    Bulky Mens British Dress shoes

    Hello, I have been trying to get a couple nice pairs of dress shoes (I know right before winter!). Anyway, I hadn't had the opportunity to investigate Crockett & Jones, so I got a pair through mail order to investigate. They fit quite well, though I have had that illusion before when walking...

    What would you do?

    Interesting point. Any suggestions for an overcoat?

    What would you do?

    I am in Boston. I need to get a couple pairs of shoes, an overcoat, a trench coat, and perhaps some shirts. The list is ordered by need. Shoes are what I am most anxious about as the shoes I am wearing now are ill fitting and hurt my feet. That is a no go in a walking city like Boston. I want...

    Dress Shirts

    countdemoney, that is a great point. I need to slow down and get quality clothing. I need to rethink these shirtmakers. While none of them are particularly bad, I can't try them on, and they don't have what I am looking for, which admittedly might not be what I like, so I need to continue to...

    Dress Shirts

    So, this is probably over analysis on my part, i.e has an easy or obvious solution,but I have been looking to buy more dress shirts. Either from Brooks Brothers, Charles Tyrwhitt, T.M. Lewin, or Harvey Hudson. I am looking to spend around $200 for 3 shirts, about $67 per shirt. I take a 36 1/5...

    Casual Wear

    Couple questions, What is the most versatile color for boat shoes? Classic dark brown? For standard shorts, should they end just above the knee? For dress shirts, button down or cut-away collar? Different occasions for each? I am going for a traditional look. I really just want to make sure I...

    Young Professional Wardrobe Guidance

    Hi, These are great answer. For the record I am Comptroller of a company, but I act as an investment bank or business broker for other companies. Obviously, these two roles are unrelated. So based on suggestions, I need to emphasize quality over quantity. Does that mean get custom tailored...

    Young Professional Wardrobe Guidance

    Good point. So I should take that into consideration when I make an action plan. That being said, what should my first step be?

    Young Professional Wardrobe Guidance

    Hi, I want to build a proper young professionals wardrobe. I have heard, 10 button down shirts, 5 slacks, 2 suits, 1-2 pairs of shoes, and a 2 belts. Is that a good amount? Should any of those be specific colors? I am very traditional, and if I could I would want to get this all done bespoke...

    Entering the life on Wall Street

    Thanks guys I really appreciate you helping me out. I think I am going to try and step it up a notch, in how I look, but not necessarily worry about suits yet. I am going to start browsing and trying to understand what I like. As for internship advice thank you so much. I think I am pretty much...

    Entering the life on Wall Street

    edmorel, I certainly, see your point. By no means am I in any position to do any of that and I completely agree that a style is something that you need to establish. I chose my wording incorrectly with respect. I should have used another word that is escaping me at the moment. I don't...

    Entering the life on Wall Street

    Right now, I am in sales at a brokering place. So it is important, I plan to move into trading. I understand what is expected and what people wear, but I like to look nice. If I was an I-Banker and worked 80+ hours I would still want to look nice, but I would definitely keep in mind comfort...

    Entering the life on Wall Street

    Steve B,I was talking about Fairfield Clothiers. I would really like to hear Cantabrigian about how it is completely flawed I love contrarian thinking as it brings about a more thorough discussion. I do like to look nice as well though, if that is what you mean. I just hate being the intern that...

    Entering the life on Wall Street

    Hey Guys, I am trying to learn a lot about suits, food, wine, beer, clothing, and sports. I grew up in a middle class family that didn't teach any of the finer points, but now that I am an intern on Wall Street I feel the need to understand this new walk of life in order to be respected...
