I like the second pair more, but it depends on what you're wearing them with, how the colors work together.

51outs, I'd get some cool blazers.

I just noticed the burnished toe and don't like either because of that.

Welp I bought the second pair cuz you guys said to even though I was leaning to the first(Some people listen!)

I was worried about versatility and now... yeah.

What can't I wear with these?

the lighter ones will just "pop" more than darker ones if you are wearing darker shaded pants. so they are less traditionally dressy than the darker ones, but you may prefer them when you don't need to be formal. and if you wear a lot of khaki shaded pants the darker ones may be better b/c there is more contrast - I personally don't like light colored pants with similar shaded shoes

Okay so I can't wear them with dark pants or with khaki pants.

You can wear them with any kind of pants. I think they look pretty sharp. I'm just not a fan of burnished toes. I don't think I'd wear them with a suit. They are too casual, although you could get away with it if you had too.

I just think it will be harder to develop a cohesive wardrobe when your second pair of dress shoes is chestnut type colour rather than a dark or at least mid brown.

i like the first pair more but if you already have a black pair then you may as well go with the lighter pair.

Got a pair of these the other day and I love them. Comfortable and go great with jeans.

Now i gotta find some nice classic tees to wear with this style. Any suggestions? I like simple.

I like those a lot. Very clean.

Everlane is the new rage in tees over on Styleforum. It's worth trying a few brands so you can get a cut you like and then stick with them.

AE McAllister shoes in Burgundy/Merlot.

I am not a very good photographer but these are really nice.

I bought shoe cream but I think I should've bought shoe polish. Oh well.

Beautiful shoes. Im an AE die hard. I prefer shoe cream to wax polish any day esp on AE. Polish will shine the shoes, cream soaks in and conditions the leather giving a great sheen over time. Provided the color will change slightly to the lighter spectrum. Either way theyll last a lifetime and when theyre beat send em back for the AE refurb!

Nice kicks.

Awesome, thanks. You think just apply the cream once a month or so and don't do anything else?

I took a slightly better pic:

KMW jeans and Express socks if anyone is wondering.

Anyone know what cut of Wranglers is closest to 501s or have any comment on fits? The Wrangler website sucks at describing fit. I'm looking at the 47 MWZ and 36 MWZ. I want to pick up a couple pairs of cheap dry jeans as all my 501 STFs are ready to bust through the crotch.

At $25 per, maybe I'll just get a pair of each.

Buy something better than that. I used to rock 501s then moved on to some better stuff and never looked back. But then again I'm 5'10" and weigh 145lbs so I'll never fill a 501 cut.

I've had APCs and KMWs so I'm familiar with nicer dry/selvedge denim. My weight and thigh diameter bounce up and down too much to justify them anymore.

Currently I'm 5'8 165 and 501s are about as skinny as I can go, so I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I find that the crotch wears really fast in them though so I wanted to try Wranglers, unless there's something else in the <$40 dry denim arena.

What is it that makes rigid wranglers so much less desirable than levis? Obviously some of the cuts are horrible. But they do have some straight fit regular rise unwashed options. And the denim sounds more durable than levis.

I think they're just a victim of their marketing.

Doug can't you just go to somewhere they sell them and try them on?

LOL good answer, especially with Anchorman 2 being announced recently.
