EPTSo I want a bag I can carry, tote-style, but maybe something I can use all year round.
Something like this would be nice for now + Show Spoiler +

I normally wear 511 but I was in Khol's and I thought I'd try on the 521's just to see how they fit. They're tapered so they're made to fit people that have thicker thighs, etc. I'm skinny as fuck so that is more than likely the reason. I have a few pairs of 511 and I'm going to be investing in some APC's next paycheck - looking forward to it. You sir, are a revolutionist in men's fashion. | ||

Going to be attending my cousins wedding in about a months time. My younger brother and I will be flying over to Sydney to attend. This'll be the first wedding for both of us where we are not attending as kids so neither of us knows how to roll. So first up my brother. He's 16 175cm tall. Skinny asian. I'm thinking slim black suit but as I've said i don't know shit. He needs everything from shirts to shoes. Me. I'm 20 180cm tall 73kg. Currently have a dark/steel grey suit is that ok? I need to check if it still fits I've done a lot of bulking up recently. My Q's are what what colour shirt? and if the suit is ok is it insane to wear a black vest with a grey suit? Let me know if you need more details. Thanks in advance guys. OT: Also i'd like to hear suggestions for wedding ranging from cheap to expensive. | ||

Let me know if you need more details. Thanks in advance guys. OT: Also i'd like to hear suggestions for wedding ranging from cheap to expensive. First off, for your brother, Black suits are more suited to funerals and nightlife, not weddings. You could make it work, but my advice is if it's going to be the first and only suit he'll own for a while, go with navy or gray. They are much more versatile than black, and he will be able to wear it to more events and not seem out of place. As far as shirts, you can't go wrong with white. Light blue is also a traditional and acceptable choice. A light yellow or pink could work as well. You have some leeway here but keep in mind it's a wedding; you don't want a bold red or orange or black that will draw attention to yourself in a negative way. Save those shirts for the club. If your shirt has color make sure it looks ok with your tie choice. Shoes: You basically have 3 color options: Black/Brown/Burgandy. Traditionally, suits should be worn with a Oxford Balmoral-style shoe (as opposed to a Blucher or Derby). Weddings are fairly formal, so I would stick with the former style. Google if you don't know the difference. In terms of versatility, a black cap-toe with no brogueing will be acceptable with almost anything, from semi-formal (black-tie) down to casual, but brown or burgandy with some decoration is perfectly fine at a wedding. Make sure your belt matches. For you: Dark gray should be ok, balance it out with a light colored shirt. I wouldn't wear a vest that didn't come with the suit. | ||

A dark grey or charcoal suit is acceptable for all but the most formal weddings unless the invitation says other wise you are fine. Id say no to the vest though. Color of the shirt and tie is going to depend a lot upon the formality of the wedding. A formal night time wedding in a church you'd probably want a white shirt and a conservative dark colored tie. Outdoor wedding during the day its time to bust out the lavender shirt and a more outgoing tie. Give more details on the wedding on I can give you more ideas. Dark grey suit you should have black shoes. Socks should match your pants if you go the conservative route, but could match your shirt or tie if you go less conservative, but they should never match your shoes. For your brother, a wedding is one of the rare circumstances where black suits are acceptable and even encouraged if it is a very formal wedding. That said if he is done growing I would go for a more versatile color that could serve him well for job interviews as well. Charcoal or navy are the best choices IMO. If he is still growing, then I would have no problem going black, maybe even consider a rental but you have to be careful lots of rentals are crap. Of course slim is good. Black or charcoal suit, again he would want black shoes. If the wedding setting is more casual and he goes with a navy suit id recommend brown shoes. As far as where to buy suits, I have no clue for Australia. But avoid synthetic materials and look for 100% wool suits. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i1252.photobucket.com/albums/hh577/zambrah/Me-front.jpg) What kind of haircut d'you think would suit my face? My hair is generally a little more... feathery, but I had just woken up from a nap, so its a little flatter. For the most part I just can't decide on anything, so gimme some opinions before I go mad. ^_^ | ||

I tried a few hair styles and I ended up keeping about 3 of them that I use depending on what I'm wearing. When in doubt copy George Clooney. But it depends on how your forehead looks. http://www.unfinishedman.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Slick-Back-Hairstyle.jpg | ||

Its a dilemma. Plus, I've had long hair for a LOOOOONG time, and its grown on me (ha. ha.) but I've been told I look good in short hair, but I personally don't like my jawline because its a little wider on the sides than I like. Picking a haircut has been the bane of this two week time span. >_< | ||

On the flip side, you can just pull a clooney hair-cut or some other clean cut and have the added bonus of surprising people with your talent. I wouldn't emphasize the fact that I'm an artist, I would let my art emphasize me. | ||

When I think artsy, I think "I wear it like this because I can." On the flip side, you can just pull a clooney hair-cut or some other clean cut and have the added bonus of surprising people with your talent. I wouldn't emphasize the fact that I'm an artist, I would let my art emphasize me. Hmm, I dunno how I describe this, but I have this image for myself, for the most part I always try to inject a piece of my personality into whatever I'm doin', I try to talk in a more genial fashion via text, much like I'd talk in real life, and I generally have this overarching image of myself I'm trying to actively achieve. Artsy is really an off thing for me to have said, I'll try being as complete and concise as I can. For the most part I think of myself as a highly casual person, so I want a haircut that really embodies this casual side of myself. I'm not sure that the Clooney cut really embodies this casualness I'm aiming to achieve, thats my first concern. As far as the haircut is concerned I'm really mostly concerned about my jawline, because its ever so slightly wider than I'd like, and I'm not sure how well that would pan out with the Clooney. Not only that, but I'm also of the opinion that my forehead was on the longer side, which further worries me. | ||

Your chinos look like the perfect length IMO. From what I can see that looks like the start of a very good look. | ||
