Men's Fashion

What's in fashion for a men's jacket nowadays? Any recommendations? I have hoodies, but I need something for cool weather that doesn't make me look like a broke college kid.

I mean, just wear slacks and a dress shirt rather than jeans/polo, you sacrifice no comfort (I wear this like every day of my life now), you look 100% more professional...

Ah perfect

Can't grow a beard - check

No socks - check

Beady eyes - check

Shirt patterned like my mother's pajamas - check

a thick blazer

That's a dope jacket Araysar.

Soft shell

I should add that I need a jacket that looks good on a fat guy. I know some styles look awful on me.

I'm always amazed at the reaction from my IT staff on the occasional day we can wear jeans, you'd think someone was handing out free blowjobs. There's really no difference in comfort to me between a well tailored pair of slacks/khakis and a pair of jeans.

And to the guy looking for boots, if you want to spend a little more the AE Higgins Mills are awesome. By far one of my favorite shoe purchases in a while.

A good rule of thumb is to never dress nicer than your boss. People are also going to judge you solely on how you dress and yes it will impact your career track.

My boss wears all black. Leather jacket. Huge leather boots. She's a metalhead. Ain't nobody toppin' her.

This is my dress code for the new job I start next week, except add in a tie. At least I think. It's about 50/50 as far as whether a tie is required or my source is just a douchey fuck. Will be saving my play money to get a pair of AEs asap though.

Make sure you get on their email list, they run sales all the time. You can also score some great deals off the clearance section on their website, new stuff goes into it pretty often. Lastly check out shoebank.com as well for factory seconds, a lot of times there's very little wrong with the shoe and you can get it for half off.

I have like 6-7 pairs of AEs that I've accumulated over the years and have never paid close to full price. If you take care of them they last forever, I have a pair of walnut Strands that I've had for probably 10 years at this point and they still look great.

As a rule of thumb I'll allow it.

At EMC my boss dressed in hawaiin t-shirts, hiking boots, and bubble vests. Needless to say I was better dressed than him by default.

I thought you said you wore jeans and a polo?
