whnay.'s good taste thread - Page 242

Teh beard was cropped out in the right pane

Just to annoy Foo, here's a pic of what I was wearing today - a plain white shirt coupled with a plain white linen square. I'm also wearing a pair of plain grey pick-and-pick socks

 

I've always kept it 100 on here whether in my critique of others, my own posted pics, stories, etc. So in that spirit:

I have realized that while I have been hard on Matt, Mike & others re their opinions on dress, I have realized that the day-glow ties & squares can be a bit over the top. No need to do pistachio/fuchsia shirt, pistachio/fuchsia tie & square, pistachio/fuchsia socks all of the time. As in my earlier confessional ITT I have resigned myself to take a gdlesque approach to MC. I say gdlesque because he does him without issuing forth dogma, seemingly forcing his tastes on others.

I have not only, to use TB's term, culled my necktie sitch but my suit and SC situations, too. I have already secured some soporific ties, more sedate suits, have taken Ed's advice and have dumped most of my contrast-collared shirts, etc. (still lurv them, tho).

I guess what I'm saying is I don't have to be all "in your face" to be a pcock because such comes from within-I will always be a pcock.

I have also taken queues from some of the more tranquil dressers on here which I view as a benefit. Will I still incorporate an FU look here and there? No doubt. But overall, I realized that I needed to stop gathering [PRL] overstock and being stuck throwing things together. Neither do you.

Take the advice offered here with a grain of salt and make your look work for you. Be happy in doing so. Life is short.

Is that a lavender stripe in your suit? If yes, that's quite nice.

Very interesting suit, that's a very interesting blue.  Nice socks as well.

on the loud side (which for some is automatically not good taste), but i quite like this fred, and i look forward to what will no doubt be an enthralling discussion of matching tie color to stripe color when wearing a pin/chalk stripe suit.



also, i see no stripes in the pants, i assume they are there but not visible in the pic.

Taste the blurry pudding:

I really like the color combo here, I think the only thing that bothers me is how skinny the lapels are however.

NORE - the fit is nice. well done.

Nope - its a blue stripe. Not quite as 'electric' in real life - the flash distorts the fabric a bit.

 

Excellent tie, NORE.

Very nice, NORE!
