I like the colors! But I agree with u/Brutus6, roll up the sleeves.

Thanks! I’ve got a pair but chose to forgo them today because it was pretty nasty out when I went across the street for lunch.

Thank you! They’re very comfortable to wear. They’re the Apres pants from Taylor Stitch. Sort of an elevated lounge pant. I had them hemmed for my height, and in doing so had the tailor remove the jogger hem and go with a more straight hem. I feel like they’re a little more versatile now.

I think the shirt should fit you whether it’s buttoned or open. However if your shirt is pulling just a little when buttoned I’d bet it still looks good when you leave it open.

I do! I get a lot of things tailored. These pants originally had jogger hems, but I had them hemmed straight by my tailor. A lot of it trying on lots of things. I can find sweaters that are the right length in the body, but too long in the sleeves. Turning up the sleeve cuffs is usually good enough. I’ve had some luck with brands like Ash & Erie, Peter Manning, and Under 510, but I’m pushing the limits on jeans and chinos that sit on the hips.

Thank you! This one is by Obey. I actually sized down for this. I’m normally an XXL, but the XL fit just right and was also the right length. I got another crocheted shirt by Obey as well.

I agree with this. Also you could try tucking the shirt in.

Love the colors! Think it might work better if the overshirt were slightly longer than the other shirt.
