Would this inseam length be appropriate for work? I'm usually a 30x30 but I bought pants that were 30x32 and I was thinking maybe shortening it to a 30x30 would be a better idea. The suit itself that I bought is very well fitted but the the pants might be a little too long for my taste.

A white undershirt should never peeks through the unbuttoned collar of a dress shirt, right?
Is this why you should wear a V-neck undershirt if not buttoning the top button?

Yes and yes.

Those pants look a hair short to me, but 2 inches is a huge difference in length and suit pants need to be tailored. The pants should just touch the top of your shoe (or a little longer than that if you like some "break").

Are there even any big differences among the various types? Thank you.

Shoe stretcher?
I wouldn't suggest using one, but I am no expert.

Hi, I am shopping for a stainless steel sports watch that will fit my narrow wrist (perfect fit would be 38-40mm). I particularly like IWC and Omega brands. Unfortunately they tend to be bigger, like Portuguese and Seamaster. There is an Omega Speedmaster Day and Day&Time, but it is not co-axial. Would it be possible for someone to direct me to either a good site where I can buy a pre-owned watch (from what I gathered large dials are a recent trend) or suggest another brand in the same price range? Thank you!

here are some of the looks I am going for:

They look okay. Do you have bigger pics?

I was looking to buy into a better brand. I guess if people were buying by looks alone, all those higher-end watch makers would be out of business.

I'm looking for some dressier slip ons to leave at my office for the winter months. I like the look of the AE Georgetowns:

1. Is there a cheaper brand that I should be looking at? These shoes will probably never set foot outdoors, so durability can take a back seat for style and price.

2. If I put shoe trees in them every night before going home, can I get away with only having 1 pair at my office or should I still get a couple and rotate them?

Thanks.
