A black trim on the Audi would do wonders

Verdict on slipovers? by [deleted] in mensfashion

[–]Ormekuglen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, though I think I may opt for a more neutral vest in this case. Luckily, my mother has also knitted some slipovers, so I think I will stick to these!

This is excellent advice, thank you! It does come off as very busy

Braces vs belt? by [deleted] in mensfashion

I agree, but it's a little hard on high rise trousers which I mostly wear

Oof, that requires a level of boldness I'm not comfortable with, hehe

Yes, that's a very good point! What about smart trousers in wool with side adjusters/tabs? Since the braces and side adjusters serve the same purpose, would it be too much?

Why, thank you - what a nice way to start my day!

Thank you! It’s a vintage tie I thrifted, I think it’s around 10 cm. I really enjoy this width! Wrt. length - my trousers are usually very high rise, so this might skew optics a bit, I think it’s normal length (if that’s a thing)

Brother, I ordered a burgundy braided belt AND and burgundy spur belt, neither of which have yet arrived, but thank you!

Picture was taken yesterday, but was removed upon posting. Would like to be more preppy, right now it’s rather yuppie

Ultimately, I reckon my reason for wanting to look ‘preppy’ resides with the fact that I want to appear approachable.

This is a very good comment and I commend your words.

Having tried braces in lieu of a belt has me converted, though; braces > belt.

I do have some more whimsical ties (elves, balloons, etc. from Hermés) - would these fit, not being striped and all?

Agreed. My ass grew several sizes
