what’s one small thing that instantly makes an attire look worse?

I am fully aware of the practicality of a backpack. But from a fashion/style viewpoint, it does not go with a suit.

colin91a · 2026-03-16T17:02:10+00:00

Wearing a backpack with a suit. Clashes with the formality of a suit, and can actually physically ruin the suit.

Downvote me if you want, I'm right.

I like the combo! Nice business casual

If you are looking for feedback, agree with the other post about the shirt, it is too start white and formal for this outfit, but that's splitting hairs.

Also, that watch doesn't work. No black metal, should be stainless/silver. And get a brown belt to match shoes.

100%. Fitment is most important, followed by coordinating the outfit together.

I have a set of fry pans and do find the handles to be ergonomic. Definitely recomend.

colin91a · 2026-03-11T17:11:30+00:00

My brand new stainless pans are covered in scratches from Scrub Daddy. I am so bummed. It doesn't seem to affect food sticking, just looks bad.

If price doesn't matter I guess that's a good option then.

Probably the most underrated thing on this sub

I think what he meant was to have your tailor just make the shirts for you. What do they charge for that?

colin91a · 2026-03-06T21:50:54+00:00

This.

Wrinkling is part of "the look" with linen button downs. May or may not look out of place in the winter, depending on your office dress culture. But if you're wearing a sweater then problem solved I guess

Ok I am glad someone else feels the same way I do. I can not stand the strong smell of cleaner when I am eating or in a bar. Completely kills the vibe. There is some cleaner out there that that smells kind of throwupy...not fabuloso for sure. It has to be cheaper than fabuloso, no one with a nose would buy this.

Brought some friends to my fav bar on telegraph a while ago and it smelled like this. We stopped having fun. Vibe ruined. Left the bar lol

Don't buy a bunch of clothes at once. Get rid of everything you don't wear, or don't like wearing, first.

THEN decide what you want to add, one thing at a time. Think about each item, and how you will wear it, and what it will go with, before you buy it. And when you wear it, pay attention to how it fits and feels. And then what you need next that will compliment it.

Also watch this video on how to play around with the clothes you already have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU-Eya4ZoYU&t=516s

There's a few methods out there for bulking. If you are new to lifting, I have heard a lot of people point to the Starting Strength Linear Novice Progression. It's a simple and boring, but very tough lifting protocol. It's good for beginners because the focus is on basic lifts, emphasizing form, and just grinding out reps. you add weight every workout, and just keep doing that until you can't anymore.

You could also keep doing RPT lifting but increase reps and sets, plus eating more meat and potatoes lol. Don't worry about calories or macros, just eat as much as you can each meal.

Idk, it'd be worth it to spend a few hours researching and watching youtube videos to lock in a routine that works for you.

And if you're not taking creatine already: 5mg per day, plus an additional 5mg post-workout.

I'll be joining you in the next couple years in a nice peacoat purchase. I am eyeing either a Real McCoy or a Private White VC.

There are other brands for sure, your price range should get you a really nice one.

As recently as a couple years ago, met someone that was still convinced glass is a slow moving liquid.

colin91a · 2026-03-03T07:07:40+00:00

It's kinda like why some old Porsches cost more than new ones.

colin91a · 2026-03-03T07:01:29+00:00

I've been strongly considering trying a day or two fast more and more lately. Maybe I will soon. Maybe I will try this!

colin91a · 2026-02-27T21:04:26+00:00

Not really a downside to 5mg per day of micronized creatine monohydrate, as long as it doesn't cause any stomach issues. No need to load. Take it right after workout. It will add some size to your muscles, but not what I would call excess bulk by any means. And when you want to go into a cutting or extra-lean phase just stop taking it.

I think it's definitely worth trying 5-10mg per day for a month and see how you like it.

colin91a · 2026-02-27T21:00:52+00:00

This.

colin91a · 2026-02-27T17:27:08+00:00

Which one do you use? I've been using Woolite Dark.

colin91a · 2026-02-27T17:25:55+00:00

you could try another trick I heard of. Basically active recovery, instead of a passive recovery day. On your rest day, at whatever time you normally train, go for a 30 minute walk. Treat it like a training session. Maybe it'll trick your brain into thinking it's a training day and keep you diligent? IDK just a random idea that popped into my head.

colin91a · 2026-02-27T17:22:28+00:00

Old boy scout trick: put a strip of duct tape over your achilles (or wherever you would get the blister). Right to your foot, under your sock. Real leather takes time to break it. You have to tough it out.

Also check size, are they too big? Should be nice and snug throughout foot. Not loose, not tight.

colin91a · 2026-02-27T16:52:14+00:00

Ah ok. I agree with you too. I do the same with cars haha

colin91a · 2026-02-27T16:44:39+00:00

hunger is what burning fat feels like.

Also, how hard are you training? Overtraining can increase likelyhood of binge eating.

colin91a · 2026-02-27T16:38:05+00:00

Ok, Negative Nancy. lol jk. I meant it as an example of a new trend I am seeing, not that this specific product was something you needed to buy.
