I agree that both have their respective places.

I have a black belt kenneth cole but its kinda worn out.

I may hit nordstrom rack for some new shoes and belt. I was thinking a blazer could finish off my look, but I didn't really see anything. I'm in no rush though...

I don't think Diddy would wear those shoes even if you pay him.

My pair is in good shape, and they are several years old (3 or 4). Those kind of shoes were everywhere - still are actually.

I bet if Details didn't put out that article not many folks would think anything odd about "square toes" or "going out shirts"

come to think of it, I used to get a lot of compliments on those. I already know they kill my outfit.

Perhaps, but not within the realm of this forum. Squared-toed shoes are, IMO, probably the worst invention in men's shoes. A rounded, more chiseled toe not only looks better and balances much better. Again, this is my opinion, and most here would agree with me, although I will leave them to provide their own views on this issue.

I'd suggest checking out Allen-Edmonds, especially with the sales going on at Nordstrom. You might also check out Nordstrom Rack for deals, as sometimes they can be had.

As far as the tuck or untuck, IMO tucking looks much better. Good luck with the interviews!

I doubt people who stay in this main forum read Details.

Tucked looks better, IMO. Also, I cannot understand why you should need to untuck when you go to a club. This habit of "dressing down" to look cool when you go to a club does not appeal to me. However, I guess that the issue is that I generally do not go to the kind of clubs where people hang around with their shirts untucked (often looking like dorks trying very hard not to look dorky...).
(I recently ended up at such a place; one of the old traditional cocktail bars here in town changed its management some time ago and I was taken by surprise one night walking in their for a drink and finding that the new crowd hanging out there was of the untucked sort; I guess that I looked a bit out of place with my dark blue bespoke suit, tie, pocket square and Tramezza oxfords, but I didn't feel uncomfortable and I can assure that I did not feel tempted to untuck).
(Now, I am no purist and there are a few of my shirts that I actually prefer to wear untucked)

I think it looks fine either way.

That's not true most of the time, or for most people (I personally almost always have to tuck for instance, to appear presentable). But I think the OP has the right build to look OK with the shirt untucked. Obviously, be situation-appropriate with the choice, but in terms of how the two looks appear, IMO they're both fine.

Oh, one more thing - if you've got two top buttons undone and the shirt untucked, I think it adds a bit of visual balance to undo the bottom button of the shirt too (provided it's not so high that you expose your belly, which it doesn't seem to be in your case).
