Is that some kind of chain over your tshirt in the first pic?

When the shirt is buttoned open like in the 2nd pic it works better because it is 'supposed' to be a casual look. You kinda look like your gonna do some plumbing or some work around the house in the second pic, you look like you are good with your hands - which women think is sexy.

I think your shirt is a bit too big for you. It doesn't seem to be hanging well in the first picture at all...another reason why it looks better in the second picture.

The 3rd pic, I'm really not a fan of slogan t shirts. They can be good conversation starters I guess but I much prefer wearing something a bit more sophisticated. I really dont like collared shirts under roundnecks too...it just looks wrong!

I cant see what shoes your wearing in any of the pics

No offense Tripp, but you're seriously lacking in the style department.

It's probably the generation gap, with me being in my late teens. I dunno if it's the way you're standing or if its the clothes but you look like a tool in these pictures, which I'm hoping isn't the case since you usually know what you're talking about.

A bit too plain for my tastes as you can see from my pics. Tell you what. Hit up Express. THey have some great clothes you can peacock with, or find a store comparable clothing with cheaper prices. If you are going to sport T-shirts over the button down (much like i do), then you need to make sure they compliment each other. Stay away from solid on solid. You want to stand out in a GOOD way.

The chain is actually a cross necklace.

Yeah, I know my style doesn't quite match up in those pics with my inner game. lol.

And yes, it's true that my style in those pics can be improved. In fact, it has been improved. I just don't have any recent pics, lol.

Actually, my thread with my spongebob squarepants tuque/tobogan whatever you want to call it does show a little different style. A basically plain white shirt with the hat.

No, I haven't shown my shoes in any pics. They are grey sneakers with some black and red on them.

What thid does show, though, is that even if you are off on style, your inner game makes a huge difference.

Funny too, because some females thought the second pic was smoking.

I personally think the top pic is cheesy.

It's a pretty laid back look. I like that sometimes I go for more black but that is just me.

Exactly Wild One, my style is more laid back. My personality isn't necessarily always laid back, lol, but my style is, but in a weird way, the two mesh. I don't think there's any way that I could have an outward style that is flashy and really peacocky and make it fit my exterior.

So, my style is laid back, my pesonality is laid back to an extent, but also out there and not afraid of the attention either.

Dyou think the 3 pictures more closely represent you, or the picture in your avatar? Because they give off quite different impressions

haha you look way different then ur avatar i gotta agree.

Cool style though I love the collared shirt under the other shirt i rock that a lot myself.

Props

What is it about this that you like? I just dont think it looks good at all.

I like the way collared shirts look under other shirts its a cool style. And the jeans are pretty cool to. Ill post some pics of me rockin a similar shirt.

I think a button up shirt looks good under a plain v-neck jumper, but that's about it. Other than that, the whole styling just looks unbalanced. Collars are not designed to be poking out of round necks. The whole point of a collar is that it creates another angle of symmetry and creates a focal point around the upper chest area, which is quite masculine. This is why if you are wearing a shirt buttoned all the way to the top on its own, it generally looks out of place without a tie...the tie centralises the symmetry and concentrates the eye on the vertical axis. you can wear no tie with an unbuttoned shirt because the break in the vertical space is created when the collars move outwards. When the collars are just popping up out of nowhere, ie from a roundneck, there is no reference to the vertical axis to give reason for this extra mass of material around your neck.

On top of this, with short sleeve shirts, again the fluidity is imbalanced when the sleek t-shirt is interrupted by the furls of the shirt sleeve. The arms (like the legs) should be one mass of material...imagine wearing a pair of shorts over a pair of trousers...its almost the same thing imo.

Waist-jackets by comparison are another garment that are worn over button up shirts. But they look good because they dont create two sleeves...and they leave enough room around the upper chest area so there isn't such a weight of sameness and lack of symmetrical reference.

I've thought about that myself, and honestly, it depends. Tell me, honestly, what kind of impression the avatar gives.

In the avatar it looks like your kinda taciturn and callous, a bit dark but thoughtful as well. Then the pictures make you look light hearted and gentle.

You should look at my pics then. If done right, the T-shirts over collared shirts look very stylish.

Even though I still don't like the look, you are doing it quite differently to OP which doesn't make it look as bad. You have the necklace out which creates a focal point around the upper chest area, in the way that an open collar or tie would. You have also chosen shirts that colour match the t-shirts which is a wise choice. And the hat also brings focus upwards. As well you are using loud patterns which means the patterns themselves take some of the attention rather than how they are worn. But still, there's still something wrong about it...for me, you have gotten away with it in your pics - but I wouldn't be doing it for the sake of trying to get away with it.
