Until recently everyone in management at work was allowed to wear anything we wanted as long as it was "nice". Now they have decided they want all of us in black polo's and khaki pants.
My question is what color shoes/belt? My instinct is they have to both be black, but are brown acceptable now too since the clothing is black and brown?
I'll be honest - i'm not sure the protocol these days - but I almost always wear black and black regarding belt/shoes. I don't tinker w/ brown, hardly ever. Most do though and I understand that. [Reply]
So my favorite men's store had a moving sale recently where they put pretty much everything on the floor for $50 per item. I racked up:
Billy Reid G/D Slim Jeans
Naked and Famous Elephant Denim (22oz)
Rogue Territory Stanton Jeans
Grenson Grover Boots
The Billy Reid jeans are goddamned luxurious. Very slim, but they have a bit of stretch in them, so they're really comfortable. Also, the only person who will appreciate or care about this would be Reaper16, but I was able to go to the Billy Reid Shindig this year at Blackberry Farm. Got to meet the man himself and hang with him a bit. [Reply]

I remember historic talks of him and I remember Reaper and your previous talks. I believe he's based out of Alabama - Actually, believe it or not; I've seen some of his stuff at TJ Maxx - which certainly isn't an insult, I remember liking it, but it wasn't available in my size. I'm not too hot on those skinny pants, I can understand their appeal - they just don't work on me, as well. I have some that fairly narrow cut in the legs. I don't really own any skinny pants though.

Having trouble finding exactly what I want, so reaching out to the hive.
I wear flat hem button downs for work. The kind meant to be worn untucked (it's a personal issue; basically I'm self-conscious about my dialysis port showing, and tucking in shirts pronounces it).
I have a ton of short sleeve shirts like tihs, and want/need some long sleeve versions, but it's tough as shit finding them (Carhartt has a bunch, but they seem kinda like rugged outdoor shirts, and I work in an office).
Untuckit.com has a slew, but they're all like $90+, which is more than I care to spend per shirt.

Those first jeans are ****ing awful, but everything else looks cool [Reply]
