What should I wear for prom?

I need a makeover, what should I wear?

How do I mix and match these clothes?

Here we can discuss openly about anything related to clothes/style/fashion such as how to buy a suit, what colour socks to wear, what people think of a particular type of shirt, what they think of a certain brand, what kind of shoes to buy, where to place a tie bar, and tailor recommendations.

Ask your general questions here if you do not feel the need to open a topic, and we will answer them..

--

This thread is dedicated to men who care about the way they dress, about the way they look, and about making the best impression of themselves; in hopes to build up a community of style conscious group where everyone will be able to comfortably talk about clothes without any embarrassment. Of course the ladies are also welcome to join in the discussion as they are the main point why men dress up in the first place =)

Way to go first post.

I will go first in recommending my tailor: Sire's Tailoring, which is just a few shops beside Maybank @ Cheras Business Centre.

The old man tailors for Mahathir and some Sultans. Great guy, very charismatic and entertaining man.

He made my suit. However, don't get fabric from him, you're better off at Binwani's!

hmmm when u mean tailor do u mean for alteration purposes or for getting suits done?
as far as i know, mahathir does his suits in Lord's Tailor, im not sure to what extent this information
is true, or he probably gets his suits done from afew tailors.

My bad, Mahathir does tailor at Lord's, the Sultans tailor at Sire's

for me...usually i get those rugged type of clothes...i dont think office wear will be the topic here as they are quite stereotyped already...
jeans is a must for me...
earth colored shirts...brown,grey,white,black,dark green,dark blue...etc
i usually refrain to go for somethin bright like red or yellow,but ill get them for chinese new year...
high collar jackets...kinda like turtlenecks with zip is my fav:lol:
usually for clothes & jackets ill juz go for somethin i like that can be found at the smaller malls or juz small clothes shop...it somehow retains my own sense of originality...tailored are ways too disturbing for me

i can't seem to find sire's on the net, do they have a webpage?

Hi, I'm a girl, new here and I got something to ask you guys regarding to the "male tight/pantyhose", I have been googling around and found a lot of this kind of website selling male tight/pantyhose, and claimed that this stuff is very popular in Europe and USA, would you mind if your gf or wife buy this kind stuff for you as present? would you wear it?

Well those are mostly used during the winter when it's cold. Wearing them here is the same as being a walking sauna heater, no?

Aren't those pantyhouse more towards the fashion purpose?
I don't know. I feel it's ugly for me to wear it.

This is what I think before I wear one, but after wearing it, actually it is quite comfortable and you won't feel hot at all, maybe you you are a guy, so never wear before and don't know how it feel. But one thing need to take note, a good quality one will make you feel comfortable, a bad quality one will make you feel uncomfortable. For male wearing it is towards fashion, I think this is one of the reason kua, but base on the result I got from internet, they also because of "health" or during sport.

By "panyhose" do u mean long johns? Those r meant to be worn in d cold.

I am a girl XD

I know what they are but there's special pantyhose (long johns) for guys which are meant to be worn during the winter to keep them warm, those are the ones usually sold in the US and Europe countries. It will be totally weird if they wear ladies pantyhose

you try to take a look at this website http://www.e-mancipate.net/.

Sire's doesn't have a webpage.

Just go and ask.

thats something i feel a man should never wear in public unless he's being paid, honestly why would you want him to wear that anyways? i'd undertand if for private viewing..

This post has been edited by jind86: Dec 17 2008, 11:09 PM

guys v pantyhose?? omg

pantyhose for guys... i think its ok, but not to wear them in pubic with shorts, looks weird. to keep warmth and for medical purposes is ok.

yeah i'd agree with that, i definitely don't see how this could be a fashion statement to show you're wearing pantyhose..

I think some guys did wear pantyhose/tight, just as what ckmoy007 said.

silkygirl

Wow those are.............. I personally would turn around and walk away seeing guys n those pantyhose Too.... unmanly *gets bricked*

No will not wear it. won't be accepted in malaysia. will have a major GAY stamp on it.
my 2 cents. lol

do you guys have any cobbler recommendations? good cobblers..

what type of shoes r u fixing? i sent my dress shoes to the cobbler in B1 of Bangsar Village I. fixed my worn out soles. quite a good job on it. think it was RM86.

i kinda have this white sneakers which is a little damage at the bottom because of wear and tear.. was wondering if any cobblers can fix this issue..

