Let's have a fashion advice thread.

Yeah I'm gonna veto cardigans on dudes. Maybe it is because I prefer things with more structure and weight, like jackets and even hoodies, but I would not even recommend cardigans for most girls, unless they were also dressed in one of these and these and these and could pull off this.
Barmymoo:
Guys who wear cardigans just look like they really wanted to wear a t-shirt saying "Touch me, I'm sensitive". Certainly the guys I know who wear cardigans will make a point of being very effeminate and it's really affected and sickening. The thing is, no guy buys cardigans because they're often cold and require an extra layer. There's this big fashion model thing about them, there always seem to be catwalk photos of guys in cardigans with big cheekbone hollows and floppy hair, but no one really looks like that. Or wants to. Don't wear cardigans, guys.
Question: I have a new high-waisted, knee-length skirt, for interviews, jobs and that kind of thing, in a sort of dark olive shade (a bit like a WRN uniform if you're familiar with 1930s British army clothing) and a matching jacket. The problem is, the jacket is horrific. It has tails, and the bottom part sticks out like wings, and the shoulders are too padded, and I look like a kid dressing up. The skirt is fantastic, I don't want to have to discard the whole thing, but what on earth goes with olive? I have no jackets which I can see fitting. Any suggestions?
fatty:
I don't know that many jackets really suit high waisted skirts. I would try layering two blouses/camisoles instead. Darker greys and washed-out browns on a pale cream highlight would be your best bet.

Well, I guess the glasses and the beard are here to stay (which is a good thing for the glasses, since I don't really have a choice) thanks everyone!
Jace:
As an aside to beards, I can't grow one yet, but I've still got time. My roommate, who is Philipino, can grow a pretty full beard, a neckbeard, and a goatee pretty well. His latest style was working towards a Fu Man Chu until his work (as a Kung Fu instructor of all things) made him shave. I have to say, if I could pull off a Fu Man Chu, I would in a minute, just to have had it.
