OOTD: Chiropractor, lunch and shopping
...all in one afternoon. We didn't have to go far since the pizza place is just down the street from the chiropractor. It was a bit chilly this afternoon, but not like this morning or yesterday morning, when we decided to forego our Sunday morning breakfast because it was 28 degrees at 8AM.

@Chad Smith Thanks, Chad! It was just cool enough this afternoon to wear it.

I'm in the $10-50 category. I get a lot of mine from thrift shops and EBay, though. Paying retail for the quality clothes I want is out of my budget. I already have a good wardrobe selection for not a lot of money by doing just that. A lot of the clothes that I used to wear that don't fit into my current classic smart casual style are going to go onto the EBay store that I'm starting this year as a way to earn more money to fund my retirement.

@Richard Gonzales I'm slowly learning which brands fit me and which don't. So far it's a lot of Brooks Brothers and Ralph Lauren, but I've also developed a fondness for Criquet polos.
Which “small detail” matters most for you?
Most guys don’t lose points because of big mistakes… they lose points because of one tiny detail that quietly screams “I didn’t finish the job.” If you had to pick one detail that makes (or breaks) the whole look, what matters most? Vote - and drop in the comments why you chose it. Bonus: if you’ve ever been called out on one of these, tell us which one got you.

I chose hem length because that's an issue for me. My belly precludes wearing pants at my natural waist, they inevitably sag if I do that with a belt. Even wearing them below the belly the hem can ride at different heights over the course of a day, but dirty shoes are a bugaboo as well. You can have the best-looking outfit, but if you have dirty shoes it signals that you aren't checking the details. I keep an old sock on top of my shoe cabinet and hit my shoes with it before I put them on, it literally takes seconds and renews the shine too.
Pizza night!
It's pizza night again at our favorite local joint. Black and white Land's End button-down shirt with houndstooth pattern and sleeves rolled up.

Opinions on streetwear?
To give you some context, I'm currently in college, where a significant number of my classmates usually dress in a more streetwear style. Although I have nothing against that style, I feel that I'm personally more drawn to something formal or classic. The thing is, I'm still not entirely sure what kind of clothes I could wear, as I don't want to look too formal and feel like I don't fit in. That's why I'd like to know what you think about streetwear and how you perceive this style in a university and general context. Also, if you know of any more formal alternatives, I'd love to hear them to get some style ideas. Thank you for reading and sharing.

I agree with @Alan Dormire , polos or henleys with chinos or non-distressed dark-wash jeans, a notch or two above your peers. If you want to elevate a little more, consider a good pair of leather or suede loafers. In my teens and into my mid-20s I wore the standard uniform of the day for that age and time, jeans and graphic tees. By my late 20s I had elevated my style to what Alan and I recommend.

Billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. Oh, wait, that's Tony Stark. I'm just a working man trying to learn all he can on how to be stylish on a budget.
