Seems pretty rediculous to me. Quality shoes will come with quality soles, seems pointless to put new ones on. Cheap shoes aren't worth resoling anyway. | ||

regardless how 'quality' your shoes are, your leather soles will get ruined if you walk on wet salted roads... | ||

For normal rain a good wax job and an umbrella will keep your shoes sufficiently dry, warm, and cozy. If you have to wear a suit while trudging through snow or something like that I'm sure no one will fault you for wearing some rubber overshoes or boots while you are in the elements and removing them when you get inside. Like these. Regardless rubber soled footwear usually looks pretty tacky with a nice suit, I don't recommend it. | ||

Thats what Galoshes are for @Neo I do not know what is available in London, but if your thighs and ass are big compared to your waist look for a tapered opposed to a straight leg jean. Tapered jeans taper from the knee down allowing the thighs to be larger without having the calf and ankle area be way to big. | ||

I would try levis, 511, don't be afraid of the name skinny jean it is not at and emo skinny jean, its just a slim fit jean made for smaller people. The next step up would be the 513 then 514. Finally the 520, and 521. If I were you I'd go to a store and start with the 511, and work your way up from there. If you can't find one of the options in your size you can always order online from a place with a good return policy like zappos. 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. @Statis, I like US style but I'm a traditionalist. I could see the Korean style working for some people, as long as you realize it is much more casual, and don't try to dress it up or anything, but for jeans like you say, I think either one could work. @Jonte, read the tag but most likely your jacket is dry clean only, if it is don't try anything fancy just bring it in and get it dry cleaned. The same applies to your jacket and dress pants. As far as removing hair and other things between cleaning get yourself a lint roller. As far as how often to get your clothes dry cleaned, only as needed, I think most people do it more often then needed, dry cleaning is hard on clothes, so you should really do it only when hanging the clothes for 24 hours wont remove the smells anymore or there are stains. just thought i'd add onto this post. i have personal experience with all of those levis fits and as far as "skinnyness" goes, it'd probably go something like this: 511 (skinniest) -> 520/521 (very similar. basically 514 thighs with a 511 ankle) -> 513 -> 514. as far as "fit" goes (how good they look), my personal preference would be 521 (best) -> 511 -> 513 -> 514 -> 520 (only putting this one at the end because it's the one i'm least experienced with). i've never seen 514's look great on anyone. to me, they're the type of jean for a guy who wants to look okay without worrying too much, if that makes sense. | ||

And as a more general question, are characters from TV shows generally good guidelines for dress? It would make sense since the actors have professionals picking out their outfit. | ||
