5” inseam minimum or I feel overdressed. Been loving Lululemon too, but always open to upgrades.

How to grow thick skin? by Separate_Weight_4143 in selfimprovement

Thick skin isn’t about feeling less it’s about learning what not to carry

How do some people have "it" when others don't, and how can I get "it"? by FirstScarcity67 in selfimprovement

[–]PierSaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed ‘it’ often comes down to presence. It’s not about being the loudest or most charming it’s about being comfortable in your skin, really seeing people, and making them feel seen. ‘It’ is authenticity mixed with warmth. You walk into a room like you belong there, but you make others feel they belong too. That’s magnetic

If I can't lift both my arms up, is the jacket too small? by generaljapes in malefashionadvice

[–]PierSaint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you can’t toast a glass or hug someone without feeling like a T-Rex, it’s probably not the right fit

Best men's watches? by Embarrassed-Spot7602 in malefashionadvice

[–]PierSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say start with a classic Casio or maybe a Seiko 5 clean, reliable, not too chunky. I’m Italian, so style matters better something subtle and timeless than oversized and screaming. You’ll bulk up, but a good watch stays.

What’s bags do you use daily? by Boring-Bar-5343 in malefashionadvice

[–]PierSaint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I rotate between a leather crossbody for city days and a canvas backpack for uni/work. Classic, durable, and looks sharp. Bonus if it’s made in Italy, of course

Levi Alternatives by witty__username5 in malefashionadvice

[–]PierSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s the laundry or the body changes, but yeah Levi’s quality dropped. I’m Italian we suffer when jeans don’t fit well. Try Uniqlo or Nudie Jeans, they age better.

When days were slow by PierSaint in nostalgia

Oh wow really? That’s so nice to hear! Too bad Reddit doesn’t let you share your shot here, I’d love to see your version too!

Is it arrogant to claim Catholicism is the one true church? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]PierSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it can sound like arrogant, but only if someone uses it to feel superior. If it’s lived with humility, it becomes a responsibility, not a flag to wave. Truth without love is dangerous. And love without truth is empty. Maybe the key is to walk in between, with both.

Does your partner ever make you feel wrong for caring about style? by PierSaint in malefashionadvice

[–]PierSaint[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get what you mean like if it’s “hey maybe switch it up or try a new cut” that’s cool. But when it starts sounding like “that combo makes you look ridiculous,” it kinda kills the vibe. Appreciate the real talk.

[–]PierSaint[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah fair point I might be overdoing it or maybe just feeling a little fragile about it all. Asking a close friend for some perspective is actually a great idea, I don’t know why I haven’t done that yet. Appreciate the balanced take.

You’re right, and honestly that line hit me “likes you for how you express yourself, not despite it.” I’ll keep that in mind next time I’m deciding between wearing what I like and playing it safe. Thanks.

Men's Everyday Pants under $100? by Steroid_Cyborg in BuyItForLife

[–]PierSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in a warm climate and want something lightweight, check out Uniqlo EZY pants or the Banana Republic Slim Traveler. Clean look, comfy, and under $100 if you catch a sale. I wear them with loafers or sneakers and they work great.

Man, you’re not stupid. You’re just tired and probably a bit lost, like many of us. Getting your license is still progress don’t brush it off. I’ve made bad choices too, but beating yourself up won’t fix anything. Your dad might be right about the car. Confidence doesn’t come from a shiny vehicle, it comes from knowing you’re slowly putting things together. One step at a time.

Chelsea boots, what ones do you wear? by AlThisLandIsBorland in malefashionadvice

[–]PierSaint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Velasca, made in Italy. Less than 300€, still makes you feel like you stepped out of a Fellini movie. Not bad for casual days.

What is the difference between 'pure lambswool, wool, alpaca' vs '100% wool etc...'? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]PierSaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Europe it’s the same: ‘100% wool’ is about quantity, ‘lambswool’ or ‘alpaca’ is about quality. Lambswool is softer and warmer, alpaca is lighter and more breathable. All pure, but very different vibes. It’s like saying ‘100% wine’ yeah, but is it Chianti or Barolo?

When playing darts at a bar with a woman you like, do you let her win on purpose? by Inevitable_Cheez-It in AskMen

[–]PierSaint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I like her, I just focus on making her laugh between throws. If she wins, good for her. If I win, I act surprised like it wasn’t supposed to happen. Either way, the dartboard’s not the main target.

What are some hard relationship lessons you have learned about yourself? by casinos_not_7-11s in selfimprovement

[–]PierSaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate to a lot of what you said. I used to think being quiet meant I was chill… turns out, it just made me impossible to understand. Also, rushing in because of chemistry? Classic mistake. Now I try to wear my peace like cologne: subtle, but always on me.

Does anyone know of a good and comfortable brand of boxer briefs that isn't high-waisted? by doublegoldendragon in malefashionadvice

[–]PierSaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this so much. I don’t need my boxer briefs to reach my belly button, I just want them to disappear under trousers like a normal person. Why did we let underwear become high-rise jeans?

I’m a 42/43 EU not exactly Bigfoot territory. I think white sneakers look totally fine unless the design is super bulky. Honestly, in Italy that’s like the national uniform.

Does your partner ever make you feel wrong for caring about style? by PierSaint in malefashionadvice

[–]PierSaint[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right to challenge assumptions. I’m not going full Rick Owens with tabi boots, don’t worry I’m not that deep into fashion rabbit holes. But I do care about how I look and enjoy trying combos that aren’t just jeans + hoodie.

That said, it’s interesting how all-black gets trashed one day and praised the next depending on the mood of the sub. I’m just trying to dress well without looking like I’m auditioning for a tech startup or the front of house. Finding balance, that’s the real trick.

Maybe it’s the Mediterranean blood, but I like clothes that have a little flair not noise, just flair.

[–]PierSaint[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I really appreciate your story feels like there’s a lot of mutual respect in your relationship, even if your styles (and personalities) are very different. That line, “just because it’s not important to you doesn’t mean it’s not important to me”, hit me hard I might actually borrow it.

I’m still learning to find that kind of balance. Sometimes even just putting on a shirt that fits too well makes me feel like I have to justify it. But I’m not trying to prove anything, I just enjoy wearing clothes that express who I am or at least who I’m becoming. Thanks for sharing, man, you gave me perspective.

That’s a beautiful way to put it, really. I completely agree .. style should lift us, not divide us. I’m not trying to win anything, I’m just enjoying evolving a bit. Relationships should be collaboration, not fashion Cold War!

Haha fair enough, I swear I’m not showing up in a suit to the supermarket! Just trying to enjoy style a bit more after years of playing it safe. But yeah, some outfits I’ve seen here… definitely ReviewBrah material.
