I guess I don't see them as wretched. I would wear leather loafers if I found any that were comfortable like house shoes. I think thats the appeal of these, they seem comfortable and as though they'd go well with jean/chino fits.

I couldn't find it, but there's a fit Rye did last year with them that initially piqued my interest in them as a shoe.

Tuck the tongue of the boots under the hem, might consider undoing the collar buttons (I started doing this as a mockery of sprezz, but I actually have grown to like the look a lot better than having them done up, especially in really casual fits: I only button them with a tie). I can't help but think the boots are out of place though, the top is very business-casual but the boots are lumberjack

Well of course the ballaz aren't going to be into ring mocs.

That said, they are not the most versatile shoe. Probably won't go with skinnier pants, and JtG trousers would never work. Mocs like arrow and quoddy start out pretty wide/chunky and get wider and chunkier as you break them in.

I agree that the DBs are out of place in this fit, especially after looking at the picture. I think I might be coming to a point when they are simply out of place in my wardrobe. I need to replace them with some brown laceup boots, maybe something like PS Bihars.

Thanks for the critique.

I actually think that the chinos may be misrepresented in the photo; the thighs seem to be fine in real life and do not really bulge out. They do, however, need to be hemmed, and that was the only reason for the roll. I agree completely with your recommendation of some different footwear.

I think pairing loafers with skinner trousers is quite possible if the shoe itself is sleek. I bought some PS loafers recently that I like a lot and think would work for such a fit, but sadly they are too big. Here's a pic of them so you can see what I'm talking about:

Just stop with the blazer / denim shit. I don't know who does it well or how to do it well, but it definitely takes too much effort for too little reward. It's a douchey fckn look even if you are on the cover of GQ and they have a legion of photoshoppers working on it. This better not turn into the secret blazer douche corner of SF.

And bennet, your shot's proportions are all wack and fish eyed. I've seen your other shots and they were generally better but this is an ongoing issue which makes fit advice impossible.

lol i hope this becomes troll central

Oh god I made the unfortunate decision to buy a pair of Quoddy ring mocs a while back. The next day my life decisions caught up to me and I quickly resold them.

no way with jtg, i dont think if would with anything smaller than 8" hem even then you'd want to cuff to ease the transition.

I need help with proportions.

You took a photo that fucks up proportions.

You should wear a belt, first of all. Second of all, proportions are hard to judge when your photo doesn't make any sense.

wore this to work today...

H&M x2 (sleeves might get shortened a bit)

CK shoes

how does the jacket work with the khaki pants? I was hoping it came with matching pants when I bought it, I never really did the dressy blazer x dress pants (although these pants are pretty casual) thing. usually just casual blazer x jeans (which everyone here hates) or i'd just wear a suit. Would it look better with black or navy dress pants? what other color pants would work?
