no where actually, someone wanted to see how the tie looks when worn, so i managed to snap a pix =)

well yes you definitely could, tuck in your shirt, maybe leave one button undone.. but personally i do not like wearing short sleeve shirts, there's something about a short sleeve dress shirt that can be so middle management..

are those bell bottom dress pants? i'd prefer that belt with like jeans, for dress pants, a no no for me.. lol where are your shoes buddy?

i love gucci belts as well, but not with dress clothes, those big buckles are meant for casual wear..

oh come on dont bring up the different point of view card for everything.. there are certain things which are what they are, similar with sneakers are casual wear, and dress shoes are formal wear..

im just stating that it doesnt look professional IMO, simplicity is the key when it comes to dressing for success.. which is why you will never see a big logo across proper dress shirts.. but well whatever makes u happy

nope no insult to middle managers, its not to be taken literally.. it just means that short sleeve shirts do not reflect to the wearer as being a successful person, a professional individual IMO.. short sleeve shirts are portrayed to be casual, relaxed, laid back..

no doubt there are professionals who wear short sleeve, no doubt there are successful people who wear them, however im just saying that short sleeve shirts do not portray that image to me =)

as usual, big fan of your look and fit of the clothes, nice Flat Cap there.. from the looks of the photo, looks like you ate a little too much lol, maybe buttoning another 2 on the cardigan would be a good idea =D

as you mentioned you wanted to wear the vest for a presentation right, what i would do is firstly wear a long sleeve shirt (instead of a short sleeve which you showed here), then i would button up and wear a tie (i see you unbuttoned the top button, bad look for me unless you have a really solid build), then i'd button the vest, wear dress pants and dress shoes.. you'd look more like a gentlemen this way..

edit: oh and one more thing, i'd try to keep the shirt collar within the vest instead of letting them hang outside.. i feel its just a more modern look..

seriously, you really look as if you have boobs, i really thought you're a female and i had to check your gender tag.. you know what, i like the belt, but really, for me the shirt has to go man..

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

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:

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..

i cant seem to see the pic..

not big fans of so-called flashy belts.. shouldnt be a problem to match white belt with beige pants.. you can wear any kind of belt for casual, there's no real sweat about how to pair them..

what size is the jacket? 36R? Tyler? hmmm never heard though, where you purchased it from? how much is the jacket?

why not? http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/934965/
