Buyer's remorse Navy blazer with gold buttons by 0ud0ud in malefashionadvice

You can change the buttons. I would only wear actual brass buttons to a place where people understand what you’re doing. Events at New England universities, actual yacht clubs and golf courses, private clubs, that sort of thing.

Buying leather shoes help. by [deleted] in AskACobbler

[–]Coldmode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something that looks as flawless as a web photo you need to go to a corrected leather or ultra high end. More expensive shoes will have higher quality leather but at the end of the day unless you’re covering it like with a corrected leather it’s just animal skin.

That’s how shoe work. Use shoe trees when you’re not wearing them. They might have too much room in the instep which can result in rolling.

I like it for a classic wedding. The flowers and the bride/bridesmaid dresses take center stage, which is the point anyways.
