Welcome to the 9th edition of Facepunch's resident style advice thread
We use this thread to compare looks, styles, and fashions, and to put those who don't know in the right on what to wear
[U][B]Here are some basic posting guidelines[/B]
[/U]
[U]Make sure your criticism is constructive:[/U] If you don't like how someone dresses, [I]tell them why. [/I]Don't just say it looks like shit.
[U]
Respect others' outfits:[/U] While you can post constructive criticism, please try and stay civil about it. Obviously there will be some "comedy" posts in here, but for those who are actually trying, just keep your cool.
And, linking into the last one.. [U]Stay civil:[/U] Just try not to be [I]too[/I] scathing in your criticism, and if you feel the need to make an angry post, it's best to wait a few minutes and see if you still feel that way.
[U]

Style guide basics
[/U]Rule 1: Always make sure your clothes fit well. Nothing can ruin a good outfit more than badly fit clothes.
Rule 2: Less loud, more subtle. Try to avoid loud colors or garish designs unless you're damn sure about what you're doing.
Rule 3: NO RUNNING SHOES
Rule 4: NO FEDORAS
Rule 5: 9 times out of 10, black mannequin = stay the fuck away
[U]
Hygiene advice
[/U]While I'm pretty sure you know how to bathe yourself, there are some additional guidelines.
1: Unless you're damn sure about what you're doing, try to stay clean shaven.
2: You will always look better with short hair. Cut off that lion's mane and let your inner gentleman ~shine~ (and no, your forehead/eyebrows/ears aren't too big)
3: Acne, while more or less unavoidable, is an eyesore. If you see that shit starting up, you'd best do something about it.
4: Find a good cologne, and stick with it. Everyone will like you more if you smell better.
[U][B]Here's some good stores[/B][/U]

are you willing to lay your life on the line in pursuit of style enlightenment
20jeans has been pretty good to me. Low prices, decent range of styles. ( 20jeans.com )
Also I promise I will post my new and improved tie rack soon!
Lots of styles and colors and brands.
[QUOTE=sp00ks;39736941]you forgot [url]http://www.flatspot.com/[/url][/QUOTE]
I tend to avoid flatspot, the other sites I use sell the same stuff but for less. Flatspot always seems to be more expensive and always charge for shipping.

People here are always so quick to rank on fashion shows like this, but I understand the point of the "fashion" to be more of an artistic piece and a statement from the designer than wearable clothing.
