Re: Making over my new wardrobe
Howard, I find Zegna shirts uniformly drab and boring. Worse, I think they're pretty much the worst value for high end shirts.
Clayton, Really, what are you trying to do? If you want to look expensive that's easy, but costly. If you want to look fashionable that's easy too, but costly over the long term as you turn-over your wardrobe every year. If you want to look distinctive, that's hard. You have to figure out who you are and what you're about.

***, KC is basically the driving force behind about 95% of the ugly, flat, wide-toebox shoe phenomenon of the last 10-15 years. Shoes that confuse roominess with comfort, squareness with style.

For people who are talkin about stylish hoodies, could you list a couple of links where we can find them?? Winter is coming and I need some new hoodies. [/ QUOTE ] I have this hoodie in indigo:  It's lined with rabbit fur and is very comfortable and warm.

Re: Making over my new wardrobe
Maulik,
I'm not familar with G-Star shoes. Like Polo or Brooks Brothers I imagine that they buy their shoes from someone else and market it under their own name. Anyway, the photo says they use a Goodyear welt so that's a step in the right direction with regards to quality.

Re: Making over my new wardrobe
A lot of people disagree with my shoe suggestions, and the example KCs Manque posted are outlandish. I have some that I think look very sharp, but clearly I'm misinterpreting these brands' offerings as a whole.
Instead I change my recommendation to finding a fashionable local shoe store and perusing what they have. As recommended elsewhere, bring a friend that knows what they are doing and heed their advice. Manque, Maulik, DaveR, I'll let you know when I step into a pair of Koji Suzuki shoes.
