cool, would they work to dress up an otherwise pretty casual look then? like shirt, jeans, brogues and sports coat/blazer?
Oh god what've you done
I wouldnt call shirts, brogues and blazer "pretty casual" haha. That's smart to me. Knit ties belong in the smart/casual though so you're in the right zone.
My preference is to have a blazer that isn't too structured or too "smooth". The clash between the rough knit tie and a smooth shirt and blazer is really weird to me.

haha sorry, because of where i work smart is suit, tie and oxfords/derbies and anything less is just varying degrees of casual. thanks for the advice though, square and knit ties are completely alien to me
lounge - casual - smart casual - business casual - business formal
That's my personal spectrum of dress.
An easy pairing is a knit tie with an oxford cotton button down. Instant awesomeness. Pair it with a cardigan, rough weave blazer, or any damn decent jacket you will please (or nothing at all).
Note to self: I will not buy another shirt until I buy more OCBDs.

They're pretty popular right now. I don't own any myself, but I agree with Boken in that they're a good way of dressing down what would be a more formal look.
Untuck the pants and it's a great fit.Posted the same pic here a while back, but here is mine:
I rarely wear it, mainly because it doesn't really fit into my usual style but once in a while it's kinda nice to change it up a bit and try something different, something a bit more wild and unorganized.

Anyone have decent suggestions for briefcases/messenger bags? I travel for work and I feel like such a dumbass being in business formal with a backpack but it's the only thing that can carry work laptop, some files/binders, iPad and other personal things. I have a black briefcase (albeit dated one) that I use at the regular office but would like something that would work in all situations an preferably with any color choice as I often wear black, brown and grey suit pants. Price range of $300 to $500 which I know probably doesn't help my situation but can't justify anything more at the moment.

Holy. Those Saddleback ones are nice. I hate that my work computer is a clunky Dell otherwise I would go with Satchel size as it fits my iPad and MacBook. I think I'll look into them a it more to see exactly but works bu man those things are hot.
Anyone hav suggestions on briefcase colors that work best for all suit colors?

I might be shit outta luck on those vintage Dior loafers I posted a couple days back. They're a lot bigger than I had initially realized, and insoles and heel grips aren't doing jack. I can stuff the toe but that's a little uncomfortable. I'm a little choked 'cause I was so stoked on these shoes; last time I say "fuck it" and but something without much thought.
What size are they? The cost wasn't that much compared to the potential reward. I think you made the right choice.
It's true, the only thing stopping me from being actually really upset is that both pairs were only $25 each. They're supposed to be a 7, though they seem more like an 7.5, or more probably an 8. Then again sizing changes over the years too.
I just never seem to have any luck when it comes to thrifting or buying used.
On another note I totally want these shoes. Don't even care what people think.

Those are ridiculous but in the unlikely situation someone actually pulls them off I bet they'd look awesome.

You don't, that's the magic!
You should totes cop those.
I'm leaning towards the zebra print, only because it's mostly black, and therefore more neutral and easier to incorporate. I'm thinking of saying "fuck it" and going with the leopard print ones, though.
It's just a matter of everything coming together naturally on it's own man

You should have a few beers and see how you feel. You'll probably end up going with the wilder choice and be happy with it.

Saw a couple of Asian dudes at school wearing something similar, and they even had tiger tails on the back. Y'know... they were actually pulling it off. I was impressed.
These are amazingly rad.

Yeahhhhh! 135AUD shipped from Black Sheep Road.
Amazingly good price for Folks. I still assert that they're the nicest casual-come-formal shoe in existence.
I don't drink so take those beers for me yo

Meant more for cold winters as they have a grey woolen padding inside and are REALLY warm. It's kinda neat as you can roll them down and change the look.
I think it has been more than 10 years now since I last wore a baseball cap, but I saw this one in a music video with "Dior Homie" written on front and actually thought it would be a cool novelty item to own and wear on rare occasions - was going to an extreme sport even that weekend and that would have been perfect for that. Unfonrtunately I found out it was custom made for the video and the only way to get one is to have one custom made for myself
Then, today, I saw this blog post:

Hey fashionGAF,
I am going to an underwear party in August and I was thinking about trying out a transparent mesh top. I was just wondering where I might find a yellow or green mesh shirt or tank top that kinda matches the trunks I plan on wearing below:
Or maybe let me know if this isn't the greatest idea.
