Thinner cardigans and vnecks are gonna be more smart-casual additions to your wardrobe. Colours like navy, grey and dark grey are gonna be your best bets year-round.

  Accessories**
  
  
• Watches - Timex Weekender and the Seiko 5. You can switch out watch straps, depending on the outfit and season.
  
  
• Belts - You should probably have one or two belts, one black and one brown. Both leather, but canvas belts can work in more casual fits. You can even make your own!
  
  
• Hats – As teenagers, it’s much easier to get away with hats, just stick with caps. I’d go with fitted or snapbacks for sports teams, but if you have a more streetwear style, then hats are almost a necessity. Beanies can also work well if the weather allows it.
  
  
• Backpacks - Can't go wrong with a Jansport backpack. I also highly recommend Herschel and Everlane backpacks, too.

The color you get shouldn't be based solely on what you like; the best thing to do is match your shoes with the majority of your wardrobe. For example, if you wear a lot of blue denim in the fall and the beginning of spring, then black leather might not be the best color/material for you. Also keep in mind that your shoes should match your belt. If you do wear denim (which, lets be honest, most teenagers do) then a lighter color would look better (it would give you good contrast). I would recommend CDB's in the 'Dark Brown' Color (which look more tan). But, like someone said before, CDB's aren't really winter shoes. I have friends who, in high school, regretted wearing CDB's because they were freezing their toes off. Get a pair of something like these or these combined with some good woolen socks like these and your feet will stay warm and dry.

I'm constantly trying to keep my fits on point, even when I sleep. Hope it's up to par:

Got the shirt at a Gavin DeGraw concert. I never understood why my dad let me get an XL, but it's really comfortable combed cotton.

Pants r dockers and they got a sweet houndstooth detail that makes em that much more panty dropping worthy

Socks r Punto cashmere socks. Do yourself a favor boys and invest in a solid pair of cashmere socks. Well worth the money if ur girlfriend doesn't steal em.

Slippers r L.B. Evans Mens Loafers

My colors don't coordinate, sue me.

I'm new to TeenMFA but I've been lurking MFA for awhile, first off, lose the vest. I'm a strong believer that vests can look good, but alas, I don't think it does here. And I also think a [tie](http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nMC8cMI-iWc/T6iT19OQMsI/AAAAAAAABUU/QqNUAzJt1y8/s1600/taylor-lautner-fitted-shirts-twilight05+(1) without a jacket can look good, but you have to be confident and the fit must be impeccable. I don't want anyone ending up like Milton

The shirt fit looks decent as I can't really tell with the vest, and I would lose the undershirt or pick up some v-neck undershirts.

Can't get a good read on the black jeans, they look a little green too? might be lighting. The shirt and pants are a little too monochrome for me. Maybe lighter shirts? or blue jeans?

Black converse are alright. I don't think the black jeans and black Cons would look good IMO.

You seem to have a decent idea of fit though which is key.

Stop taking in sugar and drink more water, actually ditch everything besides milk and some juices for water. Gaining weight can burn a hole in your wallet depending what you get. Eating more vegetables and fruit help a lot. That's just me i gone the healthy way of eating since august 27 and have gain like 15 pounds. I'm going to start taking in http://www.amazon.com/Optimum-Nutrition-Serious-Chocolate-Pound/dp/B000GIPJ0M/ref=zg_bs_6973717011_2 and the 100% whey gold option to get bigger tho the serious mass only is going to last me 2-3-4 weeks and its around 45$ and is highly recommended for slim to skinny people trying to gain weight.

Here you go

They're awesome boots, highly recommend. If you haven't done it before, there's a way to sign up for Amazon shoe thingy and get like 15% off your first purchase. I'm sure someone else knows more about this.

Bass buckinghams? They have black but I'd go with Navy or brown since they're much more versatile.

CDBs/Bushacres are okay too, like the guy below said, it's debate. Nobody's going to really care.

This lens and a litany of filters, I'm really excited.

The texture on these should be awesome in person

Things that I would personally do differently: not that shirt with those jeans. Black jeans/khaki's and we'll talk. Pockets are too big. Lose the pocket watch, get a simple watch instead. Shoes look clown-sized, ditch that, I'd go for slimmer shoes (Puma style), or desert boots. And for the love of god, unless you're going to a glow party or something, don't match your laces to your shirt: do you want people to look up to your face, or at your feet?

-wear them with any kind of long pants. Good chukkas fit everything from biz caz to caz caz.

-I'll break down some options:

cheap tier: sigh Clark's Desert Boots in Beeswax, $120

mid tier: Cole Haan Winter Colton Chukka Boot, $228

expensive tier: Red Wing Heritage Men's Beckman Chukka, $320

theoretically yeah, but it'd be v. hard to control and get even

i think a better method might be using some kinda pre dye that's specifically made to lighten stuff

I have [this 511 tactical knockoff bag] (http://www.amazon.com/Fieldline-TPB007-FLT-DG05-P-Tactical-Patrol-Backpack/dp/B00XRF1PEU/ref=pd_sim_sbs_468_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41s%2BtYsxp%2BL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR126%2C160_&refRID=1NB27GYG6CPY67CSHB80") in "coyote camo" , although I wish I got black instead. I also had to replace the main zipper and reinforce the bottom since i'm rough with my backpacks and it was cheap. I got it for $15 though and don't have anything else so it's doing just fine.

I think he could use some Clarks Desert Boots here is a purchase Link Beeswax is the most versatile color. youre welcome

Navy Vans Eras. I replaced the laces a while back with just generic boot ones because I liked the look.

the shirt is too casual for a banquet. try getting an ocbd to keep it a bit casual, but still formal enough.

the pants you have aren't even chino. they're styled in a 5 pocket design and from the looks of it, looks like jean material.

these are cheap but still suitable for a banquet. even if you don't have a banquet, you can still wear these. versatile.

also no bowties unless this is an extremely formal event.

Chuck Taylors - high vs low in white? My friend says I need to get high but I really want the lows. Also, opinions on these in grey?

these adidas sambas does it matter if i don't play soccer?

Clark Wallabees?

Incidentally, does anyone have them in Cola Suede? Can't find any good pictures of them. Only ever find the Sand/Taupe, Black Leather or Beeswax ones.

A couple days ago my parents had a couple over for dinner. I was at a friends house earlier, so when I got home for dinner the man (who is a doctor) was like holy s*** its worse than your parents described. What creams are you using again? lol so yeah after multiple prescription creams and antibiotics I'm on Accutane. Fucking terrified since suicide is a side effect.

Also I'm about to pull the trigger on this watch: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004VR9GCQ/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p241_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0HCDJT5HM7PHY02QKS05&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1688200382&pf_rd_i=507846
