I've recently decided to grow up my dress style. I just had a couple questions for you:

Firstly, what kind of shoes would you fellas suggest for every-day wear and tear with khakis? I am quite tired of wearing sneakers from Foot Locker. Right now I am just wearing my Sperry boat shoes everywhere I go.

Secondly I had a shirt sizing question. Last year I purchased a few crappy dress shirts from a business casual store. I am 6'2, 205, 34'' waist. The neck size is 15 inches on them (a little tight) and the sleeve isn't listed.

But the main issue is that they are WAY too short (they untuck when I put my arms in the air). I plan on getting into my local Harry Rosen here in Ottawa to pick up some nicer stuff, but I don't know what size to go for... I am sure that they can help me there but I'd just like a little intelligence going in. Also this is for when I go to Ebay and need to know sizes. For dress shirts that simply go S M L XL what should I be getting?

Thanks guys!

penny loafers would look good with khakis in the summer

some shirt manufacturers have 15R and 15L, L meaning long. often regular european shirts (no R or L, just the number) are pretty long.

I'll look into Penny loafers! I have actually been considering these... what do you think... versatile? http://cgi.ebay.com/ERMENEGILDO-ZEGN...3%3A1|294%3A50

Gotcha.
