Essential The Coli's GQ Thread: Men's Fashion

What are your thoughts on designer belts?

My wife will occasionally pick up a wallet or belt for me and I sometimes find it difficult to fit the belts in with much of my wardrobe. My style is more subdued and refined (for the most part) and the buckles stand out and feel like they don't mesh. The belts are dope so I'm not trying to get rid of them, just asking ideas.

I'm in your camp, style should be subdued and refined, not showy and gaudy.

But women tend to be attention seeking.

Once in my life, I want to his this up

 

[CrushedGroove]

I was looking into Pitti Uomo and was trying to figure out an all inclusive trip around this time for us to enjoy ourselves and for me to check this out.

Nothing shaking this year so I'm gonna shoot for next year.

It's weird how you never get around to shopping at certain stores.
My whole life I've never once bought anything at J Crew.

Not like it's an amazing store. I'm sure they're solid. I just haven't shopped there.

I mean I'm a bit limited because I'm 6'4, so often I have to pass on certain brands for clothes or shoes.
Like, I don't even bother looking at Uniqlo. That japanese sizing...I already know the deal. Plus I think their whole steez is basic shyt like T-shirts. I could be wrong but in my mind Uniqlo is just Asian version of clothes you find at Target. I feel like their clothes would be the same.

Yeah J crew make nice stuff. But their sizing is limited for larger or taller men.

Why these dudes always lying?

Why these dudes always lying?

Why can’t people just give style advice without acting like “this is how you get girls”??

Yeah if you dress well people will notice.
But there are no rules like “these clothes get you bytches”

The same way men wear cologne…and even if you smell good nobody is ever gonna say shyt.

I'm just now seeing this, and Bonobos has it on sale at $99.
But the Olive is sold out in my size.

There's an app-exclusive 20% off sale with mainline Banana Republic right now.
I think anything marked "web exclusive" winds up being around 50% off, but the price only shows in your cart.

I would imagine they might run a more standard 30% off sale starting tomorrow for the Labor Day Weekend, but I guess we will see.

Wound up getting a cashmere sweater for like $80, and some chinos for $30.
Maybe one day I'll spring for some Inis Meain sweater but I aint blowing that kind of money.

 

[Heafcliffe]

So I've been eyeing this inky blue suede bomber from Bonobos. Fits like a dream but the hefty price is.

Give me some outfit ideas or other more cost-effective options.Thx.
