Serious Problem
 
Afternoon Ladies and Gents,

I have quite an issue.

I want to wear some burnt orange chinos this weekend to the races (as one does), shoe colour is a slight issue though, tan will look a bit silly, dark dark brown maybe, black maybe, but I'm thinking a blue shoe (navy/dark)?

Kitty? Any suggestions?

I'm off to the mall tonight to buy some bits - it's high time I replaced the current tweed jacket - so suggestions on the footwear front would be welcomed.

Other option is to buy new chinos and just stick on some shoes I already have.

Once again, this problem is obviously a big deal to all of you as well, so jokes are accepted.

Not a massive fan of pointy shit. I don't mind them but thinking maybe something else. Not sure what. Inspire me.

Nice look though, bet you look great today...

What's wrong with chinos? The fallback is just a nice suit - no wasitcoat though.

Well if you have the confidence to pull it off a pair of 16 hole oxblood doc martens or set of snakeskin cowboy boots. Worn outside of the chinos.

I look great yes and it has the advantage that I am not approached by anyone in sales, they are assuming I am in the bizness also.

Alternatively you could be the proverbial light to the moths (or, perhaps, dogshit to the flies) in that if you'd actually spent money on the apparel pictured, you'll be willing to spend more on ****ing anything.

I am fully confident my apparel has the ability to repel most of humanity.

To answer your question, unless you are a middle-aged teacher, overweight, american, in the army or any combination of the former... everything.

What's your stance on elasticated trouser waist bands?
  1. An abomination
  2. The pinnacle of trouser engineering

A red pair of shit flickers will go well with the chinos

The former. However, infinitely-variable "automatic" Korean/Chinese belts are the dogs bollocks.
