It fits ok. I have a boxy, square torso so most OTR shirts can fit me better than most.

Brooks Brothers Black Fleece is not sold in SG however, only America has it @ physical retail. I got mine while on vacation.

Just curious anyone tried Marcella on custom shirts and how is their quality?

I love the material and designs from Style Works which you can find in CK Tangs and it is from Japan, their latest shirt will cost around $135.

Below are two examples of the shirt from Style Works :

Like to hear some comments and feedback.

Both shirts are very tacky. And I don't think they should be worn to the office at all.

Oh, you mean they are too causal. Is it plain colours are still the best?

 

[dj_flame]

Agreed on the tacky comment.

Contrast stitching on buttonholes, different patterns for collars, double colors all quite "beng".

The 2nd shirt maybe a bit beng so I did not buy that and I go for the 1st shirt, simple and nice.

 

[studmufn]

the 1st one is even more tacky if you ask me..

Since you've already bought the first shirt, it would be least wasteful if you use it casually.

In brutal honesty, little design elements here and there can add up to make a shirt look very noisy and unprofessional.

I believe these designs have been adopted from J, K and taiwanese pop culture. While it may look flashy and attention grabbing on stage or in a music video, it would not be as welcoming a sight if you were to wear them through out the whole day.

We are fortunate to be men in the sense that we really don't need to spend much time to dress adequately or choose our clothes.

Start simple and basic, you can refer to the first 3 shirts on this article for some direction: The Top 10 Dress Shirts To Own

Safest is white, or you can try pastel pink, blue or yellow and you can pair it with a brown pair of leather shoes

Does grey pants match with black shoe? Feel like wearing the grey pants but find it hard to match!

From my experience, that combo will look horrible. You prob need brown or burgundy shoes.

 

[legolaslee]

so for a grey pants, its safest to wear a white top and brown belt and shoe?

any other options for a grey pants with what colour top? is it mostly are light colour tops like light pink light blue?

 

[Alpha04]

i guess depending on which shade of grey. The darker shades of grey should be able to match well with black pant.
For lighter shade, depend on whether you can carry it.

Your colour combo sounds fine.

I don't think shirt colour matters that much as long as it is a light shade...

Usually dark brown belt is versatile enough to go with anything.

The real problem is pants-socks-shoes combo. If you Google this, you will literally find advice from style gods. Which obviously means sg guys and HWZ are on the other end of the spectrum.

Where got problem

Either match pants with socks or don't match at all ie contrast daringly. Don't do the in between, like you can't decide to match or contrast look.
