I think maybe around a year ago, there was a fashion thread for nerds/geeks to dress more maturely. It covered everything from suits, to shirts, to shoes.
After reading over that forum, it lead into a small obsession and I started to read everything I could on fashion. Anyway, after a year of collecting/buying clothes I figured I'd show what kind of classic styles I find to be more accessible for people like me who has no need to wear a suit every day.
Honestly the best thing about having a "complete" closet is that I never have to worry about looking like a moron/manchild when I go out for socials.

I would look like a fake businessman wearing any type of suit attire. Just think it sticks out too much unless you're 30+ |

Looks like you just want to wear blazers with denim all day. I started being into fashion about four or five years ago and I've upgraded my wardrobe a lot since then. I actually have those suede bucks in the sixth picture but I rarely wear them as I have better footwear that fits my style nowadays.

My fashion is minimal but I too have removed the t-shirt from the vast majority of outtings.
Leaning on polos and button ups with rolled up sleeves which work well with the still-standard denim |

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time | |

pretty much. i think it's a classic feel, and as a grad student, i don't really stick out. i guess if i was undergrad, than it would def be overdressing xD |

Yeah, wear what you are comfortable in. I always think that if you look good, you will feel good and aside from going to the gym and working out, clothes will fill that role.
I don't think wearing a blazer is over dressing at all. It is a little bit more formal than other garments but it can still be worn casually. The look of denim or chinos with a blazer isn't "sticking out" IMO. But you will be better dressed than probably 90% of your peers. |

Is wearing a tie to "socials" not over dressing?
When did this whole shortened pants thing start? When will it go away? |

Not soon enough I fear |

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same | |

These looks are solid, although I would personally add a tie-bar to the ties. The jacket on the second photo is too much as well imo and the last look suits men in their forties+. Also not that fond of the pocket square in the third look (ecpecially how it's placed, pops out too much).
Where do you seek most of your knowledge on fashion (magazines, blogs etc) ? |
