Seems to fit fine from the pics, Des. What don't you like about it?
To be honest, I rarely wear my tanks without something else to go with it, like a cardigan, denim jacket or a casual vest.

imo, tanks shouldn't be "fitted" like most of our shirts. Wear 'em loose and long-ish.
Grey goes with almost anything. The obvious black and white, soft pastels, darker reds like brick or maroon, bright greens, light and mid-caramel browns, all sorts of blues, some metallic tones, etc.
Blues and whites are my go-to's for gray pants. Pastel purple can also work pretty well.

Grapetastic!
Many Chinese consider black bad luck and dark blue and white are funeral colors, although you do sometimes see Chinese grooms wear white. Take my info with a grain of salt, though. I am not Chinese and was raised in the US.
Got a new suit in, a made to measure from a wool / cashmere bland. Endee up a bit more extravagant then expected (mostly because of the sheen of the cashmere), but that's allright as I will just wear it to weddings and other parties.
The suit is a mid grey tint, from what I've seen darker brown shoes seem to match it well. What would you guys recommend in color/style? Planning to pick something up today, was already looking at some nice brogues but ideas are welcome.

As mentioned above, black and white are traditionally funeral colors and are considered bad luck. Although with western influence, white has become acceptable for groom and bride only, I've also seen black suit on groom on occasion. You may want to try grey or charcoal jacket?
Jeezus, this is probably the first time I've heard of black as bad luck in Chinese culture... and I'm Chinese myself. Haven't gotten shit for it up until now.
Any recommendations on a grey blazer or dinner jacket, something I can get in a store? Like I said, I've been looking.
Oh, and thanks guys.

Saw Allen Edmonds and got excited... No 'Strand' on sale. : (
'Players' wingtip are nice though so now I'm torn. (Strand is better though)
How long is the sale?
No clue, but the AE sale is coming up this July and Strands are going to be $209.

Only with a suit IMO, chalk stripe works better for odd trousers.
Haven't signed on everlane in a minute. But those are adorable.
Go all out.
Is it wrong I just want to wear the top half with slim denim?

I figured i need new shoes for the office, as the one's i already had do look nice but are fairly uncomfortable.
Plus, i didn't want to wear my most expensive shoes 8h a day.
It`s funny that they almost look the same as my old pair, even tough i tried to pull a more fashionable look....
oh, and they where even costlier than my old pair, lol.

I wore a blue shirt this time and some leopard socks. Old man steeze
I want to wear the bottom half with a button up
Nice shoes are meant to be worn! If you are scared to wear something because you spent a lot of money on it, what good is it???

Well, i bought them to look good in a suit while i was applying for jobs, now i need them to stay in mint condition for an upcomming wedding.
Business shoes - serious Business.

Nah, a shirt like that needs dress shorts, white bucks, and a beaded anklet.
Gasp, a macuser outfit I approve of!
Was looking at some Crockett and Jones shoes online. Got to the store, saw them in person and decided that I would wait at least another decade before wearing those.
Got some pimp shoes instead:
These are on sale!:
This man is right!
Unbutton the bottom button, old man!

Please don't remind me of my failure to get a Marc Jacobs one when it was 80% off -_-

Could look good with a petrol blue at night or lighter grey sweaters and stuff during the day. I'm kind of the same way, I see nice ones and am tempted but I reality check it and have trouble justifying it in my closet.

You're all claiming to be xy fashionistas, and yet a simple, ridiculously versatile color defeats you every time. Astonishing!

Charcoal grey is a neutral, so you can go very fun and exciting with the pants. It'd be a great neutral to pair with the bright pants that are in trend this summer. For a work look, you could pull off a really daring tie. As far as jacket colors: brown, rust, burgundy, tan and other natural colors like that. Light grey should look okay. Not too sure about navy or black, especially for summer.

whats the protocol, if any, for prescription sunglasses?
as in where do I put the pair of glasses that I'm currently not wearing while i wear the other, because I foresee having to switch between glasses and sunglasses sometimes so I would need to carry both on me. Do I just hang the pair im not wearing around the collar of the shirt im wearing?
anyone else have a similar situation?

Bonobos has $50 off any purchase of $100 or more right now, ending June 25th. Works on everything including sales, accessories (Jack Spade bags for $120, etc).
They don't do this very often anymore, so you should definitely take advantage:

The leopard socks with those shoes/pants looks sick. Love it.
Get contacts.
Thanks for the heads up! I might get some shorts.
