Is there a difference in design in gendered leather shoes?
Hey, so I was looking into getting my first pair of loafers/mocs but I have small feet that are below retail men's sizes.
So, on the very basic designs without heels, are they unisex or is there some secret shoe rule?
Below are some example images I found of shoes on women's stores that looked fairly unisex to me....
Opinion on new purchases
Hey! I will soon be joining my first corporate role and hence wanted to make some purchases online. I am wanted to advice and opinion on what I plan to wear. I am looking to put up a formal shirt with chinos and plain white sneakers and have short listed the following.
Would this look good, given that I am thinly built.
I am planning on shirts like image 1 and 2 alongside chinos in image 3 and 4. I wanted advice on the color combination and if these actually go well. Additionally, would dress pants make more sense or the chinos given that I plan to dress them alongside sneakers....
Feedback on this pair of Bridlen chelsea boot?

After my earlier questions on chelsea boots - I settled on getting one from Bridlen. I provided them with my dimensions and they suggested the Yama last pair (https://bridlen.com/products/copy-of-chelsea-boot-goodyear-welted)
I got my sizing trial pair of them today - any initial thoughts on the appearance/shape? (Note: I'll be getting the final pair in black )...
fit advice on new loafers
After getting advice here, I ended up ordering my first pair of loafers from Rancourt way back in July, and they arrived today. My Brannock size is about 8.7EE, and I got 8EE loafers (their size guide gave me 8E, I went wider). But I'm not that happy with the fit and I'm considering returning them:
1. The main problem is that my toes are squeezed too much together. I don't know if I'd call it pain, but particularly on one side, it's quite uncomfortable. I don't want to wear it on that foot at all much less for hours. I have large toes with my outer two not being that much smaller than the middle ones, which is hard to fit into a sizing schema. However, this discomfort might just be how conventional leather shoes are not being foot shaped, I'm not used to wearing them - nowadays, I wear boots and sneakers sized a half size or more up. Do I have to just get used to this? Or decide not to wear leather shoes.
2. The heels are quite loose, they slip halfway or more out of the shoe when I walk - while wearing American Trench socks, I'd otherwise wear no-shows I assume. Is this normal? Would I be able to do something about this with inserts on the side? Note: This is despite the heel width being D on their EE shoes. So I have narrow or at least not wide heels.
3. They unexpectedly are on the long side, there's more than my thumb's width in front of my big toe. Which I've heard of being fine for boots but idk about loafers. This doesn't cause them to move lengthwise because they are quite snug at the ball of my feet, so perhaps a non-issue. Btw this suggests sizing up is not an option....

Is this sport coat too big?
I’ve never really worn sport coats before, so I don’t totally know how they’re supposed to fit. I bought one off eBay using my measurements, but I’m wondering if it’s still a little too big
EG shirt fit check, styling, issues
I received a new Engineered Garments combo shirt, but I think it fits weird. The waist is really baggy without being that wide in the chest. Should it be worn tucked or untucked?
What kind of pants is best to pair it with? I wore the baggiest pants I have at the moment but I'm not sure if that works well. I also have issues with the stitching. This shirt has more loose threads I've ever had on a new shirt. I expected better craftmanship given how much this brand is revered around these parts....

Not sure what to wear for fall engagement photos
My fiancée is wearing this white dress for our engagement photos soon. It’s fall where we are and I want to wear a brown sweater, I just don’t know what pants or shoes to pair with it.
This is the dress she is wearing. She won’t be wearing boots.
Any suggestions?...
