Yes, indeed!

I completely agree with SalPic’s advice below. While seersucker might be a bit much for anyone who is not a Southern Senator on Seersucker day, gingham and plaid, dark denim and decent fitting jeans are the way to go.

That’s a VERY common conundrum. Totally.

As you can see above, a lot of guys are wondering about this. Frankly, I’m skeptical, but I’m open.

That, my friend, is exactly the problem. The answer is: you don’t. Let other people make mistakes for you, and if a friend has a sweet suit and they got it from TooGoodToBeTrue.com, then take the plunge. Otherwise, stick to gear you can try on.

The OCBD is the greatest style-invention since the shirt itself. Great advice.

Such an awesome question, and I love Matilda Kahl’s unform! My uniform used to be jeans, oxford, and boots. Every day. Forever. So, you’re speaking my language.

For sure! 4 steps to step-up your style game.

My relationship to clothing is very tactile. I like to touch, feel, try on - maybe even smell something I’m going to pay good money for (oh, yes, some nice suits smell amazing).

We have the exact opposite style-challenge. I’m a pretty short guy and finding stuff that fits is a challenge. There is not easy-fix, I’m afraid - it all depends on the offerings of the shops where you’d like to find your gear.

Totally understandable that folks wanna keep costs down. Plenty of ways to do that. To begin with, rather than aiming for cheaper clothing, think about smarter shopping. Spend some time getting to know what you like, what fits, and what you’d like to buy. In many cases, you can find that exact item online, on sale -
