Watch 'The Mentalist' for a good example of this. Usually his waistcoats are slightly contrasting to the coat and trousers but he does often wear matching ones too.

Regarding the initial question, I think a three piece without a tie would look odd.

I know Trep is not to everyone's taste on this side of the board...Originally Posted by loreley
Oh he seems like a nice enough young fellow ... decent looking too ... and even dresses okay. But ... I just don't trust people who self-promote the way he does. Moreover, what is it they say about names and faces in public places? Ah yes.

In that photo he reminds me of a twenty-something year old who is still very much learing to dress ... but is suffering a particularly bad setback.

Curtis Stone kept wearing them on Celebrity Apprentice last year...it just seems like the guy forgot his tie.Originally Posted by MrDaniels
Yes, it does look like he forgot his tie. It also appears as if he had a rough night in bed and forgot to comb his hair.

It seems to me as if he has latched onto a couple of recent fashions/fads and is trying to incorporate them all into a look that comes across as incoherent. Also it seems his shirt collar lacks moral fiber.
