If you Google the Put This On blog, there's a recent post that links to many summer items for cheap. One of them is ribbon belts; at like $15 a pop, you could find many that work well with your jeans and still have money left over for a leather belt.

If I wear tan shoes, do I also need a tan belt? Or brown would be fine?

Ok, first post! Please call out mistakes

I found this jacket on Aero Leather's used/vintage section of their site (sold) and Im looking for something similar. I like the perfecto leather jacket style in non leather material.

I just got some dark skinny chinos, sort of an olive/green color. I also wear them with my sand coloured desert boots, looks great! I unroll them when I wear the boots though. I roll them when I wear something like boat shoes or vans with them. The dark chinos are really in at the moment, the classic is good though.

Have you considered J.Crew's Urban Slim Fit Chino's? I've a pair of british khaki ones and they fit pretty slim. They're around $65 and they have a few colors you could choose from, just check online.

Arguably the standard shoe colors are dark brown and black, as are the standard belt colors. You don't have to wear a belt that matches a non-standard shoe color, and in fact such matching probably shouldn't be done. Just don't mix brown and black. With tan shoes, the belt could even be white or an unusual color such as green.

I'm not particularly small framed, I work out a fair bit so I'm bigger up top, will this be ill-fitting?

I have a few of their non-iron slim fit (not extra) shirts for work and found them to work well. Maybe you get fans posting in WAYWT best of thread with it, but they fit properly and hold up decently.

How big are you? Probably not as big as I am and these have worked well. You have to remember that BBs are cut for fat Americans.

Ah, I'm 5'10, 170, not particularly big but the slim fit throws me off a bit. Jcrew medium's usually fit me quite well, would a medium in BB slim fit similar?
