Any loafer would work. Go to a few stores and try on several pairs and go with the one that fits you the best. I'm probably one of the few here, but I actually really like the square toe box loafers since I have wide feet.

That too. It all depends on your foot. I like with more of a round toe.

Thanks RFX, but yea, AMs have more of a wider shape to them. I went more with comfortabilty/sporty look I guess.

Rest of fit

I wouldn't recommend loafers as a good shoe for suits, it's just too casual. Go with a traditional oxford lace-ups, or bluchers. I also likechukka's or chelseas, it's a good and different look. In brown of course.
Something like these:







Sorry for all the pics.

ESCO, those AM's make more sense now. I wouldn't really wear it but it does work with the shirt, if it is like comign back from a practice or game.
And which Levis are those? 511's?

Levis Red Line.

Uniqlo jacket

 

[rfx45]

I never considered the Levi's Red Line. I guess they are slimmer than the 514's but not as slim/skinny as 511's.
I have to check it out.

Catch the good sales @ macys and get them Tailored , When I was working I used to go in @ macys buying all there 40-60$ classic and regent fit Dress Shirts and would take them to my local tailor and get them taken in on the sides ... usually cost me about 15$ a shirt , so 55$ - 75$ in total

, I cant wait to get back into the job market ...

Edit : Congrats !!!

Yea thanks gents....I'm in Canada so we don't have a Macy's....but maybeI'll take a trip down to Buffalo and see what I can get...I really hate how normal collars look now....looks like an empty void just waiting to befilled....I'm not big on Brand names right now, I'm just trying to get Quantity with "medium" quality...Banana Repub, Gap, TristanAmerica...even express...but I guess they haven't jumped on as of yet...

 

[rsdplaya]

ugh, those PF Flyers were picked over. Couldn't find a black pair in my size.

 

[rfx45]

A good guide to measuring shirts.

 

[rfx45]

A weird and unorthodow way of measuring I guess...

 

[703 hwy]

Those were just examples and stuff to show off the different sizes right? (Pics posted a few pages back)
Because they weren't well coordinated and lose the designer shoes
Not hate though, just advice

 

[rfx45]

Which pics are you talking about 703?
Esco's clothes?

Loving this, pants should be a slimmer fit but that's IMO.

Just a question with jeans, what good levis are there that are slim fit but not not hugging fit? Also, If i were to buy some Nudies or APC straight leg, wouldit be best to get them tapered? And can someone explain to me what Hem is exactly?

I like Levi 514, the slim straight fit. I have big thighs so there's no way I can wear the 510 or 511. Regardless of the brand, it dependson the style if it needs to be tapered or not. If it's say, boot cut, with wide leg openings and you don't like that and want a more fitted opening sothe jeans don't cover most of your shoes, yes tapering is the way to go. Getting hemmed means to adjust the length. A lot of expensive jeans out therecome in one standard inseam, around 34''. If you're under 6', it's going to look sloppy on you because the jeans will simply be too long. Getting it hemmed will make the inseam shorter, giving it a more cleaner look.

I'm trying to figure out why my Nudies are so tight in the crotch area.. I sized down on the waist which is tight but bearable, but my junk feel like itsin a death grip, but the legs aren't tight at all for the most part.

You don't need many pairs for this type of style. I have 3 pairs of shoes I can wear on the regular, and 2 pairs of dressier shoes for rare occasions. I also love these shoes, couldn't believe how well they looked with jeans when I tried them on. With that said, I also bought.

Props for posting these, I got them at banana republic reduced from 98 to 68 dollars

 

[DVMNXK]

Wore this the other night before dinner...got a lot of compliments in Italian. I'm not sure if I can make the jump to grown man shoes just yet.

 

[chicagos finest 23]
