Men's Fashion

Square

I wear a pretty standard outfit (company branded polo and grey or khaki pants)... every day so I dress it up with a nice watch (omega speedmaster) and a nato strap. Nice statement piece that’s a talking point since I always loved design and nasA

I work in different shoes and belts and occasionally rock a button down.

Apologies for the shitty picture quality

Xarpolis Get some of the old bond persols. Those things are ballin and distinct

I just did a google search. That isn't my style at all.


You would know best. I've been letting my facial hair go for a few days at a time before I shave again. It's just a lazy thing. I don't like having a beard anymore. It's too hot for that out here.

Which model were you looking at? The 2720s and some variants were mainly what I was thinking. Some of the more ornate styles i can’t do For the style your looking at square. They have some editions that look a little more large. Main thing I like about them is they are fairly distinctive with their marking on the sides. Won’t see tons of them on the street

My biggest fashion upgrade recently though has been getting a subscription at a men’s salon to keep my beard and hair sides very tight. It’s a monthly fee and I get touch ups done weekly so that I keep a good fade from my beard to sideburns. Works out well. I wear it pretty tight, no guard to a few days grown beyond that.

It works well for me, any longer is too much to your point (I live in Houston TX)

Nice stuff. I need to work this in a bit more. My job gives me a bunch of branded polos, but I typically wear dress slacks with a button down. Summer time is getting a bit hot for that, and working in hospitals means dress shoes also don't work nearly as well. I bought about 4 pairs of legit work shoes that I rotate through because my feet stink like fuck if I don’t.

Goal for the rest of the year is get more branded polos, find better shoes that have rubber soles, comfortable, and don't look like sneakers, and a watch. Love it! For about a year, maybe a decade ago, I was really into the fake Rolex's for fun. About $300-400, and they are pretty damn legit looking. repgeek maybe? I'd have to Google it but was a whole forum dedicated to the parts and people making the fakes.

Watches are a super personalized thing so I would never presume to give advice on it, but when I was searching for one I personally decided specifically to look for a storied brand that wasn’t a Rolex because I didn’t feel comfortable at my age (I’m 30). I bought it used off of craigslist showed up at an omega jeweler and got it certified was like 2700 for me. What I liked about it is it’s strap diversity. You can really do well with a NATO, leather , or metal strap for when the occasion calls for it. I put on my metal links when I get a suit on. Super diverse which is awesome

Sometimes I’ll wear a polo cloth 2 color khaki belt and work in sperrys which is nice for knocking around when it’s hot out. Houston is hell in the summer. I legit work a four shoe rotation because my feet stink like shit therwise

I feel like it’s time for me to switch to dress shirts, slacks and shoes. Maybe a blazer too. Shoes I have covered but the rest I want to get while tossing my current shirts(don’t really have any slacks). Price doesn’t matter but the smaller the quality/price ratio is, the better. For shirts I know CT is recommended here often but I would like another’s option or two. Please enlighten.

Also a new suit or five would be nice.
