Red Wing and similar brands are having something of a fashion renaissance, despite their relatively utilitarian heritage. This seems to be directly paired with the popularization of skinnier jeans- as the jeans get tighter, the feet get bigger.
Verdict:
Go for them, but don't go overboard. One pair of nice Red Wing boots will last forever, and they are almost always made incredibly well- you really can't go wrong. Still, don't over-do them- they can be a bit much for everyday use, and in most countries are still associated with construction workers.

Would all styles of the work boot be acceptable? Even the lighter, beige boots? To be honest that sounds a bit vague. Some boots do look good and some make you look like a day laborer.
Thanks Kirk!
So now we know. Classic pants, dress shoes, utility jacket, cardigan.
Well, the cardigan for me is out of the question. Some men can pull it off quite well, I guess, but I just feel old and nerdy wearing one. I’d rather just feel young and nerdy instead.
Any absolute no-nos from last season? Anything that will make people frown at me (or worse) and say “that’s so 2008”? Can I still wear my cool, thin, solid colour sweaters and get respect?
Oh, and getting info on suits is always cool. But I doubt, given the origins of this place, that many people will actually wear them to work (if not college or high school). Good show nonetheless, kudos to Kirk!
