So GQ has labeled chambray as a must have this season, whats next on the horizon?

 

[cquan05]

^I used my employee discount, they were $98 and I got 50% off.......good looks though.

 

[ubuibeme]

My bad dude.

I gotta start following this thread more closely..

So I finally got my 511s in the mail and I sized up to 34 from 32(514) size. I compared them to each other and the waist on the size 34 511's is actually smaller than the waist on the size 32 514's

. Either way, I love how the sized up 511s fit

I have a quick question, I have some all brown Sperry topsiders although I know they're suppose to be worn bare feet but I hate wearing them with jeans that shows my ankle.  I was wondering what color and type of socks could I buy to pull them off?

Something like this is fine, excuse the fellow

These are the Sperrys

 

[jamminbyalias]

Trying to decide between a pair of Paul Smith Corso boots in brown or a pair of Tricker Brogue boots-- thoughts? Tricker has the reputation for great boots but I also like the slimmer silhouette of the Corsos. Also, for anyone that owns the Paul Smith Corso-- do they run small, large, or true to size? Thanks in advance guys!

is wearing black socks with boat shoes supposed to be a fashion faux pas ? i would assume that it would be fine with pants/jeans. with shorts then boat shoes would probably only look right sock less or with no show type socks.

Guys i need a little advice on what to wear, my co worker is having a party for her 21st bday. Its kinda formal, but its still a party, if you get what im saying.
I was thinking white button down, black suit vest, black slacks, black dress shoes, and purple tie. What you guys think?

 

[eeibaby]

I don't have much experience but I know you shouldn't wear all black especially if it isn't a wedding.

That might be a good look, as long as everyone else doesn't show up in jeans and sweaters. 
Also you might wanna do some things to give the look a bit of "hipness" and less "business". Maybe a colorful/patterned/loud tie could help break it up. Something like the one below in terms of colors. A non-solid dress shirt if you wear a more muted tie. Maybe roll up the sleeves as well and wear a nice watch. A tie-bar. You get the idea.

yea grey usually works a lot better.  Also for a more casual but good look is to roll up the sleeves

The only thing that can save those Sperry's are some spicy socks. Your homies might not appreciate them but women will definitely compliment you on.
Happy Socks are $10 a pair

Or there's the good ol' $4 for $10 at UNIQLO. I have a problem, I don't wear white socks.

[h2]A style guide to everything you're doing wrong[/h2]from GQ.com, just a few that pertained

1. Embellished jeans
Studded with rivets, designed with crystal swirls, embroidered, tattooed, painted…In your sincere attempt to be "hip," you have actually ended up dressing like a seventeen-year-old girl.

4. Ed Hardy
If you are over twenty-one and now working for a living, it's the King of the Douches look. (See: Jon Gosselin.) Absurd. Don't be a victim.

5. Sunglasses indoors or at night
Comedian Larry David put it best… "You know who wears sunglasses inside? Blind people and @!@#%+%!."

6. Stupid t-shirts
Tell us you can't read and we'll leave you alone.

9. Fur coat
Here's a thought…give it to us. It will make a lovely throw at the end of our bed.

10. Sports jerseys
Only acceptable at a sporting event. Actually, we take that back. This whole look is just plain !!@%%. And by !!@%% we don't mean gay. A gay man would never be caught dead in one. They make you look like a big, lumbering seven-year-old.

12. Overly cologned
Way to announce yourself six minutes before you actually enter the room. Yowza. Your strong and stanky scent is burning out our eyes. It's also ensuring that no matter what we order for dinner, it will taste like Drakkar Noir.

16. Sideways baseball hat: A.K.A "the Hat Tilt"
Unfortunately, this has become a national epidemic. The fact that you stood in front of a mirror, making your puckered-lipped "I'm so cool" face, popping your "lid" at the perfect angle to get this exact look is so loserish it scares us.

18. Tacky polyester suits
We would like to be with men who dress like they are of this era.
*great tie imo

I am leaning towards brown. I dont have a pair of brown pants or shoes though. ( building my "dressing better" wardrobe) I am thinking khaki colored pants.

Does it matter the shade of brown shoes? Should I get like a cognac colored shoe or a dark brown shoe?

It depends on the shade of your pants and your preferences (although I'd probably do for a contrasting look either way, i.e. dark vs. light). Just make sure your belt color matches your shoes.
