I suppose if budget constraints don't allow you to purchase two different pairs of shoes (man, you are going to kill that single pair of shoes very quickly) then that is fine. But for budget concerns, I think it actually works out better owning two pairs of dress shoes and alternating. Not that I'm a fan of square toed shoes, but not everyone can walk around looking like a fairy with pointed dress shoes. Also, not everyone has feet as narrow as a girl's foot. Haha. <br><br>I agree with the single vent comment. Skinny suits exist in horrible places like H&M, where the clothes are made to fit fairy's. Despite the decent price tag (suits can run $150 up) do NOT think that you, the average sized man, will be fitting your ass into an H&M suit. Fat guy in a little coat? Yup. *RIP* You rock blue suit with black shoes and you're walking around looking like a bruise.

I searched last year for a summer wedding I was going to found a good deal on a grey Burberry suit... not just that but they had great dress shirts by Burberry and a ton of ties that you could just stop there and find everything you need (even found a good brown Ecco shoe there). They even have free on sight tailoring by seasoned 80 year old asian guys so you know they know what they're doing!<br><br>Anoher shocking place to get high end suits is Marshalls - not everyone out there but the one in SF once had a crazy sale with brands like Prada and John Varvatos... they were still expensive but probably a fourth of their retail costs.
