Nice outfit!

I'm looking at picking up a pair of First Avenue seconds from Shoebank. How is the sizing?

[NewStyle]

Thanks voodoo. I only have one other pair of AEs to compare with (rogue). I wear a 10.5E. Relative to my others the first ave were slightly narrower in the midfoot and roomier in the toe box. They took a good 4-5 wears to break-in but are very comfortable now.

Asking for some feedback here. Trying out a monochrome thing and generally thinking dusty color palettes but I think it would look better if I swapped the natural belt for a braided brown belt. The question I really have is about the trousers/shoes. Shoes are Alden snuff, chinos are S&M. Should I be going even lighter on the trouser color instead? (like a pair of 'natural' colored jeans)? Also the material... the material on these chinos just doesn't work here IMO. I'm thinking either the aforementioned denim, or an uncuffed and less slim, ?slubby? linen blend... what are my other options? Any easy fitting wool or cotton trouser with a slight taper to a flat hem? If I go off-monochrome, maybe a light gray/slate blue pants, again, less slim? Those BR chelseas would probably look good here if I use a slimmer pant silhouette. If you've ever seen some of Regis' posts on SF or browsed through some Italian S/S lookbooks, that's what I'm trying to evoke here on a budget.

I personally like the look you have on. Is it really monochrome? IMHO, no. Then again, know the rules in order to break them. I would agree on the braided leather belt over the one you have on now. I think if you went lighter on the pants it would start to look a little weird and too matchy. I can't exactly tell from the picture if that sweater is white or more cream/beige but either way it's a hard color to go full monochrome because it just gets too washed out. You could definitely go with a slubby linen or a lightweight wool in a light grey but you'd probably have to change the shoes to a lighter color. Sorry for rambling, just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the feedback! I really need to buy myself a braided leather belt. Also thanks for asking me to clarify, I didn't mean true monochrome, just kind of in the same family. The sweater is a cream linen piece from Club Monaco.
