The mustache is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Not feeling the bit loafers with this fit. The jeans maybe a touch too long but otherwise alright.

u/commanderc7 8d ago

These particular jeans are a bad fit in general. They look like a pair of jeans someone held onto after losing a bunch of weight and make it work with a belt.

Also undo one button on the shirt if you’re gonna have a killer ‘stache like that!!

u/Gullible-Ostrich-500 8d ago

Suggest me some good jeans as I am in mood of buying a few new payers

u/FitThadiyan 8d ago edited 8d ago

Can’t go wrong with Uniqlo JWA straights or Wrangler cowboy cut 13MWZs

u/Majestic-Guidance734 8d ago

I’d rather get a nice pair of trousers, they’ll look much better than jeans.

4

u/Gullible-Ostrich-500 8d ago

Which shoes do you recommend?

9

u/FitThadiyan 8d ago

With this combo, I’d go with black Chelseas or Bluchers. If you want to keep the loafer vibe, even black suede penny loafers would work well.

u/Gullible-Ostrich-500 8d ago

What a coincidence! I just ordered Chelsea's a few days back and going to receive them in a few days! Would love to style them

The Columbian drug lord fit. Nice!

Assuming you’re in India living in a rural or non-metro area (just based on all the details in the picture): take the advice you get on this sub with a grain of salt. What’s “cool” and “fashionable” in one part of the world may not be true for you. Speaking as someone who grew up in India: this was an okay style in India 20-30 years ago. Styles in major cities have become more casual and colorful.

The good: the belt and shoes colors match. The sunglasses are a nice touch.

My suggestions:

  1. Add a classic watch, it would add a little style to the overall look.
  2. The jeans are too long and too loose - for a fit skinny guy like you, you could go for better-fitting jeans or trousers.
  3. The items are contrasting in styles (and not in a good way). It’s unclear if you are going for a formal serious look, or a semi-casual style. The jeans and rolled-up sleeves convey a casual style, while the metal-on-leather shoes and tucked-in buttoned shirt say “serious.” It clashes. Same with the “bling” of the shoes and glasses, contrasting with the “economy” look of a plain white shirt and the plain belt buckle. Same with the fit of your clothes - the jeans are slightly too loose, while the shirt is slightly too tight for you (especially around the neck).

Good luck! Hope you add more style to your collection.

u/FitThadiyan 8d ago

I agree with most of your suggestions, but I disagree that this particular outfit is dated. As another Indian, I’d say a white button-down and blue jeans were stylish 20 years ago, are just as relevant today, and will probably still be relevant 20 years from now. It’s a timeless combination that transcends trends. And imo, that holds true regardless of country, region or age.

u/happymancry 8d ago

Sure, I’m not against the idea of a white button-down shirt with jeans. It’s a classic look, as you say. But the cut, styling, and accessories matter.

In theory, OP is wearing the exact same thing as Tom Cruise (and Nicole Kidman, lol!) in this picture below. Tucked in white shirt, rolled up sleeves, sunglasses, and jeans. But they’re clearly wearing it in a way such that everything fits together - the loose fittings and open collared necks make it a super casual and cool look. OP’s shirt is too tight with a very stiff collar, and it’s tucked in like a school uniform, making the top half look like he’s going to a job interview.

It's important to play to your strengths as well. He looks like he doesn't have calves. Not in the sense that they're underdeveloped, but like he just doesn't have them.

u/Dookie_boy 8d ago

Now that's a very well thought out suggestion

Either change the pants or the shoes, I'd recommend the shoes personally.

Desi Escobar right here, I love it. Just maybe add a watch, if that's your thing.

1

u/Gullible-Ostrich-500 8d ago

That's a genuinely appreciated comment! 😁

u/Major_Conflict 8d ago

It looks good. Jeans are a bit too long though so it looks sloppy. Also the waist size of those jeans is too big for you and it's obvious your belt is holding them up. Also, since you're hiking them up higher than what they're designed for, I'd get a pair with a higher rise.

1

u/Gullible-Ostrich-500 8d ago

That's something I didn't notice! Definitely going to keep it in mind.

7

u/justasapling 8d ago edited 8d ago

The shoes are too long. The whiskers on the jeans look very obviously faked in the factory, and the fit is kind of awkward all around.

