Dressing better

[slicknick951]

im looking for some new shoes and im having trouble finding a style i like.

I need a new pair for work and a pair to wear a out like to dinner or if i go see a show. any one have a pair they like any input would help

 

[rfx45]

Get something like this in both black and brown.

 

[slicknick951]

i like those to me they look like they can be worn both to work and out

Can anyone here relate to this "problem"?

I'm a slim guy with proportionally big thighs and calves, but my ankles are BEYOND skinny. I'm forced to wear jeans that taper down to the leg opening found on skinny jeans, but this ends up hugging the curve shape of my calves way too much and takes away from the straight leg look. If I wear jeans with bigger leg openings, they look fine until you see the area below my calves

They look especially bad when I wear slim shoes...I'll take a picture later if this is too confusing of a description

Is there anyway I can get a tailor to taper my pants/jeans only from below my calf instead of from the knee? Or would this end up looking goofy/sloppy?

On a perfect day, $250 is probably the lowest. ~$300-$350 is a decent price especially since it is such a versatile pair. However, brown sneakers doesn't work like brown dress shoes where it works with almost any color that isn't black. It can be pulled off, you just need to be more careful. If you can the black pair with black patent toe, it can probably be worn with everything, including khakis. This is probably one of the pairs of sneakers I feel like a sneakerhead again to a point that I want to buy another pair to stock for later.

 

Man this is the exact pair I was referencing. so versatile. if you ever see a pair in my size for an awesome price lmk. I wear an 8.5 in nike and 41 in MMM and CP. What is the equivalent size in lanvin?

Definitely a great blog! I've met Dan personally at my fitting at Michael Andrews Bespoke a couple of weeks ago, he definitely was great and very helpful in the consultation process. Heck if it wasn't for thestyleblogger.com and Dan I would have never found out about Michael Andrews Bespoke.

There have been several replies. But way under ur stated range. Levis has it for 19.99 at sams club.

So I just found out my NYE plans are a little fancier than I originally thought, so I'm in a rush to put something together (I'll be away from tomorrow to 12/30)

I didn't have much time to shop around but I found a decent looking black blazer ... main problem is I couldn't find my exact size and don't really have time for tailor (normally I'm a 42L, the blazer is a 44R)

I know this isn't the ideal GQ slim fit, but does this look passable?  Any feedback/insight is appreciated Thanks

 I couldn't do it. Being black doesn't help either. I hate black shoes.
I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on these after Xmas. They'll be 25% off. Still going to be $450 though. 

 

[cj863]

Good looking out for the help everyone

gonna stop through H&M and check up on it.

Just check out www.1saleaday.com or www.chronoshark.com or www.dynamitetime.com.  They are daily deal sites, and that watch shows up very frequently, so as long as you have some patience, you can get it or one similar from $40-$70.
