[QUOTE="lycosidae, post: 503951, member: 7819"] Basic style tips for a guy in his 30s... Trendy = Gay... That includes chukkas, gingram shirts, skinny jeans, highwater pants/jeans, anything plaid (every beta I know owns at least 4 plaid shirts), pastel colored pants, boat shoes with rolled up pants to show off your ankles, thick glasses, "flash" like brightly colored pocket squares and fancy socks or button down shirts that aren't white, blue, grey, or black... all of those just scream "I'm a dandy homosexual" - or at the very least, that you're trying too hard. Anything trendy is going to go out of style at some point -- so stick to the classics. Unless you're actually in a band and can pull off an emo look, most of us really have two options that leverage good taste and the right conservative vibe: Classic style.... Dressed up, Clooney or Pitt... Custom suits and shirting. Go to an actual tailor to have those made.
