I just received an order for a few shirts from LL Bean. Right now, any brand's Large is just a tad tight on me but I'm trying to lose weight and expect to squeeze in soon. These shirts are HUGE.

I double checked their website's fit guide. By all accounts, it's suggesting I'm a large (5'6" 43 chest). The long sleeve shirt is one size too big, the short sleeves are at least two sizes, if not three, too big. The sweat shirt is a bit large but wearable.

My plan at this point is to take the nearly two hour drive (with traffic) to my nearest store to try the shirts on in person. Just wondering if I got a weird batch or if I'm a size small in LL Bean.

Or, should I be expecting these to shrink a lot in the wash?

UPDATE: So, I drove the store and confirmed my suspicions with the associate. “Traditional Fit” is two sizes bigger, “Slim Fit” is one size bigger, and “Signature” is about right, he said.
I didn’t like the signature sizing at all; it was oddly a little smocky and ballooned out at the bottom. And while the small traditional fit fit my width okay, I think it’s a little short, and I’m just 5’6”.

Have to get dress shoes, found some that seem decent, what is the consensus on them?

I've had some Clark's in the past, but never for dress shoes.

i am in shambles - I bought two Weatherproof Vintage short sleeve men's linen button down shirts last month from Costco, they were like $15 each, thinking little of it, oh these are probably going to be ok, normal big box store shirts.

but I've worn them, and slowly realized: these are the best shirts I've ever worn. they're comfortable, they fit perfectly, they feel absolutely perfect, the linen is perfectly breathable and feels perfect on my skin, they look very summery and nice, I've never enjoyed a shirt more than these shirts.

So I want more than the pink and blue that I bought, because that's only 2 days of the week. I go to the official website and the shirts start at $60. I am wrecked. I should've bought 15 of them at the store.

Costco themselves have a few left online, but only in obscure sizes and ugly colors. I am in shambles.

Prelims Few events combine pop culture and sports fandom quite like Taylor Swift's relationship to the Kansas City Chiefs, sparking an intriguing fashion trend: Taylor Swift Chiefs jackets. This article investigates its roots, significance, and cultural impact of this cultural crossover phenomenon.

The Taylor Swift Chiefs jacket trend can be traced back to reports of her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and subsequent media attention that ensued, sparking interest both among Swift fans as well as Chiefs fans alike.

Boasting its vibrant red and gold colors as well as its iconic logo, these jackets encapsulate both Swift's spirit and that of Kansas City team while simultaneously showing their support. Wearing it allows fans to show both admiration for Swift as well as pledge their allegiance for both.

Taylor Swift has made her mark beyond music into fashion as well, inspiring fans and retailers alike with a demand for Chiefs-themed clothing that matches Swift's signature look - particularly jackets bearing Chiefs logos as she wears them herself. Retailers have seen an upsurge in demand for Chiefs clothing worn by Swift herself; retailers report an increase in orders of Chiefs jackets similar to her own worn on-stage by fans eager to emulate her style by customizing jackets with lyrics or symbols related to Swift in addition to Chiefs logos or badges bearing Swift-related patches or lyrics or symbols so as fans can mimic Swift herself in style!

Cultural Significance The Taylor Swift Chiefs jacket trend exemplifies the power of celebrity endorsements and the intertwining relationship between music and sports fandom. Swift's appeal bridges different fan communities while creating new connections among them; furthermore, fashion serves as a vehicle to express solidarity among diverse fan bases.

It's spring here in Europe, but we're international... right? I use the reverse drape cross a lot, though I've used the chest warmer while wearing a suit a couple of times, this past winter.

Hi everyone. Need your advise please. Can I wear this loafer with chino shorts?

I got a poncho for indoor. It was so confy I wear it to the cinema but I felt like everyone was staring at me.

Thoughts? My mother said I look like I smoke weed all day when she saw me and my gf said I look like some eco hippy bum.

I dont know. Those are two opinions but I wanted to know what you all think.

Edit: i know my jeans are dirty. I just finished mudding a small wall and thought I can do that without making a mess lol

I an lost with what to wear to my wedding. It is a summertime lakehouse venue and I am thinking 100 different things.

Half of me wants to stand out that bit extra and get a dinner jacket/tux. Or else a three piece mismatched set, like matching waistcoat and pants with a different colour jacket.

The other half wants simplicity with a two piece and suspenders.

I like three pieces because they keep you looking together throughout a long day and night.

I am mostly against check patterns and am leaning toward greens like sage or emerald with cream but open to options. Happy with earth tones or natural colours.
