meet where the edge of your shoulders are -- the tops of the shirt should not fall short, nor overshoot the edge of your natural shoulder line. This indicates a poor size fit.

Pants
-Try to find a pair of pants that taper.
-You should only be able to tuck two fingers in between your waist and your pants --- otherwise the waist size is too small or too big.
-Wear fitted pants. The right inseams are important. Jeans can be a little bit longer, but should not be "drowning" at your ankles. Dress pants should be a tad shorter, maybe 1-2 inches shorter than your true inseam.


As an aside, if you're not already, I highly recommend that you start lifting. Improving your physique will help you fill out your clothes better, and your clothes will highlight your frame, instead of hiding it.

spot on!
for some of the other guys, go on ebay! I picked up some allen edmonds white wingtips for $25 and they are new with some black scuffs (display model) that the shoe shop cleaned off for $8- $200 shoes for under $40!

How do you get the jeans more fitted around the ankle? You mean shorter?

Boots, yeah, really don't know much about them, I supposed Chelsea is a brand and not a model? Also OK on jeans?

About the brown shoes, wouldn't they stand out "unmatched" with nothing else brown on you?
About the belt, you mean the leather one I guess, the other one being ok? Thinner leather one might work then?

SUITS (VS STARTUPS)
About the suits, I have many of them and very nicely slim fit. I used to wear and like them a lot, but working in a start up you really stand out... A bit (way) too much. When the difference between you and the people around you is too big you stand out like a sore thumb.
It's OK for most office jobs and I'd really enjoy wearing a suit a couple days a week but in a start up you really don't fit in with suits and a tie, and you risk looking as if you want to build a wall between you and the ones around you (I know, ppl dress informally in start ups also to convey an "open minded" attitude but they're not open minded at all towards those who want to wear a damn suit, but that's how it is.. ).

I do wear suit jackets quite often though, I'm going to add up more pics on the slightly "smarter" attires I use for some more feedback.

About buttoning up the shirt and/or shaving, that's a big topic, deserves a post on its own!

CHEST HAIR

What do you guys think of the unbottened shirt when you've got chest hair?
For me being small and thin it's always been a bit of a way of saying "I'm not a boy".

I think it's a bit of a "polarizer", few people(girls) don't have an opinion with some that tend to like it a lot and some that tend to dislike it a lot.
In my experience it tends to be more on the "like it", but of course it can be a biased experience and still it might be too much when popping out from a shirt during daytime.

Opinions?

I can't tell for sure from the photos, but I guess if you just take them to the tailor and say you want it more fitted (i.e. tighter around the ankles and maybe also a bit shorter) chances are he knows exactly what to do.
Boots and Jeans work well in my opinion, as you can see in the James Marshall video in my first post (this guy is also slim + rocks chest hair like a boss!). Also, I don't see a problem with black shoes at all, granted however that dark brown ones are more versatile in general.

Regarding suits again, I feel the same way as you do about this. During the day it can just be "too much", suit jackets or blazers added to otherwise casual outfits however are a great way to step it up a notch!

GC isnt the best place for style advice in my opinion. basic do and donts around the "fashion world" for a dapper look.

