yes hanhanhan, it is a rule to always leave the lowest button undone..

Why do men never button the bottom button of your suit, sports jacket, vest or Cardigan sweater?

King Edward VII, “Bertie”, son of Victoria (1841 – 1910, King 1901 - 1910) was so heavy that he could not get the bottom button fastened on his vest or to be more historically kind, maybe he just forgot. His subjects taking it as a fashion statement followed his lead and today most men’s suits, sports jackets or vests are not designed to button the bottom button. The tradition of not buttoning the bottom button may have also come from the early waistcoats, which were very long. It may have been out of necessity of being able to walk that the bottom buttons were left undone.

go to any good cobblers, i did mine in Bangsar Shopping Complex, there is a cobbler at the lowest ground.. but mine is placed with a thin layer of rubber underneath the shoe, it will give adequate protection as well as grip.. cost around RM50..

three important points on how to take care of your dress shoes:

1) always use a shoe tree when you are not wearing your shoes (it will help preserve its shape and increase life span)
2) put toe taps / rubber taps on your shoes (protects the shoe and for the rubber material, it will provide more grip)
3) polish your shoes regularly (restore the appearance of leather shoes and extending the footwear's life)

Slim ties can be used for both formal and casual wear. Unless you’re a hard-core fashion guy who favors a super-skinny tie, stick with one that measures about two and a half to three inches at its widest point. It will be narrower than traditional ties, but not by too much. Tie one on and you’ll look modern and sophisticated.

I've actually had a number of people come up to me and go "Hey Jin, are slim ties suitable for office wear?". Yes they are, most guys mistaken slim for skinny ties; those are only suitable for casual wear and not for professional use, anything around 2 inches is categorized under skinny and any thinner will be followed by super-skinny.

Example of a slim tie:



How could you say the guy above does not look professional in his slim tie? =)

PROJECT UPGRADE: A GQ STYLE INTERVENTION

GQ’s fashion editors take to the streets and grab six dudes who could use a little bit—okay, a lot—of style help

In a world of puffy dress shirts, oversize suits, and clunky square-toed lace-ups, there’s plenty of room for improvement. GQ hit the streets of New York and found six real men with real problems—and supplied them with advice any guy can learn from.

10 TIES X 10 SHIRTS = 100 FOOLPROOF OPTIONS
You don’t need dozens upon dozens of shirts and ties if you know how to pair them

The key to building a wardrobe is maximum compatibility. These shirts and ties all go perfectly with each other.

it's not recommended to roll up jeans/chinos especially for those who are typically not that tall.. it shouldn't be too bad provided the pants itself is slim/skinny cut =)

anyway here's a great way to roll up your chinos:

i never fasten the last button..

There's simply just too many Malaysians who jump into conclusion that a dress shirt (which is the proper term for the widely used formal shirt) or a dress pant is considered formal, when they are actually not.. A single piece of clothing by itself does make the entire outfit formal, its all the right pieces together.. Similarly, a person who's wearing a dress shirt, necktie, suit jacket (yes, the jacket is called a suit jacket and not just suit) and jeans, does that make the look formal? It's not about a single piece, but all the pieces together..

simple illustration of dress codes:
