Not sure, if my shoes are a bit to light for this outfit... very italian feeling.

The shy dimple is his sprezz imo, Not regulation, but wouldn't call it a fault. The button looks to be at his natural waist, pic seems to be taken from slightly below centre.

Thank you. Probably just needs some time getting used to

Sprezz or not, it still looks limp. I didn't call it a fault nor am I aware of a rule, it just doesn't look good.

Agreed, it looks weird and it'll probably take more effort to dimple a tie like that than to dimple it properly.

Bit of an experiment for me today. Was in a hurry for work and needed to be warm, so I threw together some pieces I hadn't previously thought to combine.

Oddly enough, it seems to have cohered into something maybe vaguely "preppy" or "Ivy", although not being American, I claim no real understanding of those idioms.

The tie is Ralph Lauren and the other elements hail from Italy, Japan and England. A true mongrel of a fit!

I saw a pic of you standing (at some party maybe) and it looked 1000% better than these strange, sitting-on-a-library-stool fit pics. Just one man's opinion ....

If I were wearing yesterday's white linen suit, the party in question would have been the Frick Museum garden party, and I always look better after a glass or two of Champagne.

UpperCrust is enacting the classic 'awaiting tea service' pose. Seems obvious to me.

It seems to be my fate to look as if I've dropped in out of a BBC costume drama from "before the War" (WWII, WWI, the War of the Roses, the Hundred Years' War - take your pick . . .)

I saw Big A, Holdfast, and Crusty on the same page, so thought Id peek my head in here for the first time in ages.

Sup guys!

Yo, His Spoo-Ness - how are ya?

Pretty good outfit, for an improvisation. In my humble opinion there is just two things, as with a waistcoat i think we doesn't should see the belt with a cardigan (Nothing, high waist trousers, suspenders). And maybe the tie shoul be a little bit more tight. Otherwise, i really like this kind of combination of texture and color.

I think there's a reason you don't wear it that often; quite hard to wear with anything else than you're wearing it with now.

You are right!
I guess it would look OK with most of my plain color suits, but I can't figure how I would wear it without a plain white shirt.
