You'd get more enjoyment out of lighting your money on fire than buying A|X or any crappy designer-for-mall brands

Plain basics? American apparel

I'm looking for casual boots in the low price area.. something I can wear when I don't want to wear sneaker or If it should look a bit more "special".

Already have clarks db in brown suede, basically I love the desert boot style but the clarks don't like rain and I don't want my next pair of shoes to be DBs again in leather, I want something a bit more special.

Any Ideas?
I really like the 1000 mile boots but they are very expensive (400€ here).

^this, but can be oxfords or bucks or chelseas or anything. just something "nice" and not sneaks. I have DBs, GATs, and GTs. What else should I get?

Who makes desert boots besides clarks? Something a little higher quality.

Recommendations for a boot that I could sneak to work from time to time and wear out? Don't currently own any boots so no worries of duplicates. Also, there seems to be a pretty strong bias against black boots, someone fill me in?

Which of these do people prefer?

Can't decide myself.

What better way to kick off my first post than in the ultimate noob thread

Not particularly a fan of Express, however, I did receive a couple pairs of shorts as a gift a few days ago. Surprise, surprise... they're a bit on the big side, so I need to go in to exchange them. These are the two pairs I received....

There's a good chance they won't have the sizes I'm looking for in these colors, so I might have to exchange them for a different pair. Basically just looking for some opinions on the color/style options available to me, link below...

any recommendations for some moderately priced (ie, no BoO) slim fiting button downs, preferably solid colored?

Brooks Brothers extra slim fit dress shirts (sport shirts are a bit looser)
