whnay.'s good taste thread

Really a shantung tie and any worsted suit seems wrong to me.

Really nice, ROT

It seems like it took about two days for you to change your mind on this subject.

There's a saying in French : "Il n'y a que les imbéciles qui ne changent pas d'avis" (only idiots never change their mind)

(and a famous quote of Jacques Chirac, who added "c'est ce que j'ai toujours dit" (I've always said that) )

I don't see anything wrong with shantung+worsted, but the only shantungs I like are solids.

I commented on it in gdl's thread when he posted it. I think with fresco it's nice - fresco has more texture than the kind of worsted ROT wore in the first pic.

Luftvier, you have changed so much. For the better.

Cross-post from conservative business dress thread. May be too dull to be considered truly good taste - but today calls for UCBD

Not dull, fantastic.

Just enough interest in the shirt. Nice.

Thank you very much - that's what I was hoping to do with it. The shirt is a royal oxford alumo cloth, made up by Sean O'Flynn

Navy DB, light blue BB OCBD, navy silk textured weave tie.

I suspect some will not be down with the stripes of the suiting. But, I think it's still tasteful.

I always take a pass on this sort of fabric because even though it looks nice, I feel like it would require my brain to do somersaults in order to arrive at combinations I would be fully comfortable with. So basically I'm too chicken to select fabrics like this but I applaud you for being daring. As for this specific combo, there's nothing specific I can point to, it's just not completely harmonious. How's that for a useless critique

This tie might sink me today.

The tie is atrocious. The shirt could do with a wider spread collar. Finally, did you tear up toilet tissue and stuff it into your breast pocket(?)
