HF, I'm one of those that would never wear a tie with jeans (so, totally unlike NOBD

) but I think this works well: The colourful, large gingham + the sporty tweed coat + the solid woolly tie (could've been a knit as well) all seem appropriately casual for the jeans, which in turn are dressy enough for a tie.

I can't really tell from the pic, but hopefully that's not a french cuff on the shirt

Disaster, Crat. But a full-blown, no-holding-back disaster.

I agree. There's absolutely nothing right about his at all! Mind you, I prefer someone to really go for it and blow up completely than the kind of timid and bland failures that most of us manage.

I disagree. I think. A mid-gray, donegal-ish tweedy jacket could have been kinda cool with this. Maybe.

But, Crat, never those pants and that jacket. Just don't.

Nice boots.

Fair enough. Different jacket, different pants, different PS, and Crat might be onto something.

This is "Eat your heart out, Pitti."

And stop mirror-shining those boots, Cr!

I'll try that tmr., something less in-your-face

This outfit was meant to be terrible.

The trousers are by OBEY, bubba

DB jacket, BD shirt..., suede shoes! And a lot of stacking

Now that's the late 80s/early 90s I remember...

Thanks. This shirt is from my Victor period when I ordered almost any fabric with double cuffs. If/when it needs recuffing, it will be done as a button cuff (assuming the fabric can still be found, of course). Would it help if I said I chose a chunky/informal cufflink?

Objective achieved.

Actually, if roll neck were tucked in and the coat swapped for something urban/military-esque like a bomber jacket or a field coat, I could sort of work. Ish. Maybe?

Casual enough to x-post into here I think:

(In case you miss my note in the main WAYRN, NOBD, this is the beige Lockie roll neck I mentioned a couple of days ago. As you can see it has more presence than the thinner white Ballantyne from that day's look. More casual, and more versatile. The photo doesn't really illustrate the natural colour variations I can see IRL, but you get the overall idea.)
