it was easy to find the type that i like in asia and europe but i cant for the life of me find nice ones in NYC for some reason, here are some examples...

Check century 21. I picked up a few pairs by Tommy Hilfiger a few weeks ago for $45 a pop.

Picked up a pair of red suede, navy suede, and brown leather.

Can you tell me what the model name (and if you have a pic) is of the red suede TH driving shoes/loafers you got?
I had gotten a pair of Lacoste Concours but I wasn't too thrilled with them and they weren't comfortable.

TINY pic but it's all I could find, seems like they're sold out at this point:

I've been searching hard for a pair of red loafers, those seemed like they would have fit what I needed. I grabbed these but they aren't quite red enough so I don't know if I'm keeping them or not.

Give us some details on the wedding.  Location, time of day, etc. Off the top of my head: A light pink shirt with a grey tie could look great. Also, you can spruce up the look by wearing brown shoes rather than the typical black (just make sure your belt coordinates with that). What you really want to nail is the fit though. Even the most aesthetically pleasing shirt/tie combo would be ruined if the sizing is off. Department stores like Macy's have shirt/tie combos which most likely won't give a great fit but you can get some ideas of what looks good with your particular suit. Here's a link to a GQ summer wedding guide.

thx a lot for the answer concerning the suit its slim fitted dark blue the wedding im only going to the late diner/afterparty during the evening it's gonna be in downtown Paris and i was thinking about a dark blue shirt with a black tie and black shoes simple but classy i think...or maybe not lol 

I wouldn't wear that combination. You'll look like a sunburnt Smurf. My recommendation would be a crisp white shirt with a nice slim grey plaid tie.

Here's another picture:

@ some of the guys in the pic.

Topman carries these sweatpants, check their web shop.

I disagree with RFX on this one. Both khaki and navy blue are more classic/versatile than true camel (how many brands even make camel trench coats?). Camel should be reserved for an overcoat. Regarding your question, you can't go wrong with either, but I'd go with the navy for your first trench.

[armenexchange]

ps. picked up these nike toki x steven alans in the front row, all 3 colors and not sure what kind of pants/colors to wear em with.

lol first pair of non sneakers/full dress shoes ive bought so lost at this.

 

[that kid daniel]

any dope brands at Nordstroms? I have a 20% discount there and I decided I should take advantage.

 

[caerus]

Went into H&M & saw this Varsity Jacket everyone's been talking about. Last one left in the store so said $+*! it. Planning on taking the M off...VERY nice fit. Just my style:

 

[throwedindagame]

Anybody else in corporate america notice that traditional spread collars are getting phased out?

I swear everyone is doing cutaway collars now.

Point=>Spread=> Cutaway =>??? %#+! just keeps getting wider and wider lol.
BTW for those of you looking for suits, I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT YOU GO THE BESPOKE ROUTE.

If you're in NYC or plan to take a trip there, you can find a lot of bespoke suits for under $600.

Fit>

they have nudies, naked and famous if youre into selvedge and premium denim, they also have great work/dressier lines like hugo boss, john varvatos, canali, zegna, and armani. suits are pretty nice too. calibrate and 1901 are private labels and make some more affordable modern clothes. 

enjoy the discount. the anniversary sale is when to take advantage. its all the fall product marked down plus your discount 

btw whats a good combination (shirt, shoes) to wear with grey chinos?
