Im all for dressing to impress 24/7.
I dont go all out everyday though. I'm only 21, so even my best isnt even that formal. When I goto the bar/club I normally just dress how I would on a normal day. nothing too special, a good quality polo (Lacoste, RL etc.) or even a nice T. then some jeans. Here is where I would like to go for something nice and expensive but dont. right now I have a pair of Gap, Old Navy, Guess, and RL.
Can someone convince me on more expensive brands?
My next outfit that Im thinking I want to buy would be a nice ben sherman argyle sweater (black) to pair up underneath. with a dark with lines (black) button up shirt.
I always wear Aldo shoes (Im in Canada, do they have those elsewhere)
black and brown I have.
What kind of socks should I wear with my brown shoes?
currently I am wearing wool socks. they are the only ones that I can find that look decent if my socks are actually showing.
black is simple. I just go to footlocker or wherever and buy a bag of black socks.

Any advice for me would greatly be appreciated!
It almost seems to me that I might be falling into a polo only hole or something. it's not that bad, but could get there.

I didnt want my other post to get too long and ignored, but i have some more questions.
this on the more formal clothing.
At my work (restaurant) I have to wear black dress pants and I currently wear a uniform provided to me, Ill soon have to be wearing a black dress shirt.

Im 5'6" 160lbs. I would say medium build.
What brand of pants would you guys reccemend?
My knowledge of these consists of going to the bay (canadian version nordstroms?) and getting a pair. The only kind that I found I like are Perry Ellis. These seem to be alright, but I think they could be better out there.

Also shirt. What brand should I look at here? for this again I would probably just goto the bay and find one.
I really want something good for work, but nothing too expensive since there is always the chance of me spilling food on myself and ruining the clothes.
