Anyone have a recommendation for nice t-shirts that fit slimmer in the waist than the American Apparel summer shirt? I'm a size Medium but too yoked LDO.

Also anyone buying a pair of Prada shoes over Alden should be sterilized.

Umm, how about most of the time if you are a student? Maybe not for disko, but people are consistently recommending shoes that are inappropriate with jeans or daily wear. Jeans are a casual pant; stop wearing dress shoes with them.

Gus,

I go to a pretty wide variety of venues and even at the nicer places lots of guys wear dark wash well fitting jeans (myself included) with shoes.

So where you live, everyone wearing leather shoes is automatically overdressed - mbn.

Most casual shoes that are not leather can't be worn where it snows in the winter.

Running shoes are never appropriate when not actually doing physical activity.

That leaves the more casual leather shoe as the only option for anyone not in the south.

Ive been in situations where its so cold outside that your leg is frozen when wearing pants, so I think long underwear is fine in those cases

Also if you are so embarrassed about your underwear, then just take both your pants and underwear off at the same time.

This is SL after all. Wearing brogue shoes (which I think are ugly in the first place) to any standard student bar/club would be overdressing. There are a wide variety of options that are casual shoes that are not sneakers.

Full Brogue leather shoes are only a notch or two above sneakers.

What casual shoe are you talking about that is not a sneaker but not a leather shoe either.

Something like that, maybe? I like them.

Does anyone have experience with topman.com? I really like some of their clothes, but based on the low price I'm worried about bad quality.

This is where you failed because you assumed this without me actually saying this.

Well, you say a full brogue shoe is not casual enough, when full brogue is on a level with the most casual leather shoes out there.

So, I made an assumption. Just post some shoes you are talking about.

Van Gogh,

I've heard nothing but good things about Topman. Except for that recent publicity snafu where they were printing t shirts advocating violence against women...that was pretty lol.
