I think it's passed the experiment stage. I'm enjoying the relatively constrained point of view (not that I dislike much of the experimentation in the main WAYWT thread - but I might be in the minority).

Also, these are my zany socks. Rather than being just solid navy, they are solid navy ribbed

Looks good. Great tie. Socks are a bit extreme

Lighting is a bit dark on my screen. Trousers are a very, very dark brown/charcoal, and the shoes are dark mahogany brown.

I bet I can guess which specific aspect will draw fire...

I don't mind the pale/dark look, but hey, what do I know?

Looks good, but I can't help thinking the jacket could be half-inch longer. It's extreme nit-picking, but the proportions don't look quite right even if the jacket passes the hand grab test. Might just be camera angle.

Thx, MOK. It's funny you say that because I have a preference for a slightly longer coat and this coat is one of the shorter ones I own. Even though it may be appropriate length in terms of the general rules, it feels a little short to me too.

Quick trip to London. Only took one picture, but you get the idea.
