Start at the bottom and dress your way up
Most men only worry about suits, shirts and ties. They buy from the top down. So by the time they get to the bottom, their feet are just an afterthought. And the shoes they buy look like afterthoughts. If you buy a pair of Nunn-Bush shoes, you can start with your feet. Because you won't have to worry about them not matching the suit you haven't bought yet. They're styled so you won't have to change shoes every time you change suits. And that can save you a lot of change. NUNN BUSH
