does this mix & match combination look okay?
I’m wearing a dark navy suit jacket with a striped dress shirt that comes with a tie along with black dress trousers and black dress shoes that are none-shiny.

Try grey trousers that are less slim
The shirt would be better it it was white or light blue
I’m at the store rn should I buy these 4 dress shirts?
I was thinking of using the dark red and black one for outfits without a tie and the light grey and light blue for outfits with a tie
I'd only buy the light blue one. The others are pretty bad tbh
Ok the other 3 are quite expensive they are Calvin Klein and like $80 each
so? a lot of stuff can be subjectively expensive and still bad.
They aren’t jeans though

Yeah I think better trousers are gonna make the biggest impact here
Should I size up with the same ones?
No I would get a different cut and fabric
What do you suggest?
Cheaper end probably has something passable, for slightly more Spier and mackay are pretty well regarded
If you plan on wearing them with this jacket you should get a color other than black or navy
and generally avoid stretch fabrics for dress clothing
Depending on your climate go for a linen or wool majority blend
Can I ask why the burgundy/black/grey are objectively bad? Can't you make them work with different pants or jackets?
The situations where they work are fewer and harder to execute
Someone could do it sure but not worth trying if you don’t already know how to make it work
OP I support you but that fit is criminal
😂😂 I’m starting to realize, I’m planning on grabbing some used suits on eBay and maybe getting one brand new.
Secondhand suit shopping is great, can get something really great for not much at all
The pants are too slim and the suit jacket doesn't function great as a blazer. Generally you should stick to light colored shirts, white and light blue are the easiest colors to work with. Calvin Klein is not a good company, do not buy from them.
Black isn't a great color for odd trousers either. Gray and brown, especially in mid and light shades, are best
Yeah I’m in New Jersey and there’s a bunch of used suits for sale in the area on Fb marketplace.
There’s a warehouse here I found on marketplace and I called they said they sell brand new suits from brands such as Zannetti, Hart Schaffner Marx, Jack Victor, Joseph Abboud and others. They said all suits are $150 each, do you think this is a scam?
I wouldn’t know but I’m sure you can get better suits secondhand than any of those brands
For similar or lower prices
I ordered two secondhand ones for a pretty good price and the measurements look promising. Hopefully it fits well
