Its too wide, but it also looks like something you picked up for $5 on close out at TJ Max. There is nothing wrong with doing that, unless it looks like a $5 tie you picked up at TJ Max on close out.

Here is another look that was good. I have wanted a seersucker suit for a long time.

3 button seersucker suit? Beat.

Shirt doesn't match at all.

Oh and the jacket is too small, it's pulling.

I didn't notice it was a 3 button, I liked how the colors all work very well together.

Esquire runs a good piece every month now where they find average guys on the street and re-tool their look. 90% of the time the American-cut (if that's a term) of just about everything is oversized in every direction. When the suits are pulled in the result is a longer, leaner, and generally much better.

As for casual, there was some corporate sales guy in his golf apparel. His pleated pants were so Hamertime they had to add a disclaimer that the editors didn't alter anything. Plus his golf shirt had 25" diameter arm holes and were down to past his elbows. Sadly, this looks like most golfers I've seen, other than pros.

Actually there is no "pretty much" when you're talking about a "perfectly" fit suit. The bottom line is that middle button is about to pop, the mid section is pulling and the sleeves are too short. If you want to be "trendy" with sleeve and jacket lengths, don't be a jerkoff and wear a shirt that is of traditional length.

 Re: (BltByKrmn) »« »

oh I see what you did there

I see nothing "trendy" about this guys outfit, he's wearing exactly what he wants, and it fits. He's slouching in the picture, the center button is pulling a bit, not anywhere near popping. He's rocking some french cuffs, and probably has some nice links he wants to be visible. Nothing haphazard about that gentleman's look.

What exactly did I "do there"?

If he's not trying to be "trendy", then there ABSOLUTELY is a correct guideline for suit sizing. That sizing does not include short sleeves with 2" of shirt showing, strained buttons and pulled material. Then to top it off if he's not being "trendy", you shouldn't wear french cuffs with seersucker. Or a spread collar shirt with that tie.

The point of a seersucker suit is looking more towards the formal side while not actually being formal in warmer months. French cuffs? Contradiction. Metal watch band? Contradiction.

Do you also suggest I wear a button down oxford, bluchers and a G-shock with a tuxedo because "it's wearing exactly what I want"?

actually yes, I do...

IF you can pull it off, wear whatever the hell you want. That is what's great about fashion, there are no "rules"

This is decent.
I would like to see a different color tie and pocket square.


I like how this is just a simple and clean look.

Some nice shoes.


Very polished.


This guy just looks cool wearing this.


This is good, but I wouldn't wear those shoes with that.

I don't think horizontal lines can be described as being clean. It's segments an outfit. I would think a clean look would flow easily?

Its clean in that it is just a t-shirt, sweater, pants, and loafer style shoes. The majority of it is all one color.

It is not all clogged up with a multicolored belt, some multi patterned scarf, bright orange socks or $800 combat style boots.

I almost put that guy in as he does look good, I just don't like that style of pants.

There are some pics of an Asian gentleman on there rocking a couple of double breasted suits. I almost put him in here too because he really pulls them off great, but I am not a fan of double breasted suits.

True, the pants are not the best IMO.
I love the size of his watch. Fits perfectly.
But his shirt is what I really like. Love patterns under solids.

Here is one pic of the Asian gentleman that I had mentioned.

Like I said, I am not a fan of double breasted suits but this guy does wear it well. There is another pic of him wearing a different double breasted suit. If I find it I will put it up.


Here he is rocking a nice tan suit.

I would wear the "Old Navy" outfit as you call it before I would wear the shirt and whatever that thing the guy has around his neck.

The lapels on that suit are killing me.

I might be wrong, but his briefcase reminds me of the cheap POS ones that my high teachers used to carry.
