- Shoes that are not sneakers and that have laces tend to be boat shoes or pretty formal loafers. Both shoes are good to have, the former for wearing or for other casual clothes and the latter goes very well with business suits. The first shoe you should get though are brown, lace-less loafers because they work well with jeans and anything short of a suit.
- Tailoring is very underrated. It is popular, in some circles, to call wearing anything but tee shirts and baggy jeans, "dressing up" or "getting your grown man on." Unfortunately, buying button downed shirts does not guarantee being stylish and that is evident by all of the douche bags that you see at the club whose shirt lots two sizes too big. Even if you get a shirt that fits better than that, it is good to get it to a tailor because he or she will give your shirt a taper toward the waist and insure that sleeves are the right length and that your shirt goes from being good fit to a perfect fit. Also, it does not cost very much.
