Hi everyone, congrats for tne nice forum !

It's time to buy new pair of shoes.. and it's as usual a hard decision.

I need something that has a casual(also expensive) look, authentic leather and a high quality

I have searched a lot and now I am wondering between these 2 pairs:

1) D&G

2) Hugo Boss Black
http://www.hugoboss-store.de/Mirko/5...html?color=001


What is your opinion on both, which one is better?
If you have other suggestions, just post them, you are welcome, I am all ears...

Maybe H&M, or just go look around at dillards sale racks, thrifts stores, etc..

I'm kind of tempted to actually do that. Would I get permabanned from the internets and/or sued for fraud?

Well the second link didn't work for me, but the first are just awful. If you want expensive and casual, then Common Projects are the obligatory suggestion. Though they don't look expensive, and it seems the look is what you're after. Maybe Dior, if you want the label cachet, but without the gaudy branding.

In for this answer. I've grown out of my Brooks Brothers one and need a new blazer, and I'm not sure where to go. I'm looking for around the same price range too.

t-shirt brands

popular indie japanese or hyped up streetwear brands with tees that have nice designs, preferably abstract or logo, just no script fonts, skulls, or anything suggesting violence. also preferably fitted for a skinny guy

colors: white black blue red navyblue grey(maybe)

budget: $20-30 (or any suggestions of tees or brands out of budget)

Looking for chambray pants (not jeans). UO has some ****** ones for $20, but is there anything slightly nicer that's still not too expensive?

You could always take the plunge and try proxying some Japanese stuff through Rakuten or that new site. A bunch of us have always wanted to try it but we always chicken out....DO IT!

Pretend the only shoes I have are some sneakers and a pair of formal boots. What casual shoes should I buy to wear with jeans around town and to university? (a) Bucks (b) Desert Boots (c) Random Boots (d) Other

Bearing in mind that I'll have to purchase the shoe in the pic. I'm size 15 so can't be too picky.
