post up your look of the day..

this thread is for guys who feel comfortable in what they wear and to post up so that other style conscious guys can give feedback and their opinion, pls don't embarrass yourself and write nonsence such as "im wearing nothing" or "just boxers".. instead put up pictures of what you wore earlier when u went out.. if u feel good in the clothes you wear, post it up so we can encourage one another, im currently in a international style community forum where people who really care about what they wear and looking their best, comment and give feedback to one another, so i thought i'd localize it and bring this thread to a malaysian forum..

i really like this look.. it kinda has a new york casual look to it.. its hard to find malaysians who dare to dress up like that..

thank you for your compliment, i believe here in malaysia, probably because of the hot and humid weather, people have been accustomed to oversized dressing, which i find is a bad look.. i wont say malaysians should dress up more, just dress nicer by wearing more fitted clothes =) yup i'd definitely agree with you that the tie is a little short and cld have been longer..

zara sportsjacket, nice.. u shld definitely show us a picture..

Added on December 23, 2008, 6:12 pmi have a similar look.. i sometimes wear my dress shirt tucked in and i throw on a well fitted cardigan..

looks relatively good.. try taking full body from head to toe.. and let us know wad ur wearing as well..

nice look here but not my personality, nice shirt fit as well.. has that hawaiian vibe.. hmm the shades looks like it has the gradient clear lenses, which actually offers little or no sunlight protection.. but who cares about that right? hehe.. are u working or studying btw?

personally i actually do care about the brand, but the actual fact is that guys can look stunning without needing to spend on expensive clothes.. a guy can spend less than 100 and look great, and a guy can spend thousands and still look sloppy.. it is all about the fit and the look - and this thread is dedicated to that, which is why it is encouraged to post up pictures =) the details/brand of your clothes are suppose to come second and is actually only for reference purpose =)

here's my look today





cardigan by topman
polo-t by polo ralph lauren
watch by swatch automatic
belt by marks & spencer
khakis by dockers
socks from FOS
shoes by calvin klein

here i also have the "no show" socks look which i feel is perfect for shorts and casual pants like these khakis =)

as usual, comments are welcomed..

Added on January 1, 2009, 1:32 amcomment appreciated.. well i dont have a black cardigan as for now and even if i did i wouldnt wanna just wear the black all the time when im wearing khakis.. gotta expand my look by mixing and matching

i got mine from FOS.. super affordable.. im not too sure if they still sell them there..
banana republic also sell these (im not sure in msia though)..

Added on January 1, 2009, 3:08 pmif you're refering to me in specific, i find my stuff affordable, like my cardigan from topman, swatch watch, marks & spencer belt, and socks from FOS but i mean some people prefer certain brands than others due to design or fit and others.. for me the fit always comes first (but i do have certain brands i like and do not like, just like everyone else)..

p/s why dont u post up some pictures and join the community

This post has been edited by jind86: Jan 1 2009, 03:26 PM

er well i guess u could get the ones from girls shop, no one is gonna see the socks anyways, thats why their called "no show" socks.. lol.. banana republic call them the "loafer sock", which of course this look goes well with loafers..

no worries, post up the nxt time..

i think for me sleeves will always be abit long whether on a dress shirt or on a jacket.. therefore i always send them to get them altered.. its kinda normal for the sleeves to be long as it can be altered to the specific individual, if they are short, they cant be lenghtened..

this look is too "youthful" for me, nice slip-ons though..

well the reason is because i prefer all my shirts sleeve to be the same length, therefore i get them tailored, and as for my jacket sleeve, i need them to be 1/2 inch shorter than my shirts to allow the shirt cuff to slightly show, which is why i get them altered as well..

you know what seriously this is an awesome look, they look very very well tailored.. sleeve length perfect, thats like about half an inch of the shirt cuff which is displayed.. the hat just looks great with the whole outfit, giving you like a New York vibe.. i could definitely see u with a bowtie here.. this is one of the looks where people always are trying to pull off but when they don't get it right, they just look like their trying too hard, but i have to say good job here..

haha ok.. how old are u btw if u dont mind me asking?

judging by your pictures, i would think you'd be a 34 or a 36, i think a 38 wld be too big for you..

Added on January 8, 2009, 4:07 pmthis is what i wore today for a short trip out



polo-t by polo ralph lauren - classic cut (i prefer the custom cut though)
shorts by topman

i kinda pulled out the back hem and kept the front tucked in creating what RL calls the "preppy half-tuck"..

yes, the best way you can estimate is by measuring the widest part of your chest.. however you have to always try it on as although sometimes your chest measures 36, but that particular jacket may be too big or small for you.. i personally wouldnt worry much about the sleeve length, if they are about an inch or so too long then you should have no problem getting them altered..

if you are really serious about getting a suit jacket, i would recommend you to view this:

Added on January 8, 2009, 4:49 pmoh btw topman's suit jackets are properly sized by numbers (34, 36, 38 etc) and not by S, M, L.. so just look for your chest size..

tq, this pants is a problem actually as the belt loop is particularly narrow, so most of my belts wont fit.. hmmm yeah i am planning to get some slip-ons, any recommended brands?

This post has been edited by jind86: Jan 8 2009, 04:35 PM

its cool, i don't think the problem is with the pants (they are nice shorts hehe), the shirt however is a little loose, thats why i prefer RL's custom fit

thanks massa, could have definitely accessorized more to create a better look, this was more on the simple side, just threw on a shirt and shorts, did not even capture my footwear

Added on January 8, 2009, 11:57 pmhanhanhan - outfit looks relatively good from what i can see, nice sneakers btw =) try capturing a full body image the next time..

adidas slipper lol..

here's my look today:





polo-t by ralph lauren (slim fit)
shorts by topman
socks from FOS
shoes by lacoste

this shirt is definitely 10 times better than the previous.. again here i pulled out the back hem and kept the front tucked in

---

Added on January 9, 2009, 10:42 amyeah i prefer the second look, it makes you look taller as well compared to the 1st picture

This post has been edited by jind86: Jan 9 2009, 10:43 AM

hmmm well there's actually no functional reason to tucking in the front.. i guess its just a look, kinda like gives this statement where i went like "yeah today im gonna look all neat and tidy, lets start by tucking in my *ARGHHHHHHHHH* FORGET IT" lol..
yeah i do wear a belt at times but sometimes i just leave it, i don't think it looks bad without the belt..
