    Compensating for wide shoes?

    I cannot feel the difference between the D and E, but there seems to be a solid crease on the left shoe right between the tip and where the laces are. The crease stays there even when my foot is flat on the ground. Maybe I am overreacting since this is my first "nice" shoe...

    Help me decode "business casual" for this internship!

    Big Texas:thanks for the heads up, I'll consider my flip phone situation as it was more of a personal preference issue as I have yet had the desire to spend a whole lot on a data plan. I've also gauged the work attire at the company during my visit for interviews and I can confidently say that...

    Help me decode "business casual" for this internship!

    Just realized that I only have two solid color shirt out of the five. I feel as if the number of solid color shirts should either equal or exceed the number of patterned shirt at this point in time (as I'm slowly creating my business casual wardrobe). What do other think? More solid or more...

    Help me decode "business casual" for this internship!

    I didn't realize that the forum doesn't notify you about new posts in the threads you start. Well I read through all the comments and have done some shopping accordingly. So far I have 5 dress shirts (nicely tailored to fit), 3 cotton dress pants (black, charcoal grey, and british tan), and a...

    Compensating for wide shoes?

    I cannot return them as I do not know where they bought them and nor did I receive a gift receipt of any kind. In all honesty, the feel is minimal for me, but that could be because I am a novice when it comes to wearing nice leather shoes...

    Compensating for wide shoes?

    I recently received a pair of Allen Edmonds as a gift and the shoe is a wider than what I typically am fitted for. I usually wear a 7D but this is a 7E. What are some downsides to wearing a size wider and how does it affect the shoe? Is there any way to compensate for the extra width?

    What shoe will match for my needs?

    Thanks that clarifies a lot! So I'm guessing that either one of these would be okay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALLEN-EDMONDS-Fifth-Avenue-Size-8-D-Medium-Brown-Wingtip-Oxfords-Good-Condition-/160995732669?pt=US_Men_s_Shoes&hash=item257c17ecbd or...

    What shoe will match for my needs?

    My internship will be in Chicago. I have more pants/shirt selections which I bought online a few hours ago on the first post of this thread. When you say that I can possibly pull off wearing a brown shoe, are we referring to a darker brown or a lighter camel/tan brown?

    What shoe will match for my needs?

    Ahh I apologize for my poor forum etiquette! I'll make sure to keep my questions grouped together as to avoid cluttering the forum. But since I've already created this thread, I'll keep my shoe related questions here. Anyways, I now agree that AE's PA and FA may be too formal. But what about...

    What shoe will match for my needs?

    I will be a summer intern in Chicago and the work attire is business casual. So far I have a couple solid color BR non-iron slim fit dress shirts and a black non-iron cotton dress pants. In addition, I bought a bunch of items from BB such as...

    Need fitting advice

    Thanks for the advice! I'll go get everything fixed up right now. But what about the sleeves? Are they supposed to be that length or should they be shorter and less bunched up?

    Need fitting advice

    Being new to dressing "nice", I would appreciate if members would give me some advice on how clothes are supposed to "fit". Does this shirt look like it fits "well", and if not, what alternations should I get and what is the average cost of these alterations? As for the pants, does the pants...

    Being new to dressing nice, can someone tell me if this shirt fits "well" and if not, what type of alterations to get?

    Help me decode "business casual" for this internship!

    Thanks for the quick response! I guess I can always wear a tie the first day (just in case) and take it off if inappropriate. Secondly, I wanted to ask if wearing a watch is considered an "essential" for an internship. I can see how wearing a classic formal watch can come off as being "snobby"...
