@hightea_xx , would you consider the denim kimono top without belt and worn open with looser joggers or cargos underneath? I thought the shorter length was very flattering on you
Hello guys, i'm very new to Dior and own only a belt, but would like to expand my collection since the quality and service seen to be perfect. What essentials could you recommend based on your expirience: what pieces are worth to invest in?
Extra question: what is your opinion on dior suits? Are they good choice for a special occasion (like a wedding)?
I’m not a guy, but my DH shops dior men; we bought our best friends wedding tux’s there; and, I love kim Jones.
i recommend trying suits on bc whether the fit suits you (no pun intended) will determine what works.
our top picks:
1. dior cashmere outerwear. This seems universally flattering. Only downside is its relatively classic, like the mens version of 30 Montaigne for women. Highly recommend the cashmere Peacoat, and I think dior will d9 an iteration every year. Note: DH is medium height and medium build; size 50, and peacoat makes him look super tall and slim.
runner up: (if you are more fashion) dior ski wear seems quite warm and durable (ive tried a white with gray pattern ski parka that is gorgeous and I’m so sad it’s only for men).
2. if you want to try suiting, I suggest picking up a sports coat on sale. The tuxedo jacket in navy jacquard (that my best friend picked for his wedding made it to sale. Otherwise, some of the more fashion pieces like Peter doig also made it to sale.
runner up: (classic fashion) I think the transluscent dior oblique black turtleneck is universally flattering (
@averagejoe has it and my best friends husband wore it under his wedding tuxedo)
streetwear fashion: the Peter Doig camo pattern cargo pants made it to sale, and if the tailor could cut them down, I would have bought them, so fabulous.
3. highly recommend a classic updated saddle by kim jones or a really cool leather book tote (but the latter is very heavy)
@Kuschelnudde has a pic with his book tote (I think his is fabric ?) and, I think, a mini shrunken briefcase shaped crossbody (I love it but it’s pricy);
@hightea_xx has a few pics with a really nice mini vertical crossbody, and I think, a smaller LD with studs (apologies if my recollection is faulty)
4. my dior SA says the mens dress shoes are not comfy, and I trust his opinion, but YMMV
final note: I picked up a plaid vest and matching hat on the womens side. (I’m medium framed for my height) If you are slim and strand the line between fashion and sartorial, I would take a hard look at both mens and womens
a nice piece to start might also be a t shirt (dior makes them in linen cotton blends which wear well)
Now I know where to start
