Those pants look like really really bad jeans.

 

[Bull Dozier]

None of these are really rules.  I follow them tho.  

As far as button downs go, it's because a button down collar is casual.  It was created for "country clothes" and its casual.  It clashes with a suit for some people.  I knew an absolute clothes horse who did it just to say "f u" to people who thought they knew better.  

Like I said, they're rules to some people, but they're antiquated and optional.  Just know people are judging. 

These are the last people on the list I care about.

yeah, I didn't like the pants either...hence the "kind of"

which is exactly how it should be.  F em.

I prefer "classic."

And let's be honest, some things shouldn't be optional.   

 

[mr. furley]

Tell us again why you are not wearing a suit?

boss's orders

very casual wedding. bride will be wearing a summer dress. groom slacks and a sportcoat (max). suits are strictly forbidden.

 

[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. 

 

[mr. furley]

Does that mean no jacket or just you aren't wearing a traditional 2 piece suit?

not wearing a traditional two piece.

98% i wear a sportcoat/jacket

Then #### them as that's all I wear here in country Oklahoma.

I like the jacket/shirt combo, hate the pants.

much like What Not To Wear,  don't get caught up in mirroring the EXACT look presented but use it as a guideline.

the pants are superfluous. 

the idea is what matters.

 

[MarvinTScamper]

I like the jacket/shirt combo, hate the pants.

agreed.  Couldn't find a photo to COMPLETELY resemble what I wanted to portray.  Not everyone has my style, I guess.

 

[MarvinTScamper]

by the way...if you have the ability to go with a patterned jacket, ALWAYS do so.  The chicas much much MUCH prefer some panache.  The white cotton pocket square with a jacket like this = can't keep the women off with a stick.

BONUS: THOSE GRAY PANTS LOOK TILT

Pants lol

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

I put my boxers on backwards this morning.  It's like an April fools joke the first time you go to take a piss.

Get rid of the bow tie and this is you.

Yes, I got matching pocket squares for my groomsmen and dad's from them. They threw in a pair of comfy socks to sample with my order (a size too big, but free is free). Good product & service. A++++ Would buy from again.

What do you guys think of the Eldredge tie knot?
I used it once for an outdoor summer wedding, but nobody noticed until I pointed it out. Then they thought it was cool. Too damn hard to tie though.

Absolutely certain.  If you haven't done it, you wouldn't know.

I'm willing to bet this wasn't the favorite look for female Don Draper fans.

You can keep this up all you want.  Being wrong about this won't help your sense of fashion.  I'm just telling you what WORKS.

Looks like you tied your tie backwards.

Bought those Stan Smiths linked earlier. They're awesome. Super lightweight and comfortable. Like wearing slippers. And look great. 

 

[Otis]

Oh and they didn't cost like 400 bucks and look like velvet princess slippers like some of the other stuff posted in here. :nostyleormaybegheystyle:

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.
