Gentlemen.

For a long time I've been looking for a nice pair of shoes to wear with jeans when out at a nicer restaurant or a club. I absolutely hate brogues and boat shoes or anything of that nature, so I really struggle to find something that I think I'd feel comfortable wearing. I found these shoes on Asos though, and I seem quite drawn to them. Do you think they would do for what I need them for?

Nice, simple shoes. No ugly needless detailing, no silly square or pointed toes. They look quite comfortable too.

lol are you being sarcastic? I've received such bad feedback about them from other people, but I've genuinely fallen in love with them!

No I like em. I'd have to see them in person but they look great.

Blue piping and double stitch detail is needless, and in some minds, ugly.

Right so i bought some dark purple skinnys in the topman sale £15,

anyway i can wear them with a light/mid-blue oxford shirt and that shirt goes with the jeans (it looks white in the photo for some reason) , But im unsure what other colour tshirt/shirt would go with them

any ideas ?

They're more plum that purple from the looks of that

Stick to white/pale blue tops, perhaps pale yellow if you're feeling bold. add other colours through jackets, etc.

Unfortunately, this is the big problem with unusually coloured trousers. It severely limits what you can wear with them without looking silly, which is an unfortunate characteristic for a item that you should really be able to get quite a bit of wear out of.

That's the reason 95% of trousers are the main neutral colours: black, grey, white, beige, brown, navy and muted blue.

However, all is not lost: you just need to see these as your one bold item and combine with neutral colours. Normally the shirt or tie would be the accent item, but in this case its the trousers. No big deal.

White, Grey or Black (depending upon the weather) is the obvious option, and I can see either a navy or a dark green sweater working as a good complimentary pairing.

Probably avoid red/orange/brown/beige tops. Too many warm colours together looks a bit weird.

So I am 6 ft 5 and very skinny, looks like I haven't eaten in a few days and summer clothes really aren't good for me!
There is no material to hide behind and I generally feel exposed or something! Fashionable shorts this year are above knee length, and I can imagine them looking remotely good on stick like legs..

Skinny people how do you dress for summer?!

how much you weigh? go to the gym

Not a fan tbh, agree with Mess, distressed shoes just look like you don't know how to look after them.

I weigh just over 9 stone, and I've been advised by my gp to concentrate on gaining weight, not losing weight at the gym :P

Hit the gym as in, do weights, not cardio.

What do you guys think of desert boots? If you have some, what colour/style are they and what sort of clothes do you wear them with? Looking to get some.

Also, what are the best sort of things to buy from primark? Like taking advantage of the cheap price but still getting decent quality.

What do you lads think of slimmer fitting shorts? Apparently I need some new shorts but I don't know about this style. :confused:

At the moment I'm just sporting the baggy, 'three quarter' length type. Are slimmer denim jeans that cut off closer to/at the knee a good look, or a bit silly? I'm unsure, ta.

*I'm not talking about that 60 quid pair in particular, that's just an example, cheers.

They look really odd in my eyes! If I stare at it, then it looks like two seperate pictures... one of half a pair of jeans and then a pair of legs D:! They look okay I suppose? Not actually that sure!

I know what you mean mate, particularly the guy's right leg, it looks photoshopped in :tongue:

I'm just not sure about the style, wondered what people thought.

I personally like them, but I feel they'd look better if they were rolled up so they rest just above the knee. I've been DIY'ing some and created some from slim/skinny jeans that I no longer wear. Just cut to below wear you want them to stop and roll them up to hide the raw edge!
