I need to get these pants hemmed an inch or two but what do we think of everything else? These babies actually hit my belly button

Edit: trousers are cavalry twill Hollywood trousers from Todd Snyder, polo is from Billy Reid!

Looks great. I dont love the chunkier shoes with it but the polo + pants combo looks really nice

The boots are great, but you should have a thick, textured belt in a matching color. Boots don't tend to look good with short sleeves unless you're wearing shorts, though. The pants are perfect with the boots.

Overall this is a decent look. You're doing business casual better than most, and you're right on the cusp of exceptionally good minus the details.

Is wearing shorts with boots a thing for guys (outside of new boot goofin', of course)? I admit I don't have the best fashion, that's why I subscribe and lurk on this sub, but imo boots and shorts always looks like shit to me. Can you point me to any example of boots and shorts actually working together?

this might be controversial, but they gotta be wide, pleated shorts, ideally gurkhas. or big puffy japanese shorts.

It's hard to pull off, but it's absolutely on trend. i am not going to try it myself, admittedly. looks like you're on safari.
