The tie and boots are actually a good deal more understated than you might expect from the photograph: I had to adjust for inadequate lighting, unfortunately. Although I will admit something of a penchant for... vibrant hues.

As a general rule, tie always darker than the shirt, but fair enough for doing things your own way. Like the boots.

(As above.)



You're quite welcome. But riddle me this: why would I want to attract someone who arbitrarily dislikes shirts, ties and jackets? Or for that matter; the colours purple, red and brown?

Sorry, I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic. If not, to be clear: it's the colours/fabrics I have a problem with. No problems with shirts, ties and jackets. But now that we're on the subject, I definitely prefer ties with suits, not otherwise. I say if the occasional doesn't require a suit, it doesn't require a tie.

I just think that shirt isn't the kind of shirt that goes well with a tie. Without the tie it would look good, or with a plain shirt it would look ok as well.

Agree with you here, the boots look fantastic in the photo but not great in the link.

Here's a sample from my original snapshot, for reference:

A tie with the print of the shirt would be better (y)

The Sartorialist has a lot of good looks for men. If in doubt, follow Italian men.

The Sartorialist is really famous, but he's not really original at the moment. You just need to be where he will be on the street in NYC/Paris/Milano/... and if you have a great look you'll be on the blog or if you're a friend of his.

Being ginger, I find it sets off my (already rather outlandish) complexion. But you're right: I wouldn't necessarily recommend anyone else to follow suit. Unless they happened to be Jonathan Ross.

Well, either way I'd probably have to insist on at least one patterned garment.

I swear to jesus I am getting sick of this weather, I don't know from day to day if I should dress warmly or lightly. Although being in the midst of the flu and exams mean I've mostly been wearing pyjamas and blanket, moving to jeans and hoodies when I do actually leave the flat for exams or snacks.

I am going to be wearing so much linen when it gets hot though. Makes me glad I have a clothes steamer

I'm looking for a pair of loafer type shoes. Brown, don't mind whether leather or suede. Can anyone post any good examples?

[Tom_Sg]

Loafer type shoes.

New Our Legacy drops are looking good http://www.ourlegacy.se/
One of my favourite brands, would recommend it for anyone trying to move away from the overdone topman/river island/high street styles. Not cheap but definitely worth the dollar.

Problem is, some of their plain tees are around 100 quid, which is rip off pricing really and difficult to justify spending so much on.

Which ones? The perfect tee's which are around £60 usually go to sale. The shirts are OL's forte and definitely worth the price tag. Do you have any of their items? hard to say if something is a rip off if you can't comment on the quality.

Well quality can only get SO good, anything after that and the price is hypothetically a rip off. £100 for a plain tee is steep, even by my standards.

I have got no shirts I like so I want to buy loads of T-Shirts for the Summer (if there even is one). I have been looking around and I have struggled to find just 1 I like - let alone 5 or 6!!!

I am looking for some graphic/printed tee's but I don't want the massive over the top drawing of florida, new york etc (they seem to be popular at the moment in topman etc). I am just looking for a shirt with something small printed on it and the majority of the shirt is white (i don't mind the background being a different colour). Anyone got any links?

There was a pair of bog standard trackie b's there for over £100. lol. They probably bought them from primark for a fiver and put a 20000% markup on them for idiots.

Some people do really have more money than sense.
