That BoO navy peacoat looks great. Too bad I won't be able to afford.

For good quality, VERY moderately priced slim fit dress shirts check out www.tmlewin.co.uk. I stumbled upon the store when I was in London and been ordering atleast 3-4 times every season. There's always a coupon code, and shipping is real quick and reasonable. Go for the Windsor Slim Fit to show off your bestknots/ties. The shirt really makes any outfit look cleaner because of the cut of the body and collar.

Love the styles. Price is nice/decent. Only thing wrong is that I can't try it on. Sucks.

Also keep in mind, right now there isn't much of a selection since they're closing out for this season. Sign up for their mailing list you'll getnotified when they put new stuff up. I'd just get 1 to try it out. They're pretty much true to size though.

It's blake rapid construction. The Peal & Co. by BB are made by Grenson I believe and the rubber soles are most likely dainite, verydurable rubber. The PS boot probably has dainite soles as well, at it looks like it does.
As for the shoe trees, I just get the cheap one from Nordstrom Rack. It goes on almost all or any of my shoes that needs shoe trees, including boots.
They are usually on sale at Nordstrom Rack for around $10-$12.

The style looks good but I am not sure about quality. If we are recommending UK websites though, I would put http://www.jumpthegun.co.uk/ on the list. Average is usually $75 a shirt shipped from UK but quality is supposed to be reallgood and it fits real slim. Their chinos/pants are supposed to be real slim as well. Well worth the look as well. Good thread about it at SF: http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=91506&highlight=jumpthegun

Get the khaki colored cardigan and if you haven't gotten a khaki yet, look for a navy colored chino instead to offset the light color cardigan.
It could still work with a white shirt and navy tie.

The shirts are pretty nice, i got a couple as this shop is local for me. I 'm not sure about them being slim fitting though. Mine have got alot of extra width compared to dress shirts i'd get from h&m for example.

Cliff notes: It's not a very slim fitting, but getting a smaller size helped.
Quick fit pic of that BB cardigan before class (pardon the macbook cam and poor lighting):
The shirt under is a size 4 Lacoste, if that helps as a scale to measure it. The sleeve length is decent, the overall width is decent, but the arms aren'tas slim as cardigan from other brands--even Blue Label RL. If I quit being lazy and started working out again, it probably wouldn't be an issue, though.

for those with questions about color coordination, this is your coordination bible:
Some Guiding Principles to Harmonizing Colors:
Core Color is the dominant color in a color scheme. It's the color of the principal item in your ensemble like your suit or a sweater.
Accent colors are the second and sometimes third colors used in a color scheme. The accent colors may be complementary, triad, analogous or neutral.
Triad. The first or primary triad colors in the color wheel (or spectrum) are red, blue and yellow. (Navy suit, pale yellow shirt, burgundy tie) These arecalled pure colors because mixing them with each other and/or with white or black can make all other colors.
The second (or secondary) triad colors in the color wheel are orange, green and purple. Made by mixing two primary colors together. Mixing red and yellow makeorange, yellow and blue make green, and combining red and blue produce purple.
Complementary colors:
are those directly opposite one other in the color spectrum or wheel. That's why hunter green pants look great with a burgundy sweater. Blue is opposite oforange so gold, rust, and brown compliment shades of blue.
Analogous colors:
Colors, which are next to each other on the color wheel, go well together, such as blue pants, a blue-green shirt and a green jacket.
Warm and Cool:
Families of analogous colors include warm colors (red, orange, yellow) and cool colors (green, blue, violet). Designers often build color schemes around two orthree related colors.
Select two warm colors with one cool or two cool with one warm to create dynamic harmony. Examples: navy suit, light blue shirt and red tie, or a yellow shirt,rust jacket and blue jeans.
Monochromatic: all one color, but different shades, tones or tints.
Neutral: dress in shades of white, black, gray or beige. Khaki pants, white shirt and a gray sweater are all neutrals. It may not be a dynamic look, but it issophisticated.
Seasonal Colors: Some colors are more appropriate at certain times of year than others. Pastels are usually associated with spring/summer, while autumn colorsare rust, brown, green, and burgundy. Wearing rust in the summer, or light yellow in the fall looks out of place.
Think contrast. Try one light element with two dark, or one dark with two lights, such as a charcoal suit, white shirt and red tie, or tan suit with yellowshirt and green tie. Or Khaki pants and a dark blue shirt.
Color Value: Dark colors recede thus making you look thinner, and light colors project, which tends to bulk you up. Dark colors are more formal than light.

Dang, Nii came through with the essay.
Honestly though, I personally don't follow much of the rules. There's times in the dead winter whereI'll wear a light yellow sweater because I feel like it, to brighten up a day in a gloomy weather.
If I like how an outfit looks in the mirror, I'll go ahead and wear it.

^ Exactly. I think that's the line between looking like a well-dressed man and a person who could be casted on %*$@% Eye. A well-dressed man just looksgood in a "by chance" sort of way. The potential QE cast looks overdone and tries really hard. When teetering on the bend of metrosexuality, I thinkmore men should take heed to it--that, and some people just look like they don't know what they're doing and just look really uncomfortable.
