Thanks for the responses. I'm looking for something a bit like this.
I know the above is using magnetic collar stays. I've had a look at the hidden button down collar and that's also pretty much what I'm after. They seem harder to get (I'll have a proper look later) so I will go with magnetic stays for now and see how they work.
The reason I'm asking in general is cos I don't always wear a tie to work but I hate the flappy and open collar look.

I wouldn't buy those caterpillar boots; on a quick browse of other boots I think the doc martens and the supra boots look good.
also, since we are on page two of cufflinks, I think I might get these for my upcoming soiree

Is BOY the most overpriced/worst value label ever?
I constantly see people walking around in crappy black t shirts and baseball caps with nothing but "BOY" printed in low quality block lettering.
It's like, I get it when it's band merch or something, supporting your new obsession with some cheap tatt with their name emblazoned on it.
But a clothing label? It's like saying, "man, I love these guys with zero imagination/personality and a penchant for cheap, poor quality materials."
I just don't get it.

Something like this:
I am very boring these days. Also very tacky; visited the Barker Black site three times last month.

there was a guy at my high school in like seventh grade who would walk around in pyrex. he looked like a fool.
on the topic of women and clothing, i find that clothing doesn't really matter that much. i've seen well dressed guys get with hot girls, poorly dressed guys get with hot girls. i find that getting with girls is more about personality than anything.
though having a high initiative modifier always helps.

the only pair of cufflink i bought this year (but god i dig them)
and a pair of selvedge denim from Smith Wykes
which is kind of weird because i'm leaving my quiet casual banking back-office operation to be consultant with lots of client facing duties and won't have that much opportunities to rock them.

Just another case of crazy bam bam wearing some outlandish outfit. I mean, black and white what's he gonna do next.
My bf of two months went from wearing his torn hurley shorts/plaid shirtds/bleached comic tshirts to wearing hm/hilfigher/ and refuses wearing certain items because it makes him look like a hipster. I told him he's no longer allowed to wear it while with me. If he cant put the effort to look nice, then that's a big problem. Even at his work, people have noticed his style change. We couldnt enter at a club because he had converse on.

I am looking for black shoes that would go well with jeans. They can be pretty dressy and uncomfortable. I really wanna impress in college and I heard that shoes are the base for every outfit so I am willing to pay around 100-150 dollars.I am a size 12 if that helps. Thanks guys

Saw those cufflinks with one of my friends, and they look really good.
Don't buy, they look like hot garbage and etc.
Hey man, that's trying too hard, pls stahp.
Those are some really nice shoes, where are they from?

the first should be fine; agree that the second are a bit off. with skinny jeans i'd go with flat soled sneakers, vans halfcabs and ludlows would be a good choice. there is also a brand on yoox called '8', guess it's their private label, but there are some cool sneakers on there for around $100

you can also look at brands like the aforementioned 8, thompson, florsheim imperial, etc on there for stuff around that price.
Got my Ziggy Zwag today.
I want that jacket.

Yeah, that jacket is quite cool. Those trousers are awful though.
But is the rough finishing intentional? Every garment I've seen by him almost seems to have been hacked rather than cut; tatty edges, seams that don't quite meet up, etc.
I'm looking at vans halfcabs, I really like the look of their range of shoes.
Looking for some boot recommendations. They will be worn quite a bit and during winter time especially. I live in Pittsburgh, so winters can get pretty bad here with snow/salt. I want something that would look good with a nice pair of jeans too.
Right now I'm looking at the LL Bean Katahdin
And the Chippewa Homestead/Apache GQ Boot
Anyone have any experience with Chippewa boots. I would like something made in the US if possible. I also like the Iron Rangers, but they are above what I'm willing to spend right now. I almost bought the Wolverine 1k that were on sale at Nordstom but recent talk about their quality hasn't been the best. Also the sole doesn't matter as I can get that adjusted to be more weather friendly at the local cobbler by my house.

The ends are seamed and not raw cut.
Well I guess I partly answered my own question above about the boots. Went to LL Bean and tried on the Katahdins. Loved the fit after finding the proper size but did not care for the color at all. Looked nothing like the picture on the website. Since they are made by Chippewa, I decided to order the Homestead boot in "sundance riptide" color. I think I should be happy with these, they seem to get some love on the styleforums, so we will see when they come in. Probably the most I've spent on a pair of boots, but I'm looking forward to wearing these forever lol.

you'd probably be safe with something shit-kicky like chippewa, especially if you're trudging through snow and shit. they look like they're meant to be abused.
re: all black hi chucks; not really a fan of the black canvas on those, but I generally default to white/white for chucks so you might ignore my opinion anyway. you could certainly do much worse.

how moderate is moderate? are we talking sub $100 or $100-$200?

i guess levis then? sub $50 doesn't give me much to work with.
Levi's unless you can find some killer sales on stuff online. I know people here don't like them, but you can also probably find some good deals on skinny jeans from gap if you wait for sales(I think they have 35% off right now). I've been able to get a couple pairs of their raw denim/selvedge jeans for less than $50 with coupons and the quality really isn't that bad for the price.
Yeah that's why I decided to go with them. Everything I've seen indicates they are quality and well made and will last a seriously long time if properly taken care of. Definitely can't wait for them to come in now. It's kind of funny to us the word shit kicky to describe $260 boots, at least to me, but yeah I want to see what kind of character they develop after putting them through some wear. I honestly don't think there's anything better than a well aged and worn boot.

EVOL, that jacket is pretty badass, it looks like samurai armour or something. Not sure I'd wear it, but I can appreciate the aesthetics.
Grey jeans are awesome, so versatile. They can look really smart with the right footwear but suit casual outfits well too.

Chippewa was a good buy for some made in the USA, casual work boots. I've got some Aldens and they're gorgeous, but the quality control is not fantastic for the cost and I'm too nervous with them on to really stomp around in the much. You might want to give Red Wing a try next time. They're more expensive than Chippewas but there are a lot 2nds sales from time to time.
It's one of those things that I think looks really good in pictures and in controlled situations but would look ridiculous in real life. Pretty interesting jacket though, that's for sure
