Date: September 8th, 2010 11:15 PM Author: Maroon appetizing striped hyena gaping everything can be had at BB. even the cheaper "BB" brand shoes are similarly priced to AE and of similar quality. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1418315&forum_id=2#15999874) |

Date: September 8th, 2010 11:23 PM Author: curious round eye Link to comparably priced BB shoes? All I see is Peal & Co shoes that cost > $500. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1418315&forum_id=2#15999962) |

Date: September 8th, 2010 11:27 PM Author: Maroon appetizing striped hyena gaping You're right man, the BB brand is like just under $400. Check under "Dress Calfskin."
Also, they're having a sale:

Just picked up myself a pair of Peal & Co penny loafers for 50% off at $244, which I guess are now sold out. But there are others if you can find your size. |

Date: September 8th, 2010 11:30 PM Author: curious round eye Fair enough. The only thing decent in the clearance section is the monk strap, but I wouldn't get that as a first or second pair of dress shoes.
I think AE's are generally a better deal for someone who's building up a wardrobe. This is especially the case if you can get them on sale or snag some solid looking seconds from an outlet. |

Date: September 8th, 2010 11:17 PM Author: cyan rigpig becky xoxo wisdom says: just wear a 2 button solid navy blue/charcoal single breasted suit with side vents with black leather shoes with wooden soles, black belt, white/light blue shirt, no cuffs on the pants, flat front or single pleated, a tie with muted colors with a conservative pattern. only button top button. wear socks that transition between the shoes and color of the suit. and get the tailoring done until it's right.
i know basically nothing about fashion and manage to objectively outdress over half the people in a room, even when their clothes are more expensive. |

Date: September 8th, 2010 11:26 PM Author: curious round eye I think single pleat -> cuffs, but you should only go with pleats if you're chunky. Otherwise credited. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1418315&forum_id=2#15999988) |

Date: September 8th, 2010 11:32 PM Author: cyan rigpig becky yeah, the whole double-breasted, doublepleats, cuffed thing just seems to call attention to the fat and make a round/blocky frame even blocker rather than hide it. i never understood that logic but you can't argue with tradition (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1418315&forum_id=2#16000051) |

Date: September 8th, 2010 11:34 PM Author: curious round eye You might be right. But pleats generally don't look great on skinny people either. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1418315&forum_id=2#16000071) |
