I was thinking of mentioning you. Thanks for stepping up to the plate.

At least it'll save him from the" white socks/black shoes"

Some of you say wear some brown loafers but then a bunch of other posters later said loafers is terrible with jeans because it looks like you have no fashion sense and it will make you look like a fool. One of you also said that it looks like someone who doesnt know what to put on and just puts on anything which is what i am trying to avoid. Then you have some people giving me advice to not wear dress shoes with the blazer because my blazer and jeans will have it a more casual look to it. Then some people say i wear dress shoes with jeans and i think it looks great. And one you said "I would wear it with dress shoes" and another guy followed it up with "Ditto, and always polished." I am not sure if both of you guys are joking around or expressing your honest answer because one advice i got not from here was to NEVER wear dress shoes that are polished with jeans because its a no-no. The way i see it, its like it is going around in circles and never getting an answer that most people would at least agree on. I will not post any more links since most of you have seen the blazer and those "ugly" KC shoes you guys have been talking about. Can we just agree on something here? Like if most of you say loafers would be ideal I would be fine with it. Again, i am not looking for reassurance, I am just looking for the type of shoes that would be fine as long as it is far way from looking tacky or like a fool. Tar, of course it is clear i am not confident. It's because i DON'T KNOW what to wear with blue jeans. How am i suppose to be confident when i dont even know what is fine and what is not whening picking shoes with blue jeans. It's like you telling me you dont' look confident and your suppose to perform on stage in 5 minutes and i tell you of course i dont look confident, i dont even remember most of my lines. thanks.
I think it's more that you have 180 posts and have started 41 threads. Hang around a bit. Participate. You keep asking a lot of similar questions when if you hung around a bit, you'd probably get the answers without having to ask them. Finally, as someone has suggested, style is very personal. Nobody can tell you what to wear. A lot of people on here wear sneakers with jeans. Does that mean that the people who wear dressier shoes with jeans are wrong? Of course not. Don't take clothes so seriously, it's about wearing what you think is best for you.

well the thing is i am not interested in another people's threads is because i have no interest in them? Like threads on safari jackets and those other things have no interest in me because i dont like the style.

yes to the person who said i wanted to know the "rules", yes i think that is what i am looking for.

I always thought Phatty123 was one of those "pretend to be ignorant and ask asinine questions" trolls. Go through his threads and I'm sure you'll get the same feeling.

If you don't like our style why are you asking us for advice?

I haven't followed his threads that closely, but is it possible that Howard changed identities? Ask him to price a bunch of bananas.

If you are going to ask a question here take them for what they are worth. That being said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result...........

BTW, Hitler and Mussolini were big on arbitrary Iron clad rules as well! Then again they WERE dapper dressers!!!!

I taken answers but all the answers contradict everything i heard before.

Man everytime i ask a question it also gets other ppl posting some immature stuff etc. If you are going to make a joke out of it then dont bother reading.

And when did i ever said you guys suck. Are you guys trying to create some drama out of this?

Phat these guys all have opinions...every one's got one. Why not read the posts and identify the posters that you tend to agrree with in general? Posters that may have a similar aesthetic and style and ask them directly? Do not get pissy when people get mad at you because you do not agree with their opinion after asking.

Use the search, check other forums and do not piss off the Senior members/moderators. Remember when they have 1000+ posts, they have probably seen your question 10 times already asked by noobs like you and I.

It's just e ettiquette, you are asking to be slammed if you do not at least try to follow it.