Those guy pantyhose you're talking about is more commonly called long johns, sometimes we call it leggings too. Whatever it is, it is to be worn to keep warm during winter and since you're supposed to be wearing them under your pants, there is no use wearing them in Malaysia. If you want to buy it here, you can find then at any winter clothing store.

i thought its called leotard?

leotard is the one which covers the torso and body but leaves the legs free..

Comfilon and Aktivskin are two major brands targetted for the male customers now.

And they are selling like hot cake in USA and Germany, Netherlands, Italy and UK


Also try Levee WoMan. This is made for both genders. If your hubby doesn't like it, then it's yours to wear.


Gerbe from France makes hosiery for men as well now. They are a bit more expensive but higher quality.


Men in pantyhose may be still a bit "eeeck" to the locals in Malaysia, fashion trends takes a long time to trickle from Europe & USA to get to Msia. I think most of us are still very conservative and traditional. Anything that crosses the gender lines tends to be frowned upon.

But there are brave souls out there, coming out of the closet... with websites like Emancipate,Geraden's blog and Eugene T.S. Wong ....

As men around the world are becoming more and more metrosexual (even started using mascara and makeup), the gender lines are being blurred. Although it is slow, surely sooner or later things like men in pantyhose is possible. It is only a matter of time while the older generation is being replaced by the new generation. With that said, young japanese people are already bold enough to cross the gender border with styles like Visual Kei and korean guys being rumoured to go under the plastic surgeon's knife to make face look more feminine.

hey guys I'm planning to go for a more unique, professional and slightly more grown up look. Any shops that you'd recommend that sells clothes like that? that isnt too expensive?

or any good makeover suggestions?

padini..
not too expensive.. not too cheap..
affordable..

General sartorial questions can be asked here instead of needing to open a new thread..

What should I wear for prom?

I need a makeover, what should I wear?

How do I mix and match these clothes?

oho thanks didint see this thread

can merge my existing thread with this one? thx

the more appropriate question you should ask is what to wear instead of brands to wear.. elaborate on what you wrote and let us know what have you been wearing all along? are you a t-shirt guy? jeans guy? or even better post up a picture of the way you currently dress and let us know you think is the issue that is making you look "not-so-grown-up".. from there we can give advice from a much better perspective..

my current ensemble consists of striped polo tees and green pants. There's the occasional hoodie or two but kinda getting bored of them. I want something that makes me stand out during causual friday in the office w/o looking too overly dressed. I have nothing much against the polo tees but they make me feel like some uncle golfer.

Brand wise, I cant afford topman or fcuk yet which is why I'm kinda asking if there are cheaper alternatives to them.

I do not go well with jeans. I have weird, disappropriationate thighs which will stick out whenever I wear jeans so I always go for khakis. Picture wise maybe I'll wait until friday to take a pic of myself and give everyone an idea what I look like.

as you mentioned you want a casual yet professional look.. try adding a v-neck sweater like this to your daily wear.. if you want to look a little more dressy, a tie is always a good option.. opt for a slim dark tie for a start.. but yeah do take a picture this friday and show us..

Hi, I would like to know about these 2 cloth in the picture below. Any info of that particular or similar clothing on Where can I find this in MY, price or similar item and anything useful.

I not referring to the baby but the young man.








Thank.

2nd pic is probably leather bomber jacket.. u can find that in TOPMAN.. price maybe aroun 300+

if you have no budget,jackets from Armani are awesome

huh?Armani? I thought Armani is more expensive than a TOPman

yeap, thats what he meant. If u have no budget(meaning you got no spending limits..)

The first long sleeve shirt looks like a hoodie. You can get this kind of long sleeve non graphics print everywhere. But the hoodie style is kind of hard for this slim fit one. Most of the ones i saw are related to hip hop.

The second picture is a biker/ bomber jacket. Its a seasonal thing. Have saw before in ZARA. Cost more than RM400 in leather/ PU.

70s' Shop range isn't that 70's at all. Strange shop name when they are selling mostly updated rock/ street wear.

You guys think what color blazer can match well with pink t-shirt huh?

you want to spend your money purchasing a blazer just to match it with your pink t-shirt?

Added on June 20, 2009, 12:46 amjust for answering your question, navy, black and a white suit jacket would be a good choice.. idk, grey/brown/khaki suit jacket and bright pink tee would be a little weird i think..

This post has been edited by jind86: Jun 20 2009, 12:46 AM

White would probably make homophobics cringe...I would say light earth tones, besides they go well with most colours...maybe black??? Depends on the pink though...

