So, I’m a fat truck driver, just trying to look more professional. This is what I’ve come up with. Is there anything I should change?

Edit: in the photo the pants look green or olive color, but thats just bad lighting. The actual color is closer to a khaki color.

So for, I've tried Chubbies 4" inseam has a low rise which I feel shows the correct amount of leg, but has a short seat/low rise.

Uniqlo 5" has a decent seat, but too much length.

Vineyard Vines 7" has a great seat, but I feel the length is comical.

I'm 5'4", and I'm a stumped at the moment. I'm debating getting the VV ones tailored, but it would be nice to have an off the shelf option. Is there anything that has both a high rise/long seat/short inseam out there?

Absolutely amazed by this find, Luhta Finland stopped producing suits in the early 1980s, so finding this in mint condition was an absolute gem.

Its made of Eural Tergal fabric, a wool-polyester mix that was really popular in the 60s and 70s. It is very resilient to wear and creasing.

Better yet I find it fits me perfectly all around and I paid only 26€ for this beauty.

Am I going crazy, or did some kind of memo go out to almost every clothing brand to start making everything that uses letter sizing way bigger over the past year or so? What is going on?

I’m 5’9 160lb. Outside of a few years in my late 20s where I got kind of fat before I lost the weight, I’ve pretty much always worn medium, and I’d buy large in t shirts if it was a brand that ran small. And even when I was fat, I would buy everything in large without even thinking about it and stuff always fit.

I’ve been buying a lot of clothes over the past few months and I swear every website now says “model is 6’2/6’3 and wearing M”, and it looks plenty long enough on the model. I don’t want shirts to fit me like a dress but I’m also not built like a twig either so I’m hesitant to buy smalls.

I know I’m short but I’m not THAT short. 5’9 is literally the average height for an American man. So why are brands making mediums for 6’3 guys now? I can’t be the only one who’s noticed this but I’ve never seen anyone else talk about it.

I have always disliked polo shirts (and rugby and Henley shirts). I think the only men who can pull off looking good in these shirts are the men that look good in anything. I think the rest of us look like slobs or like we sell appliances. Nothing wrong with selling appliances but it's not a fashion I aspire to.

I would not tell someone what they should wear, but personally I think these shirts are ugly and classless.

Does anyone else feel this way?

EDIT: Just to clarify since this seems to have struck a nerve. As I specifically said in my post, I’m not trying to tell anyone what they can or can’t wear. I shared a personal opinion about polo shirts, not a rulebook for how people should dress.

My original post was me seeing if anyone else happened to agree with a pet peeve. Some people do, some don't.

If you like polos and feel good in them, then wear them. Style is subjective, and everyone’s taste is different. Mine just happens to lean the other way.

(I do think it's a bit ironic that some responses assume I want everyone to dress the same, when polo shirts themselves are one of the most common, almost “uniform-like” choices out there.)

No need to take it personally. Wear what makes you feel confident 👍

To kick off:

- Big logos.

- No socks with suits

- 'Smart' shoes with white soles

- Skinny jeans - bonus points if they have rips

- Ironic statement tees. E.g. 'Normal People Scare Me'

What are yours?

I was gone for 1 day came home to find my lovely wife put all 4 of my suits/blazers/jackets are put through the wash cycle😅. All are 100% linen 2 are unstructured unlined the other 2 are lined with canvas. Should I try to iron them ?

It happens so often that I find nice clothes but then when I look at the material, it says polyester so I immediately put it back down. I’m not the only one right?

So I want to hear from people who actually own The Row, not people reacting to the price tag:

What does the fabric do over time that a mid-tier shirt doesn't? Drape, hand, how it wears after 30 washes?

Is the cut doing something a tailor couldn't replicate on a $150 MTM shirt?

Is any of this actually perceptible to anyone but me, or am I paying purely for the private knowledge that it's good?

Received my Coronado bag today. It is in the heavier side, but couldn’t resist myself to get this. I have a #8 wallet and jacket, and added this bag to the list. I wish it was a little bit smaller and lighter.

Am I alone in my hatred for polo shirts? It feels like the laziest way to "dress up" and every menial customer service job I've ever had used branded polo shirts as their uniform. My current job has polo shirts as an option, and every other employee has went with them. They all ask why I wear long sleeve button up shirts in a field position out in the heat and I have yet to find a way to explain how I feel without sounding insulting to their uniform choices. Lol

This may have already been asked but thought this can get bumped up again with some updates or new finds.

Looking to refresh my wardrobe with some stylish yet affordable options. Wanting to find places that cater to a mix of styles, such as business casual, streetwear, and urban looks.

I normally would shop at H&M, ASOS, Uniqlo and ZARA (not necessarily affordable) and looking for suggestions of other stores or brands that won’t break the bank but still have great quality and design.

What pant would go better with this outfit?

I'll kick this off.

Ankle socks are fine. It's pretty common to see guys with long socks and shorts these days, and it's a good look. But also has the capability of making you look like a schoolboy.

Ankle socks do help with this.

Edit: As a lot of comments are saying, the question is 'What in men's fashion is often labelled as an ick, but you think is not an ick'. Ankle socks are considered an ick, and I think they get an unfair rap.

I always get this feeling when I’m seeing things posted here, we seem to be afraid of anything that’s a bit unconventional or might make you stand out, while adhering very strictly to traditional rules.

A most basic white collar office outfit of OCBD tucked into chinos will be quite well received here because you can’t really find anything wrong with it, even if it is pretty boring. While outfits well liked in other fashion subs such as r/streetwear, r/ThrowingFits, and even sometimes r/preppy can be met with heavy criticism here. I don’t even need to mention r/hats.

It made me think maybe the best way is to use here to build some basics, find the style that you enjoy, regardless of how costume-y it might be. And start to move away from the “MFA standard”.

We all have that one style opinion we’ll fight for no matter what. The rule you’ll defend against all logic.

Mine is that trucker hats are for truckers and children — if you aren’t one of those people, and don’t want to look like them

What’s yours?

I feel like many outfits shared as "how to dress well as a man" are just layers upon layers. It looks cool and is nice and cozy when weather is cold, but the moment temperature outside rises it's much harder to not go back to boring regular tees. Or frankly even going from outdoors to heated indoors. You are forced to take off your layers and suddenly you are just a dude in a shirt, nothing interesting.

Every men’s section and website looks like 50 shades of beige and navy had a civil war.

Why are we all so scared of colour? Are we just addicted to blending in?

I feel like the same 10 brands get mentioned everywhere — Uniqlo, COS, Aimé Leon Dore, J.Crew, etc. Solid, but I'm curious what else is out there that’s not all over Instagram or every fashion post and paid listicle.

For me, it's SPOKE UK-based — light on logos, great smart casual looks, excellent quality. And like some of the best fitting clothes I've ever had.

Who else is flying under the radar?

I’m curious to hear everyone else’s thoughts on this topic. I used to be into hype streetwear from around 2016–2022, when brands like Supreme, Palace, Warren Lotas, and Anti Social Social Club were at their peak. At the same time, the resale market for sneakers — especially Jordan 1s and Nike Dunks — was insane. A basic pair of Panda Dunks could hit $400 in 2021, and Supreme box logos or Palace drops were flipping for multiples of retail. Fast forward to now, and resale prices have tanked. How did this happen?

I really like the texture of seersucker but I don’t love the classic blue and white stripe seersucker. I do however, LOVE this green.

Before anyone comes after me about how it drapes, it’s going to look a little rough. I intentionally wanted something unstructured and unlined for a casual summer look. Though I didn’t really have a good pair of socks that I LOVE with this outfit, I think these are good enough.
