Fuck this is last minute...Long story short my grad pics are this friday, and I'm not down to do a white shirt black tie thing >.<

Went dt/robson today, couldn't find anything I really liked at H&M, Monaco, or Harry Rosen...

where should I hit up next on tuesday? >.<

Might as well get a tie as well eh?

My suit is black btw, a little bit shiny and very thin pinstriping, recommendations for a shirt and tie?

Haha Just to clarify how bad my procrastination has gotten I just brought my suit in to get altered at oakridge tailors on wednesday and getting it back this thursday>.< damn was I lucky not to have brought it in a day late...

[Cr33pUh]

[nosleepboy87]

i would check banana republic and brooks brothers i always manage to find something there.

[RFlush]

Ballin for a highschooler!

[avinayyar]

Mexx

[Inaii]

+1 for Banana Republic. They have some really nice stuff.

[Harvey Specter]

Looks like you have money to spend if you checked out Harry Rosen so I recommend Dolce & Gabbana "slim" cut shirts, if you got the extra cash go for the "gold" cut.

[illicitstylz]

Get something in a nice lavender to get some good attention, or even a banker's dress shirt if you're wearing a tie

[rickross888]

o wtf i didn't know they opened up a Brooks Brothers store in Vancouver. gonna check that out for sure

[6insomnia9]

Go le chateau, they have nice one for reasonable prices.

[ilvtofu]

How much are lechateau shirts? Never actually shopped there -.-

[tiger_handheld]

if you can afford to buy at Rosen , you can afford Chateau.

[ilvtofu]

Lol i'm not feeling like spending >100 on a shirt right now, but i'm guessing le chateau would be pretty cheap, saw some nice ones at Harry Rosen but they were about $250 each ...

[6insomnia9]

You don't need to buy 250$ dress shirts unless you are ballinnnnnnnn as fuck.
Just check out dress shirts at le chateau, both of mine are from their , my black one was $50 and the recent one i bought was $75.

[ilvtofu]

^What colour did u go for ur grad pics?
Yeah I really don't care since i'll be wearing a suit on top, I might go give H&M a looksee too, but went last week and selection has gone downhill IMO

[6insomnia9]

H&M isn't bad either, I went all black xD.
The recent one i bought was dark purple.

[ilvtofu]

Nice, all black just like ur car? damn thats too hardcore, might go for purple but all my friends are too... >.<

[6insomnia9]

Lmao , i just like the color.. Don't hate !
Purple is a good color or if you are slick you can pull off all white!

[BabyblooLexus]

+1 for Mexx

they have a whole purple/violet thing going on, which i think looks pretty sharp on guys.
the bf just got one from there and it looks great on him

[ilvtofu]

Damn all my friends are wearing purple :cry: oh well no one will be able to tell since they're my individuals anyways

[The_AK]

[CP.AR]

Vancouver needs a freaking G2000

[TOS'd]

go to Holt Renfrew, nice stuff there.

[too_slow]

Vancouver needs a freaking G2000

Werd. I have their entire 'black label' collection.. LOL

Don't buy Mexx dress shirts.. After one wash, they look so 'worn-down'..

[liu13]

[3xta]

LOL, your going to look like your on the conservative party

black label = rip off IMO. higher price for the same quality...

[hotjoint]

I get all my dressy stuff from mexx. hit up the queensborough or langley outlet :thumbsup:

[Tapioca]

Why don't you just wear a white shirt? White shirts may be 'boring', but they go with everything and look good on just about anyone (which will in turn make you feel good during your photoshoot.) If you want to stand out, get one with French cuffs and make sure that the cuff is peaking out from your suit jacket.

Slim cut, no shirt pocket. Pick a suitable fabric - Oxford or herringbone - and you're good to go. Throw in a pocket square and you'll look classier than all of your friends in purple/pastel shirts.

[ilvtofu]

^yeah I think I will end up going with white that and I really have no time left, heck 20 years from now at least I won't go "what the fuck was I thinking wearing a (mauve/aloe/aqua/fuschia/etc) shirt!?!?!!

[BabyblooLexus]

heck 20 years from now at least I won't go "what the fuck was I thinking wearing a (mauve/aloe/aqua/fuschia/etc) shirt!?!?!!

LMAO

thats true, but it i were gna go wit a safe colour, i'd probably do black with white tie. looks more like... suave. haha.

[ilvtofu]

:haha: that just so happens to be what we're doing for our group pic

fuck i'm broke >.<

[3xta]

i dont wanna call out all your flaws for color selections, but i guess your young so do whatever you want and learn from it.

black shirt w/ black suit + white tie = wannabe mobster. just so you know

if your really having trouble, try to buy the tie and the shirt at the same place so at least u can try on both at the same time to see if the colors work.

Oh shit they have a store here???

[jdc430]

You didn't state how much you are looking to spend. But considering u r in high school i'd suggest getting a SLIM FIT dress shirt from H&M. Quality shirt for the cheap price tag...

Yup but colour selection pretty meh

LOL I still have a bunch of shirts i bought from G2000 last christmas in HK, damn they're a good deal :thumbsup: OPEN ONE HERE PL0X!!!

[nosleepboy87]

never liked g2000 too much
nothing beats my brooks brothers non-iron slim fitting shirts for work
2 for 179 right now, just picked up 2 today. i can work in them all day and they look still crisps clean at the end of the day

[svelt]

Get a proper dress shirt, that is one that is long enough so you can actually tuck it in without it flying out every 10 minutes. For fit, Paul Smith is quite good if you're fairly slim, and run around $100 on sale at Holts. BB is excellent, 2 for $179 is hard to beat and these will last years. Ralph Lauren's "Black Label" at Holts is woven with some of the finest fabric I've ever worn, is actually made in Italy, and I've seen them as low as $100 as well. Don't pay $250 for some Boss shirt, you're doing yourself and your wallet a great disservice. Skip the french cuff shirts - too flashy for your age and most work settings, and make sure sleeves are long enough to reach the base of your thumb so you can properly wear a suit with it - you want your shirt to be as versatile as possible. Make sure the neck isn't too tight when you button up the top button - you need to be able to wear a tie with it after all.

Mexx is awful, any more than $20 and you're ripping yourself off. Buttons fall off faster than panties on an e. hastings hooker. Banana Republic is actually quite sturdy in construction, but ignore the "woven in Italy" tag - it's still made in India and their fits are only good if you're short and bulky. Their slim fit line is OK, but is still too short for taller people. If you pay retail for them you'd be paying as much or even more than a fine BB shirt on a discount and that's just...lunacy.

[nosleepboy87]

only buy bananarepublic shirts when they have there 40% off coupon
thats as much as they r worth IMO :p
go to Brooks Brothers and have them measure you if you want exact measurements you should be looking for. those guys actually know what they are doing. most sales ppl i find can't measure a guy properly for their shirt size...almost all i ran into just measure you up to the base of your palm and you are suppose to go to the base of your thumb....
