If you are looking for inexpensive sneakers type, any Jack Purcell, Stan Smith, Trentron, and Rockports.
For casual, bucks, desert boots, chukka shoes, or loafers (driving).

I wanted to buy jeans that fit similarly to 511's. Any advice?

Is there any tips on breaking in new dress shoes quickly? I've worn sneakers all my life and recently entered the corporate world. In short, my feet are killing me at the end of the day.

Go on JackThreads, they've been having nice cheap COMFORTABLE ones lately. I really liked them.

Don't buy the one's that look like knock-off vans though, they are the worst pieces of %#$ EVER! I swear it's not even cool.

Sup guys. It's been a minute. 

My grandmother passed away recently and the funeral was Saturday. 

They wanted the family to wear lighter colors...

Nice outfit Ace, sorry to hear about your Grandmother.

Can anyone identify these shoes (far left in the second pic)? or anyone know of anything similar with a flat sole like that?
Thanks in advance.

Well Dressed Men of NT,
I come with you with a dilemma....I have a wedding to attend in a few weeks and I need some opinions, being that it's my 1st one. I've been doing some research (kinda/sorta) because it will held during afternoon hours (about 3pm) and most websites are telling me I should be dressed semi-formal (after the wedding, we will be attending a dinner reception and some of us might head out to a bar after all is done).

I had the intention of wearing something similar to the following (I was planning to wear this to ensure I don't OD and spend $ on useless stuff): Pretty much same kind of shoes/tweed blazers like those below and MAYBE that polo vest..All which I already own

     

The Blazers are/should match the shoes being that they are pretty much the same brownish color, but the question I pose to you is this: I am going overboard?...Should I just rent a reg tux/suit and be like the rest of the "lames" at the wedding? And if its not overdoing it, what type of pants should I wear with the outfit.  I'm planning to wear the vest,  but have no idea what shirt/tie (white/?) to wear under or if should even bother with it altogether (that is, if the attire is appropriate for the wedding)....Any help/insight will help and sorry for the format of this post...trying to get those people who don't read  W.O.Ts (being that this is NT) to respond too 

 ....Thanks

^^^It's the summer, so I don't think you should be layering with a sweater vest, and I'm not sure if you'll want to wear tweed either. I also don't think you should rent a tux, and you would be better off buying a suit (basic charcoal grey or navy) if you chose to go that route.

I'm not all that stylish or adventurous, but I honestly can't envision an outfit involving a tweed blazer at a wedding. Not sure if other folks have recommendations...

I have to agree. Honestly, I think that's over doing it.  Just get you a khaki suit, you can wear a denim shirt with a tie and desert boots.  Do not rent a tux.

Your cuts look clean as hell. Pants have great break, shirt is not overflowing, jacket looks proportionate (although I'm really bad at telling how jackets should fit...I hate wearing jackets). Your tailor puts in work.

Overall, I think it's a good look but the proportions are off.  Top button of his jacket is practically at his beltline.