Hey anyone of u guys here went for G2000 sale? just wana know what is the discount range is. i'm looking for blazer now and would like to try G2000

Last time checked they got a store @Bangsar Village and Lot 10.. Lot 10 not sure if still there but the BV Outlet is still open

I have been following their current sales. The last I checked (yesterday), suits, jackets and pants are mostly on 30% discount. Shirts are at 30% off for the 1st & 2nd piece and 50% for 3 pieces.

which material is best for malaysian whether. i tend to sweat a lot

Cotton. Breathable natural fiber which helps wick away sweat from your body.

is cotton have their grading system? i mean type of cotton? or is it just one

guys....curious why pierre cardin is so cheap in M'sia....especially in parkson...anybody knows why? isn't it suppose to be a designer brand?

where can i get headbands can in kl like the one in the picture? or something like that? the closest one i've been able to find so far is those sports headband

If I am not mistaken, the company that owns the name Pierre Cardin in Malaysia actually bought the license from Pierre Cardin (the French designer).
Also, the licensee of Pierre Cardin footwear in Malaysia is ABC Footwear Sdn. Bhd. ([url=http://abcfootwear.net]http://abcfootwear.net[/url)] which manufactures the shoes in its Malaysian factory, thus explaining the low price.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I remember seeing such similar headbands in Guardian / Watsons and also at the ladies / toiletry department in hypermarkets.

jersey headbands in toiletry department..?

What's strange about finding headbands together with other toiletry products and other ladies' beauty accessories such as hairbands, nail buffer, hairclips and whatnot in the toiletry department of hypermarkets? That's how the stuffs are organized in my neighbourhood's Carrefour.

A google for the term "jersey headbands" revealed:

tattoo thread anyone?

where can i get Velentino Rudy and Nicole clothing in kl?Thanks

sometimes i see there is button for collar for some shirts. what is the purpose?

That is a feature on button-down collar shirts to hold the collar down (so they don't flap,curl or tilt around) instead of using collar stays. Note that this feature makes the shirt less formal.

where can i get info on shirt style? button down, tuxedo shirt all that.

my waist is 34" and 168cm tall.(swt=.=)

what jeans cutting suit me well?
first time wearing jeans here

can u all tell me where can i buy singlet to go for gym and casual coat?

Thread title "Where can i buy sport singlet and casual coat?, men fashion" merged..

What sort of casual coat are you looking for since there are a lot out there? Maybe we can provide more assistance if you have a picture for reference.

something like this..

jus tell me the brands plz.. thx

hmmm well you can check the underwear department, they have singlets like these, brands like CK, hush puppy..

otherwise check out FOS too, they have some there as well if i recall correctly..

thanks

How about pants? what brands u all recommend? around rm200 la..CK jeans too expensive leh

Mate, if you're talking about designer brands like Calvin Klein, of course they're expensive.

Any specific type of pants you are looking for? If you're talking about jeans only, RM200 could get you jeans from Zara, Topman, Pull & Bear, Esprit, etc. Have a look around in the mall.
Personally, I go for Zara and Topman since their cuttings fit me nicely. Different people might have different experience though.

Where do i get super nice and sleek white pants, ive seen raul but i didnt like the cutting at all and i think its quite ex for a raul rm 359!

Before that, what is your material of choice (cotton,linen,denim,etc), styling (jeans styling,chino,dress/formal) and cutting (straight, skinny, slim, boot) and most importantly your budget?

Cotton
chinos are great
straight

maybe 200++ trying my best not to be brand conscious

budget ar depends la but i think 300++ for raul quite ex cause i can get a hugo for 400++, i use to buy hugo alot now stopping lol! but i didnt get them in Malaysia:D

guys bonia is a local brand isn't it? what do u guys think bout their quality?

their shoe made my leg damed pain if wear it and walk for long hours >.<

yeah i think it started off in malaysia and is pretty much an international brand now..

"The Group, which is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia, is involved in manufacturing, marketing, retailing and distribution of high-fashion branded leatherwear, footwear, men's apparel and accessories.

In addition to its flagship fashion label of BONIA, the Group also behind the successful brands such as SEMBONIA and CARLO RINO and holds license for international labels, distributorship and dealership of leading brands such as ROBERTA DI CAMERINO, SANTA BARBARA POLO & RACQUET CLUB, AUSTIN REED, VALENTINO RUDY, CARVEN and SAVILE ROW."

anyone know where to get something like this?

its a shawl lapel tuxedo.. that particular one is actually from Dolce & Gabbana..
