Same as what KK said. I’m actually wearing Cole Haan brown shoes right now. They’re my business casual shoe of choice. But, if I’m meeting with clients I’ll throw on my To Boot New York brown shoes. I actually only own one pair of black shoes and only wear them when I’m meeting with older clients (and espeically execs), finals presentations, or going to formal events.
Most of my clients are business casual these days anyway. After I meet them for the first time, I rarely even wear a suit. They actually give me shit for it.
pleated pants have more fabric and fit baggier, it’s just not a flattering look. they are more reminiscent of the 90’s style when shirts and pants would have twice as much fabric needed and looks incredibly boxy and baggy when it falls on an average person - think of original fit brooks brothers shirts, i mean who can honestly fill out one of those shirts?

Anyone have any particular opinions on good looks, styles, colors, etc. for the spring? I found a few pictures that seem to match the basic-but-trendy look I’m going for:
