Great look and love the shoes-are they expensive?

From Sunday. 80° and sunny for a friend's barbeque.



Shirt: J crew linen
Shorts: Old navy
Shoes: Payless cheapo canvas shoes that I bought last year to tide me over till I bite the bullet and buy a pair of Sperrys. Those would have totally finished the look. (I'm going to crack any day now)

Not pictured: Sunglasses - black wayfarers

I'd wait to find Sperry's on sale or at least somewhere that offers a sale code every now and then. Those look good and I would never have guessed payless.

shoebuy.com has 20% off right now so you can get the $95 originals in tan for 20% off. If you vary on color and such, 50% off can be easy to have if you look around discount sites like 6pm, Nordstrom Rack, Amazon, shoebuy, sperry's website at times.

The frugalmalefashion sub-reddit is great for picking up on deals and just checking the sites. Some will mention Sperry specifically, others will just mention a sale and they may have them. But I mean 20% off is great and it seems you may be able to get something like $30 off about once a month when shoebuy has a better sale.

Rue and Gilt have sperrys on sale a lot. IMO if it's something that you're going to be wearing a lot and something you know that you'll enjoy, I'm not sure it's worth playing the waiting game for an extra $10-$20 off.

Looks good to me, shoulders might be a bit wide but I wouldn't think twice about it even if you paid full price. Full disclosure: my opinion is worth exactly $0.02. Well done.

My opinion is also worth about 2 cents, but I think the more aggressive shoulders are part of the style, especially considering how narrow the waist is and the slim cut of the pants in comparison. I think it looks great, and the only thing I would think about it is maybe having the trousers shortened get rid of some of the stacking around the ankles.

Thanks for the thought! Yeah the shoulders are the only thing. Suit was $20 Canadian. Is it quite noticeable?

Looks like a business suit. The shoulders are fine. Would consider shortening trousers a bit. Im not a fan of the very short trousers but those have noticeable breaks, several. Depends on how they are sitting at your waist though. If sitting properly, a little shorter would be better.

Wear the suit with pride. $20 is a steal.

That’s a British suit. You can tell by the hacking (i.e. angled) pockets and aggressive shoulders. It’s inspired by military uniforms and supposed to look puffed-up and martial. The shoulders are integral to the design. I agree that the trousers could come up a touch. Keeping with the military look, they’re not supposed to have a break. The suit looks great on you and for $20 Canadian you got an awesome deal. Score!
