I do have one Zara TRF skinny jeans, hehe.

Agreed. But the very funny thing is that I have it for a year and a half, and nobody mentioned anything. Are they lying when I asked them how I look?


Nah, I'm only a student. It's one of my dreams, though. Will keep an eye on a better polo tee that suits my wallet.


And I dressed this up just for fun. Any comments?

Shirt: Chargers
Tie: Gift from father
Jacket: From bundle
Jeans: From FOS
Belt: No brand
Bag: Playboy with Carlo Rino strap

@cityofpalms

No offense but I think you really need to reconsider the way you pose for photo.

I feel that there are too many matching colours in your look: i.e blue and red are too strong (on the jeans, belt, tie and even the designs on the shirt itself) that is screaming The-American-Patriot look. Try adding some other complementary colour into the mix instead of focusing solely on red and blue in nearly every single article of clothing there and the outcome will be a lot better.

That photo is just for fun. That's it. I really wonder what's wrong with it...

man, *sighs*. i really dont want to offend you. but everything seems just wrong. the tie, the shirt, the jeans and the belt... its really bad. No offense man.

today:

LYN tshirt (have to attend an official event after work... sigh), a pair of levis 512, and my favorite nike koinobori reflectors! topped it off with a clot x new era fitted, but i think my face is too round/big to pull off fitted caps.



before flash/after flash

the koinobori air max with jeans ? uhm.. im always against guys wearing jeans with sports shoes.

I know what you mean Okini, but since the rest of my outfit today is so damned drab, I welcome the bling.

oh come on, give constructive criticism at least rather than letting it hang like that.. i give him credit for posting his picture..

well id say get a whole new wardrobe but that would be just evil seriously theres so many ways to look spiffy, plus nothing u could do about those pieces really.

No, that would've been generous.

Go out there, pile up your clothes and burn them to ashes, I rather walk outside naked than in those atrocious fits of yours.

... too much?

omg.. where do i start?

1) the pose is bad, do not ever ever pose like this for a picture, unless you are trying to be comically funny.. if u've notice, no models (or any other people) ever pose like this.. it's just too corny..

2) the shirt, not fitting.. it's too loose, hence, not suitable to be tucked in..

3) the shirt, is not meant to be matched with a tie as they already have prints (writing kind prints, rather than repetitive mild patterns which should be alright instead ) on it.. it's too much to be handled..


4) The tie is too high school.. it's like high school musical.. very very frat (nerdy look?)... again, i believe if the tie is matchd with plain white shirt, it should still be okay.. and it should not be worn with jeans.. too much blue

5) the belt colour is too reddish (in a striking way), which is bad because you already have a lot of other colours in your look.. you need some colour coordination.. not to ask you to only wear a single or 2 colours in your look, but it's just too much.. now u have beige, white, plenty of blue and red, which i dun think they match..

6) the jacket, doesn't look right with ur look.. maybe it's the colour, havent really seen how the jacket is.. if the jacket is not there, it might not be so bad..

7) oh and the bag too, please loose it when you are with your current look.. they just don't match.. a plain leather messenger bag will help.. that bag with prints of brand on the strap is bad (very tacky too).. plus it doesn't help bcos it's not gucci or LV..no idea why you would want to "show off" carlo rino.. lose the strap i think your messenger bag will look very much better..

conclusion :-
I hope you are just throwing pieces togethr randomly and wear them for the pic.. hope you didnt went out with that look.. i think what's can be improved is your fashion sense.. a lot of room for improvement.. that's the most important thing now..

good comments hikari.. i pretty much agree with everything you wrote..

well, you asked for constructive comments, so i try my best to give.. haha.. if not, i would probably be like others..

"ITS HORRIBLE" period..

hope cityofpalms can take my comments as improvement points rather than criticisms that put him down (which is not my intention at all).

Thanks hikari. Quite detail there.

Ok now question, how can we actually make it better for this type of style (can I say this is casual style?) As I believe a lot of ppl out there dont know how to mix and match properly (including me)

a) What type or belt and color is the best suited with blue jeans?
b) Can the tie been replaced with other color or its better if there is no tie?
c) For shirts with printed like the one in the picture, is it best to tuck it in or hang it out?

Please advise. Seriously no idea. Huhu.

a) for jeans, try a brown belt like the picture below, or you can go with your typical formal belt which you use for your dress pants



b) i would say for that specific shirt which he wore (by cityofpalms), its better to go without a tie, it's clear he's unsure of the look he wants to go for, on one hand he wants to look super chic and youthful with that printed shirt and funky belt, and on the other hand he wants to look like a gentleman, with the tie and the jacket and the bag.. it just doesnt mix right..

c) for that kind of shirt, thats like a really really casual shirt as there are big prints on them, but actually what determines whether it should be tucked in or out is not about the design of the shirt, but the cutting.. the regular dress shirts you see in the department stores which guys use for work - those are meant to be tucked in, lots of guys actually wear those shirts untucked - very ugly look.. shirts which are meant to be untucked are cut short (because they are designed to be untucked), see example below:

a) Belts do not suit the trousers, they suit the shoes. Belts can be of any colour as long as they match or well coordinated with the shoes. My favourites are black, brown, white and other dark colours. Bright / neon colours are out of the question for me.

b) If you are talking about cityofpalms' look, no tie can ever go with that printed shirt.

c) Depends on the shirt's length and fit at the waist. Shirts with shorter hems or fitted waist can be worn untucked. The opposite goes for normal length or loose fit waist.

How about the head of the belt (what is it called?) Can it be of any size? Some people like to wear very big pattern like eagle pattern or Superman pattern.

If belt should be match with color of shoe, how about the bag? Does it has to match also?

you mean the buckle? well you could say that because jeans are casual, therefore its alright to go with big buckles and patterns, but guys usually grow out of wearing them and soon will opt for more subtle looking belts..

i dont think you need to be all hardcore and have the need to match every single thing, go with black/brown/white bags and you'll be safe..
