TOPIC: Examples of "I'm richer than you"-style

tegolitious wrote: I'm with you on the Ronaldo style, I enjoy both and I switch between the two. I like variety. But you also have to take in consideration the audience, the competition and the event. The whole thing of being edgy is to stand out. You don't need much to stand out when everyone around you is wearing plain grey or black suits. I even used this concept when I was job hunting during the career fair at my school. Everyone was in blue navy or black suit, and I purposely got a grey suit

Here I'm in Texas interviewing for an Internship, behind me was the competition!

Great thread.

Hope you ate up the competition and got that internship son.

Great replies so far.
I terms of dressing classy when going out to approach during the day I agree with Tegolitious when he says the following:

my idea of edgy within the context of being classy/rich is that you should show it through the accessories. The edgy side should come more in a subtle way. Girls can easily pick on it when they see those details.

Basically, you shoudn't dress too fancy. Rather dress causally fancy if you get my drift, and then add some nice accessories that gives your outfit edge.

However, what I've found so far is that when going out during the night you don't need to add the edge to your outfit. You can definitely do very good just dressing classy. This is due to the importance of status. Status is more important when you're creeping at night than when you're creeping at day and dressing fancy shows of status. This is why I advice dressing classy rather than going edgy when you're going to clubs/bars.

This is what I'm using for inspiration at the moment:

Edit.
I recently wore this outfit (just with black dress shoes) when me and Sam was going out and I did extremely well.

Yeah I was offered the internship, but I turned it down because of better offer I got from another company!
I've given up on too much pussy these past few years so that I could build strong foundations for my career. I'm ready to catch up with it.

You just made me realize something, about being edgy during the day. Most people have a completely different mindset during the day vs at night. Girls expect to be approached less during the day than at night, so they have other things to think about. By being edgy you have them switch their way of think from "I got to go to "work/gym/lunch" to "being flirty and sexual". You don't need to do all that while you are at the bar because the vibe is already high and everyone is in the "social/sexual" mode. In this scenario you got to work on you social status, how to show that you are above the rest. Being classy helps a lot. Now, I have more of a European style and before I moved to the US, I was used to dressing up a lot every time I would go out, day or night. I was shocked when I moved to the US and see guys wear cargo shorts and flip flops at the trendiest bars. If you dress classy in these type of environment you've already left behind 80-90% of the competition, look wise.

I could totally see myself in these clothes

Great outfit, you could even throw in some glasses, a tie/bow tie!

I can't believe none of you included the waistcoat/vest look .
Such a simple add on refines ur clothing and elevates the style by quite a few knotches!



1.Add a pricey watch and a few High quality bracelets along with a solid masculine ring and *BOOM* It's game On Son!

*I'm actually planning to carbon copy this ^ look of Taylor Lautner to a T when I get shredded to 7% bf% later this year and get HQ DSLR pics for Online Dating*



Keep Posting guys!...Threads like these are dope as fuck.

PS:If u are gonna get a waistcoat online or off the shelf,Get it fitted to ur body by a Tailor later on.The Fit is everything for this look.
For reducing waist width of vest to accentuate V-Taper,Reduce Side Seams NOT Center Seam.

@tegolitious: Again you're spot on. That's also what I've noticed so far. If you like the denim/classy look check out the attached picture for inspiration
@Phoenix2327: Haha you're right, totally forgot about the waistcoat. So simple yet so stylish (Chris also recommends the waistcoat in this Winter-Style guide).

My take on the waistcoat look:

Great thread here!

How could you rock this style in hotter places though?

Virtually all the styles here are layers, layers, layers.

Shorts, thin dress shirt, and a rolex?

This is a problem I face as well. I live in Arizona. This time of year I could wear this stuff but 9-10 months out of the year It wouldn't be practical. It sucks because it seems like having layers is a big part of style. The only good outfit I can think of wearing around here would just be a v-neck/edgy t-shirt with jeans and some accessories. No jackets, scarfs, really anything long sleeve at all.

Read my post here: www.goodlookingloser.com/forums/look-goo...heap-clothing#179553

If you want to layer in a hotter place, try clothing made from linen, it is more breathable. If you can't layer, up the quality of the fabric and focus on achieving that perfect fit. There is a pretty noticeable difference between a cheap, $10 white v-neck and a designer $100+ t-shirt and an even moreso difference in real life.

Anyone that can't see a difference this either is looking at the wrong brand (e.g. Armani which is grossly overrated and buying the brand more than clothing) or really just have no idea what quality is. FYI that shirt I linked feels like silk IRL 100% breathable/layerable even in hot summer days. For the guys in extreme climates where a suit/sports jacket may not be viable most of the year, a high end, quality t shirt can be an equivalent investment and be worth it.

Several of the outfits I linked below are from a brand called L.B.M. 1911, they offer summer blazers from breathable material.

The trick to buying those ridiculously expensive designer clothing is through a reseller like zappos, 6pm, eBay, or at end of season sales when they are 40-70% off. I honestly would never buy any at full retail price yet all the clothes I own are high designer brands I purchased for less than 50% of retail price, usually even less.

Also, in hotter climates, learn to expand beyond the generic guy colours like black, white, grey, and blue. Learn to incorporate the entire colour wheel. Best way to do this is go on Pinterest and study the styles put together by top designers.

Here are some examples of what I mean:





Here is an example of a very high end look without a tie. Notice even though it uses basic colours of blue, white and black, it is a more appropriate, style conscious look in the summer than a full blue/grey suit.


This look is more edgy and convey just as much if not more "I'm richer than you" than a business suit and tie (Ignore the background and camera in hand) because of the jacket pattern, the contrasting, white buttons, pocket square with distinct white edges, the tassel loafers, and a wide spread white collar shirt as opposed to a classic spread. An average person will recognize the status/money the guy has through his clothing and the aforementioned micro details are what they pick up on unconsciously and what really separates an expensive, high end fashionable look from just another generic guy in a suit.

Going back to the idea of being edgy and classy through accessories. Here you have some examples:





Summer clothes are usually more colorful, while winter clothes not so much. Winter is moody enough for me, so I don't like dressing with dark colors. Using bright colors when everyone is wearing plain grey/black is enough to stand out. I found out that the perfect combination of colors is the # 3, three pieces of different colors. Just like the pictures that deadbeat posted, if you have noticed. You can also use only 2 or 4 pieces, but 3 is perfect!
Also it is good to switch colors between each piece of clothing: shoes, pants, belt, shirt, jacket. You can see it in most of the pictures that have already been posted. Personally I enjoy pieces of clothing of only one color, that are not too overwhelming to the eye, but there are always exceptions like in the picture below. Even then, not more than one piece of clothing.





During the summer you show more skin, it is then when accessories come to play. The lack of layers during the summer is replaced by the variety of accessories. You can throw in multiple bracelets, watch, multiple necklaces, glasses, hat, earrings, multiple rings (tattoos are revealed more), all in one. You can even throw in a man purse, lol, I'm not kidding though. But that's more for bigger cities where you have to walk/use public transportation and you need something to keep your belongings. It's hard to use all of these accessories in winter.
In one sentence: In winter you have layers, in summer you have accessories.

^ Good stuff guys

Keep them coming...

Even I am currently residing in a hot and humid place and while blazers and layering is quite easy right now(thanks to being cooler these days) and in the night time,There is always room for better professional and sleek looking wear for the summer, during the daytime.

Deadbeat, thanks for the tip man. I just went on 6pm and got a $90 John Varvatos shirt for $20
