I want to wear Stan Smiths as we're both USC alums and I play tennis, but the instep on them just didn't match with my foot.

Have you tried the SS Boosts?  Fit is nothing like the original Smiths.  

 

[Andrew74]

Time to move on from the pocket squares guys.  Played out at this point.  

Blasphemy. They'll never be out of style.

Commmon Projects and Lanvin?  You remind me of a Yung Major circa 2009.  You should also check for Givenchy and YSL.  They're making some nice sneakers nowadays.  Big fan of these:  http://www.barneys.com/product/givenchy-new-urban-street-leather-sneakers-504882054.html

If you lads are on a budget, the Adidas Stan Smith Boosts are gold.  Prime knit and comfortable af:  http://www.adidas.com/us/stan-smith-boost-primeknit-shoes/BB0012.html

Yeah, those aren't the Boosts I linked earlier homey.   Once you go Boost, you never go back.  So f'n comfortable.

I do need to get a boot cover for the rainy season, and was surprised to find scores of colors and styles online. We'll be going basic black.

In the market for some new casual shoes for work.  Thinking about pulling the trigger on these: https://www.undandy.com/en/48-by-pierce/

What kind of shoes yall wearing to work?  

 

[Tiger Fan]

pleated pants are next.....

seeing this trend kick up with women's clothes.  Guys are next. :X

 

[MarvinTScamper]

#### that 

pleated pants never went out.  They just became LESS popular.  Some things never change, they just move back and forward in the eyes of the fad conscious 

 

[mr. furley]

Simple white button down long sleeve cotton shirt.  Light grey pants. Medium blue linen coat.  White cotton pocket square.  Brown belt/loafers.  No socks. 

no tie?

 

[the moops]

very, very incorrect

 

[MarvinTScamper]

dude, you can find them all over the place, all the time.  Like I said, they moved to back burner, they didn't go extinct.

So, just to be clear, stuff that you can find all over the place is by definition "in"?

What I'm saying is, they sell ugly #### that isn't "in" all the time, everywhere.   If I need to post a pic of Wal*Mart's men's section, or the Gap, I will, so help me GOD YOU SON OF A #####!!!!

you get that seersucker suit tailored yet?

This.  I have been seeing pleats make a comeback the past few years tho.  There isn't a steadfast rule that you must wear flats anymore.  I still wear flats but could see myself procuring these in the near future:  https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/mens/tom_ford/pleated-linen-trousers/820632?

yeah- been seeing them here and there the last couple on more "designery" type guys... and usually exaggerated so there's no confusion that they're not being avant-garde. lol- googled it just now, and there's something from GQ from 2015 talking about how it was popping up on the runways.

look- you'll now it's safe to wear pleats again when otis comes barking back in here in a couple years talking about it.

along with pleats, I'm wondering about cuffs... anybody seeing these again?

 

[Da Guru]

It is always revolving. It  has to or people would never buy new clothes and change style. A couple years ago 75% of men probably did not own a pair of brown shoes let alone wear them with a blue or black suit.

A few years back everybody was laughing at double breasted suits but now they are hot again.  In a couple of years I will be looking at pictures of me in a too short skinny suit and saying "Did I really wear that"

 

[ren hoek]

Over there hatin' 

I gather you're not a fan?  I wear black/navy AE khakis to work with a tucked in button-up or nice polo shirt.  There's no real dress code here other than 'Sundey best.'  What kind of shoes would you suggest for nice casual?

I work near the border and often outside.

May I recommend shifting from khakis to chinos? You'll still be comfortable but look way better.

 

[EYLive]

Correct. I still see guys with big butts and thighs wear them all the time. Sometimes you just gotta wear what fits.

First pleats, then cuffs. LOL.  Now all I need is 3 button suits to come back so I can dust my late 90s purchases out of the closet.

you know it's all coming at some point....it's not like we get a lot to work with. pleats/flat. cuffs/none. slim/baggy. etc.

wife and I ordered in chinese the other night from a new place, I thought it was crap. she felt like it all tastes the same, but I said its basically the same as a guy's shirt... buttons, sleeves, collar... not much variation overall, but there's enough in the details to make a huge difference between general tsos and general nausea.

so true.

That said, tuxedos are black.  No other suit should be black.  Yep, I said it (that's opinion, but a damn refined-years-of-selling-clothes-reading-####-and-wearing-high-end-clothes opinion.)

cuffs are another.  Read up on some fashion history....

I've never stopped putting cuffs on pants.  Ever.  And not those baby bull#### Italian 1 1/4" cuffs either.  I'm 2" cuffs, like the Brits used through the best fashion time in all of history....any time Cary Grant put on a suit.   

I'm talking dress pants now, not ####### chinos or casual pants.

It's like the Bruce Lee quote

Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.

They're durable and stretchy.  Pretty affordable.  They fit form well and are comfortable.  Only stretch where they have to.  Big fan

and they're AE, so you just throw them away in a couple of months.
