Style advice - new role (UK)

Hi Folks, first post here so apologies in advance if the formatting is incorrect. First things first, I'm 30, 6 foot, 200lbs (182cm, 90KG), quite broad, not athletic (maybe one day). I have recently started a new role in a professional services firm in the City of London and I'm struggling to 'find my style' as it were. My office is, rather frustratingly, very flexible, and my colleagues range from jeans/OCBDs to suits (albeit, never with ties), and this is reflected at the senior level as well....

Polo or RRL?

I'm looking at this Ralph Lauren shirt that I like on vinted: https://www.vinted.nl/items/4893043303-polo-ralph-lauren-shirt It says RRL in the description, but in the pictures the label clearly reads Polo. Is the seller just trying to hype their shirt, or am i missing something?...

501 vs 511

Hey guys. I currently own a pair of Levi's 501 jeans. Would 511 slim fit jeans compliment me better? I'm 5'11", 130 lbs, 29W x 32L, for reference.

Prioritizing Spending

This may be too broad a discussion topic vs a simple q&a one, but figured I'd post it anyways. I'm (possibly incorrectly) assuming most folks here fall somewhere on the spectrum from middle to upper middle incomes. Clothes run the gambit from dirt cheap to comically expensive. Perhaps not true at the lower end, but at some income level this turns into a "You can have anything you want (within reason), but not everything you want" problem and I'm fortunate to count myself in that club. I'm curious how folks prioritize in this circumstance. Buy fewer but higher-priced items? A handful of high priced pieces but go cheap on "filler" items? Focus on items you'll wear socially? Items for work? Just whatever you'll wear "most"? Pay for dress shirts, cheap out on plain T's? Vice versa? Or maybe I'm just too much of a planner and you all just buy things you like and figure it out as you go?...

Ankle or No Show?

I think I know the answer, which is to go no-show, but I already have a good selection of ankle socks hence my question.

Washing vintage wool flannels?

How do you guys wash your wool flannel shirts? I’ve got some vintage Pendleton and Woolrich that don’t have any care instructions. I’m assuming a cold, gentle cycle in the machine and a line dry would be alright? I like to avoid dry cleaning when I can because I’m not a fan of using all those harsh chemicals.

Casual Derbies

Been on the lookout for a very casual derby since regulars does feel abit too formal in my current enviroment. I found these hybrid hiking/derby fusion that I found to be pretty. Not in a rush to buy anything, rather I'm just looking for more options to keep an eye out in case any of them gets available on sales or 2nd hand. Requirement 400€...

What kind of style and silhouette does a Chelsea boot produce?

I've been looking for a pair of R.M Williams Chelsea boots to add to my shoe collection. I've read here and there that they are a bit outdated though, so I was considering if I should get another kind of shoe. To help me decide, I'd like to know what kind of style usually involves Chelsea boots? And also, what do the Chelsea boots do to the silhouette of the outfit? Thanks!...

tuck

What do you call this kind of tuck? I’ve seen it on many polo esk outfits I love how it looks. I just don’t know if I am doing it correct. Also, what can I improve about this outfit?

Looking For a Bulky Shoe (Streetwear Style)

I don't want to spend more than 80-90$.. My main clothes are Dark grey Washed baggy jeans, wide leg joggers, baggy light blue jeans. Ive been looking at Campus 00's and Knu Skools but they dont seem to be bulky enough to my liking. My current shoes are some beat up white air force 1s and Im looking to get 1-2 pairs that will go with any of my baggy outfits, Grey Jeans, Light Blue, Baggy Joggers etc....

Finding a style

So recently, I've been doing a few things to help start to get a sense of fashion style. I've been saving images from #waywt and #inspiration into a folder on my Mac, and I've also been putting some pictures on an Instagram collection. Yet, Instagram still primarily shows me cat pics and I'm not sure if I'm on the right track when it comes to finding a style I like. It's still pretty blurry for me. What else could I do to help on this journey of finding a style?...

Dress Shirt Fit Check

Feels so weird to be doing this - literally the first time in my entire life I've taken a picture to illustrate what I'm wearing and am sharing with you all. 🤣 Recently lost around 30 lbs and trying a slim fit dress shirt for the first time in my life. Wife gave me two thumbs up but has had 12 years for me to lower her expectations.😉 Does this fit OK? Shoulders seem good to me, neck is comfortable. I "think" my chest is actually too small for it though, as the chest pocket seems to be wrapping under my arm a bit? Is this a body proportions issue (work on my bench?) or is the sizing off? Or maybe unavoidable with slim fit shirts?...
