Were you taking snaps top floor of a bus GB?Okay, I need help.
Not a slim chap, so a lot of 'fashion' isn't very workable for me.
My standard attire is what I would call 'smart-working-country'.
Tan dealer boots, blue Wrangler jeans (because Texas just fit me), Hoggs check shirt and a body warmer, usually a Deerhunter but I have an Ariat one as well.
If I am going somewhere smarter I wear brogues and chinos and a tweed jacket & shirt.
So far so good.
Summer if chaos. Basically cargo shorts and trainers and a polo shirt. I dress quite well for 9 months of the year and then the sun comes out and I look like Jack (the Robin Williams character).
Any suggestions that are still practical but sartorially more elegant than my default.

How old are you, and where / what are you dressing for? Not a slim chap, so a lot of 'fashion' isn't very workable for me.

Something that might go over well on a farm will look daft in a city bar (and vice versa!), for example…

Were you taking snaps top floor of a bus GB?Nope and I don’t feel the need to impress anyone.
I was lucky by learning the importance lesson of not judging a book by a cover in my 20’s (mistook foreign royalty). Even today the wealthiest people I deal with dress very modestly.
People deal with me because of what I can do and who I know, not because of how I dress. And that’s how it should be IMO.

Not trying to 'dress up' in all meanings of the word. Just trying to be smart and comfortable. I was lucky by learning the importance lesson of not judging a book by a cover in my 20’s (mistook foreign royalty). Even today the wealthiest people I deal with dress very modestly.

I’m a long way from a fashion icon, but if I were you I’d just swap the cargo shorts for chino shorts or some linen trousers. Polos or a t shirt on top, and you’re all set I’d have thought?
Probably right, I shall go & look. Super comfy, I do dislike the buckle though.
Loro Piana make some really nice subtle trainers.
