I'm a newbie to this forum and to thinking more critically about what I wear in general. I've spent some time reading men's style blogs and going through the forums, and I've learned a lot over the past months. These are the style forum threads I've found most helpful:

http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=35147 - Definitive Guide to Slim Fit Shirts
http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=111447 - Basic Tie Questions
http://www.styleforum.net/showthread.php?t=10830 - Shoe Care Supply Checklist

I've also found the "basic" posts on Put This On very helpful.

My question: what style forum threads do you think are the most helpful or most important for a young professional learning about classic men's style for business dress and formal occasions?

I think something like this would be pretty useful since all the common questions have good threads where they've been answered.
