Ultimate noob thread - recommend me X in my wardrobe - post questions here please.

[daghoi]

So her's my well worn shoe setup. What kind of shoe would you recommend to when I want to extend "collection". I'm working in a casual enviorment, wearing (nice) jeans, cotton pant's and shirts to work. I'll wear a suit perhaps two/three times a month..

I'm tempted to get a pair of single Monk Straps, brown or Burgundy. I'm living in Scandinavia, with a short summer and long autumn/winter. So the season for nice shoes is limited.
(Off course there are a sneakers and running shoes in the closet, not relevant for this setting).

Dark brown suede chukka boots.

Buying my first suit since I was little and probably going with a budget-option from h&m in charcoal or navy. Now I need to find a pair of dress shoes. What's a good pair ~$100 that will look decent?

 

[Bortelli]

what Gerry said. but if you are really on a budget, I would not recommend Stacy Adam's.. but that's one option I guess.

Looking for a decent pair of blue suede chukka boots. Suggestions?

Church's but they're pricey.
Mcnairy also.

Should I buy boots or chukkas for outfits consisting of button downs untucked with dark nudie jeans and chinos? These are what I have right now so I think I'll be needing a black pair and a dark brown pair of whatever I get. I'm not familiar with any brands so if someone could list a few brands or websites that have good quality stuff for around 250 a pair I'd really appreciate it.

I'm trying to find a simple field jacket, specifically without epaulets.

Something similar to this:

Does anyone know of one that is currently for sale?

Clarks has made a blue suede version - I think they are about $130

Dark brown suede chukka boots.

Yes or any kind of chukka really. Also consider something styled like the Alden Indy boot or Wolverine 1000k - both work well with jeans but can work with slightly less casual clothes as well.

Thats exactly what I'm looking for but I think it would be a fraction small.

Thanks for the help though
