Hmmmmm dunno if I can pull off these kinds of boots anymore... but damn thats a nice deal. Not only that, it'd come out of my Allen Edmond 'Strand' fund.

Can't recommend Alpha Khakis enough. They are great, modern-fit khakis. I love the one pair I just bought last week and will be keeping an eye out for sales. I want all the colors!

The pants I'm wearing are just Dockers. I've never really liked jeans, I prefer the looser fit of dress pants. If we leave jeans out, what would be a good pant to get? I saw these the other day:
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=23072309
Really liked them. I guess they would fit a little more snug then my typical $30 Dockers?
and yea the polo is probably a size too large. I have a tattoo on my right arm above the elbow, and I guess I've always since then tended to buy bigger shirts to try and cover it up a bit. I think I either need to get the tat removed, add to the tat so it doesnt look so weird by itself, or try to find more long sleeve styles I can wear.
and..... should I just bic it? I buzzed my head this morning and it's pretty obvious that I'm balding. If I let it grow a little bit, it's not so obvious, but I'm thinking I should maybe just bic it as I will probably have to in a few years anyways and maybe I should get used to it.
How is it obvious you're balding? Looks like a normal mature hairline to me.
Check out fred perry shoes
Although the ones I wear with shorts are usually lighter in color and have those summer patterns on them (I'm sure they have dark versions of the shoes as well tho)

I tried these at Macy's yesterday and I just don't get the taper. The top half was really nice, just like jeans. The bottom half was skin tight around my calves and ankles.
Cool, they have a shop in Toronto. I'll make sure to check it out next time I'm there.
Depends on your style. Personally got these, which I think work really well:

Downside is that the color doesn't match dark jeans, which makes them a bit situational for me.
The other shoes that are linked here seem great as well.

sufu? yeah, I wouldn't bother posting there tbh, unless your rep is already high, you just want to troll, post pictures, or you joined before 2008.

Yeah it was sufu. I mostly just lurk.
Try some Dockers D1 then, those are straight past the knee instead of taper like Alpha.

How much they running for?
Also, does it seem like not enough trousers/pants/chinos have rounded under-crotch areas? I swear some pants make a pretty unsightly and distinct V shape where the legs meet at the crotch. Is it a sign of cheap clothing? Or am I imagining things?

Anywhere from 60-90 I believe. They also have some real nice casual dress pants.
Also, some new shirts to judge

Guy on the left wins it. You want to wear a short-sleeve buttoned all the way up like that, it's gotta be something bold and fun. Dude in the blue shirt looks like a total Poindexter.

I think Uniqlo destroys them, but I know that Uniqlo is still limited to NYC in the States for now and no online store. Although you can try a proxy service like SuddenLee.
Yeah, sufu is a big circlejerk. Not bad for lurking, though.

Yeah, he looks he's cutting off air supply with that shirt. I don't know what I'm gonna do when these two guys are out of the playoffs and not wearing hilarious stuff.

I think the Spurs will take it, but I wouldn't be surprised if OKC were to prevail.
Okay so, I got myself a light-grey blazer with black buttons and I'm looking for an advice on how to wear it (color combinations mainly, excluding the obvious white + black, something a bit more fun I guess), any kind of help or recommendations are welcome 
The blazer is similar to one this guy is wearing (random google picture):

A really light grey like that goes well with soft pastels (in limited doses: you don't want to end up looking too Miami Vice), but also darker reds like brick or maroon, bright greens, light and mid-caramel browns, all sorts of blues, some metallic tones... Just don't get too hung up on following the "rules." If there's a color you're not entirely sure about, use it as an accent or on an accessory.

It's not my fault you have such expensive designer taste, friend. Asos is for the COMMON MAN.
...and I still can't afford to buy anything even with the sale. ;_;

hah, I buy cheap stuff, just nothing at asos really gels with what I wear outside of super basic things that I can get locally. I do need a suit tho, since I don't have one that fits right now ;_;

For fun, I did a macuser-esque search on Asos for black, white or grey clothes in a slim, small size and there were only like six pairs of pants and nothing else. Hah!

haha see!?
and I wear specific shades of brown and blue, too.

You had my back on the boat shoe issue, but then you spit in my face by propagating the drop crotch scourge, Al.

I'll never comprehend spending that much on a shirt, let alone a fucking polo. Picked up an awesome tank last weekend with almost that exact same gradient-style coloring for $5.

Tisci is one of the most uneven designers out there. Sometimes great, usually awful. Lately almost always awful. :/
