I'm looking for something mid-weight and a little rugged. These look great, but a tad pricey.

I have been looking for below-knee cargo shorts that have a gusset. Every short I buy inevitably rips in the crotch, and I feel a gusset would protect against that.

I’ve seen someone in public wearing a gusseted below-knee pair of shorts, and I regret not asking where they got them (though guys don’t typically talk fashion).

I just received an order for a few shirts from LL Bean. Right now, any brand's Large is just a tad tight on me but I'm trying to lose weight and expect to squeeze in soon. These shirts are HUGE.

I double checked their website's fit guide. By all accounts, it's suggesting I'm a large (5'6" 43 chest). The long sleeve shirt is one size too big, the short sleeves are at least two sizes, if not three, too big. The sweat shirt is a bit large but wearable.

My plan at this point is to take the nearly two hour drive (with traffic) to my nearest store to try the shirts on in person. Just wondering if I got a weird batch or if I'm a size small in LL Bean.

Or, should I be expecting these to shrink a lot in the wash?

UPDATE: So, I drove the store and confirmed my suspicions with the associate. “Traditional Fit” is two sizes bigger, “Slim Fit” is one size bigger, and “Signature” is about right, he said.
I didn’t like the signature sizing at all; it was oddly a little smocky and ballooned out at the bottom. And while the small traditional fit fit my width okay, I think it’s a little short, and I’m just 5’6”.

Have to get dress shoes, found some that seem decent, what is the consensus on them?

I've had some Clark's in the past, but never for dress shoes.

i am in shambles - I bought two Weatherproof Vintage short sleeve men's linen button down shirts last month from Costco, they were like $15 each, thinking little of it, oh these are probably going to be ok, normal big box store shirts.

but I've worn them, and slowly realized: these are the best shirts I've ever worn. they're comfortable, they fit perfectly, they feel absolutely perfect, the linen is perfectly breathable and feels perfect on my skin, they look very summery and nice, I've never enjoyed a shirt more than these shirts.

So I want more than the pink and blue that I bought, because that's only 2 days of the week. I go to the official website and the shirts start at $60. I am wrecked. I should've bought 15 of them at the store.

Costco themselves have a few left online, but only in obscure sizes and ugly colors. I am in shambles.

It's spring here in Europe, but we're international... right? I use the reverse drape cross a lot, though I've used the chest warmer while wearing a suit a couple of times, this past winter.

Hi everyone. Need your advise please. Can I wear this loafer with chino shorts?

I got a poncho for indoor. It was so confy I wear it to the cinema but I felt like everyone was staring at me.

Thoughts? My mother said I look like I smoke weed all day when she saw me and my gf said I look like some eco hippy bum.

I dont know. Those are two opinions but I wanted to know what you all think.

Edit: i know my jeans are dirty. I just finished mudding a small wall and thought I can do that without making a mess lol

I an lost with what to wear to my wedding. It is a summertime lakehouse venue and I am thinking 100 different things.

Half of me wants to stand out that bit extra and get a dinner jacket/tux. Or else a three piece mismatched set, like matching waistcoat and pants with a different colour jacket.

The other half wants simplicity with a two piece and suspenders.

I like three pieces because they keep you looking together throughout a long day and night.

I am mostly against check patterns and am leaning toward greens like sage or emerald with cream but open to options. Happy with earth tones or natural colours.
