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.
If the trousers are burnt, won't they have all holes in?. better to wear ones that are complete

Thanks, looked at some blue shoes and didn't like them. Binned off the orange chinos and opted for some blue-ish ones.

I can guarantee there will be bigger dickheads than me there.

Third pic in your second post is a lovely jacket, similar to the one I bought. But mine is dark-ish brown. Well, maybe that's just brown, it's lovely though. Means I can go with brown shoes too.

You're a Dad. I'm not talking about creases-down-the-front massive baggy pleated chinos that every septic wears. I'm talking nice and smart, slim fitting chinos.

Scamp, you've always seemed like the type who can walk and breath at the same time, so you'll definitely by a couple of notches further up the evolutionary ladder than most of the wide-boy-party-suit-wankers that'll be there.

Where did you get the jacket? I'm in the market for one but everything I like makes me look like a geography teacher, and I'm not that ready to give up on talking to the opposite sex, and on life in general yet.

You mean hipster chinos? Are you going to roll the bottoms up and flash a little ankle?

You're too kind. But I like to think you're correct.

Believe it or not, I trawled the mall last night...Ted Baker, Paul Smith, Massimo, Sacoor, Jack Wills (saw a nice one in there ages ago), etc etc etc. Ended up getting one off the discount rail in....Next. Yes, I'm just as surprised as you. It's obviously not of the same quality that the other places want to charge 1000-4500 for, but it's a decent fit (despite the fact I'm tall and wide, like a sausage) and was just over 300 dizzers. STEAL....well worth a look. Let's face it, I'm not going to spend 000's of denzels on a jacket I'll wear once or thrice a year, not yet anyway.

Sort of. I despise the hipster type image, it always seems that the idea is to look like you're not trying too hard but they always look like they've tried the hardest. I won't be rolling the ankles up, they're slim fit but I'm obviously rocking a 36inch waist so it just means they're not baggy down the bottom half of the leg. Smash in some awesome socks and I'll be making up for the lack of personality like a boss.
