I’m getting a suit too, but the blazer is good for more casual situations and I can wear it with jeans

I do sort of understand what you're getting at though, the blazer in the OP has a bit of a southern frat vibe to it.

Uniqlo - very casual
Mango - Similar to Zara, usually on sale
GAP, Banana Republic, Jcrew - Step up quality wise. Ignore retail price, they all usually have massive sales. If you keep an eye out you can get a ludlow jacket from Jcrew for $60-70.
Ebay - I haven't bought secondhand in a long time but you used to be able to find quality coats on ebay.

Also if you have a Nordstrom rack near you, I would say go there instead of Macys.

Dude buy a blazer that’s made from a more conventional material than corduroy. There’s a reason the thing is 80% off. Nothing wrong with buying a blazer but at least look into what makes a blazer good

for blazers.

I’m open to spend a couple hundred, but this is marked down 83%

Seems like a great deal

My chest is about 42” so should I order a 42R?

It’s definitely better than the first one you posted. That shade of blue is a little on the bright side for me but I don’t know how you normally dress. Something closer to navy is a safer bet. I would also look for something that is at least partially made of wool.

Edit, on second look the colour is fine

Brah, her status is dating men 30 years younger than her. Their fashion sense is as far as she can go, let her be happy. If you take Pwallys interest in the underaged, havocs interest in the overweight, throw in some autism, remove self awareness, and give it female form-that is the recipe for the person you are replying to.

i agree. i went through a phase, when i was younger, where i would tend to overdress. I think i got a "WTF??" reaction from people sometimes. As i got older i learned how to still dress nice without being as flashy. OP you sound like you are in the earlier stages of your sense of fashion. I would give this advice:

Fit is what counts
Flashier is not always better
Do not ignore comfort
Do not listen to these guys that say "always be the best dressed" ; wearing a suit to the supermarket is just retarded.

Good advice. I usually just wear sperry and polo when I’m out. I’m looking to branch out

Good points. Fit is key. Beyond that, it’s important to consider the occasion. Traditional suits are overkill most of the time. Business casual is more flexible, but is still overkill in many situations. Your best bet is casual attire + 1 dressy piece (like a well-fitted sports coat). It can’t be overstated-fit is the most important thing to get right if you want your look to work.

Probably >$1000 jeans, $500+ hoodie and at least $300 shoes.

That first Brad Pitt photo, he'd have to try pretty hard to dress worse than that. From the neck down he looks like the kind of guy you'd find on the west side of Chicago looking to buy heroin.

Tom Brady looks good in everything because he's a tall athletic guy.
