I never got the point behind the puffer vest.

I just feel like, dude...wear a jacket.
It's sometimes a nice casual look, even though it's not for me.

I only bring it up because it will be Spring in a few weeks and I tend to see that a lot in the city when it's Fall/Spring

What are some good sites for tees and shirts?

I need more shirts in my wardrobe. I’ve been building from the ground up but I’ve neglected more shirts.

Just picked these up from Meermin


Very versatile Chelsea boots that have a bit more of a casual feel to em but can still be dressed up. They’re very comfortable to wear out the box.

Doc Martens and rounder toes are in right now (goes well with the baggy trend) but I like these as they’re more classic in styling and won’t go in and out of style.

Copping these next two from Meermin. They have great shoes at quality prices. I highly recommend them.

Those are great. Funny I've had Chelseas for a number of years and some people think they are cycling out of style, but I love mine. With that said I need to add some dress shoes in my wardrobe again and throw out some other styles i.e double monks.

These just look sad...but this is basically the "men's wear" end game


Yeah I can't do that and I like classic menswear. I need some color or edge to my outfit. It's hard to balance because you don't want to look like an old white guy but you want to be put together.


I was just looking at some Crockett & Jones shoes to fill a gap in my wardrobe and I also needed a replacement for a BASIC baby blue dress shirt. Hope I dont go in the old boring direction :sadcam:

I’ve started doing this more often: asking people where they’ve gotten certain fits. If I see something I like I legit say “like your (insert clothing item) where did you get it?”

It’s introduced me to a whole slew of brands and designers I may not have known about eg Isto (Portugal), Gentle Monster, Reiss etc.

Did this a lot on my last trip in London. Surprisingly, most people appreciate the compliment and drop the names for me

Very dope. I lose sunglasses way too often to drop $400+ on a pair. $150-$250 is my sweet spot.

Been looking for some sunglasses with black frames and oranges lenses.

Saw these online and will take a punt on em. :ehh: Spanish based brand.

Europe has some great, stylish designers that make quality products at a good price. Their food and clothing supply chain from the ground up is miles better than the US.

They get paid peanuts compared to the US so I guess it makes sense :lolbron:
