Essential The Coli's GQ Thread: Men's Fashion

[BLAZO da GAWD]

My brehs need suggestions these two items I need.

1) Loafers I can wear to my new job that is casual enough to wear with some jeans. Black preferably

2) Those tighter fitting sweat pants. What's a good place to get some affordable ones?

This isn't good advice

Its actually terrible advice

Not to mention he put Brooks Brothers on some kind of pedestal,when they and J Crew almost identical in terms of quality,offerings,and price points...

I get all my shirts tailored anyway.

It's great if you can get something with a perfect fit, but I have a guy who takes in the sides for me for like $12 a shirt.
It does add up after a while, but I think $10-15 extra for a shirt that fits right is worth it.

i've actually been obsessively building a relationship with my tailor the past few months.

i took in like 6 pairs of pants and a suit jacket in the past month and she did amazing work. some old asian lady.

i haven't taken shirts yet but i'm going to. Busted out a shirt from the mid 00s thats dope but i copped a size too big cuz i was insecure in getting my size back then.. ima have her fix it

you're right though it added up. already spent about 200 but she did one for free cuz ive been going in so much

you the breh but i can't co-sign the aldos. they hurt my feet.

i can't speak on DSW but i dont think those are goodyear welted.

i'd look for a pair of allen edmonds seconds or something at the minimum.

a wise man once told me

$100 shoes last a year (if that)

$200 shoes 3-4 years

and $300+ shoes last a lifetime (if taken care of properly)

a lot of guys will blow money on tons of $200 sneakers but they work 5 days a week and spend like $40 on dress shoes

spend the dough on some good ones, take care of em

it's cheaper to spend $300-400 once than $40 every 6-12 months
