What are some good leather shoes for a student at senior year of high school? I am going to use the shoes at school.

I have chelsea boots and desert boots. 

This is a weird question, pardon my ignorance. I just had my first bespoke suit made and I choose a different option other than belt loops for my trousers. I cannot for the life of me remember the name. 

My question is what are alternatives for belt loops. I know tabs, but that wasn't the name. Anyone else know any other kinds? It's really bugging me and my tailor isn't open until Tuesday.

Thanks!

Really? I actually like it, but some her at SF said it would look too formal. I would consider buying some longwings or wingtips in suede, but I don't want to look like a douchebag.

Are there actually any other options than longwings or wingtips?

If someone at school is going to call you a douchebag, it'll be because you're trying to dress better than the norm. It won't matter what kind of shoes you're wearing; once you're past the $150 sneaker style, plenty of your peers will be out for blood (which isn't a bad thing, IMO).

With that being said, anything suede would look great. I'm about to start my second year of college, and I'm looking to get a pair of single monks in brown suede, as I've seen them look great with jeans and khakis. See:

If you don't like the idea of wearing monks to school, I think wingtips are still a great option. I'm not a huge fan of longwings, but that's totally personal preference.

No, that isn't the name. But thanks. I swear it was like tri-something. but tri-tab doesn't bring up any results in a search... I may just have to wait until Tuesday to call.

I'm a second year law student.  I'm having lunch tomorrow at a reasonably nice hotel with a partner at big firm.  She is the aunt of one of my close friends and is going to help me find a job.  It certainly isn't an interview in the formal sense, but it's important that I make a good impression.   I'm considering wearing a suit, but I'm a little concerned it's overdoing it.  I don't have a blazer or a sportcoat that is appropriate for summer (a blazer is going to be one of my next purchases, but I don't the money right now).  I appreciate any advice.  Thanks.

Do you have any decent v-neck sweaters? Nice shoes, trousers, button-up (or maybe even an OCBD), maybe a tie (depending on shirt choice), and a cotton sweater looks "nice" without being formal.

I'd much rather wear something like that than a full suit; like you said, that's overdoing it a bit.

What are the guidelines (if any) for wearing leather with leather? I have some leather boots that I'd like to wear with navy chinos this Autumn, but I don't know what to wear for a jacket. I have one in leather, but don't know if it can be worn with the boots:

I might pick up a khaki field jacket, which I think would look great with the boots and navy chinos, but I'm just wondering if I'll need it.
