Help me figure out semi-casual?
For cocktail hours and wedding parties. I'd love to hear what changes or new pieces you think these fits need to come together.
IMO higher quality and more hemmed charcoal wool pants would help everything. And maybe some kind of updated blazer....

Where to cuff these pants?
which length works best here (if any)?
the pants are more of a faded black/dark gray that doesn't blend in with the shirt nearly as much as these would indicate, but the iOS camera app crushes shadows...

Business casual coats/jackets?
I was wondering what to wear to the office once it starts getting colder. I'm not talking about a fall jacket but a winter coat to wear when it's ~0 degrees Celsius (~32 F if not mistaken). Not looking for particular brands (although feel free to share), more like "types" of coats and jackets. My only 2 dealbreakers are:
- i want something that doesn't have a hood
- i don't want an overcoat (i'm rather short so they are difficult to pull off)...
What can i improve
Something about my outfits feels off and i don’t know what it is, im pretty new to fashion so I can’t tell

Cropped/No-Break Wool Trousers?
Hey everyone, curious what the current view is on cropped wool trousers - or ones with no break? I just don't love the current super-baggy style in fashion right now, but happy with a little looser fit. Pics attached for the general idea.
Any recommendations in the $100-$200 USD range would be great. I haven't found a good tailor either so I'm nervous about buying something expensive that would need shortening on the inseam.
Thanks!...

Fit check - comment below
Hello, I ordered some linen shirts, trousers and a pair of suade loafers for a holiday next week in corfu. Shirts took a while to arrive and feel a bit baggier than I am used to. I’m 6ft and a bit. 183 lbs. I tend to be an awkward in between size with a lot of brands as L is often too roomy in the midriff, but M and my sleeves length stops short halfway up the arms.
How do we think the fit of this stuff is? I was in two minds about returning it but I’ve kind of run out of time to replace now
Can I get away with this being baggy? Use will be at restaurants in the evening for dinner. The resort requires men to wear shirts and cover up arms and legs in the evening ...
Boot dupe hunt

is gap tts or vanity?
I’ve been eyeing their 90s loose fit chinos but I don’t know if they’re tts or vanity sizing but my guess is they’re vanity but before getting them I just wanted to see if anyone else had experience ordering off gap and what the sizing is like, I’m normally a 32-33 waist
Thank you!...

How would you style denim boots?
So I really like these boots but how would you style them I think fatigues would go well but what other pants and out layer would work?

Oversized sweater styling
So I potentially made a mistake. I bought the following sweater, which was advertised as a Vintage Large. It's 30" pit to pit, way up from the usual 23-24" I wear. The sleeves are just right at 23" however l, which has me thinking:
Is this salvageable if I style it intentionally? Or did I completely screw the pooch?
Make is LL Bean, looks to be a well taken care of 80% wool 20% rayon piece...

Polyethylene in clothing
My viscose pants I bought are 20% polyethylene- so like, PE, the basic plastic from water bottles etc
I’ve never seen it in clothes I think? I was wondering why it’s not more common, knowing it’s the most produced type of plastics!
Have you seen instances of PE on material composition tags?
Just curious, thanks!...
meermin sizing waxy commander chelsea (516054)
https://eu.meermin.com/products/516054-black-waxy-commander-e-ultraflex-system
I've never owned chelseas or even waxy commander shoes/boots, so I'm not sure what to expect in terms of how much the width will stretch vs just going 1/2 size up. I'm contemplating going up from 9.5 to 10.
I got the chelsea boots and have walked around indoors a bit while wearing thick (or double layering) socks to try and speed up the stretching....

Other Online Fashion Spaces?
Hello !!
I am hoping that ppl here have useful recommendations in two different areas, they are:
1. does anybody know any spaces like this server but with more womenswear, young ppl, or experimental fashion? Everybody i know irl who dresses well just uses like tiktok, insta and pinterest for inspo but i dont like scrolling bc it makes my brain numb :c I know EHF is kinda that but i prefer to lurk and i think they require more active participation?
2. are there any big sources of fashion book pdf's? archive.org and archive.pdf are both very threadbare and i havent had any luck with any of the obvious book piracy websites. r there like private trackers or usenet groups that everybody uses?...
Any decent guide on judging clothes quality?
I've seen some of the MFAD recommended brands and pretty much none of them are available in my country, so is there a way to appraise the quality of the garment without the reliability of a brand?
Harrington Jacket Help
Hello I am looking at getting a Harrington or similar blouson style jacket for Fall and Spring wear.
I’m mainly between either a Baracute G9 or the Grenfell Harrington. Both look good, but there is less info on the Grenfell and I can’t see sizing for it.
Is this a versatile jacket, and is one brand better than the other? I’m mainly looking at new as I’m too small and slim to fit a vintage jacket....
Thoughts on these NikeCraft x Tom Sachs shoes?
These are a limited edition of the NikeCraft General Purpose Shoe collab with Tom Sachs. They're being offered as a consolation prize to anyone who participated in the recent ISRU event and didn't win the Mars Yard 3.0s. The images are mockup as they haven't been made yet.
I'm a fan of Sachs's work despite his flaws, but not enough of a fan that I would want these solely for that reason. I kind of like them, but I'm not a sneakerhead by any means, so I'm not sure how often I'd wear them. In any event, I guess they're a good pickup at $110 since the basic General Purpose Shoe sells for around $150.
Any thoughts on the look of these and what to wear with them?...

How are well fitting shoes supposed to feel?
Is the toe box supposed to be loose? Snug? Is the arch support meant to be flush against the sole of your foot? Or is it supposed to feel like its digging up into your foot? Or is your foot supposed to feel like you're barefoot/the arches are suspended over the air?
I get bad foot pain after very little walking despite being relatively active and in shape - I think it's a shoe fit problem? I get around it somewhat by stacking insoles, but I was told that was only a bandaid solution for shitty ass shoes....
