Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

Meanwhile, me: black, black, black, black. I only own one pair of "nice" (read: class divide) shoes and one suit - specifically for weddings and funerals.

Charts like this are almost never useful, let alone fact-based

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Most of these clothes-related ones are stolen from /r/malefashionadvice

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Oh they are very fact-based. It is, indeed, physically possible to mix all the mentioned colours with each other.

I really don't give a shit. I just be wearing whatever

I like how navy blue suits everything and classic black almost nothing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Yeah... This feels like trolling by whoever created it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Is that what this is saying? This seems even more confusing to me, they have both blue and navy and two different shades so I'm assuming they mean different blues. And even more confusing navy shoes go with a brown suit, but brown shoes don't go with navy?!

I thought khaki looked different, but wiki says it's because

In British English and some other Commonwealth usage, khaki may also refer to a shade of green known as olive drab

Brown shoes with navy trousers has been on trend for 15 years now. It's become the default choice for business. Uniformed services will still require black. And a blue shoe with black trousers? WTF?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Exactly.

I'd probably also avoid the suggested tan shoes and pants combo.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I think I would skip this chart all together. Apparently pants shoes colors are not transitive.

I really miss mfa and guides like this one. They made it easy to look like everyone else and gave a reason to look doen on people without a dimple in their tie or oddly coloured socks.

I stopped caring and just wear ehat I like. I look great.

I used to worry about my work attire a lot, but then got a job where we all wear uniforms and it's honestly great. Makes getting ready in the morning so much easier. I also goty work shirts for free from the company, so I only had to get khakis and better work shoes (the ones I had weren't suitable for the new job). We all wear fun socks, but it's more of a bonding thing when we show each other the wacky designs lmao.

10/10 would recommend uniforms for work. Completely eliminates any drama associated with clothing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I fucking hate uniforms and hope I never have to go back to it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

I hated the uniforms at first, but then my mom was talking about all of the dress code drama at her workplace (my previous employer) and I realized that I didn't, and still don't, miss that shit

Hey look a guide on how to look like a cishet white man

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's really simple and you dont need a chart: The shoe should be darker than the pants.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This chart proves you wrong

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

This chart doesn't prove anything.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Does this apply to crocs and dyed jorts?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Those pair well with meth.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Crocs go with any color, ofc.
