HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III - Page 2973

While I agree, I still like the outfit.

I don't rate in absolutes.

Thank you for the feedback. I'm not a big fan of yellow ties but I kind of like this one. Glad you like the ensemble.

Nice.  Although it did make me think of this:

 

At work but:

 

Black and white small pattern gingham shirt with button-down collar.

 

Navy Sta Prest with frog mouth pockets.

 

Black oxford shoes with toe cap.

 

Black leather belt with iron roller buckle.

Playing with my "new toys" again - the suit and the shoes.

I think I picked the wrong pocket square. Any thoughts on this?

 

 

I think maybe because the jacket has such a strong pattern, the multitude of colours are just too jarring, and the green is a harder shade than everything else, it just doesn't join in.  I think you might try a mid to dark blue; a paisley or floral might work if it's shades of blue rather than multi-coloured.  Alternatively, maybe a coloured border on a white PS - would give you some options on colour choice without fighting your awesome jacket.  Plain white is safe and would totally work here, but it's nice to be original eh?

 

Never mind - you're surely still the best dressed dude in Dubai.

 

Yeah, the green is a bit deep for the rest of it. I glanced at my white linen PS this morning and said "Eh, maybe." but in an instant I decided to go with green. I think a bit more reflection would work next time lol.

 

As for Dubai, if you don't wear a pink silk tie here you are just not with the "in" crowd.

 

Double gin, double windsor and double prostitutes...I know the type!

 

 

You hit the nail right on the head!

 

 

 

This is where I was going with this. Was wondering if I would be desecrating some shoes to the point of getting banned. But apparently I'm not alone. Their toecaps are terrible. If you notice, every time someone comments about your shoes being too small for your feet, its with these toecaps. The shape just doesn't fit your foot right.

 

But, of course, take this with a grain of salt from a guy who has never posted a pic in here. Other than the shoes, I quite enjoy the stuff you put in here

I think a darker colored square, in green or even navy, would work better. Not sure if white linen would be that great; a little too harsh contrasted with the other colors in the outfit.

 

Navy eh? Hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Thanks for the comment on my posting today, and the type of gentleman to which you refer above, when not in Dubai, haunts the lounges of five-star hotels in London - you have indeed hit the nail upon the head!
