Shoes & Ties

Hi guys..Need some of your input on what your favorite brands of dress shoes and ties are. Looking for nice/smart shoes and ties that aren't ridiculously priced..... Just an intern here!

Personally this is what my closet consists of:

-All 3 suits: Suit Supply
-Dress shirts: Charles Tyrwhitt & Brooks Brothers
-Ties: Charles Tyrwhitt & Michael Kors
-Shoes: Johnston and Murphy & Cole Haan
-Belts: Johnston and Murphy

All your comments are greatly appreciated. Specifically looking for shoes and ties!

 

Ties: Check out Ralph Lauren during end-of-season sales (the ones where you can take an extra 20-40% off of already discounted items). I've snagged multiple Black Label and Purple Label ties ($155 and $215 retail respectively) for $40-$50 each.

Shoes: Allen Edmonds from Nordstrom during their anniversary sales or one of their half-yearly sales. They'll set you back around $200 a pair, but they're practically indestructible and can last you 5-10 years if you take care of them. I know they might seem expensive now, but they're worth the investment.

Thanks a lot! Never even thought about Ralph Lauren for ties.. I'll def look into it. And yep- you're not the first to recommend Allen Edmonds. I guess it's time to check them out. Thanks a lot.

 

Also interested. Business formal internship, aka suit every day.

4 suits: navy, navy stripes, charcoal, light grey (is this okay? needed a forth i figured) 8 shirts: 3 shades of blue, 2 whites, and 3 various (all Lord & Taylors, need some nicer Brooks Brothers) shoes: consensus is Allen Edmonds Park Ave, but I am debating one of the cheaper AE's. Can't wait for a sale, and can't afford the more expensive. belts: perry ellis okay? ties: will stay here for recommendations.

I'm sure I will be looking like a summer intern for now, but I hope to at least look like an average summer intern.

 

I did an internship for Bloomberg here in Tokyo last summer, and that's the only time I've ever had to wear a suit. I bought a suit from Banana Republic. I had a little bit taken off here and there and it ended up looking so fine. I have one pair of Ferragamo shoes, and all of my ties are from Banana Republic, except for one really old Hermes tie from my Pops.

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.
