The Allen Edmonds stuff is really nice. Buy the matching shoe polish and cleaning supplies if you don't already have them, and pick up some shoe trees/travel bags so they don't get scuffed.

Be careful with the polish on shoes that have contrast stitching like Rush Street.

I'd probably just grab the neutral polish for that particular shoe.

AE has a very good shoe care guide that includes every one of their shoes, which polish to use, which cleaner to use, which edge dressing to use etc. They also have videos. Just follow that shoe care guide on their site.

AE's Anniversary Sale is going on now!! wooooo

The Rush St are nice, but I want something even more casual, because I want to wear them with jeans, and a polo as well.

Clark Street - Split-toe Lace-up Oxford Men's Casual Shoes by Allen Edmonds
in the Natural chromexcel leather.

The Rush St dress down with jeans if you are wearing a sportcoat or something, but that's not how I dress down jeans. lol...

What are the best shirt/tie/square color combos to go with a really dark navy suit? Preferably not red, ain't looking for the power suit. My bright blue tie is way too bright for it and dark just blends in

I really like chambray ties. yes it's similar to denim but it's much finer and I actually dig the stiffness. The Chambray ties I own have threads of white in it which could offset the dark suit.

A silver/blue/yellow paisley tie with a white shirt, and white square with yellow trim or matching paisley.

I like patterned blue or purple to go with dark navy! Then you go the lighter brown belt + shoes, and you looking so good!!

I think I'm going to buy a few shirts from Indochino for the summer. Anyone have any experience using this website?

My friend bought a suit through them. They did a decent job with it. Fits very well.

what comfortable shoes does a good looking white boy wear with shorts?

May start a gofundme for tods loafers

Driving mocassins are also an option. Less versatile but can work well in many situations.

Depends on your style. For summer I just picked up a pair of J Crew Nike Killshots.

Dumb question...but I'm trying to buy a bunch of black dress socks for work, and I want to buy them online(because I'm too lazy to go to a store)

What do I need to look for in the description/materials if I want something that is really light and breathes well for summer/hot weather? I know I don't want some heavy wool socks, but should I be looking at cotton, some type of poly blend, or what?

I don't have a clue what my current socks are since socks have no tags and the original packaging is long gone, but they're worn out and need replacing.

Don't discount thin wool socks for summer. Unlike cotton the wool won't absorb your sweat it will naturally whick it away and then evaporation will cool your feet. Cotton will just absorb your sweat. But avoid wool blends. Wool tends to lose a bunch of it's properties when you introduce other fabrics in with it.

Or you can just buy thin poly socks which from my experience work fine in the summer. But I wear wool socks year round.

Did you go to an AE store?
