Please help me improve my business casual wardrobe

[7055]

I am not particularly good at fashion and my business casual wardrobe needs help. It just does not look very coordinated or well put together. I have a lot of different shirts and a few different sets of trousers but I am looking for some advice on how to take what I've already got and maybe add or subtract a few things here and there and make it better. I would like to be able to have business casual wardrobes with both jeans and without. Thanks for any help. Here are some pictures of what I already currently own:



brooks brothers blue OCBD, Levis 501s, tan suede chukkas



Same shirt but with cotton Khaki Brooks Brothers trousers and brown leather boots. Belt is cordovan colored I think.



Yellow gingham OCBD, dark taupe cotton brooks brothers trousers, black leather belt, black boots



grey gingham OCBD, dark grey cotton brooks brothers trousers, black belt and boots



Same shirt but with the BB Khaki pants and brown shoes/belt



Same pants/shoes/belt but with a lavender glen plaid shirt



Same but with a french blue shirt



White OCBD, dark grey cotton trousers, black/black



My collection of belts



My collection of shoes, I feel this needs help



My collection of brooks brothers cotton trousers. I feel like the khaki ones work really well with some of my shirts but all the others don't.



Two different washes of Levi's 501s, I'd like to incorporate jeans into my business casual wardrobe.


Thanks for any help

Your shirts are too big, to tailor even.

Your shoes need help. Whats your budget for shoes?

The shirts are tailored, I think the pictures may be deceiving, Though my waist is small, I assure you that my upper body is filling in those shirts. I have a very small waist in comparison to shoulders and back. Though the shirts may be a bit big in the arms, They can't be fitted any more in the upper body without restricting movement.

Shoe budget, maybe $200 dollars or so. I have no problem spending money on clothes, the hard part is spending money on the right clothes. I recently picked up a pair of Clarks Bushacre Chukkas in beaswax.

As he said, the shoes.... The Clarks are hardly an upgrade, because they are too casual for most offices (don't lace up enough).

The pair of jeans has a marginally acceptable fit. The pants are too long (most of them clearly so) and pulling at the hips - they might be as well be replaced. White pants are not for business, by the way. The belts look adequate. The yellow shirt looks bad.

The fit of the shirts is fine. I do think the pants are a bit long, especially since they are on the tapered side - you really shouldn't see them bunched up like that at along your whole lower leg. It's amazing how much better pants look when they are the appropriate length. Shirts and belts are fine but the shoes could definitely use an improvement - less of the big, rounded toe. Your current boot selection is way too casual.

I agree that the pants are too long. Maybe a pair of jeans with a slighter slimmer fit?
