It's a great idea and perfectly acceptable but like I said there needs to be at least some contrast or variation to differentiate the jeans from the SC etc. (otherwise the weird "suit / but not a suit" look). The shade of the shirt is great, just not the fit as the more casual, wrinkliness is somewhat at odds with the SC IMO. anyway...good attempt in theory and thanks for being receptive to critique and brave enough to post!
btw... about the brands.... definitely post them if you wish as people will inevitably ask you later if there is a piece they like. I was presumptuous in perhaps thinking "oh hey here's the new guy showing off all his Hermes, Etro and more esoteric French stuff like Billtornade..." It's not like everyone can wear/afford nice stuff like that all the time so as one of your first posts I wrongly assumed you were "brand dandying" for some internet adulation... that is not the case, my apologies, but as you will find it happens around here.
SvB is relevant because of your proportions/body type... I as well am long and lean, but not quite as much as SvB... it's just good reference to try techniques that will emphasize the "strengths" and downplay "weaknesses". For example, your fit did also kind of emphasize your shoes which made them look even bigger proportionally... I've seen this mentioned with SvB. So the question is how can one wear a slim, tapered look and not have the shoes look like gigantic clown shoes (yours were not in clown territory but looked a bit large and disproportionate overall). Anyway, hope this helps....glad to meet you and still hoping there's more Etro to come!
