Your girlfriend or wife isn’t asking you to wear a tuxedo to dinner with her friends. Your buddies may not care if your shirt has buttons on it, but show your better half that you love and respect her: Make her proud to be hanging on your arm in front of the people she cares about most.

Again good job Andrew!
Andrew
Thanks Wyatt!
John
Do you have your ON shirts tailored? It might just be my build but they always seem so much boxier on me.
Andrew
I have been lately. The smalls sometimes fit perfectly but they’ll shrink a tad, and the mediums are too big. Nice thing is a $17 shirt plus $15 tailoring = perfect fitting affordable shirt! 🙂
Mike Wargo
I like the style analysis aspect. I’d like to see that in these getups more often
Andrew
Cool! I’ll definitely include more in the future.
Adams Tegeler
Agree, Mike. This is a nice addition.
Ray Ballance
I like it!
Paden
Hey Andrew,
I noticed the belt is a different shade than the boots. Should we still follow the old adage about matching the two or is ok to choose a different option as long as the shades or colors compliment?
Andrew
Hey Paden! That adage is intended to mean brown with brown, black with black, not specifically the same shades. I rarely match my belt and shoes with the exact same color both because it can be visually annunciating in a bad way and because I don’t want to buy a belt for every shade of brown I have. 🙂 However, when I do, its for the intentional effect of drawing attention to the belt and shoes. I do this most commonly with tan leathers, to brighten an otherwise dark look. (With a lot of navys for example)
Thanks for the question!
Manny Narkrong
Really digging the new style analysis. Great addition to the already-excellent Live Action Getup posts.
Andrew
Thanks! Happy you like it!!
Dennis
I really like the way you’re explaining why you picked what item. After all one can not always get your excellent outfits. Just thought I’d let you know that. 🙂
Andrew
Awesome! Glad you liked it. It was something that popped up for this one so it’s great to hear it helps.
Michael Barbee
Love this getup
Smokey
You had this same sweater on a previous Getup, and I bought it because of it. It is an awesome sweater and goes great with a Henley and Dark jeans. Gotten tons of compliments and the wife loves it.
Runs a bit small though jus FYI.
Andrew
Glad you like it! Pairing it with a henley is a sharp idea!
Daniel
I’m actually about to put that same watch on Ebay. I find it to be a bit large for my wrist. Letting it go with a couple of NATO straps too. Heads up if anyone’s looking.
Another great Getup Andrew.
Bernardo
I also think it’s a tad too big for my wrist, that’s why I have the
Seiko SKX013. A bit smaller but basically the same watch.
Daniel
Do you find it to be a bit tall, even with the smaller diameter?
Bernardo
It is as tall as the skx007. A bit tall for it’s diameter but nothing that bothered me.
Daniel
Tends to drive me nuts how it gets hung up on everything, and doesn’t fit underneath a shirt cuff, etc.
Bernardo
I know what you mean but what helps is to use the watch a little bit tighter on your wrist so it doesn’t wobble too much.
Daniel

Amazing outfit
Jared
Wearing that exact mock-neck from Old Navy today, easy to dress up or down, good stuff!
Robert Wallace
SKX007 is pure gold, I have one from 2001, upgraded it with a sapphire crystal and it runs like a dream! They’re always on watchuseek, usually modded with different hands or crystals.

Love that heathered sweater – moc neck is always so flattering.
Daniel
Andrew, did you go with the small or medium for the ON sweater?
Claude Whitfield
More style analysis please. Really ties the whole article together
Andrew
Thanks Claude, glad you like it!
Saul Prado
Ah man, the sweater is all sold out. Any alternatives?
Daniel

great tips and looks, just a tad bit harder for the “bigger” gentleman to find in their size.
