Very cool looks, I think both work great and youβ€˜d look great meetings friends. I think your watch looks fine in both.

If I were to improve one thing, the dark shoes draw a lot of visual attention, and, to me, don’t fit the rest of the look so well. Your birkenstocks would fit better imo.

Thanks. The blue sneakers do seem to fight for some spotlight, indeed. I may try the same looks with the different shoes.

Yeah, tbh don’t overthink it. Both looks are really solid already. It’s cool that you try things out and have fun with it, I dig your content ❀️

Thanks a lot. It's a fun process for me and a creative outlet. I used to overthink the details even more and the decided to change the approach.

Mind of I ask what jacket that is? I've been looking for a linen summer jacket for a while and can't decide.

It is an off-white denim chore jacket by Uniqlo. Not sure about where you could find a linen variant.

Most welcome. Good luck with your jacket hunt!

Looks great!

I also like the blue better. I wonder if the shoes have something to do with it. Maybe the cream colored outfit would look better with some light brown leather shoes.

I like the blue much better. I kinda hate wearing similar colored top and bottom in general though.

Thanks for sharing. I can see why as the blue shirt adds some contrast and a cooler tone to the look. On the other hand, the "honey" look also seems nice for me. 😊

I think this light color top combo works if you wear a darker pair of pants. The blue looks better if the pants stay the same color imo

Looking fresh and summery my man. I do enjoy seeing your posts.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Love the top half shoes and pants are ok

[–] aim4harmony@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Thank you. 😊

Could probably go down a size or two on... everything really. Swap out sneakers for loafers (brown). Change up the colours. I'd go a couple shades darker on the pants or stick with the blue instead.

Why the watch specifically?

[–] Master@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

Everything is fine except the left shoe. Take the left shoe off!

Hey, it's that outfit dude again!

I'm having fun these days, regularly discovering your outfit posts. I like that you're matching those 3 poses over and over now.

The watch is a good fit. IMHO.

I like the sand /earthen tones much better than the blue, but I feel that while yellow is a good match (I'd wear that same outfit without questioning), a little voice tells me there is an even better option. Not sure if that's true, but I'd totally mask the yellow shirt in a photo editor and play around with the hue sliders to figure out what color to pull out of the wardrobe.

Personally, I'd also color match the shoes differently and maybe go for a less sporty / less of a sneaker style, but that's just me.
