Caual Friday: Docked

Like:

  • The colors. Autumn is a month better suited to warm colors. These golden pants are a perfect example.
  • The texture. The rougher weave of wool on his sweater is a good way to get some High/Low in with your outerwear game. Most guys feel too dressed up in a sweater as opposed to a hoody but throwing one on that’s a thicker, rougher weave makes it more casual and more masculine.
  • The fit. Not too baggy, not emo skinny. Everything fits him well.
  • The beard. Fall and winter are great for wearing a beard. Even if you keep one year round, now is the time to let it get a little longer.

Fence:

  • The boots. I can’t tell much about them from this photo. However, I do know this is a catalog photo from H&M’s fall collection so I’m assuming they are H&M boots. I’ve heard the quality of their footwear is not the best.

Don’t Like:

  • The ponytail. A man can pull one of these off when his hair is adequately long. However, this bob-looking thing is awful.
  • The hood. It completely ruins the whole look of this shot. If it were a tall collar or even a turtleneck this outfit would be near perfect. The hood, especially with the drawstrings, turns this into a weird, casual tweak on something that should have been left classic. 

PS. Did you know I do private style consultations? I can help you dress better according to your budget and your needs.

Casual Friday: Warm

Like:

  • The coloring. There is such a thing as a warm blue and this sweater is proof. If you have a warm complexion, you can still wear blue and should look for it in shades similar to this.
  • The shoes/socks. Great for fall because the socks are a heavy wool and the shoes are more substantial than summer slip-ons without being actual boots.
  • The pants. Perfect autumn texture and color. The fit looks spot on too.
  • The belt. Fall colors are more associated with the old tradition of country clothes. So, having a canvas belt in those same colors with club symbols on them is a subtle but direct nod to the sartorial history of this whole outfit.
  • The plaid shirt. More warm colors for a warm complexion and provide a bit of pattern contrast instead of just texture.

Fence:

  • The glasses. I like the shape but the frames need to be more substantial to be consistent with the country-vibe of the rest of his outfit.
  • Random sword?

Don’t like:

  • Nothing. This is one of the better casual ensembles I’ve seen.
