Goals…for work
I need to look business casual at work - think dockers and a polo, but I don’t want to lose my soul.
Trying to find chinos that aren’t dockers. What other options for shirts fit the standard? Any sub-$100 leather shoe brands to send me towards. Cheers and thanks for your time.

Hi @Time! For better answers, include:

what style of leather shoe?
tons of chinos https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1401957859008184514
I'd generally recommend something with a wider silhouette and maybe some pleats
higher waisted
maybe the JCrew Giant Fits
bronson 1970s Ivy
Polo Andrews on ebay
can you dress in any business casual? or specifically chinos and a polo?
also in the future please use the search function of qna. there are tons of other threads answering similar questions (maybe other than the specific shoe question)

No please god no
Never the dress sneakers
Ever
Please
Bahaha so my gut of sadness was right.
Sneakers or dress shoes always look better
Loafers are really in for business casual
Hmm that’s a thought
Penny loafers or tassel loafers
No show socks for those?
Are convos on threads ok?
Raw dogging or crew socks imo
No show socks usually you can still see in loafers
Looks bad
I mean you can try
If you cant see it then go for it
Like no socks? Heathen….
Or Crew!
White socks?
But honestly go through that inspo thread I posted, the users in there #waywt s and the #waywt channel and find some outfits that you like and that are appropriate for your work
I appreciate the tips.
Or creme or like a dress patterned sock
Ohhh
Find pics, post them all here in an album, and it’ll be easier to give you advice
To post as an album, copy them one by one and paste them here
They’ll stack up, then send when you have 9
Appreciate the tips and the welcome.
Oh other standard advice. Don’t buy everything at once. Changing your wardrobe/developing your style takes time
Find things that fit you the way you like and look like you want
And that follow the inspo that you like
