@aneed123 Agreed... you were taught well. Once you've finished school or have entered the workforce, you should have at least 1 navy and 1 grey suit. They should be of reasonable quality [spend decent money on it (cop a $500 suit on sale for $250) and get it tailored well (abt $80-100)] and you'll do well. With regard to a good watch, you don't need to spend a rack on one.. and please no diamond studded BS... get a nice piece Fossil, Timex, Lacoste all make a classic, professional watches that look professional. If you wanna step the game up, got with the Brietling, Omega, Rolex, Tag, Patek, etc... I'm an Omega man I take them above all others! but that's just me.

My TA told me to buy a new suit each year I'm in college. That way when I graduate I already got a weekday wardrobe.

I keep mines in the box and put taps on them as well. And I keep a supply of shoe polishes and brushes. My pops never left the crib without shining his shoes. He was a mailman too, and he kept those shoes glistening. He has the electric shoe shiner now. I still do the old spit shine

LOL ROTC and 5 years Navy, so you know I know. Man I got a homie that owns his own cobbler shop, I do a lot of business with dude. Been going to him for 15 years, Reece only 43. Keeps the bottoms on point and I go to him because he a young black dude doing it. His pops passed the business on to him

I have never worn a shirt-sleeve button-up with a tie. That's for Geek Squad. Always wear a longsleeve with a tie, unless you have a cardigan/vest/coat. And a nice set of glasses never hurt either.

I can't take a man seriously if he wears a short sleeve shirt to the office - period.

I can't take folks seriously if I know they're wearing glasses when they really don't need them. Shit looks stupid to me.

I can't front, 98% of the time I simply let my barber take care of it and I been going to him since before I had facial hair so I just trust that nigga know what he been doing the past 10 years+ I've had facial hair lol

 

[FucktheIC]

haha. nah. I've just been super busy. I haven't posted much, and haven't had time for a nice drop.

But I'm writing one right now about pant length for men.

 

[FucktheIC]

Gentlmen, let's talk about the break in your pants. The break is the length of your pants.

If you're just getting your first suit, go with a medium break. When having it tailored ask for a medium break, and ask your tailor to leave a little fabric in the cuff or hem in case you want to let it out(don't know why you would want to). The medium break falls somewhere between where your laces start and the top of your shoe. This is pretty much the standard. You can't go wrong with this one.

I won't give any shine to the full break, because I think it looks sloppy and makes otherwise well fitting pants look big and not put together.

These pants for example. The pants fit, but the break makes it seem large. Some guys are okay with it, but I don't like it. I shouldn't have any creases on the front of my pants.

Since I'm a stylish nigga, and I love when my socks get a little shine, I typically go for a short break. This break lets the bitches know, "This ain't just off the rack ma, I put some time into getting measured and tailored here.) No creases, no bends in the fabric, no drag, it's all swag.

I love this break b/c when I sit my pants rise and show some sock(I always wear colorful socks). I also put a lot of effort into keeping my shoes shined, so I always enjoy showing those off too. Now, this is a personal choice. Some men look weird in a short break simply b/c they probably aren't comfortable with it. I love mine. I always get compliments on my socks. Especially when my legs are cross. Let's these hoes know I'm a man about my bidnizz.