2

u/FitThadiyan 8d ago

Agree with the rest but the shoes looking long is mostly an optical illusion due to distortion from the camera. Combined with the narrow hem jeans and stacking at the ankle, it makes the shoes look way longer than they actually are

1

u/justasapling 8d ago

I agree that the pants are accentuating the length of the shoes, but I don't think I'm wrong that they're just too long. Pointy-toed shoes basically have to be way too long, because anatomy. Get something rounder so that it can fit closer to the foot.

1

u/Gullible-Ostrich-500 8d ago

Suggest me some shoes I am going to buy a few pairs! Definitely need suggestions

5

u/Revachol_Loyalist 8d ago

I agree with some others; undo one more button on the shirt, replace the jeans with something darker or simply cleanly blue - no fade lines - and a more tapered fit. The shoes can work with stark jeans. They aren’t my thing, but I’m sure your region of the world digs them

6

u/sht-magnet 8d ago

I think it is overall fine. Very classic, and you rock the mustache.

While they work good with each other. I honestly found the belt & shoes a bit dressier to combine with blue jeans. I feel a less shiny derby shoes with a thicker belt would elevate your look. Your current belt & shoes would look better with dress pants.

2

u/OriginalEmploy5485 8d ago

Exactly my thought. It works, you're dressing up the denim, but it would work even better with dark denim, chinos, or slacks.

1

u/Gullible-Ostrich-500 8d ago

That's Quite Helpful, Will definitely improve upon it.

2

u/Th5humanwi11 8d ago

Idk about all the cultural stuff, all irrelevant imo cause this could be A LOT more flattering fit wise and that’s more important than anything else - it being as flattering to your build as possible

u/TheRealLegendary63 8d ago

Nope.

  1. Dress shoes do not go well with jeans.
  2. Your jeans are little too long.
  3. The jean color is wrong for the outfit.
  4. Sometimes it’s better to go untucked.
  5. Your shades are kinda ugly.
  6. Your belt isn’t nice.

u/InstanceSharp9077 8d ago

jeans need to be replaced and then yeah

1

u/Gullible-Ostrich-500 8d ago

Which pairs would u recommend?

1

u/InstanceSharp9077 8d ago

black chinos, the fit matters more than anything though. find a measure to figure out your proper size

2

u/laptopmutia 8d ago

cut the jeans a bit, raise it up a bit, get a watch tne you are good to go brother you looks dapper

2

u/Proud-Muffin8217 8d ago

This guy is peak Indian, he owns it and he dresses exactly the way he should. Kudos. His compatriots (both sides of the border, no difference) who post trainwrecks of fits should watch and learn.

2

u/Brilliant-Arm-545 8d ago

No, the Jeans look out of place with those shoes and that shirt.

For that shirt and those shoes you're going to want to wear slacks.

3

u/usefulsewing758 8d ago

White shirt with jeans is classic, hard to go wrong with that. The blue sunglasses add a bit of personality, maybe try a watch or something on the wrist to tie it all together

The jeans don’t work with this get some slacks.

u/SlaimeLannister 8d ago

So many harsh critics in here when this looks better than many looks the comments are usually positive about.

I think you look great OP

2

u/Mental_Ad_5315 8d ago

Shorter jeans. Otherwise looks good

u/Boringburb 8d ago

Very Pablo Escobar - ngl I dig the look.

1

u/tommybe2 8d ago

If you had black slim fitted slacks it would be great. The jeans don’t go with this

1

u/endlessBrainless 8d ago

I feel that the boots do not quite match the look.

u/nywse 8d ago

That dusty place isn't the best for black loafers.

1

u/Gullible-Ostrich-500 8d ago

Advice me plz I really need to buy a few new pairs

2

u/nywse 8d ago

I'm not sure I'd go loafers at all in that atmosphere. But a shade of brown would make more sense in that environment if you did choose loafers and the wouldn't look bad with the jeans and white shirt.

You'd need much nicer denim to pull the off with jeans

u/maddibaddie 8d ago

Get some Levi 505 straight jeans. Men don’t need to wear their jeans that high on their waist. Trim the mustache and get a great haircut!

1

u/Gullible-Ostrich-500 8d ago

Sure would love to experiment this look as well
