for first, anything other than black loafers? maybe a blank off-white tennis shoe or VOR sneakers?
Suede loafer in snuff or dark brown for me.

I am hoping one of the buyers of the size 46 Castaner espadrilles will comment on the fit. I am a 12N (AA/B) who tried a Castaner 45 in a model NMWA does not carry and found it too tight, but all the above discussion on sizing leads me to believe 45 is the right size here. And a shout out to NMWA for carrying a 46. I do not even see that size on the company web site!

I'm in a frustrating situation. As I've mentioned before, my office has been suit and tie since anyone alive can remember. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has completely changed things. Since no one at my office understands business casual, it is a weird amalgamation of formal suit + casual shirt + no tie, or suit trousers + formal shirt.

In this strange netherworld where nothing seems appropriate.

On a separate note, did y'all pick up the duffel in either of these colors?

This is the worst look that most men think is a good look. The only way to make it worse is to pair it with square-toed shoes.

I saw a navy suit paired with a shirt like this the other day:

I'm a US 13D and wear a 46 in Castaner. Out of the box, they're a bit snug, but fit great after just a few hours of wear.

If by casual shirt we’re talking about a polo, I think this could look good depending on the suit, but something tells me no one in Newc’s firm is pulling this off.

I think a tan linen suit with a polo can look good. Ditto for a brown corduroy suit with a turtleneck. I suspect that Newcomer's co-workers are wearing a navy/charcoal suit with no tie. Just say no to that look.