basic rules/principles that can "guide" you. remember All style is relative. Some people will disagree with what is good style, I would most likely disagree with them on what they think is good style. As you can imagine, this results in a situation in which there is no single list of men’s dress rules that are comprehensive and absolute. There are some rules that are immutable, such as the one that a man should match the metal of the bit on his loafer with the buckle on his belt with the metal on his suspenders with the buttons on his blazer with the metal of his cufflinks. Then there are some rules that have exceptions, such as the rule that a man’s socks should match the color of his pants. these rules are derived from a variety of sources including tradition, classic rules of men’s dress, common sense and personal taste.
1. Thou shall match the metal of the bit on his loafers, belt buckle, suspenders, blazer buttons and cufflinks.
2. Thou need not match the metal on his watch with the other metals he is wearing, however, it is preferable.
3. Thou can wear black shoes with a navy suit/pants.
4. Thou shall only wear black, brown or oxblood (burgundy) leather shoes for business dress. The only exceptions allowed are white bucks. Blue, green or any other colored shoes are inappropriate.
5. White bucks are badass.
6. Thou shall match the color of his socks with the color of his pants. As an exception, socks can be matched to something worn above the waist such as a man’s shirt, tie, pocket square or suspenders (braces in the UK).
7. Thou shall match the color of his belt to that of his shoes. This holds true in all situations except when wearing white bucks.
8. Thou need not match the leather on his watchband with that of his shoes and belt, however, it is preferable.
9. Thou shall wear a belt when wearing pants with belt loops.
10. Thou shall never, ever, ever use their belt to hold accessories like beepers, phones, Blackberrys, ID tags and/or keys.
11. If pants do not have belt loops they should have side tabs and/or buttons for use with suspenders (braces).
12. Thou shall never wear a tie and pocket square of the same pattern. The sports commentators who do so look like fools.
13. Thou shall not wear a French cuff (double cuff) shirt without a jacket.
14. Thou shall always doubt salespeople and in-store tailors opinions on fashion, style and fit. The stores they work for pay them, not you. Their motives are to sell products to who will buy them, not necessarily to who will look best in them.
15. Thou shall not wear slip on shoes with a suit. In fact, they should be avoided.
16. Thou can wear loafers with a suit, however, this is mostly practiced in America.
17. Loafers are badass, especially those with bits or tassels.
18. Thou shall not wear flat toe/square toe shoes. They should be avoided like the plague. They are cancerous to a man’s wardrobe. They are aesthetically offensive. Their sole purpose lies in showing men what not to wear. Money spent on these would have been better spent on Enron stock circa June 2000.
19. Thou shall only wear patent leather shoes for black tie (semi-formal) and white-tie (formal) occasions. Patent leather is never acceptable to be worn in a dress or causal setting.
20. Thou shall never wear a long necktie for a semi-formal (black tie) affair, even if that tie is solid black.
21. Thou can wear brown suede shoes for business dress. They are elegant and gentlemanly.
22. Brown suede shoes are badass.
23. Thou shall not wear Chesterfield coats, which are typically signified by a velvet collar, with anything of less formality than a suit. They should not be worn with business casual attire.
24. Thou shall not wear a tie without a jacket. If done so, he will run the risk of looking like a waiter at TGI Fridays.
25. Thou shall not wear suspenders (braces) without a jacket. Sorry hipsters.
26. Thou shall only wear suspenders (braces) that utilize buttons, not clips. Again, sorry hipsters.
27. Thou shall not wear a crew neck undershirt when the top button of a shirt is left unbuttoned. When leaving the top button unbuttoned thou shall wear a v-neck undershirt as The Dude does. The Dude abides.
28. Thou can wear brown suits for business dress.
29. Thou shall only wear shirts with white collars and white cuffs with a jacket. These shirts should not be part of a business casual wardrobe, that is, one where suits are not utilized.
30. Thou shall leave the bottom button of vest (waistcoat) unbuttoned. Except when wearing a double breasted or flat bottomed vest, in which case the bottom button should remain buttoned.
31. Thou should iron the collar of a shirt before wearing it. Creased collars caused by dry cleaning and hanging do not follow the natural circularity of one’s neck.
32. Thou shall utilize a pocket square when wearing a jacket.[1]
33. Pocket squares are underrated, underutilized and most importantly they are badass.
34. Thou shall not wear a back pack/book bag when in business dress, especially when in a suit. Book bags are reserved for casual wear and students.
35. Thou shall not wear a shirt with any type of logo on it in a business setting, including when in business casual dress. These shirts should be reserved for casual wear.
36. Thou shall wear a tie bar at a slant, not horizontal.[2]
37. Off color shirts with a white collar should have French (double) cuffs, regardless of whether of not the cuffs are white or the same color or pattern as the shirt.
38. Life is more fun in a tuxedo (dinner jacket).
39. Thou shall never button all three buttons of a three button jacket. Sometimes the top, always the middle and never ever ever the bottom.
40. Thou shall wear over the calf socks as opposed to crew socks whenever possible. For they are far superior in both form and function.
41. Thou shall not wear a solid black suit for business or professional activities. Save it for formal events and funerals.
42. Style is a state of mind.
43. It is impossible for a man to be considered well dressed if his shoes are in poor taste or of noticeably poor quality. For any good ensemble is built on a fine pair of shoes.
44. Thou shall not wear sport sunglasses with a suit. It’s like wearing socks with sandals; everyone else knows its wrong, why don’t you?
45. Thou shall not wear a sports watch with a suit. It would be like playing lacrosse in dress shoes, and no one wants to see that.
46. There should be no presence of logo or branding when wearing a suit. For example, do not wear a Polo shirt with the Polo logo on it under a suit jacket or a Burberry tie with the Burberry tartan (although the scarfs are fine). The emphasis of a suit should be the fit, not the brands it is worn with.
47. It is better to be overdressed than under dressed.
48. A man need not an excuse to wear a tie or jacket. In other words, a man need not an excuse to dress up. Despite the fact that in today’s society it seems he does need one.
49. Never, ever, ever wear a black dress shirt with a suit (or a dinner jacket/tuxedo for that matter). Just because they may be or may have been ‘on trend’ does not mean one will ever look good on you.

just like learning PU, read up on do and donts etc. build your wardrobe and create your own style (you don't need to reinvent the wheel). because at the end of the day, that's all that matters. what you think and how feel. you know the situations you are going to be in IE club,bar,day game,mall. dress accordingly. different areas have different styles also. I live in Charleston SC and the attire here is more formal as Orlando is much more "clubber style" hope this helps you or at least expand your mental model on attire. find a celebrity whose style you would like to emulate also helps.

Don't know why but you look too nice to me. Maybe a baseball hat, a dog tag and a pair of black and white NB 574 would make you more badass/gangster/intimidating/masculine. And why you tuck your shirts? Also the way you pose your arms doesn't seem right: why your forearms bend outwards and your upper arms stick close to your body? The one with the arms straight down looks much better/masculine to me.The tattoo is nice/masculine though.

Black and red shirts excellent with those jeans and belt, but better shoes. My style, I didn't even know that someone else wears that kind of red shirt. I noticed though that some people including girls don't really like the red shirt, who knows why, maybe it is too irritating and bold, but the important thing is that you like it. Who cares if they don't.

Flower shirt - look like a faggot

Black and white - look like a sailor (hanging too long around males only, faggot desires - should you ask??)

Brownish outfits - too casual, too cheap

Scarf - nope, too girlish, weak, fancy (unless you want to make that impression to weaken up your toughness)

Chest hair - good but maybe too open and too confident, use one more button. You don't want to signal too much, not unless you can pull her in the bed really fast. If not she will get disappointed quickly and there you go, rejection without knowing why...

Good body language, just work little bit more on relaxation, you are signaling too much, you don't want to "pose". If you pose she knows that you are too aware of your body language thus she knows you are out for seduction, and unless you have really good skills - there she goes... she's gone and won't even reply to your messages begging for date because she knows you are an amateur... Relax...
