Even though I get what you are saying, honestly I found tits's analysis a little tired and pointless. I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, but something that makes a big difference in computer programming as far as color goes wont necessarily translate into a big difference to the eye. It probably doesn't even matter anyway because as SB noted, no one is looking at him in black and white. However as absurd as that is, I honestly saw what foo was talking about when he posted the b&w picture. So I guess my point is that foo's pointless point was better that tits's pointless point. Check out how many times I crammed "point" into that sentence. Badass.

Wearing brand logos is not in good taste. I think turquoise is a garish color, which is aggravated by the very "wet" shine of the silk square. The ps is far over-poofed---I doubt you want to call as much attention to it as you are. It's hard to tell what's going on with your shirt because of the light, but it seems rather bright. So your tie is too dark to mediate between the light shirt and the dark suit. I think the tie is also too "country" for this suit, regardless of color and contrast. Did I miss anything?

Thank you for your comments.  agree, the Isaia pin was a bit over the top.  When I first took the picture, and then saw it, I was tempted to remove it because I knew what the reaction would be on SF.  But, I wanted members to see the 'raw' image, if you will, and take my medicine.

The ps was a bit forced - The pattern on it was outlined by a purple line same as the shade in the tie.  I guess I was hoping that that would tie them in together.  Thank you for pointing out the 'wet' of the ps.  What tie could I wear with that then. if any?  Should it also be used for a lighter colored suit?  I am new to ps' - still experimenting with different poofing methods.  I'll get it someday 

The shirt is actually a pale blue and white houndstooth patterned shirt - pattern being washed out due to poor ipad camera and photographic skills.  Should the shirt be a bit darker or the color more intense?

I don't understand the tie being 'coountry'.  Could you elaborate a bit please?

I do appreciate the comments, and would welcome more feedback.  Could I just also ask for possible ways to improve it, changin maybe one or two items but leaving the rest?

Much appreciated.

Sorry, but this sort of riff-raff is what keeps disappointing the spirit of this 'good taste' thread to readers like myself, and I imagine to the members who have tried to be helpful.

This is not WAYWRN, although some members have started to treat it as such. This is simply not the place to post novice, garish outfits or to ask basic questions (the answers to which can easily be found by searching past discussions). I know you must be genuinely interested in learning and getting feedback, but if you have followed even just the last dozen pages of discussion, you can likely deduce that an ensemble with a loud pocket square bearing little to no coherence to the rest of the outfit, not to mention a brand pin, are far from good taste and does not belong here.

I think outfits posted here would greatly benefit from being accompanied by a few comments capturing why they think it is in or close to good taste. Ideally as a result they would refrain from posting if they cannot come up with a thoughtful explanation.
