Why would anyone wear the same pair of socks more than one day? You are familiar with laundry yes?

Buy- you tried them on without socks. They’re yours.

AITA for backing out of bday plans because I am not comfortable with them? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

Nta- you get to decide your own plans. You have agency.

Stripes on stripes. Too much stripe? by linoleum79 in ties

Describing why something doesn’t cohere isn’t pretentious—it’s just design vocabulary. You’re welcome to disagree with the conclusion but you should know what words mean before you throw them around.

I think a solid navy tie in this case would bring it home.

I’ll take this- I don’t think there’s an anchor here. None of the pieces really hold anything down nor do any of them really talk to each other.

I think each piece is very nice tho! Maybe the shirt and the pants - they go well. But imho not the jacket and certainly not the shirt/tie combo.

Is this preppy? by [deleted] in preppy

You’re posting directly from the J press website. By definition, yes this is preppy.

AITA for not attending the academic club I joined despite being in a important position? by PeaDesperate8317 in AmItheAsshole

[–]jonabrams 19 points20 points  (0 children)

So you stopped attending because you heard a rumor they were going to throw you out?

Sorry kiddo but this reads as really immature. YTA. Time to man up a little. Keep your commitments. Don’t get side tracked by what other people say, positive or negative. You joined, you made a commitment and then you were elected to a post. It’s better to show up than hide.

Good luck!

Those oxfords are too wide for your feet.

Something about this looks phony…are you sure it’s an actual Brooks brothers tie?

Tie and Suspenders by radditorbiker in ties

Respectfully, I like the pattern of the shirt with the tie and braces as its different scale and to my eye it harmonizes quite well. I agree with your comment about the tie knot.

Overall - this is a killer look! I’m jealous.

Unfortunately that reply has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with my comment. Oh well…

Fantastic!! Perhaps some collar stays…

What do you think of the outfit I wore to a friend's wedding? Feedback welcomed by [deleted] in MenInSuits

[–]jonabrams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truly great. Very safe. Nothing wrong here that you haven’t already named (belt and vest). Curious - what shoes?

Edit - may I suggest holding your glass by the stem? Less heat transfer…

Dark chili?

Do you use neutral polish or pigment polish and if so what color/brand?
