Who's heading to Melbourne soon/landed recently (end 2012/2013) & where are you/where are you going?

Not really, if you do an image search for chinos on Google you will mostly see khaki coloured trousers:

Correct. What I'm saying is that Woolies has black trousers with a "Chino" label that aren't chinos.

K-Mart, Target, Big W, Spendless Shoes are all cheap but to be honest I've found with shoes buy the best you can afford as so far the school shoes and runners I've bought from K-mart and Target fell apart after a few weeks!

For work shoes, Harbour Town would be a pretty good place. Lots of Outlet/factory stores there.

oi...I will have to get a whole new wardrobe (jay...more retail therapy) because I love wearing denims (those long ones with wide pants, almost 60's like ) with nice shoes and a nice blouse.

Hiya

I'm with IBM in Melbourne - dress code for client-facing like sales or account management is normally suit and tie

For less client-facing like architects, developers, technical specialists, dress is "business casual" == smart pants and shirt, no tie needed.
