This. I live in the sub tropics so no snow where I live, but lots of rain. I check the weather in the morning and choose outfit that can take a bit of rain. So tropical wools, linen if its light showers,(blazer or cotton if its not raining) and I leave the expensive shoes or wear rubber soles until i hit the office.

Guest, it's time once again for the massively important and exciting FoH Asshat Tournament!
Go here and give us your nominations!Who's been the biggest Asshat in the last year? Give us your worst ones!
The best advice I can give is to find a friend (male or female) who knows how to dress well and ask them to take you shopping. Get an idea for a budget you want to spend in total for the day, and they can usually plan out how many shirts/pants whatever you need.

Alternately, get married and your wife will buy clothes that she likes to see you wear. Problem solved, and you don't have to go through the agony of shopping yourself.

Except when you have more shoes, and more clothes than your wife. She asks me if things look good or not. lol.
Been at my job 7 years, and the office is even shutting down in another year. We recently made the switch in dress code to allow jeans every day. When that happened, the overall dress code has declined. People get away with flip flops even. Full on cotton T-shirts. etc. To hell with dressing nice, and spending all that money when no one else around you gives a flip.
And Trunk Club has amazing, good quality clothes, I have no doubt of this, but do you want to spend $1000 or more per outfit?

They're pretty slack with engineers here and the dress code. Technically we should be in business or business-casual, which I adhere to mostly. The other day I saw a dude with a hawaiin shirt unbuttoned with a tank top underneath, blue flip flops with no socks or anything, and some beach shorts. It was kind of jarring and I suspect him to be a turd.

There is no conceivable way those are worth that price. Made in "Imported" out of what I can only assume to be top grain at best leather and a rubber sole. Maybe if you got them 66%+ off or something I'd consider them worth the price.

That post made me go to Allen Edmonds and see what they had on clearance when I came across these beauties:
Baton Rouge - Cap-toe Lace-up Oxford Men's Casual Shoes by Allen Edmonds
Too bad I don't feel like dropping that much cash on a very particular style of shoe that can't be worn with many different colors (i.e. not Black/Brown).

Well that's the problem, they are an outfit shoe. You can't just throw them on with half your wardrobe and look good. Which is why I won't be purchasing them. But I really like the color so I bought these instead (with matching belt of course):
South Shore - Handsewn Slip-on Men's Casual Boat Shoes by Allen Edmonds
Which also come in a few different colors like these, which are pretty snappy too

In general they have molds for all the shoes and sizes so it isn't quite as easy to just make them a size bigger if you don't have the last (mold).
