HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part II - Page 2422  

Thanks.

Thank you - and you're quite right of course. Outdoor pics are unlikely (unless I take to the balcony in the mornings) though as we head towards summer the light (and thus pics) will get better...




MoK got most of it, but I'll go a little further - and this is meant to be constructive:

This is a car crash. The top half is pure business dress, except your collar is undone - which generally looks awful with a tie, irrespective of context. The jeans are incongruous and bad on their own - they're baggy and it appears they have been hemmed without preserving the seam at the bottom.

The shoes match the top half - meaning (perhaps ironically) that if you'd simply substituted matching trousers for the jeans and done your collar up, this would have been quite a successful MC fit.

Lovely shoes and generally nice fit, but:

Something I have often noticed about your fits - your suit trousers are not particularly slim-cut, yet you have the trousers cut really short. I've seen this less-than-no-break style look OK on very slim-cut suit trousers (a colleague of mine sports it and gets away with it) but in your case I can't help feeling a modicum of break would be a huge improvement.

I definitely do not have a Thom Browne physique. As for the square, I like it, but I can't really defend it. It used to be one of my favorites, but I think it may be a bit too strong against a darker jacket. My taste in squares has definitely evolved to favor patterns over solids.

+1. Still waiting for mine.

Thanks, ace. Hugo Boss. They get very little love here, but I really like them.

Why, do you see little red bulls-eyes on them? They're Polo RL, from Bloomies, I believe.

I know, I have the same pair. I like them too!

I understand the direction you´re heading for, seems like a reasonable proposal. Next time, then


Well, haters gonna hate. My only suggestion: replace the tie with something plain (like a plain blue woolen one) and burn those shoes, and that fit is killer.
As someone said before: upper half is calling for winter, down half is screaming summer.


Nice tie!


Clearly got me here

Yeah, MoK suggested a deeper v-neck, too, which is totally accurate. Still i think the depth of the sweater is working. The palette has been on my mind for quite some time, glad you approve of it


Simple, elegant, yet with details springing to the eye. Well done!


Borderline Spoo, ha?
Must have left some footprints in here when guys are naming style quirks after me


+1, MoK has it all right.


Da truth, Spoomeister. . Pretty surprised you´re wearing H&M. Didn´t they offer you to buy the place when you entered the shop??


As much as i love the tie, i despise the combo with the ps. Just not feeling it here...a white one would have been a good choice.

So, as Spoo put it: i´m the only one entitled to wear a cardigan beneath a jacket...

Deets on those kicks please kind sir?

Thank you. As I told Spoo, I like to see what I can get away with


Vintage Holliday & Brown seems to be my only bet, really. What do you say to the Tom Ford models?


[Spoo]But they passed muster the last time I featured them[/ Spoo]

(NB. Spoo, I am merely teasing)

So, UC - single or double breasted, then?


Not more double fisting talk again

To be fair, this is less conceptual than usual, since I simply threw it together, so in that sense, I feel I understand you. It's something of a "season crash", I'd say - the colours of spring and winter frolicking together and perhaps playing a touch too roughly with each other. Or something. Cheers either way, Doc


Well, we don't have that much in common


Oh ho, not today. Perhaps when I next deploy my purple safari jacket again, then I'll be on an equal parity with your own flamboyance


Well, I think that it's common sense to wear orange trousers only if they're made from corduroy or in a pleasing shade. And you did both. I liked it because for the first time that I'm aware of, you utilised texture to add some depth to your expressiveness

Vacuum seems nice.

^ Like it? PM me

I'm sure by now you've come to the realization the pants need much work...

^ A hem adjustment and a better camera don't amount to "much work", my little nitpicker

Top half is reasonably nice, if a little too bright for this time of year for me, esp. when juxtaposed with a cardigan. The fabric/texture mix doesn't work work for me. But I like the shirt/tie combo. The trousers & shoes don't work at all for me, at least with this look. Sorry. Too wide for me. Height was good though. They would probably be fine if they were floppier but they're not, so appear too wide/clownish. For a bigger guy, they'd probably be fine. I like Francis Ford Coppola's bow-tie here. Mind you, when carrying that much bling, you can get away with almost anything I guess. (Coppola pic taken from this pretty cool blog post by Le Noeud Papillon shop. A blog that does exactly what it says on the tin.)

I Do like this look. Typically what I wear into the office on a day to day basis. Although I do like your boots I would have went with something a little more streamline with this outfit... to match the sleekness of the outfit. I'm with that watch.

Details on that sweater please.


I agree with B on this one. Although I am a fan of loose fitting comfortable jeans, this is not the look for them. Also, I think the sweater looks fine... Jacket looks a little too gig in the mid though. Just my .02

+ on the dislike of the cardigan... especially under a jacket. IMO a v-neck sweater would have worked better. Also... while I appreciate the shout out to % I think it was way too dressy up top to go sockless.

I 2nd that... D@M those shoes are nice.
