A little background info:

I'm 16 (hence the title haha)
I live in a very small town about an hour and a half distance from Edinburgh, Scotland.
I like to vary my style of clothing due to the seasons etc
People in the area i live are very ignorant of true style (they like to stick to the norm, simple, boring clothing...well thats my opinion. Basically they stick to jeans and a t shirt. Which without a doubt i find fashionable, however they don't vary)

My current "main" jeans are a pair of Dark Indigo Nudie Thinn Finns
i'm 6'2"
Quite athletic build

Now to the actual point before i bore your very stylish socks off

I obviously am not a millionaire, so i therefore cannot afford to spend 500 pounds on a pair of shoes. So i guess what i need help with is knowing where to search to find those "gems". I love wearing Chino's aswell as jeans (not sure if they are really stylish, but i like them :p)

Any tips or advice for me??

Thank you Kind People

Imagine yourself in a library. Lots of people are reading, discussing, minding their own business. The books around you contain all of the information on the subject that you are interested in. Rather than begin reading the books, you stand in the middle of the library, screaming questions at the top of your lungs as all the readers look at you uncomfortably.

This is the situation you are in right now.

Recently got back from a trip in italy (have family there) and came back with an urge to buy chinos in a variety of colours (as they regularly wear many different colours of them over there...mainly red and greens)

Explanation: Unc has this thing where he cannot resist the urge to be catty to people on the internet. People called him out a couple of times for doing that for no really good reason, so now he focuses on doing it for good reasons. Like this thread.

Gonna have to side with unc on this one. There seems to be an abundance of special flower threads lately...
