Fix Up! Look Sharp v11: "there's like 8 of us here"

[Major Helper]

I'm just a boring guy that never joined or joins the student activities. Since I wanted them for the May Day to feel more like a university student (and to go with my high school graduation cap), I got the overalls free by getting our student/academy group a sponsor.

Here's the "whole" package, photo from last year:

this pose, keep this for all other clothes, black peacoat with your tighter jeans would look legit

[Major Helper]

Alrighty then.

Here're a few questions:
1) When posing, should my hand be in my coat pocket or the pant pocket? (assuming I choose to pocket a hand or two)
2) Only shirts with an even hem should be worn untucked, no exceptions? ('cause I definitely do this with more or less wavy shirts too often and sometimes I feel good about it and sometimes not)
3) Where's the limit between even and non-even hem? (some of my shirts have even hems with a shortish upwards cut on the sides, some have a more or less wavelike hem, some are super obviously not meant to be worn loose some are just obviously straight)
4) Can/should a fat man like me ever tuck in my shirt excluding formal attire, assuming the pants+tucked in shirt is the topmost layer after shedding outside wear? Considering that I'm the loose flab variant rather than the tight barrel stomach fat variant.
5) Are slightly (sliightly, not like popping off buttons tight) too tight shirts better than obviously too loose ones? What about on shirts that have no buttons?
6) What about wearing shirts unbuttoned that otherwise fit well (arm and body length plus chest width) but can't be sensibly buttoned due to stomach?

Except you probably should wear a matching belt with dress shoes.

Hey if you have a compelling argument on why you are wearing a black belt with brown shoes then rock that shit. Sometimes dissonance breeds beauty. :v:

But for real though there are general guidelines you should probably follow until you build up your fashion confidence enough to throw it all away and just start wearing pink cargo shorts or whatever.

i'm pretty sure i've got it down but is there a compiled list of general stuff you should / shouldn't do just so i know

i mean some of it is counterintuitive at first glace so i'm just wondering

I guess the most basic guideline you can follow is color theory. Just read up on the topic, there are tons of ways colors can compliment each other. Once you get that down, then you can pretty much wear whatever you want and as long as the colors are working together then you will look good. Also if you deliberately wear contrasting colors it might work too, but it's a bit harder to pull off. Everything else is really just extra/current fashion trends.

Also keep in mind your skin tone, hair color, and to a lesser extent, your eye color as those are all colors you are "wearing" on your body as well, so you want those to match your clothing somewhat.

Here's an example of what I look like with the shirt tucked in (slightly too large shirt):

[IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/85244099/Public Photos/IMG_20161011_002227.jpg[/IMG]

Standing up it's not untolerable but I feel that when I'm sitting down I ought to have something looser around me to maybe slightly cover up the stomach. Even at my lightest (90 kg) this was definitely a problem, not to mention now (108 kg) or back when I was at my heaviest in 2010 (123 kg).

Tucking in shirts is totally fine, I do it with pretty much any style. You are already posing better so that is great!! You look totally presentable, no real negatives with the look IMO. Honestly, there is no real way to hide stomach fat, so if you feel most comfortable tucking in your shirt then just tuck in your shirt.

So I've been starting to grow my hair back out after two years of wearing short hair.

Maybe I'll bring back the glorious long mane I had in High School, but baby steps. What's a good medium length haircut for a guy with a portuguese face? Portuguese being I kind of look Jewish when I wear glasses and look Arabian when I have a beard and look like a jewish arab when I have both. I'm not sure how my brothers and sisters from the motherland may describe it but that is how I look.(Or so I've been told)

Reflecting on past styles I wore my hair I've only ever been able to go really long or really short and struggle to find a middle ground. Was thinking of maybe doing a side part after I grow it out a bit or experimenting.

Hello boys, it's been a long time. Recently started a new wardrobe, donated 80% of my old clothes to charity and started shopping around more.

I got a pair of Yeezy 350s for free which is great. My friends boyfriend cheated on her and she said feel free to take any of his stuff he left at her house. They're a 7.5 and I'm an 8 so they're not particularly comfortable, but I've been wearing them constantly. Also got a pair of Palladium Mono. Not really a big fan but they only cost like £40 and they're more versatile than Converse. You can wear them unrolled and they're like skin head boots :)

Not sure how you got this from that photo, but they pass everything from this [url=http://solecollector.com/news/adidas-yeezy-350-boost-legit-check-real-fake]website[/url] and the boy who previously had these is big on high end street wear. Most his clothes cost more than my car, but I'm already in the process of swapping these for some less flex clothes.

Give me good brands (None of the following: [I]Palace, Supreme, Gosha, Bape[/I]) for grown up men think Acne as such

[The_J_Hat]

Banana Republic

[Slendermang]

Are you looking for higher end stuff or nah? Kind of vague, I can think of: Uniqlo, Nordstrom, Norse Projects
