That's a very broad request, without budget or location. J. Crew might work. Any collection of casual shirts should include patterns and solids and probably some linen.

Location is middle of nowhere northern canada

.

Budget is low as I am a college student paying tuition out of pocket. My big issue is I honestly don't know what colors to look for and what type of pants go with what shirts and what shirts I can wear scarfs with and what coats go with what shirts etc.

I figure I am going to start off simple and just start picking up some button up shirts and going from there as I am painstakingly new to actual fashion.

@Esoterik
Starting simple is the way to go. Find yourself a good fitting oxford and buy one in white and blue. You can wear these everyday if you want and rotate out a few jackets, cardigans, sweaters, etc. and nobody will notice. Don't get too crazy with shirt patterns, maybe a check or a stripe here and there but if you stick to solids it will be much easier to match things with for now.

i am a noob, looking for combat style boots. looked at the fryes , kcole , f+b, just wondering what you guys would look the best good quality but not in the $500 price range just a little to pricey. like the fryes looked at the black rogan and the black rand lace up thanks for any help.

Just bought my first Fedora. It's solid grey with a 1" black band with a small white pattern all around the band. Is there a way to make this hat work with jeans and a button front shirt, or should this strictly be worn as a dress hat?

Esoterik · Jan 20, 2010

What type of coat should I be looking for? General look is going to be Casual button up shirt or t shirt and jeans/khakis, prefer a look I can use a scarf with properly.

Need help finding something simple. I want some low sneakers with a black (preferably leather) upper and white sole. I don't want a really slim chuck taylor looking shoe. Something like these: http://www.tobi.com/product/15958-co...0#ref%3Dpltext but priced at around $100. Thanks.

I guess you've never seen black and navy together, along with dozens of other combinations. Black and grey look fine together.

Converse?

Umm, I said I don't want a slim chuck taylor looking shoe, but thanks for trying to help anyway. I might go with PF Flyers Albins.

The moonstone blue
Chinchilla
Mouse

100% broke and need some quick casual shirts, acceptable option?
Likely would only wear as last resort until i can pick up proper shirts.

They're okay. The gap might have some better options, check the sales rack because fall/winter will be discounted.

Some picture with my face in them are below.

I'm wearing glasses I don't like very much. I'm going to get new ones soon. I invite you to give some recommendations for appropriate frames.

NDC is probably one of the highest quality boot in the $400ish range. Followed by F+B and then others. Frye's are extremely hit or miss, you can get one pair that will be perfectly fine and have decent construction and you can have a pair that will literally fall apart after a few wears. Butteros are really high-quality boots that fit the aesthetic but they're over $600 at retail and since Barney's is the only US stockist I know of, they rarely go on deep sale.

Please only wear this when it's raining
