I love the color
Ferragamo Alternatives
Recently started getting more interested in dress shoes. I have a wide foot so I have had a historically challenging time finding shoes that fit me nicely. Recently I got a couple of pairs of Ferragamo shoes as gifts. I like the style of their loafers a lot. Any recommendations for shoes that have that kind of feel at $400 or below?

Velasca is a brand I like for its Italian style but moderate price point. Meermin is more affordable but still very classic European style.
Do you tuck in your quarter zip?
Do you leave a quarter zip sweater untucked or do you tuck it in, or does it vary (and if so, why)?
Do you think this is business casual?
I'd like your opinion: Do you think this jacket in the "caramel" color is would work with a business casual outfit, where business casual is button-down Oxford +/- sweater, chinos, blutchers or dress boots? https://www.quince.com/men/wool-cashmere-cruiser-jacket?color=caramel&gender=men&tracker=collection_page__%2Fmen%2Fjackets__subcollections-Wool%20Coats__All%20Products__5

@Morgan John Thanks John. I should have clarified I meant as an outerwear piece that I'd wear to / from the office while I'm outside in cold weather.
Is there a line?
Is there a line between dressing well and being a tool? I love to dress well as you do too...however, is there a time and place? I posted Thursday about a fit without a pocket square as to not be "over the top". Today I was at a "cousinsgiving" event and again...was way over dressed. Question, do you ever throttle back given the company? I come from dirty sneakers and rough hands and the family reflect this. Not a dig---I'm proud of my people, they just don't share my passion!

My personal opinion: yes, you can be over-dressed, and doing so is almost as bad, although not as bad, as being under-dressed. I think being over-dressed makes you look like you try too hard. It can also make others in the group experience their own insecurities at dressing poorly, which, to be fair, is on them, but is also something as a good gentleman you probably don't want to do. So what I always aim for is the nicest garments within the confines of whatever the socially determined dress for the occasion is, or possibly +1 level of formality above that. So, based on this picture where everyone is in jeans, sneakers and t-shirts, I would say: level up the sneakers with a pair of nice boots, level up the jeans with a pair of chinos, level up the t-shirt with a button-down and a quarter zip; but, leave the jacket out.
