Lenticular_J Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Banana Republic is good at sweaters. And chinos. The rest of their stuff, you could do better with J. Crew. Sometimes the two are interchangeable in my eyes ... catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Lets get back on topic now... I need some advice for buying dress shoes. My current ones are horrible and I can't wear normal shoes to a formal event, so I think it's time to get a new pair. Since I can't afford any designer brands or anything, I just want some advice on what to look for when shopping. Like what color, shape, material, that kind of stuff. Also, if anyone could point me in a good direction to start, I would appreciate it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenticular_J Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Go to Goodwill. Look for good shoes. Allen Edmonds (pretty much THE American shoe brand) shoes can be found at so many stores because of how many people don't understand that shoes are an investment. It depends on what you wear to these formal events. I'd look for black or brown, simple oxfords (cap-toe, plain-toe, or wingtips because they are fun) depending on what your formalwear colors are. Generally these shoes need a polish, sometimes they will need a bit of handiwork, but a cobbler could rebuild one of those shoes (and give them an incredible shine) for 70 dollars or so. Paying a total of 80 dollars for shoes that look brand-new (and likely cost in the $300 range brand-new) is an invigorating feeling. I would replace the laces, though. They generally look too ... Just, bad. They also get covered with polish, which makes them nasty. Leather laces the same color as the shoe are a good idea, I bet. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Ok, I'll just have to search around for a good deal then, since even $80 is still a lot to me, since I'm, well, poor. I'll also post pictures for your approval before I buy anything, since I don't really trust my own fashion sense when it comes to shoes. Thanks for the help.

Lenticular_J Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 That would be if the shoe needs entirely reconstructed. Which it won't. You probably won't pay more than the eight dollars or so at the store. You won't have time to ask for opinions, though. You'll just need to snatch the deal up. Bring someone with a fair style, or at least a good idea of your style. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I'm sure you'll pick decent things. My one tip would be to make they have leather uppers and inners. That does go without saying really, just double check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zygimantas Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Date is wearing purple dress for homecoming. I was considering wearing a purple tie with a black shirt, but I don't know if that would look good or not.... :unsure: 99 Hunter - November 1st, 200899 Cooking -July 22nd, 200999 Firemaking - July 29th, 201099 Fletching - December 30th, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenticular_J Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I hate the idea of matching your date (colorwise). I hate girls' concept of "matching" in high school, too, while I'm on that subject. Contrast is far more interesting. And I dunno if girls who will only wear nike shorts, a t-shirt and flip-flops (with hair in a ponytail) should be criticizing other girls that at least make an effort. catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I find that unless you get the exact colour matched, it looks off and wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zygimantas Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Well I can match and contrast at the same time... I mean if I get a shirt that contrasts then I can get a tie that matches and visa-versa. I can contrast my own clothing while contrasting and matching with hers. 99 Hunter - November 1st, 200899 Cooking -July 22nd, 200999 Firemaking - July 29th, 201099 Fletching - December 30th, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 I would ask her what she thought on matching. It really comes down to personal preference and matching outfits is a typical cliché for HS dances. Personally I would just wear a nice black suit so it takes the stress off trying to match her outfit and focus more on making yourself look good.

Lenticular_J Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think a lot of people use matching as a word that encompasses a lot of things. Kind of like when "party" is used as a verb (which I also dislike). catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiny Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Now. Socks, as inoffensive as they appear to be, I want to clairfy some things. 1. One should never wear white socks with black or brown dress shoes. 2. If one is to wear white socks with white dress shoes, they need to be impeccably clean.3. Patterned socks are completely fine, depending on the pattern. On patterned socks, do you wear patterned socks? I love them, I find them a way to help stand out. The colour has to be matching though. Argyle and strips and checkers. They all help brighten up a plain old blazer + dark jeans. Your opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I have a pair each of red argyle, red striped, purple argyle, and purple striped, and I love them. Not only are they strikingly beautiful, they are very cozy. As for my casual socks, I have a couple sets of neon orange, green, and rainbow that I stole from my sister, and I get a lot of compliments on them :shades:. I also enjoy no show socks when I don't want people to question my sexuality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
