the article recommends matching the tie to the shirt/outfit. i disagree. the tie is the single-most defining component of your get-up, a man's own signature if you will. the tie comes first, and then shirts etc are chosen around that to match..
A man should never wear shorts in the city. Flip-flops and shorts in the city are never appropriate. Shorts should only be worn on the tennis court or on the beach. - Tom Ford
really fancy dress shoes are not mandatory by any means. I'd rather spend that money on a nice watch and buy some sperry topsiders or converse allstars, or any number of retro shoes. I owned a pair of bruno magli shoes that I never wore. topsiders are classic and look just as good or better than them at a fraction of the cost, and unlick the fancy dress shoes which gets scuffed up, the dirty and scuffed up the topsiders get the better they look.
sperry topsiders with a suit is just plain bogan. also, you're supposed to get your dress shoes shined and polished between scuffings.
oh course they are. no, what I really meant is if you don't buy a pair of high quality Italian made shoes, at least 450.00 custom made, then you don't know quality. Cheap shoes are terrible. oh yeah, and if I'd have said that, you'd have went the opposite. It's exhauting knowing the next post after I post will be the opposite of what I said. But I expected it. carry on.
i have never seen custom made dress shoes for $450. typically just creating the last to mimic your foot costs around $1000
yeah, you can't buy a custom made shoe for 450.00. It takes at least 1000.00 to a customer made tailored shoe. typically the last itself cost 1000.00
the customer doesn't make the shoe, the shoemaker does. also, shoes aren't tailored....that's for clothing..
I've never seen a double period at the end of a sentence;--emphasis, or ignorance? Also, an ellipsis is indicated with three dots, not four. I don't know whether to read: "also, shoes aren't tailored. ...that's for clothing." Or, "also shoes aren't tailored... .that's for clothing." Either way, if you had decided to use the humble semicolon, it'd make your life easier and our understanding of the sentence much clear. Try it some day. Although judging from the "da" in pippenDAgimp, I'd say the chances of correct punctuation ever gracing your lucid posts, risky at best.
Your "sig" tells me all I need to know about your grammar skills. You managed in the span of 11 words to butcher the word "love" with the idiosyncratic aptly "luv," and you omitted, haphazardly at best, "my love" when you could have omitted everything but "mine begins." Where your *love* for the Rockets peaks...mine begins.
If you're wearing a suit, then you're probably not in a setting where scuffed-up topsiders are appropriate (unless maybe you're wearing a white linen suit and hanging out on the dock off your home in the Hamptons). But for business casual, they're fine (maybe not dirty, however). Still, I would rather have nice shoes than a nice watch. And it's easy to pick up nice shoes (construction and style-wise) under $300 if you're willing to watch for sales and look around second-hand.
"what" drives a beat up Mini Cooper and posted a thread here to ask how to invest a whole $1000 into a business. I wouldn't even really care about his thoughts on dressing like a professional. It's just comical.
If you are wearing a pair of khaki shorts, then you are probably not in a setting where under 300.00 dress shoes are appropriate (unless maybe you're wearing a white linen suit and hanging out on the dock off your home in the Hamptons). But for the purposes of your point, they're fine (maybe not dirty, however). Still, I would rather have nice watch than nice shoes. And it's easy to pick up nice watches (construction and style-wise) under $300 if you're willing to settle for sales and look around second-hand.
