EPTI noticed a lot people here don't really fancy skinny jeans, I tend to prefer them over slim fit as majority of the brands don't fit very well. The leg openings tend to be too baggy for me.

http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=5286&vid=1&pid=329850002 Any recommendations for stuff that might go well with this? I live in Canada so it's pretty much jackets and winterboots until March/April... For reference I'm 6'7" and about 200lbs. | ||

I prefer chukkas, and I also tend to prefer over slim pants. Skinny asian boy and all, I do feel that they end up looking better on me as I feel anything else looks too baggy | ||

The leg openings tend to be too baggy for me. chukkas, but it really depends on the outfit. my jeans have loosened over time, but it was a wild ride through high school. first pair of skinny jeans all the way to girl jeans and back. i still keep a pair of girl jeans around, i like the low rise and the fit's good if you sag a little.

It's rather rough and stiff, but it's warm as hell cause the lambswool is so thick. Not itchy, surprisingly. On December 16 2012 08:12 Lith wrote: I figured I could ask you guys for some help...

Dunno what you mean about style. Each one of them does different styles, although in the case of CDG a lot of them involve having the logo. if you mean the very bold style (like thevivennoir link you posted)... I really wouldn't know :p. | ||

for printed graphic stuff go through really low level stores and see if you can buy a bunch (im talking HM, F21, etc low level), just for the sake of unique designs. for the camo pants, go dockers alpha khaki has camos http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=24232720 / http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/dockers-alpha-khaki-slim-straight-leg-chinos/3343116 for the wallet chain idk how to help you hahaha. go get a cheaper set of chains from hot topic and mod a wallet? for the crewneck theres a lot of crewnecks you can buy, just pick one with a design you like. spring for adidas doe. till you can go for MMM/CP | ||

I hope you can find all of them by googling. Put This On is by far the best and most practical menswear blog I know of right now, but I also really enjoy A Suitable Wardrobe I haven't updated my list in a long time so it's likely there are some new blogs out there worth following at this point here's a few looks recently that i've liked. feel free to rip apart + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/wxcBh.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MDrOh.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/fVrjD.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/yU23b.jpg) I wear my APC and DBs together a lot. r/w scarf clashes with the rest of your outfit. parka makes your upper body more boxy and makes your legs look stumpy. I thought those were doc martens but either way duck boots are overhyped and hideous. I'm also not feeling the cargo pants but these two are just personal biases. Last outfit is best overall. | ||

You should be able to find those weird guys for less than $200.. the store I work at has camo weirdguys for $160 Canadian (brick and mortar store only).. the rest of that stuff I can't help you with other than to say that spending money on things like that crew neck isn't worth it. Even though that site says ''the best 16oz french terry cotton...'' it's still 100% cotton with a silk screen logo on it, most likely cost less than $22.50 to manufacture.. buy clothes that will be timeless and last you a long time made out of good materials, then it's worth the investment. The brands you listed above are all pretty vastly different in style.. if you're looking for lower budget items (there is no shame in that) Naked and Famous designs an Unbranded denim that has the same fits as N&F denim without the same Japanese fabrics (which depending on who you talk to is overrated anyways) you can find at Urban Outfitters and somewhere online..I think they're actually called Unbranded but I've never looked into them as I get N&F, Nudies, etc. at cost There are a lot of basic/more mainstream streetwear brands like Stussy Deluxe, Reigning Champ, etc. that seem to fit your style that are pretty affordable. I am not sure though because I'm more into basic cut and sew staples As for denim Nake and Famous and their unbranded brand are basically the best pricepoint denim..anything as nice / nicer in decent selvedge or raw denim is gonna cost you more. | ||

I like the clash for the sake of contrast but i see your point. yeah anything puffy on me just makes me look like a...thing... or something. unfortunately its cold and wet :[. Although for some reason a lot of things just make me look stumpy. Might be the jeans (last one is levis, vs APC PS), but i dunno. you'd probably hate my timbs haha | ||

If they were tighter that this, I wouldn't have any balls left. D: in the thighs, there's less than half an inch of give. I need to get these hemmed, for sure. They don't stack well anyway. But I'm at an odd length, in between 30 & 32. I just picked up some brownish oxfords today. Johnston and Murphy. I'll post a pic later. | ||

The jean jacket seems nice enough. Jacky Chan poster is a 10/10 though. I would put it in my will to be buried with that poster if I were you. | ||
