Cabelas. Great mens clothes for casual. Khakis are top drawer, mens dress shirts are a steal

I wear these jeans

http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product...tId=cat5920083



says they're $40 but they go on sale quite a bit in store and online and you can often find them for about $25. Doesn't have to be AE. Boot cut jeans just look good. IMO.

As for Shirt. This is very broad. Depending on what you're in to the most and what you like. I normally just go with a pair of those jeans and a T-shirt. Usually a Nike Dri-fit, Royals shirt. Plus its different because I live in Kansas and you live in California and our climates are much different so obviously styling choices are different but I'll put down a few things and if you like where I'm going ill post more. Pretty much Bro-wear.

Can't go wrong with the Dri-fit. So comfortable and loose, no matter the weight.



I like shopping at Kohls because you can always find something on their many many clearance racks and they carry my Cargo Shorts that I love. Which is another thing. Check out Sonoma Cargo shorts at Kohls. Very comfortable and cheap and they look good.

Also Old navy has some nice clothes that won't break your bank either.

Button up plaids are in right now, and so is layering.

I could also spend a whole paycheck at Dicks

I'm trying to move away from the graphic tee look.

Dri-Fit shirts and jeans? Don't do it. Cargo shorts? Don't do it.

You're right, Jeans are definitely out. Just wear underwear and wife beaters Buck.

And plaid was in about 2 years ago. Advice fail from Shogun.

I'm almost now up to that uncomfortable (for me) point in my life where I'm expected to look good each day of my life.

I need business stuff.

I guess I should have gone into further detail. I like my Levi's, I'm pretty set on jeans...I know the style of them I like, but I'd like to wear other pants outside of my house other than Jeans...you know?

Wind pants.

That takes me back to 4th-5th grade. That's all I wore in life. I guess I saw them as a fancier-scaled sweatpant.

Haha...people can hear you coming from a mile away.

Anyone tried Bonobos? Onlinie shopping guaranteeing everything with free shipping both directions, with a one year return policy.

They have concierge services at some higher end retailers, where if you aren't comfortable with online clothing,

Hear about them all the time on Comedy Bang-Bang and Sklarbro Country. Saw a couple pairs of pants a RSO/Cargo Largo, but even with the savings of unclaimed fiieght they were $40-45

Ha, this thread is absolutely hilarious. A bunch of 30-50 year old men from the mid-west giving fashion advice. 1999 called, it would like to have it's Sketchers and cargo pants back please.

Also, the Brooks Brothers links are absolutely ridiculous. $400 for a sweater vest Mmmmmkay! If you can't come out of Target/Ross with a pimp outfit you don't have style and paying 10-20 times as much for a sweater isn't going to change that. It's mostly about being able to match the right colors/style/proper fit, also dressing age appropriate but within current style is important. I am in my 30s so I don't wear skinny jeans and flat-hats, but I do make sure to pay attention to current trends and add pieces that aren't ridiculous.

To the guy who lives in SD who posted the atrocious old man leather boat shoes...WTF dude? You live in Southern Cali... it's Vans, Sperrys, or flip-flops for you son.

Also, REI is only fly in Colorado. That shit won't pass on the coasts. Guys from Colo crack me up, your standard issue black North Face fleece has probably gotten you laid here, but that magical power stops at the state line.

What do people think about driver caps? I like them, but it seems to make a statement that says, I'm trying to be cool.
