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

[QUOTE=waylander;52776309]is this a ok combo, none of my darker pants fit any more and the jacket that goes with the pants shown is a slightly darker shade than the replacements. i dont want to buy another pair of pants for one occasion, i think a navy jacket would be better but i dont have one [t]https://i.imgur.com/9QdH5YH.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] u gotta put it on

[t]https://i.imgur.com/QYJJs74.jpg[/t] the camera on my phone is shit

so how do I build muscular mass while keeping a nice plump gut

sorry only slp bodies acceptable

[QUOTE=NitronikALT;52776989]so how do I build muscular mass while keeping a nice plump gut[/QUOTE] become a strongman or powerlifter (then die at 40)

[QUOTE=waylander;52776972][t]https://i.imgur.com/QYJJs74.jpg[/t] the camera on my phone is shit[/QUOTE] I think that looks OK, but not a fan of black shoes with khakis, and make sure you have a belt that some what matches.

[QUOTE=SuperDuprKyle;52776701][url]http://m2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.0495734001.html[/url][/QUOTE] man I feel silly, first batch must have sold out quickly and just recently the second came up - but thank you for keeping an eye out for me! I've ordered it and it should arrive soon.

[QUOTE=waylander;52776972][t]https://i.imgur.com/QYJJs74.jpg[/t] the camera on my phone is shit[/QUOTE] yh its ok, but if you had black pants it would look better imo as it goes with your shoes and your shirt.

[QUOTE=waylander;52776972][t]https://i.imgur.com/QYJJs74.jpg[/t] the camera on my phone is shit[/QUOTE] I don't understand what's going on here.. Your pants are wrinkled, your fly is down, your shirt isn't buttoned, your collar looks like a strip of bacon. Maybe unbutton that second button. Definitively get a belt. If you're going to blouse your shirt you should get pants with a better fit. Nothing wrong with a little gut, but if your pants pinch your waist like that you only accentuate it.

[QUOTE=The_J_Hat;52723196]Aren't there only about six H&M stores in the entire US? I know there's only about three Uniqlo stores.[/QUOTE] Don't buy from H&M please you are almost directly fucking up workers, suppliers, producers and the environment when you buy from H&M

[QUOTE=Killuah;52787846]Don't buy from H&M please you are almost directly fucking up workers, suppliers, producers and the environment when you buy from H&M[/QUOTE] Isn't that the case with all (most) high street fashion?

[t]https://i.imgur.com/0ddDHil.jpg[/t] I'm in the process of fixing up, as it's a prerequisite of looking sharp. Currently ~7 stone/105lbs lost.

[QUOTE=Killuah;52787846]Don't buy from H&M please you are almost directly fucking up workers, suppliers, producers and the environment when you buy from H&M[/QUOTE] Can you explain? Genuinely curious as I had no idea.

[QUOTE=Killuah;52787846]Don't buy from H&M please you are almost directly fucking up workers, suppliers, producers and the environment when you buy from H&M[/QUOTE] If you can find an alternate store that has exact copies of the rad stuff H&M sells.

Don't know if you're looking for advice but calorie tracking with a deficit on MyFitnessPal is what worked for me. Just have to have the willpower of sticking to your daily calorie goal and it'll come off steadily.

On top of that H&M is known to erode workers rights and to strongarm suppliers into really shitty practices.

They've also been known to steal designs

[QUOTE=Lone Wolf807;52793233]They've also been known to steal designs[/QUOTE] Well, let's not kid ourselves. A [I]lot[/I] of fashion companies have been known to steal off of another company's design at some point, even designer companies. That being said, H&M is really not a good company to follow. Easily the best way to get cheap yet great clothes is thrifting/second-hand.

all fast fashion is stealing designs lmao [editline]19th October 2017[/editline] i basically only thrift or go to uniqlo tbh because I think H&M for what it is is overpriced when you can get psuedo bootleg stuff of the same shit quality from korea for less

oh there's not a single uniqlo in my state I just got some clothes there when I was in japan then started ordering them online since, I got one of everything but their pants so I know exactly what size to order

[QUOTE=Killuah;52787846]Don't buy from H&M please you are almost directly fucking up workers, suppliers, producers and the environment when you buy from H&M[/QUOTE] This applies to pretty much anything you use or consume, like the African workers who collect Cocoa beans for a dollar a day to produce your chocolate, or the people assembling your smartphone under conditions of slavery in China. Thinking that avoiding brands like H&M really makes you more moral is lying to yourself

Anyone got some experience with Common Project sneakers? I'm thinking about "investing" in a pair of achilles. That or some white acne studios adrians

Considering ditching my Docs for a pair of Red Wings, can't pick which model I prefer though. Moc Toes or Iron Rangers? Leaning towards the Moc Toes but open to opinion.

[QUOTE=Luxuria;52829790]Considering ditching my Docs for a pair of Red Wings, can't pick which model I prefer though. Moc Toes or Iron Rangers? Leaning towards the Moc Toes but open to opinion.[/QUOTE] Moc toes all the way imo, my 1907's have never failed me. I mostly prefer the toe shape, iron rangers are a bit too pointy for my taste normally, I'd probably rock them in a more formal setting -- but that's not nearly common enough for me to warrant buying a pair

Looks like I'll get on it then, thanks boys.

Was thinking of getting a black puffer jacket, wearing a pullover hoodie underneath and some all black Nike roshe ones, sound good to u guys?

[QUOTE=IAreLegend;52862887]Was thinking of getting a black puffer jacket, wearing a pullover hoodie underneath and some all black Nike roshe ones, sound good to u guys?[/QUOTE] Yes. I think its a good look if your pants/joggers are somewhat tapered. I'm eagerly awaiting the arrival of these odd looking high tops [t]https://res.cloudinary.com/context/image/upload/c_scale,fl_progressive,w_1600/v1475271342/tx52bppra21r6izczefg.jpg[/t] [t]https://res.cloudinary.com/context/image/upload/c_scale,fl_progressive,w_1600/v1475271337/wnrv1arkkfe8kmgip44i.jpg[/t] I think this thread would be a little more active if it weren't for that bad non-descriptive title, it doesn't even have the word clothes, or fashion in the title.
