Yup - almost all bucks (white/dirty) and most saddles have the brick red soles. And +1 on the re-soleing them. Goodyear welts FTW

Rachel Comey.
Their infamous for their real think sole but I heard quality isn't the best.
It's one of those shoes that you definitely buy for the look alone, I mean it won't fall apart after one wear but quality isn't on par with theprice.

GQ's "Know Your Shirt"
Can't tell the difference between royal oxford and broadcloth? GQ's ultimate dress-shirt guide, from collar to cuff
The fabrics
Cotton is a fiber. How it's woven determines the type of fabric.
From left to right:
Oxford cloth: Named after the university. Hardy, affordable, and will last forever. (Izod, $39)
Royal oxford: Dressier than its namesake and made of a finer weave. Not for schoolboys. (Boss Black, $125)
End-on-end: Woven with a white thread and, in the opposite direction, a colored thread, to produce that pinpoint look. (J.Crew, $60)
Broadcloth: Lightweight and professional. What you wear with your suit and tie when you get a real job. (Dunhill, $130)
Chevron: The herringbone pattern, in any two colors, gives you an elegant look. For the dandy. (Tommy Hilfiger Crest Collection, $70)
The patterns
The days of a monochromatic shirt-and-tie combo have passed. Time to add some punch to your look.
The collars
Not all ties go with all collars. Know how to pair them.
1. Button-down
Very American. Geared more toward gray flannel or a blue blazer than an elegant European-cut suit. Best with medium-width ties.
Shirt, $36, by Arrow. Tie, $95, by Jack Spade.
2. Spread
The most dashing, confident collar out there. Best with a medium-to-wide tie. And go for a traditional four-in-hand knot; it's okay for a bit of the tie toshow around the collar.
Shirt, $145, Polo by Ralph Lauren. Tie, $125, by Dunhill.
3. Long point
The collar's narrow stance means it tucks nicely into high-cut three-button suits. Good for narrow-to-skinny ties.
Shirt, $40, by Claiborne. Tie, $40, by Original Penguin.
4. Semi-spread
Flattering and forgiving-the Everyman collar. Works great with medium-to-skinny ties.
Shirt, $60, by Nautica. Tie, $85, by Gant.
The cuffs
Make sure they fit correctly. And have your suit sleeves tailored so they show a bit of cuff.
Clockwise, from top left:
Convertible: The adjustable buttons allow for narrow or wider cuffs, giving you room for an oversize watch. (Geoffrey Beene, $40)
French: The dressiest of the bunch. But you don't have to wear business cuff links and a power tie with them. Try an open collar and more creative links.(Charles Tyrwhitt, $99)
Two-button barrel: For the guy who wants a shirt with as much flair as his British or Italian-made suit. (Gucci, $295).
Single-button standard: When fitting properly, they should reach the hinge of your wrist. (Ermenegildo Zegna, $295)

I can't believe you're getting clothing advice from a tennis shoe website, but whatever...lol. I am not a fan of rockin what everyone else is wearing.If I happen to like what you like then that's koo, but I sincerely believe that 50% of your style is in your attitude. I don't mean being a jerk orwhatever, but it's how you carry yourself. I don't think you need to spend mad money to look nice either.
First of all, 60 pairs of shoes? Unnecessary. Tell me they all aren't tennis shoes. Sell some of those kicks (like half of them) and use that $$$ to buysome clothes. Keep the shoes that are essential and match with a variety of things. When you get some gear don't get anything that's super unique foryour pants. So rockin jeans with writing, designs, colors, etc. is out of the question. Keep your bottoms basic and you'll get more rotation out of themwithout people noticing. You want to have more shirts to go with things. Keep your shirts nice but stay away from brands that always feel the need to put theirname all over everything (ecco, baby phat, aeropostale, old navy, etc.). Keep it clean. I'm not a brand person-I just like quality that looksnice....sometimes those happen to be brands. If you live near a Ross then go shop there for some things.
Bookmark this website www.slickdeals.net and get stuff on sale. They have them ALL the time. Hoodies and sweats in college will keep you warm and save youmoney. You'll appreciate that after college. You can look nice without dressing up all the time.

How often do you guys clean out your closet? I find myself going through my stuff every couple of months to weed out what I don't want.
Bought a pair of Paul Smith Jean chinos today, man they fit great.
A Black blazer is pretty hard to work with. I bought a black sportscoat in early Fall and I've only worn it once.

I clean out my closet every 4-6 months, mostly just to change for the season but I do get rid of some stuff that I won't be wearing much.
Breaking a rule, or two tonight.

IDK why, but that gray jacket makes me cringe for some reason. Other than that, thats a pretty good fit RFX.
Anybody have any suggestion on a navy casual dress shirt? Thanks.

I do not really get rid of my clothes, it's just stored (or piled up/crammed) in the garage.
If you have some good condition clothes, you can try selling them.
If not, your best bet is maybe the salvation army and try to get some tax deductables.

The hoody is definitely a risk but I like how it turned out. I think the hoody gives it a less serious look.
Maybe it's just me?

Damn Yuku, this is like the 3rd time I'm typing this but it keeps messing up. Anyways...
As for casual dress shirts or sport shirts, Rugby is a good starting point since it is slimmer than most off the rack.
They have a few go ons ale for $25-$35 at times, theres actually a couple I like at Rugby.com that I liek right now.
I also like Ben Sherman, fit is great, very slim. They are often on sale at Nordstrom Rack and Macys as well.
