@Jason, Ya I purchased that shirt from Nordstrom Rack, it Fits like a glove, no tailoring needed, very very trim on me. Its a size 16 fyi. I actually wore that shirt for my wedding earlier this year, I love to rock it with alot of different outfits. Cost was about 22 dollars from theRack.


I to researched the brand after my purchase, and I was impressed with what I found! They have really nice shirts and blazers.I always look for the brand when I go to Nordstrom Rack. 100+ for their shirts online, or 22 bucks like mentioned above

Wow... Yeah, I'd love to have a Nordstrom Rack nearby. I'm thinking tax return time may involve a visit to NYC for Nordstrom Rack, Neiman Marcus LastCall, Century 21, and Suit Supply.

Heh, where I love, all I have is a Nordstrom Rack, Macy*s (which is under stocked) and like a Patrick James. Oh also a Banana Republic which doesn't carry hardly anything for our area. We have a j. Crew for woman only...wtf is that ? lol. Than, its just online : / . wish we had better department stores.


All we can do is work with what we got right? hehe

@Tat, poor guy, luckily you have an internet connection, but that must be the cause of alot of returns i bet?

I dig those socks

@MaxMan, nice combination. Like all of it really. I can't pull off red like that (it washes me out) so it's cool to see it used boldly.

[jason_carreira]

I agree. Very nice. Love the shirt, sweater, sock combination.

The sleeves are a little long on the jacket (as you can probably see by the bunching). I'll need to get it tailored at some point, but the buttons are non-functional so it should be an easy fix. I was inspired by Jason's paisley tie yesterday, had to bust out one of my own.


@ MaxMan - I really like the colors you've got going on, especially how the red sweater picks up on the red stripes in the shirt and your socks. Very put-together.

I'm just about to walk out the door wearing a matching belt, shoes, and tie.


Is that a problem? They are all dark brown.

Andrew,


That probably isn't a look you want to cultivate. Maybe replace the belt and shoes? Wearing laced shoes with shorts is usually a mistake.

[andrew_ryne_carlson]

believe it or not, those are slip ons. My phone camera is pretty horrible. They were these:

either way, I think you're right. If I ever go back to that I'll either wear sneakers or maybe I'll just switch it up with a blue knit tie.

[LesserBlackDog]

I was gonna say, I thought those shoes looked like loafers. I'm not a big fan of the sockless loafer/shorts look, but that's mostly a matter of taste, and I know there are plenty of stylish guys who dig it.


I think the outfit is on the right track, but it borders on looking like a prep school uniform with the shorts/tie combo and conservative color palette. If you're going to wear the outfit, you need to really own it - add in a bold tie rather than a conservative brown one, or some other strong accessory that really makes the look your own. Maybe wear a watch and a couple of leather bracelets on one wrist, if that's your kind of thing. I think the outfit just needs something to break up the uniform feeling.

I've been forgetting to take pics recently, so instead here's an outfit I wore earlier this fall when it was still quite warm:
