Re: GQing yourself
Don't get it twisted all that shit is NICE but it aint cheap. Use this as a guide to what you buy and whats fashionable.
If you looking for a job you wont be able to jump up and get gear exactly like that.
Remember FIT is everything I know so many dudes that got some new money and will go out and buy/wear the most expensive shit Hermes, Prada, Dior but the shit doesnt "fit" properly and looks like shit.
Word of Advice a 40-70 dollar shirt from Express/Banana Republic(20-30 on sale) that you then take to a Tailor and get properly fit to your body will look just as good on you than the 300 dollar shirt you just bought and threw on your back. Same with pants and Suits! If you aint got the loot shop smart(you should be buying your winter shit now) and use a tailor and you will look like a million bucks. Then once you get that Job you will already have all the basics and the w neclothes you get you will already have your Tailor connect to have you proper.

Re: GQing yourself
She's adorable and she's got all the trends nailed down.
Basquiat yea?(jocking I know he died)
i'll be honest...not a big fan. everything is a bit too diva-ish and not so subtle, like the whole point was to look rich rather than beautifully dressed. i mean, she's very cute and all but i think if it wasn't a marc jacobs jacket this photo might be something else
A beautiful girl and great, fresh and effortless style. Plus I love the scarf & glasses she's wearing, they add a retro feel to the outfit.
As they say in spain......FABULOSA !!!!!!!!!! TOTALMENTE FABULOSA !!!!!!!!!.
Little things are big here. How often do you see a solid colored double breasted suit? I think it looks so much more restrained than the typical pin striped version. And the slant pockets make it unrestrained again. This is the first time I've seen a double breasted suit that I'd wear.

Re: GQing yourself
I agree with you 100% but then again if someone is ready to spend $150 on sneakers, then i dont think there would be a problem with buying a $40 shirt. Its always good to hunt for bargains and sales. Yes some might come across as expensive but its good to shop around
This is the fashion designer boateng i dig his London style

Re: GQing yourself
Great suit, great pocket treatment, great smile!
But I must object to, first, the collar, which, to my mind, is overly stiff--so stiff, it buckles. And to the double (triple?) windsor, whose final size, albeit in a spread collar, is exaggeratedly large.
(Don't mind the "controversial" double tie dimple, which works with the oversize knot.)

Re: GQing yourself
can BGOL tell me something about these TIGHT JEANS? Is this the latest fashion? coz everywhere i go all i see is girls with skin tight jeans. This outfit is attainable rather than aspirational (that said, I have no idea how much this particular coat costs). The general gist of it, however, is casual style and it's very nice...even with "skinny jeans." Not sure what SOL sisters will say
Oh, this guy looks like Robert Duvall in the Godfather.I have a hat similiar to that
Yes these are not Americans
A classic look that could have been worn by Cary Grant. The three-button jacket (can just see the button-hole below the roll of the jacket collar) is correctly fastened on the centre button only, and the shirt is a beautiful shade of blue. Are the shoes a very dark brown or is my browser playing up?

His face looks like there's a story to be told, which is the first thing I notice about the picture actually. Very strong facial features. Or it could be the very fine jacket and scarf that falls just right.

The glasses are a bit SuperFly, thus seem incongruous, but he looks great in them. They're not really "Monk" in looks, but they certainly are in attitude.

Re: GQing yourself
this guy has some great things going for him...the jacket and pocket square are great. and the glasses are wonderful for him. i'm impressed...but i'm also wondering...if he knew enough to get all of those things to come together so well, why did he choose to let his tie fail so badly. its the right color, pattern, scale...its all fine, but its tied soooo short, and that knot...good god. if he had gotten that right, he would have really made an impact...no?

Re: GQing yourself
I have to co-sign with this. Every time a brother step up to me asking for a job wearing "thug gear" and here I am with my staff wearing a shirt and tie, I have to ask myself are you serious??? And when I tell them this is a shirt and tie position most say "na man can't do that" ???? If my staff and I wore jean and a t-shirt then I have no issues with that.
If applying for a job alway show up in a shirt and tie or suit
first impression gets you notice and the chance to talk to the hiring manager!!!
http://www.tiedtogreatness.com/
Last week one of the brothers here didn't have a clue what to wear fro a job interview..so thought we should have a thread on GQing ourselves and please drop us those secret address where one can get good bargains on clothes from Proper suits to trainers.
Being in London everything here is just rip off, that said i am seriously considering having a tailor made suit from Saville Row but at bargain price
I think this tweed coat is really cool even though i am not feeling the color
sisters are also free to contribute

Re: GQing yourself
Great post and comments. I see you have an eye for style. Not just clothes, but style; and there is a difference.
I live in Texas and seersucker is not just dapper, but functional. It breathes like no other fabric, other than good linen. 99 degree heat, no problem. The slightest breeze flows straight through.
Truth. I had a cousin with fashion sense and style. If you know what looks good on you, you can go to a thrift shop and make the clothes work.
Interesting. I didn't see anything that I thought looked gay. Nothing. In fact, all the post of suits appear to be quite expensive and very masculine. Most of these are obviously European and therefore have a more tailored fit. Including tapered coats and slim leg pants.
But let me request that in keeping with the thread title...for the young bloods just starting out: How about some Blazer/Slack combos, because you can do more with less. Mix and Match.
And in the US, one can never go wrong with a Blue blazer and starched khaki slacks. Dress it down with an open collar button down or dress it up with a pin point Oxford and tie. Standard business attire. Lawyer uniform.

It sucks when old men kick your ass in the fashion sense department.
What can I say, he looks great, a dapper gentleman. Seersucker forever!

Re: GQing yourself
This gentleman isn't an usher, but a deacon. He is charged, as a deacon, to wear a black suit, white shirt, black tie, on 1st and 3rd Sundays. You can best-well believe that this young man wouldn't be seen in anything less on the respective Sundays. He reminds me very much of the deacons in the church that many African Americans grew up in. Many African-Americans escaped the Jim Crow South in the 40's, 50's, and 60's, and their wonderful style infiltrated places like Harlem, Detroit, Chicago, Philly, etc.
I'm sure that this youngster was no different. Some might disagree but the church gave these men a sense of belonging and something to represent. It beams through their confidence and the way they don their duds.
You can't buy that kind of elegance, that posture of dignity and respect. Classy. Timeless style and elegance which is not for sale.

his man looks thoroughly dignified while still completely approachable. What I wouldn't give for an hour's conversation - and oh the stories he'd tell.
This is what i call style! No brands, no trends pure form and taste.He has a world of his own.Wouldn´t it be wonderful to live a life of YOUR own-free from all the things that really don´t matter.

Re: GQing yourself
Thanks man...I have always wanted to have a business that specializes in MENS CLOTHING...suits, shirts and all...something like this. I did some research sometimes back but work commitments meant i couldnt pull it off..thinking maybe when i am done with rat race i might be able to do it. Its a very slow business though as men are not frequent buyers like women, but when they do they would spend shit loads of money and they are loyal as well
