Right now I do this: 1. In the dressier case, I wear a fitted dress shirt underneath. No tie. 2. In a more casual sense, I wear a polo under the sweater (not sure about this one). 3. When I am not at work, and it is 50-60 degrees outside, just a t-shirt under the V-neck (also not sure about this one ^^ ). Any thoughts? I try to stay away from anything non V-neck because it looks too constraining. Also, I work in a pretty casual work environment. Dress pants and polo shirt are the norm. | ||

Dress pants and polo shirt are the norm. 1- Classic look and a winner when done right 2- Defiantly can be done, might look better with a quarter zip sweater opposed to a v neck sweater something like this maybe: http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11872741 3- I would avoid it although there are way worse things you could do. If its 50-60 out just wear a nice button up, no sweater. Maybe if you want to layer with a sweater vest if you are feeling preppy. @JEG they are like a wing tip bucks combo kinda cool. I like the navy the most. | ||

Things are starting to run out (I got the last pair of chinos and the last jacket), so if youre looking for some really great deals on some nice stuff check it out! Also read the reviews, as it seems some of the sizing varies based on the item. Their return policy is great though! | ||

I actually just got home from shopping and I picked up a pair. they're not really skinny ( in [southern]california, skinny jeans are pretty normal so 511s are extremely baggy compared to what I'm used to) but they simply don't look baggy on your legs. Wonderful, really. need to get them hemmed though | ||

As far as shirts go, look for "sport shits" opposed to "dress shirts" because as a general rule sport shirts are meant to be worn untucked and dress shirts are meant to be tucked. Check out the lands-end canvas sale, some good stuff, and nice return policy. Thanks, will do. ^^ | ||

You can also wear a tie with this to dress it up a bit further if you like. A skinnier tie works better and make sure the colors work. 2. I don't think polos play well with others. If you're wearing a short sleeve polo shirt, it should be warm enough that you don't need a sweater. The collar on most polos doesn't hold up well to being worn with a sweater/blazer, and the fabric/construction of most does not lend itself to compliment other items. I'm not saying you CAN'T do this...but I wouldn't. 3. This is just fine! T-shirts layer very easily, and you don't have to worry about the color getting splayed out or squished from the collar of your sweater. In fact, I would say that a high quality wool sweater + crew neck (plain, solid) t-shirt qualifies as business casual. | ||

But why is it that everyone that's into fashion seems to hate black for some reason? -.- Because black doesn't pair well with every colour, doesn't look nice on everyone, and more often looks boring than clean.  People choose black because they think it's a "safe" choice. It's chosen so that you don't have to make decisions on colour. Try eliminating all black items from your wardrobe and you'll eventually find yourself wearing far more interesting and better looking combinations than before. | ||

I don't think people in fashion "hate" black; it's just some people tend to overdo it. I wouldn't get rid of every black item in your wardrobe, there are some timeless fashion staples that no wardrobe is complete without in both men's and women's fashion (think a little black dress for women and a pair of black cap-toe balmorals for men). And don't EVER buy (or rent, for that matter) a tuxedo in any color other than black or very very dark navy. Suits should typically be subdued in color, but you have more freedom to add some personality here via socks, ties, and pocketsquares. Less formal than that and you are pretty much unrestriced, so don't limit yourself! | ||

As someone who is currently working in silicon valley as a software engineer, I can assure you that fashion and style greatly vary depending on your position and field. There was just a WSJ article about how engineers in silicon valley judge who is fashionable by the flashiness of their socks, believe it or not. The article was a bit contrived and doesn't really hold true in terms of who is in the 'in' crowd, but it had a good point. People in San Francisco and south bay in the engineering fields don't really dress up, and it's a bit of an oddity to see someone wearing a tie. Casual dress shirts with jeans, blazers, and nicer shoes (but not always formal shoes) are usually the way you'll see the better dressed managers and execs. I'm personally a fan of mixing up casual buttons ups along with polos and some nicer shoes. Granted, on lazy days I'll just come in wearing a t-shirt from college, but there are a lot of options available for people. From what I've heard from my friends in other industries, the workplace is slowly becoming more casual, which makes life easier for wearing what you wore to work out to the bars afterwards. | ||

I just bought a grey JCrew Peacoat and it looks fucking great (It would on anyone, I'm an average looking d00d) I however need some tips on what kind of pants and shirt to wear with said coat, and also shoes. Can we talk about shoes for a second? I need a sick pair of shoes that look fly, go with a peacoat, and would look fashionable at bars. (Also is a size 15) PMs / Replys are appreciated, I'm a young professional with no style : / | ||

(Also is a size 15) PMs / Replys are appreciated, I'm a young professional with no style : / You can wear almost anything for pants with a grey pea-coat. Jeans (dark is good), chinos, wool trousers. The only thing I would avoid would be something that is to similar in color, monochromatic looks can be pulled off but its harder. Shirts with the pea-coat, get some nice button downs, maybe a v-neck or quarter zip sweater or two. Shoes you can almost never go wrong with brown leather shoes, avoid rubber soles, the soles should be stitched to the shoe not glued. One thing I'd note about shoes is buy quality which will look better and last longer, and will also be repairable. Cry once about the cost, and enjoy them for 10 years with a few resoles, instead of buying new shoes every year or two. You say your a young professional, what industry do you work in? whats the dress code like? Whats the least formal thing you could get away with wearing at work? And what is the most formal thing you'd feel comfortable wearing at work without being overdressed? @Cambium I'm not sure if I understand you. Why would you get brand new shoes resoled? | ||
