How far would you go to protect your shoes?

When it comes to fashion there is a thin line between function and vanity.  Keeping your beautiful leather shoes in top notch condition during the harsh Northeast winters takes a bit of planning.  Some men simply thrash their shoes expecting to get only one season from them while others trek through the snow in boots to switch into their Italian made loafers at work. Although, there is an oft missed third option- galoshes!

So, gentleman, what will it be?  Modern galoshes or the extra pair of boots for your commute?

Where do you draw the line between vanity and function?  Before or after donning these?

Rolled Up- Fall Trends 2011

Here is a subtle way to change the dynamic of your wardrobe. Work in some colorful or printed socks and you have a completely new look.

Check out the cuffs below- just turn up your pants for a modern twist on a traditional look.

This works particularly well with thicker materials such as tweed or worsted wool. Although, the photo on the far right, from Bottega Veneta's Fall line, is a good example of a way to work cuffs into your work ensembles.
