Well, stop wearing basketball shorts. Get some walking shorts, or golf shorts (basically, shorts that aren't cargo... those are kind of fading out, it seems... I like them still, but I've heard a lot of negative things about them lately). Get them in solid colors like khaki, charcoal, etc. Pair that with an OCBD, sleeves rolled, and some boat shoes or something.
Basically, this look with shorts, and maybe minus the jacket. So... not that look at all, but that kind of color coordination.
For longer pants, buy chinos, as Juliette recommended. They breathe well, so you don't get too hot. You're going to be hot and sweaty anyway, you may as well look good, imo. It was hot as shit all summer in the Midwest (90+ all summer), and the few times I had to wear a suit, the only thing that made me hot was the tie and jacket. If I loosened my collar, it wasn't all that unbearable.

I forgot to post the discount lol.
i love their OCBDs. small fits me pretty good (I should be an xs i think though). i got some other stuff, not shirting from them this time. I actually got black though, which i dont usually do.
any reason you went with the uggs? i dont think i like them too much though
I liked the way they looked, soft leather, flexible sole and ankle, decent traction on the sole, and it's a solid brand so they should last me more than a single winter. The "moc toe" isn't for everyone, I guess.

not so sure about extra fine merino, it's not as soft and not as durable. uniqlo has some solid efm/lambswool sweaters since they're an absolute steal at 20-30 usd. Kind of thankful for this. Will buy a cashmere sweater for my wife from them, that's exactly what she needs. The cash is thin/low quality relatively because its cheap cashmere, just so you know. Merino is better for cash relative quality wise. Slow replies cause mobile sorry And yeah try a small bbocbd
Yeah, I just looked at alternatives and found something way better looking. Btw about Macys - yeah, only if you can find good discount/clearance. I didn't mean full price, that's crazy. I bought RL jeans that fit me nicely for 19.99 AND 20% off. They are 98$ online.

I feel the need to plug wolf vs goat somewhere. SF loves them and i'll be making an order once my ban lifts.
I'm a 32/33 waist, 33 sleeve length, and i think my chest might be 37 if it's a tight measurement, if the measuring tape is supposed to be loose it's closer to 38. Holy moly, wolf vs goat is expensive, the two shirts i just browsed through were 185-210$.
tape is supposed to be tight around chest. not like pulled-in-squeezing tight but the tape needs to be taut.

your bias is getting kind of silly.
different price points appeal to different demographics.
also I am not the biggest fan of wolf v goat.
BoO, acne, and Rag & Bone are all far better at that price point. stone island shadow project is not too bad either.

seems like the sides need to be brought in and the armholes and sleeve width are too large. first is easy to tailor for, second is harder. you're going to have to ask your local (experienced hopefully) tailor.

Japan makes the best cotton doe. That's why they source the best denim You're suggesting perry ellis wat. Macys is good for a pinch if you can get a discount but there are much better alternatives for the prices they ask. Also 37 chest for a 32 waist is what i meant with that. I'm 34/32 c/w now apparently lol
japan grows very little, if any cotton.
they source it from either china, usa, turkey, or zimbabwe. (I put them in order from poor quality to better quality).
Japan has fantastic weaves, which is why it says 'Japanese cotton' - because even though they source it from foreign lands the raw cotton is processed into Japanese-made fabric.

They are a little light, but it looks fine to me. My only doubt would be that it's a different shade of brown from your belt which makes them stand out a bit more.

Only belt I have, though.

I found some nice Brooks Brothers cap-toe shoes at goodwill and they don't fit me or any of my friends.
Do you guys think I can sell them?I don't know how to identify them though...

Guys, I need some help buying a dress shirt and a suit. I went to a local mall and they sized me to be 15" 32"/33" and 35" chest. They also recommended fit or slim fit for my body type. However, for some reason they wouldn't let me try the shirts on, so I left.
Back home, I measured my body just to make sure, and I actually measured 15" 30"/30". I guess they told me 15" 32"/33" because that's the smallest size they have (I also checked calvin klein's website and that seems to be the case for them as well). So my question is: (1) Where can I find a 15" 30"/30" dress shirt? Is tailoring my only option?
As for the suits, they didn't have anything under 38" chest, so I was out of option. Now I'm trying to figure out a way to try on the dress shirts and suits. I live in a fairly small city and there doesn't seem to many options available, so I'm thinking about ordering, trying them on, and either hopefully keeping them or returning them. (2) What websites do you guys recommend?

What's wrong with the shirt? I mean it's nothing I'd wear casually, was just messing around the other day. Usually I wear plaid shirts or just some tshirts.
