Does one not wear shorts with black shoes? does one not eat top ramen with tabasco sauce
cup noodles & tabasco is pretty good; with sriracha it's amazing.

Don't black shoes look weird with white socks? general rule of thumb is that socks must be darker or as dark as the pants
unless you have bright, loud, patterned socks in which case, you're going for that 'I-am30-years-old-trying-to-spice-up-his-life-look', then that rule doesn't really apply. but with that look, I guess nothing really applies.

If I was wearing some dark plaid patterned shorts and black shoes, what do I do about socks? What if it wasn't black shoes? plaid shorts suck, they make your midsection & bottom far too busy.
besides, abercrombie shorts stopped being cool like 6 years ago
or do other people make them too now?

Also what type of socks?! no shows/ankles

Or hell, maybe not even running/walking shoes? Though I plan to wear shorts when doing quite a bit of walking...
uh running/walking shoes are the only things other than flipflops, loafers, and boatshoes that work with shorts.
unless you're going hiking, then boots do ok with shorts too.

ive been lurking SF, reading lots of blogs (although most of the blogs are about traditional menswear), view a lot of fits, read some news... same way you go about learning other stuff. read about it, listen to people talk about it, research. hands on for it is really easy because its literally what you wear every day.
for me the hardest part is picking an aesthetic. but i guess that comes with time

I'm awful at picking out patterns for casual wear button downs and visualizing what will look good on me and with what pants etc. I tried browsing Brook's Brother's extra-slim fit shirts but the selection for my size is very limited (or at least, the ones on sale). Any other sites you guys would recommend? I never see anyone mention modern tailor on here or what little I have browsed StyleForums, is there a reason for that?

idk just keep it simple. subtle stripes in different shades of blue are always ez
hard to find slimmer shirts that you can try on. depends what kind of shirt you want. OCBD or something a little more... how do i describe broadcloth lol.
also i ordered an ASOS tee and it came in today. the fit is pretty good (XS is just a little roomier than everlane XS) but the armholes are fucking TINY

Ah I see :D I will try to do the same

you know what's hard though
dressing business casual without looking like I'm 30 yet simultaneously projecting the necessary image of maturity to clients
fuck summer too btw
|
Dang, what do you do for a living? Also are you actually 30, but not dressing to appear it while still presenting a mature aura; or are you younger than 30, but trying not to dress like you're 30 while presenting a mature aura? If that made any sense lol

Unless the people you work with dont know that shit in which case get a yohji and yolo thru - Worst part is asos is european .i had to try the T for $10 tho. Im thinking about sizing up to S but idk. Gotta wait a few weeks for another order of anything tho. Furniture
Ties are actually a bit too formal, if anything it's more a 'casual business casual' type of thing.
But to be frank there isn't really a set dress code. I just have to look presentable, which is hard because I look/am young for this occupation. A bit casual (ie, levi's and a polo like everyone else wears) and I look like a college student; full on wool trousers + shirt and I look too overdressed - out of place and out of my own age.
also I ain't at sd no more I kinda hated that place anyways

Ah I see, something like a stockbroker? Wowow :O
Also lol Juliette, yeah I have some friends in La Jolla who say the same thing T_T
Well won't be able to get any "real" clothes still, so I'll just have to settle for reading up, chilling in this thread, and longingly thinking about nice clothes for the time being :[

UCSD is nice. i visited once but im glad i didnt accept to go there lol.
if you have any questions and need any recs just post. i think as a beginner you should be looking at different things and seeing what you like. develop your personal style early and all. also try stuff out at the mall even if you don't buy anything ^^

MFA uniform it is then, better get onto the olive chino bandwagon
Seriously though I'm in the same position. Because it's summer and ridiculously hot everyone just comes to work in whatever the fuck they want and I'm never sure what to wear so I just play it safe and stick with the suit. There's a guy that wears superdry short sleeve shirts with dress pants and the only reason it doesn't look completely awful is because he's ripped as fuck.

best choice ive made in the past 4 years. also gives me a reason to wear winter clothing
just look around and save pictures that look good to you. i have a folder of looks i enjoy and i just name the file whatever i enjoy about it. something like "pants fit" or "THAT JACKET" or something
|
lol that's kind of super awesome 
Oh snap, yeah that's a great idea, just saving pictures of looks you think are good.
