HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[in stitches]



Just because your sleeves have cuffs, does not mean you have to roll them up so obviously.

FTFY

CEP: I would like that more with some contrast. As is, the tie looks washed out. There's nothing really to draw the eye and... center the fit.

Are the shoes from Corthay?

Yes, the Arca.

As I said, if you read my post, "I need to get the sleeves shortened, no idea why i was wearing them like that, just felt like it!", I was just playing around with a new jacket, I infact rolled them down when I went out as it felt weird

Really cool socks with a blue suit. Liking the shoes, too.

You look extremely smart with impeccable fit as usual.
I really like it when you use a PS (not often enough i think (for a guy with your sartorial ability)). Just to finish it off you understand.
Your tie could have more colour though.

First outfit really looks good!!
Good modern fit, beautiful colours, sophisticated smart casual. I also like that PS as lot with that outfit.

Second outfit also fits you well.
My main criticism is that I would change the shirt for a solid colour one, and I easily prefer the shirt in your first outfit because hmmm... too many stripes together and not enough difference in scale.
Then the milky pink tie that also makes a strange iffy little knot, I personally think you could carry off a tie that is a whole lot bolder and modern and shiny (silk) , or even more subdued with good texture, but with a bit more bulk so it makes a really good knot. Use up more 'real estate' in the tie knot area.
Pocket Square, I would probably stick to white cotton because of the pinstripes. rather than gingham?? (is it).
I realise you trying to do pattern on pattern on pattern. To me it seems all too much.

Thank you for your comments. I believe that the pic doesn't do justice to the texture or color of the tie. It's, at least in my opinion, pretty nice but as you pointed out I find it difficult to make a beautiful knot with it. Your pocket square suggestion is totally right.

How would one properly store their pocket square? Hang it or fold it back?

Proper or improper, I fold mine up and lay them flat in a drawer. Someone I know actually re-purposed a hanging CD/DVD file box for storing pocket squares - they hang, folded, and the box is clear plastic, so that he can see his entire collection at a glance.

For the truly anal, Kent Wang offers a pocket square stand: http://www.kentwang.com/accessories/pocket-square-rack.html

Spoo has one, and he's posted a couple pics with his rather extensive square collection on the rack. The effect is rather striking. I actually considered one myself, upon seeing Spoo's pic. But I quickly realized that I don't own nearly enough squares to fill the rack, and my closet space is at such a premium right now.

I like this, very simple and subtle (who said "boring"? :tounge: ). I use this same combo quite often myself.
The shoes looks very nice too (especially the last), who is the maker?

Tie less and boring today. Half day of work and have a social engagement that is casual after so wanted something easy to switch out of. Enjoy your wednesday folks.

Ken also sells the clips separately, so you can use any narrow bar (including that of a hanger) to hold them. Here's how I used the clips:
