Hi All!
Long time reader, first time poster.
I have been a pharmacist for almost 4 years and work in the retail setting. I have always loved menswear but started my career with Target where I was forced to wear a uniform (red polo, khaki pants). About a year and half ago that changed since Target Pharmacy is no more.
Since then I have been building a wardrobe that I am not getting as much wear out of as I would like.
Shirts: 4 SuitSupply MTM (1 solid white, 2 blue with contrast collars, 1 white with blue stripes (white collar), 1 SuitSupply white linen, 10 Sid Mashburn (3 solid white, rest are blue or white with stripes).
Pants: 4 Incotex (charcoal, blue, khaki, blue patterned), 4 SuitSupply (mid grey, charcoal, khaki, blue) 4 Sid Mashburn ( essentially the same colors)
Suits: 1 SuitSupply Navy Traveler, 1 SuitSupply Brown (winter weight) DB, 1 Suit Supply MTM brown SB (3 Season), Sid Mashburn Charcoal SB (3 season), Sid Mashburn Pine SB, Sid Mashburn Heather SB (3 roll 2), Sid Mashburn Air Force Blue.
Shoes: Allen Edmonds Mora brown Double Monks, Allen Edmonds Grayson Black Tassel Loafers, Allen Edmonds Lake Forest Oxblood Loafers, Allen Edmonds brown Dalton dress boots, Alden Brown Suede Tassel Loafers, Sid Mashburn Tobacco Suede Loafers, Tods brown Gammino Drivers, Edward Green black wholecut oxfords.
Ideally I would wear a suit everyday. Would I be foolish to do so? I guess I could and remove the jacket and replace it with the white coat every morning?
I do have an issue with shoes at work. None of my leather soled shoes are comfortable enough to stand for 12-14 hours. And all of my work shoes (cole haan grand/zero grand) look terrible to begin with and even worse with suits.
In addition these shoes get destroyed within 3 months (scuffs, scratches, creases, etc). I have worn my Allen Edmonds and Aldens to work before but find myself worrying about scuffing/scratching them all day, not to mention my feet are killing me by hour 10.
Should I just wear suits everyday and not be concerned about what people will think? Continue with the Cole Haans or start wearing my "real" shoes?
Sorry for the long post, just need some help figuring it all out. I would like to be well dressed at all times and am not sure exactly how to accomplish that. Should I just change careers and be an investment banker or an associate at WLRK?
Thanks!
