BGOL SARTORIALISTS: A thread

Re: GQing yourself

Cool thread.

Seeing that summer is soon upon us, can you post some summer/hot weather threads (clothes).

My fall/winter wardrobe is pretty slick but my spring/summer can use a boost.

I'm kinda getting tired of the Polos and cargo shorts.

:cool:

Re: GQing yourself

i love most of the fits in this thread and i try to dress like that on the daily. i might try to put up some pictures later.

Re: GQing yourself

I do not see anyone mention coats. The perfect coat, never out of style is full length cashmere coat. Dark color..black, or dark blue, or brown.

Any suggestions on a fit to rock with these. Slacks and a button up shirt??

I get what you were trying to do with this thread, but alot of this stuff looks too European for me.

I have similar thoughts on the Euro-centric theme, but the basic elements of style in here are pervasive and undeniable. This is a great thread!

Contrary to the undeniably expensive styles displayed in this thread, you can do wonders if you know what you're doing by shopping at a place like Burlington Coat Factory, Marshall's, or K&G and enlisting the assistance of a good tailor.

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.”

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.

i'll jsut cosign whatever you posted in the thread thus far.
im all up for innovation when it comes to style. venturing off and finding your own style, not conforming to the masses.

Its actually suggested for Shorter men 5'9 and below to never(rarely) wear a belt with a Suit or most Slacks.
This wasnt the case long ago when all Dress slacks came PLEATED and pleated pants REQUIRE A BELT for an actual body line to form.
Dress wear for SHORTER guys is hard to work with thats for damn sure.


The key point to take away from this thread is that Pleated front pants are DEAD if you still wear them you are about 10 years behind fashion and not FLY at all.

Like I said earlier it all falls on FIT.
 
Re: GQing yourself

Not to hijack the thread...but there's a lot of good advice here, so I was hoping that someone could recommend a pair of shoes that goes with this:

Thanks in advance...
 
Re: GQing yourself

Some people would say black shoes but I think it looks like SHIT!!!

Id go with something Tan/Camel Suede(lighter browns) , If you are in the South White will work, and If you have class I would go with Cordovan especially if you have a tie that color or a lil Darker. Depending on the actual EVENT you could pull of Specific pairs of Sperry Top Siders if its for a Boat party or something of that length.

I hate Blue Seersucker(To Matlock) now Brown and Red thats a whole different story!

very well put. i didnt know the no belt thing was for shorter dudes. but i dont even rock pleated pants anymore. that shit is just.......wack to me. i've been rockin the no belt style for a minute now when i wear my slacks. i had to ask someone while back whether it was cool to wear my style to work when i was workin at this mortgage bank. tie every day, french cuffs, but i hated wearing a built because my slacks fit me perfectly. flat front no pleats. what they told me was to wear a belt when wearing a tie and no built when not wearing a tie. i went with that for awhile.
one day i just said FUCK IT. and got rid of the belt again :lol:

im always looking for places in the nyc area to get slacks with no pleats. its hard especially for someone with my physique.

does anyone know anywhere i can get some slacks in the NYC area? i also dont like the cuffs at the bottom of my slacks. that shit is dead to me. i like all my clothes as concise as possible. meaning fitting just right as if it was tailored. i hate when i see people with the bottom of their slacks dragging off their shoes. that is horrible. :confused:

again, lets talk shop. i know there are alot of spots nyc area that wont hit the wallet hard. someone holla (ummm...boro? :lol:)

Speak for yourself my friend. I dont think all of us were made to wear flat front pants. I'm a little too wide in the hip/waist area to even attempt some shit like that.... :smh:

I dont know your actual body type but All pleats do in reality is add MORE fabric and extra bulk to your already larger midsection so it actually would increase your midsection bulk.

Pleats are sometimes thought to hide a Spare tire but in my opinion it just draws more attention to that area.

As for it being Roomier thats true! But its created a breading ground for random Lumps/bumps and in my experience just makes people look like the Michelin man.

I dont know if you want to look slimmer but pleated pants GIVE that look to you.

I know its hard to change your ways so if you do decide to keep wearing pleated pants NEVER put anything in their pockets makes it look more bulky and add more random hip bulges.

The ONLY time I could give props to pleats is if you were wearing a Brooks Brothers old school look that you dont want to attempt to pull off everyday to work. Its one of those once every 2 months looks feel me?

Damn homie...... y i gotta be the Michelin man? :lol::lol:
 
Re: GQing yourself

Oh I mean no disrespect fam, hell do you. If you havent tried Flatfront pants recently, ones that fit you Id give them a shot. People come in all sizes and Im against the whole "hiding" your shape that was prevelant in the late 80s-90's.

:lol: He's right though--a lot of brothers make the mistake of trying to "hide" in their clothes. That shit only makes you look bigger or sloppy. Get you some flat-front slacks.



P.S.--I know you're still holding on to those big-assed double-breasted suits--throw them shits out too. :lol: :hmm:

The only DB suit i had was back when i was wearing a 46L, now that im up near the 50L range, i had to give it up. I can't really see a big dude pullin off that kinda look anyway.
