I’d like to ask more experienced men for feedback on my style, as I want to develop in a classic direction. I enjoy being part of this community, even though I’m new here. I understand I might be the youngest here since I’m only 16, which is exactly why I’d like to ask—what can you say about my clothing, and most importantly, what do you think about how I can improve it? Thank you in advance!!

Harris Tweed Herringbone overcoat and a 1956 Champ Kasmir finish Fedora I had restored by Mclaughlin & Hayes in Milwaukee. A Champ fedora was on the same level as Stetson and Dobbs. Not in the same ballpark as a Borsalino but worn by most American business men of the era

Today’s outfit starts with a combination of a striped Brooks Brother tie with a Jos. A. Banks pocket square that compliments the tie as well as a new pair of socks that also compliments the tie and pocket square. From there I put on a lavender dress shirt under my pinstriped navy suit from.Jos. A. Banks. The hat is a narrow brim fedora from Goorin Bros. As for the shoes, they are a mismatched combination of cap toed oxfords, one from Allen Edmunds, the other from Johnston and Murphy. I am not sure how I managed other then both pairs were sitting on the shoe rack together and Robin was pushing me to get out the door.

Gentlemen it’s been entirely too long since I’ve been active on here. I’ve found my desire to look and dress sharp is tied into my self view. I had lost a good amount of weight and felt better about myself. But then let myself go do to lack of support at home. I recently had some blood work done and had some troubling numbers. So naturally it scared me. I was told everything is still reversible. But the scare made me really realize that I need to change. I doubled down on everything. My diet, my fitness my lifestyle. I’ve already lost over 10lbs since that blood work came back and my blood sugar levels are now way down to almost where they need to be. Because I’m actually feeling better about myself I feel like I’m worthy (not sure how else to word it) to look my best in fashion every day as well. I’m currently in a slightly over sized polo shirt, dark jeans and dark brown hiking boots while at work but I’m going back to my chukka boots, after I dust them off since the weather is getting nicer, to get into feeling better about how I dress. Sorry for the rambling but I just felt I needed to get it out there to guys who might know how I’m feeling.

We went to visit some friends on the Bay in Fairhope Alabama yesterday and it was beautiful out! Had to snap a few pics! I’m so grateful for life, family, friends and what the Creator created for all of us to enjoy. Don’t ever take 1 minute for granted because we’re not promised the next. Always wake up with an attitude of gratitude and make the most out of life. We’re only here for a short time so we have to enjoy it while we’re here! Have the best day guys!
