Outfit of the day featuring another shirt that I tailored myself to fit. Took the sides of this one in just over 2 inches on average, and added 3/4” darts. Paired with these light grey 5 pocket pants and brown leather shoes. Feeling good today!

One of the things I learned how to DIY recently that I feel significantly improved my look: tailoring my shirts. I went on a deep dive YouTube session learning how to do it myself, bought a sewing machine, and have been obsessed with making my shirts fit properly since. For tall skinny guys like myself, your shirts don’t have to fit you like a potato sack! Pics of the blue shirt I tailored this morning and wore to work today, and a picture of a shirt in the same size from the same manufacturer that isn’t tailored. What a difference. Had to take in the sides on this shirt 2 inches on average, take in the sleeves an inch and a half at the arm pit, and added 3/4” darts to the back.

The other day I posted about a few shoes, and yesterday I went to a couple of shops to get them (and ordered the boots online, so still waiting on them). Yesterday night I also had a friend's birthday, and what better occasion to wear those brand new brogues? Without changing anything else from my current style/clothes (I wore gray jeans + dark purple shirt), I got 2 direct – and 1 indirect with a person noticing – compliments about the shoes from the people there. That felt so good! I can't wait to redo my entire wardrobe and level up on the rest as well 🤩
