Clutch, you see the thing is that I generally like suits for my evening forays and that article says that black suits are perfect for the evening and compliment club and whatnot lighting well.

I have no problem with this. Black is perfectly fine in the dim, though for someone like me (pale) a midnight blue suit--it's right there in the name!--would be a better choice for eveningwear. My objection to black suits is for men who own one suit and it is black.

I found I generally have a thing for black jeans. I am a bit more of a heavyset guy, and the whole blue jean thing looks tacky to me. What kind of pants would you guys reccomend.

Vertical stripes.

Tiny hats

Tiny, vertically striped hats.

Better yet...

This seems like the best place to ask this question, even if it's not about clothes per se.

I traditionally sport an Abe Lincoln chinbeard, but my hairstylist has advised me that it's time to move on to something different. However, I like having facial hair, but I've found I still dislike the sensation of a mustache, so I'm trying to figure out what else to do.

I'm considering muttonchops.

Is this a good idea or a bad idea?

I only know ONE guy with mutton chops.

DO NOT DO MUTTON CHOPS. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO

The only people who wear muttonchops are people you do not want to be. If you find yourself trending towards that sort of person, you need to do some life correction.

I thought everyone loved Christmas carolers. ;_;

Mutton chops can work.

But only if you dress like a veteran of the Napoleonic wars.

I just inherited 3 pairs of cowboy boots. Is there any circumstance in which I can wear them without looking like douche?

Lottel · « **Reply #52 on:** October 06, 2010, 03:37:36 PM »

1. Are you a cowboy?
2. Are you a cowboy?

If the answer to either of these are no, no.

Move to Texas. You'll still look like a douche, but so will everybody else so it won't be as individualized.

I'd take the more nuanced position of "depends on the cowboy boot." If they lay it on thick it can be tricky, but if they've got squared or rounded toes, maybe not too much patterning, I can see it working. I've got a pair I wear with jeans over the top. Sort of just look like boots.

Depends on the cowboy boot? Then you tell me.

Mongrel · « **Reply #56 on:** October 08, 2010, 04:17:33 PM »

That middle one is TERRIBLE.

The other two are garish - the two-tone one hilariously so - but could be made to serve depending on the outfit and your own sense of fun.

Classic · « **Reply #57 on:** October 08, 2010, 07:16:24 PM »

If you wanted to go someplace where you were afraid of say... glass and shit but didn't want to sully your workboots, you could wear the middle ones.

... Give them to a ladytype?

Malikial · « **Reply #58 on:** October 08, 2010, 10:06:09 PM »

The thing about boots is if you wear the proper pants they cover the boot top. A lot of two tone boots are made 2 tone because the top of them isn't meant to be seen. Best I've seen boots is wearing them under nice dress pants or boot-cut jeans. Hence the name boot-cut. Boots actually look nice if they are not huge garish and you're wearing them mostly covered with a nice suit or dress outfit. Also, don't wear 'western shirts'.

I'd never really considered the kimono+cowboy boot look before.
