For shoveling snow GB?

boots with zippers? actually any footwear with zippers is a bad call, imo...

This is the best look, although it is a bit "dandy" with the cuffs and hemline so high above the shoe tops.Anyway, I ordered 5 pairs of shoes, none of them ankle boots. Four of them are brown, and the other is black, which is my fallback. I'll post pics of the shoes with the suits and you guys can let me know if it looks good or not.

Serious question urbanhack...did you buy these for everyday wear or just in rough terrain type of weather? I just bought a pair similar to these (black though), but basically to wear to plow through the snow during our rough winters.

I'm going to agree with Beau Bummer on this one. Brown shoes do not go with black or gray suits/slacks.

I think the only way to pull of light brown shoes with a suit is if you're a real dandy and you have a very fitted suit with a higher him (similar to a previous pic). It's good schtick on occasion but definitely not something I'd try on the reg. I let me suit do the talking. I think the light brown thing is either "hey, look at me guys. I know :style:". The boring blue suit with brown shoes says " I don't have a clue and I've given up".

I like the look of these (not sure if I can pull off the blue laces). Living down south, so I dont think there is a store with these available. Do they run small/large? My shoe size is a half size so should I round up or down?

not everyone agrees. Those are pretty cool looking, but are boots like that going to be a business wardrobe staple 7 years from now?You should get these instead. Remember brown shoes are so 5 years ago.
The more traditional and mainstream, the better. My clients and peers would laugh if I come across looking like a squirrely fashionista wannabe.
Any of you guys buying that bow ties are back? http://www.gq.com/style/wear-it-now/201011...z-beatz#slide=1

Nothing against Browne but you can get a similar look for a lot less here http://www.zappos.com/product/7737411/color/72JYou should get these instead. Remember brown shoes are so 5 years ago.

Joe> I would stay away from bow ties if I was you. GQ has touted many a 'comeback' that never materialized. There are perhaps two occasions for a bow tie I can think of:
1) Summer wedding
2) Black tie
It should go without saying, but it you do still choose to go down that path, at least make sure it is hand tied

Aldo shoes are pretty crappily made. Decent for a year of wearing but after that will start to show some pretty good wear and tear which you don't want in a nice dress shoe (threading unraveling, sole worn down, heavy wrinkle marks, etc.). But, decent if you wanna give the boots look a try for a decent price.Nothing against Browne but you can get a similar look for a lot less here http://www.zappos.com/product/7737411/color/72JYou should get these instead.

If you're a really cool rockstar who you can get away with a bowtie. Or just about anything. But very, very, VERY few people can pull off that look. For the most part it makes you look like like some ridiculous liberal arts professor.

I think these all look awful. The suits would look much better with black shoes. If you want to stand out and be kooky, wear colored socks.

Going with the Hugo Boss Claude I linked to earlier. It's a dark, chocolate brown color that I think works well with both suits I own.

Good for special occasions (holiday/theme parties) but that's about it IMO. The people that wear this stuff to work or a night out are trying too hard IMO. However, it is good peacocking material. Teh wimmenz will approach.

If you're a confident guy just about anything will work. This past weekend I wore a big fake mustache. I was shocked at the number of women (and dudes
) who came up to me to talk about that thing.
I'm sure there are plenty out there with leather soles. Good luck."Man-made sole"looking for leather soles.Nothing against Browne but you can get a similar look for a lot less here http://www.zappos.com/product/7737411/color/72JYou should get these instead. Remember brown shoes are so 5 years ago.

What's the backstory here Doc?
The Z Machine
Footballguy
Agreed. I don't even wear one with my tux (usually).

Not sure there's much of a backstory. I'm just a goofy fun loving attention whore. I spent a quarter on a fake mustache and wore it that night for laughs. I saw an old friend that night and we partied hard...when I woke up around noon the next day I realized that thing was still plastered on there. I only had a few hours until dinner with different friends, so I kept it going. Towards the end of the night it started hurting but in the name of shtick I was determined to keep it on a few hours more. We went to the bar next door to the restaurant and I was floored by the number of chicks who just came up and grabbed it or said/asked me about it. One chick just came up and started talking to me...not two minutes later it was a full makeout session. I let her rip it off if she'd give me a kiss.
I got 5 or so #'s that night. 
My looks are pretty average and I'm not as stylish as you folk. But I've worn all kinds of crazy stuff. I don't do it to pick up chicks but because it's funny and causes some laughs. The wimmens are a bonus. I've worn some extremely colorful jackets, an oversized bowtie, a monkey hand puppet, a fake rubber hand, a giant party hat, nerd glasses, and the biggest gimmick of all, a crazed wig. I would sometimes bring a bag of suckers and shout "Lollipops for everybody!" That seems to work incredibly well. I can't remember everything I did but it really was for shtick...but the women - they love shticks. If you're the quiet type just wearing a suit is a 
move. I've done that a few times. I used to have women randomly grab me in the bars and exclaim "Omg, my friend took a picture with you last week! Can we take a picture with you?!" And from there they'd usually buy me a drink and many a nights I hooked up with random chick. I got more booze/attention than all but the hottest of women. It becomes a feeding frenzy. People would always drag me out to the bars because I managed to quickly gather a following or would always find the after hours party. And because I had so many groupies other folk saw me with a crowd and the cycle just fed into itself. It was fun for a few years but then I fell into a relationship. I recently broke up and have slowly started going back out. Doesn't seem to be as much fun this time around. I think I'm getting old.
