Is a blazer like this suitable for wearing with Jeans?

I'm looking to expand my wardrobe into more "formal" wear, as i feel slightly underdressed when going out with my partner. I hear that you should maybe start with a navy blazer/sports coat and a grey blazer/sports coat, and also that to wear with jeans/less formally you should look for either patterned or rougher textures to the blazer.
So, would a grey blazer like this match up with dark jeans, or would you feel this is a blazer that is part of a suit and would look out of place without matching trousers?...

Tee sleeves extending past short sleeve shirts?

The first tee is a buck mason 90s boxy fit and the second is a uniqlo airism oversized, both in medium underneath medium shirts. Unfortunately, these two styles make up the bulk of my tee rotation, so this has the potential to happen a lot. I don't think it's automatically terrible, although I do think in the second photo it might be excessive. I've seen Matheson and others do it intentionally, but that's typically in the context of fits that are grungier and more vintage. Under what circumstanc...

Summer Cocktail Attire

I have a work convention in two weeks and just found out one of night's events that I have to attend will have cocktail attire. I have lost a ton of weight the last 3 years, so none of my old suits will fit. Which means I need to find something. We are also in Phoenix and it will be the first week of June, so temps will be over 100f, even at night it will be pushing 90 probably. I was thinking of maybe doing a pair of dressier linen pants and a linen sport coat. Maybe a navy pant and a lighter blue sports coat if I can find one. You think this would be ok for cocktail attire, or more dark suit would be more cocktail attire appropriate?...

What type of fabric is this?

I got a new button up shirt a few weeks ago and I really like it. It has a unique fabric that I've seen before in more like Caribbean fashion, but I don't know its name. The label says 100% cotton and the online description doesn't give much. It's quite rough and textured, thick but breathable. This is the product page...

If my Dr Cleaner Couldn't Get Pen Ink Out of My Pants...

Is There Any Shot Oxi Clean Max Force Laundry Stain Remover Would?

Do either of these ties go with the fit?

Or should I just wear a more basic shirt like a white and blue vertical stripe? IMO: either could work but the black is pretty busy. Wish I had some knit ties! Also: I'd change the knot on the blue tie to be smaller...

please roast my MTM suit plans

I want to get a suit from Suit Supply that I can wear for fun when I go out (with loafers/casual shirt), but that -- secondarily -- can also double as a suit for occasions that require formal wear (funerals/weddings, will happen very rarely), where I want to dress it up with oxfords/white shirt/tie. I'd buy this berg&berg suit, but I can't mix/match sizes, so I'm going MTM with a very similar fabric. I'd also like it to look a touch more relaxed. I have pretty wide shoulders (54 is sometimes tight), with a 6in drop to my waist....

Favorite source for fashion news and history content

I feel like currently my only source for learning about what designers are/have been doing and seeing trends or collabs in the fashion world is through algorithmic slop. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for outlets to consume fashion content and writing more intentionally. Maybe that’s a good blog or journalist or even a YouTube channel that talks about what big designers are doing or have done. Hell, even some books maybe. I am aware this question is ridiculously broad, but I am up for finding out about lots of niches, so that’s alright....

Yet another belt thread

Hello, I need cooler belts, hoping to just see what brands and varieties people like, bit of inspo searching bit of help finding picks. Sweet spot cost wise would be $100 but would stretch up to $200 if I like a lot, or pay less if the value is good. Specifically not looking for western type belts, if it has detailing or designs on it I really prefer more minimal over maximal. I'm also opinionated about the buckle, if it's gonna be chunky I really want it to be boxy, don't like when buckles curve out really big like is typically seen on three piece belts. I do like the hardware of three piece belts though, esp the metal tip. Some inspo attached....

How to know what size to get for a high rise pants?

Hey everyone, I'm looking at a pair of pants I'd like to get and the size guide says around 80cm waist pants measurement for the only size that is in stock. I'm almost 80cm when I measure around where an underwear is on (I have no idea how it's called in English), but if I measure around the bellybutton like most sites say I'm around 75cm. I still need to bulk more. Am I measuring correctly? Am I cooked and the size just doesn't fit me? Thanks in advance yall

Summer Capsule Wardrobe

I have no wardrobe right now. I'm trying to figure out what clothes I'm going to buy for this (and ideally the next few) summers. My total budget for everything is $500 because I'm still in high school and saving for other shit, but I'm willing to go beyond that even if it means waiting for a few paychecks. I'm nowhere near finding "my style" or any style for that matter, and I'm not even completely sure what I want to wear, I just know I want to dress better. ...

Non-Staining Deoderants

Hi all. I’ve been having some issues with deodorants staining the underarms of shirts. Looking to try some different options and would appreciate any recommendations! I’m UK based and ideally the deodorant would be minimally scented and easily available and under £7.50. Open to roll on, bar and sprays. Thanks!
