Really love the dress, but dislike the shoes and legging! (when will they run out of fashion) Looks like every single girl i see has one. They make the dress look enormous with very small legs.

He wears the suit well (everyone can actually put a hand in the jacket pocket without looking sloppy). The contrast collar and spread also suits his head and skin tone.

A custom tailor would relish the opportunity to could even those shoulders out and give a little suppression.

This is the epitome of dapper! The man has cojones to wear a bowler AND button flower AND pocket square AND not come off as an all-too-self-aware effete dandy

This brotha's use of layers exemplifies the post-jazz age. The hoodie is a nod to American Hip Hop culture. The "po-boy" cap celebrates the spirit of industry. The blue blazer, class, bearing, presence. And to cap it off, a dazzling blue Hermes' scarf, a nod to the aristocracy.

The rings, the fist, the gorgeous visage make me want to know this brotha. Is he a professor? An artist? A musician? A revolutionary?

Love her look... the slouchy-at-the-waist pants and that preppy cardigan are such a great mix. Plus, the shoes are also cool.some sisters can really pull it off

- the colours; just black and white, yellow, red and orange. the orange piece under his chin gives the picture the kicking accent! the writings are like a frame around him. I am not into graffity, but this effect is really impressive to me! very basquiat some might disagree but thats my opinion

Older folks know how to pull it off. I wonder if that is a custom shirt, because the collar size is just perfect. If it is a custom shirt, then the unbuttoned shirt cuffs are an affectation (he could certainly have requested cuffs that fit loosely), but a harmless one.
 
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.

alot of what you said makes sense

Bush wore a Texas-style Don’t-Tread-on-Me belt and a dress shirt with two front flapped pockets (just like Soviet-slayer Charlie Wilson), while Putin chose to wear an outright military jacket, complete with ammo pockets, epaulets, and belting. Looking at the two’s cheerful faces,can recall a line from Will Rogers:
“Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘Nice doggie’ until you can find a rock.”

Apple has released the all new Mac Pro which comes with eight processor cores making this the fastest Mac ever released. The new Mac Pro comes with huge processing power with two Intel's new 45 nanometer Quad-Core Xeon processors. Gamers, graphic designers and other creative professionals will have no trouble as it comes with the latest ATI or Nvidia graphic cards. This computer is not for everyone as it cost $2,799 but if you want the fastest Mac in the market, this is the computer you're looking for.

I see you fuck with alot of color too Boro. Thats been my problem over the years. I'm the black, white, gray, and blue type. Time to colorize my wardrobe a lil. Now I got some direction, so I'll go look around in Macys and Bloomy's later today.

props again and a bump.

I'm the same why..
all shades of blue(except powder blue), black, grey, white (in the summer)

I'm not changing though..
when you stick to the basic colors you can mix and match different pieces better...

I feel you on this. I went twelve years and never wore anything but a white shirt with my suits. Super funky ties to express individuality, but nothing but white shirts. Nothing. Period. Different collars, cuffs and fabrics, but all white.

Within the last five years I have transitioned to color and print shirts.....and the variety is refreshing. Certain occasions require the white, but most of the time the flair of a colored shirt and funky tie keeps me looking when I pass a mirror. lolol

:lol::lol::lol:
 
Re: GQing yourself

What the fuck did this thread turn into? I thought the thread was about how guys should dress for an interview. Now boro has turned it into his own shopping network. WTF Nigga sound like Joan Rivers on one them E channel specials. And some of those clothes are straight up wack. Some of yall mofos have no sense of style. You'd have to be gay to wear some of those shit that boro posted
 
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

what are you going to dress the local butlers? A suit should be simple and classic.
 
Re: GQing yourself

Suits can be chosen to fit the occasion. I might not wear a suit like this when arguing before a jury, but I would be perfectly comfortable dressing like this for a night of dinner and theater with the wife. In fact I would feel rather dapper and sporty stepping out at the valet stand.

And the looks one gets when being seated in a nice restaurant? sheeiiit.

Men: "I wish I could dress like that." You could if you had some nuts.

Women: "I wish my date would dress like that." He would if he was me....holla.!
 
Re: GQing yourself

I agree with you. I have been in situations where how i dressed became the issue isntead of the the purpose of the meeting. I remember having a business meeting with some Germans(Siemens) and was trying to work my way for some price reductions on machines we were aboutto Purchase..well..nothing happened as i ended up giving him advice on the right shoes and clothes..yes got huge discount on the machine...that dude thought i was in the wrong industry

the bottom line Image is everything...and personally i love to look for secret shop addresses for my shirts and suits. Nowadays I am conscious how i dress everything i step out coz you never know
