Agreed. nod.gif  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? hmm.gif
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? biggrin.gif

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..

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.

hi. no prob.. my answers would be as jind mentioned...

a) brown or black belt.. if u want any other bright colours, it would have to be colour coordinated with your shoe.. and thereafter, it shouldn't appear anywhere else besides your shoe and belt to avoid being too "over" with the colour.. when you want to try those bright colours, u will probably be better off with a plain white tee (to tone it down a bit).. so your whole look have to match (belt+shoe match) and be very careful of "over-doing" it.. of course, to carry the bright colours, the fitting of your clothes have to be perfect, if not you'll look sloppy with bad colour coordination.. another consequences = probably end up look like some nerdy kid trying to look cool and trendy (but in fact, you are not cool at all)

conclusion :- belt and shoe colour must match! well, at least most of the time because some people can pull off weird colour combination.. =)


b) better off with no tie.. i think from my comments earlier, the shirt is not meant to be match with a tie.. it's not bout the colour..

conclusion :- best bet is to avoid tie unless you are attending some formal function.. casual and tie is most of the time a "no-no" for me..

c) like what jind said, depending on the length, but my best guess is that it should be untucked.. you'll probably look like a sloppy casual man which is wayyyyy better than appearing as a man who tries too hard to be cool..

btw sorry cityofpalms, my comments are not meant to be hurtful.. hope that you can take it positively.. =)

well nothing much to comment since it's not a full body shot.. but below are my 2 cents

1) excellent grooming. u don't look trashy/dirrty with the facial hair as some guys might.
2) shirt is the right fit. maybe because u have a above-average body (guess u workout often).
3) the tie is simple, but it matches the shirt and your whole look

only thing i migth want to say is probably the length of your tie. seems a bit too long. it should just be touching/right above the belt buckle. maybe it's the pic i couldn't see it clearly.

conclusion : u look good, don't need to tell us to be kind with you. to me, i think you probably look younger than your real age too tongue.gif

P/S : didnt know there are ang mohs who visits LYN.. hahaha..
