FRIDAY CHALLENGE 16th JANUARY - ONE DAY AT PITTI 87 (EVEN VIRTUALLY)

[NOBD]

[An Acute Style]

I heard we were going to Pitti. Props to @EFV for the color inspiration. Let me check my list: hat, patterned bag, bold overcoat, bold gloves (bonus points: gloves in overcoat chest pocket, more bonus points: two pair of gloves), bright colors, classic patterns, big scarf (bonus points: sport coat buttoned over scarf), loafers, bright socks, lapel flower, several items in the same pattern (bonus points: black watch, more bonus points: double glen plaid). Ok, back to the real world. I have to grade Algebra 2 papers.

Oh hell yes, Garry.

I want Linos coat.

As this suit has now been granted the official Pitti Blogger Seal of Approval, I felt it appropriate to press it into service for the Challenge.









Eeek. Forgot my wrist hardware.

Absolutely lovely, and way too tasteful...

I think I disagree, though you are right, this is more tasteful than the standard Pitti fare

But if that's what SML would wear to Pitti, that's what he would wear. I put a decent amount of thought in what I would wear for the challenge. I considered going over the top...but it wouldn't be an outfit I'd be comfortable with. So I asked myself what I would actually wear if I had to spend one day at Pitti and arrive at an outfit I'd be happy with. Something slightly more exuberant than my standard dress but also something that I'd feel wearing on a whimsical Tuesday in May.

This might not be in the spirit of the challenge, but I think the entries would be more interesting if everyone took this approach as opposed to the "how Pitti can I be approach." Though that's probably more fun

I had a lot of fun assembling my fit, but I can't imagine wearing it anywhere.

We shot the photos in the parking lot out back of our apartment block. It's overlooked by a construction site swarming with lots of very manly Aussie blokes wearing stubbies, singlets and Blundstones. (Google it.) I was a bit worried about getting egged from on high...but I suppose they don't bring eggs to work.

Wow. Ray Charles could see some of you guys coming. I'm steering way clear of this one.

Not sure what's wrong with me because I quite like it - apart from the Panama of course

.

Though I agree you are running a risk if you wore it in the streets of Sydney. And bloody hell you must have been boiling up.

Same here. And then I decided that therefor I would sit out.

Varied a theme on what I was planning to wear anyway, and so we have my entry. Overcoat as shawl (the fit of which suggests that these guys buy their coats 5 sizes too big, just to wear as a shawl): check Vibrant accessories (belt, shoes): check Consciously jauntified accessories - glasses in pocket, tie askew, jacket sleeve un/button pattern made to look seemingly random, but highly premeditated: check Talking on cell phone (to no one) to seem extremely important: Check Gloves in pocket (which fell out 300 times, suggesting these guys might have them sewn in): Check Sockless despite freezing temperatures: Check DB jacket inner button done, but outer button undone, simulating "rushing" out of the house as if being discovered by a jealous husband: Check

In preparation for Piti 2016, someone needs to start a satirical website that purports to sell such things.

Or perhaps one that *actually* sells such things.

Cheers,

Would you deviate at all from your standard WAYWRN fits?

I think if I was actually there, I'd wear what I'm wearing now or go the gdl route with a nice sweater, nice pair of trousers, and a jacket.

Footnote:

I think this challenge should have been called "Pitti Party."

Carry on.

Honestly, no probably not at all. I mean, if I was there for a few days I am sure I would try and go with the flow and peacock a little at least once, but for the most part, Id just be me.

That gdl fit was perfection.
