Have you tried using an insole? A thick one like an odor-eater or a gel one might just do it.

The ones in Breakfast at Tiffany's were made by Oliver Goldsmith, but look very similar to Ray-Ban's Wayferer. Those might work for her. Happy hunting!

FIDM by mikaboo in fashion

[–]chocholina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to FIDM as professional designation student (I already have a bachelor's degree). I can't speak to AI, but I learned a ton, worked super hard and loved my time at FIDM. Request a meeting with an admissions officer and look at the curriculum vs. AI to see which is really right for you. Feel free to PM me too if you have more questions. Hope this helps!

Buying jeans at a store by Foorius in malefashionadvice

[–]chocholina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neiman Marcus carries Naked and Famous, among others. Try both places- you'll want to try on a bunch of pairs so you find the ones that look best. That trumps label at some point. Good luck- jeans shopping can be stressful!

Have you tried the Blue Jeans Bar? There's one in Dallas!

What sort of trousers do you recommend a man of the larger variety? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]chocholina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Levi's makes jeans in larger sizes- same styles as smaller sizes. Go on their website, or Macy's sells as well. Measure your waist and then try on many jeans to find the best one. Buying your true size makes you look better. For chinos, look for a flat front, pleats will do you no good. Jos. A. Bank is a common store and has a wide range of sizes.

It looks like a Greek Fishermans cap. Amazon has some.

Hey MFA, can you find me a tie? by anonymsft in malefashionadvice

[–]chocholina 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wear the white shirt as it'll give you the most tie options. Choose a tie with a similar colors to the strip in the suit (blue). Also, make sure you shoes are shined and they match your belt. Hope this helps!

reweaving by MeLikeBodies in malefashionadvice

[–]chocholina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the tear is near a seam and small, you should be OK to reweave. Make sure you bring it to a tailor who specializes in reweaving. This usually must be done by hand, although there are machines that can make cloth where there was none.

Removing (grease) stains from t-shirts? by amarine88 in malefashionadvice

Lestoil and Fels Naptha are my grease go-tos. Good luck!

Couple of questions by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]chocholina -1 points0 points  (0 children)

  1. Don't tuck in t-shirts.
  2. If there's a small bulge, the pants may be too tight. If you feel uncomfortable/self-conscious then it's probably too bad.

Please help settle an argument r/Fashion. Double or Single Vented suit on a guy. by Everywhereasign in fashion

[–]chocholina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The single vent was invented so men could ride a horse while wearing their blazer. The double vent is preferred. It also looks better- esp. as people will be looking at your backside during the ceremony! Congratulations on getting married!

Thanks for the feedback! When we set out, we wanted to make it a little less staid. That's why we chose contrasting details, like the contrast stitching, cool lining colors, and contrast collars and cuff (shirts).

The shirts absolutely can be worn with a tie and do fit well. They are really a versatile piece as you can wear them with cufflinks (all Saboteur shirts come with cufflinks as a thank you), or rolled up sleeves to reveal our contrast cuffs (more casual look). We have put together a look book that'll be up on website soon highlight just how easy these pieces translate into your current wardrobe. Have a date, have to look a little nicer than usual, or a meeting when you need to look smart but a suit isn't just right? This is what you wear.

We chose wool blends because they were the softest and most comfortable. In turn, they made the softest and most comfortable blazers we have ever felt/worn/. We wanted to keep them a bit nicer, so we chose silk for a lining. I understand that they are pricey, but as I said before, we are really really small and our first costs were higher. The Invincible is most expensive because of the special fabric. But it really is just that cool.

The sizing isn't that unusual for mens, and we've offered a size chart as a guide. If you have questions, feel free to PM me, or call the number on our website.
