Nothing special to show. So glad that it is Friday.
Much applause for today's post by RDiaz. He has assembled a really nice combination of color, pattern, and texture.

Much appreciated

You're looking sharp as usual, and I like your bowtie a lot. I'm starting to really love wool neckwear, shame I don't have much of it...

And though my opinion probably doesn't count much, I really like everything in Foo's pic, both the outfit itself and photography. I usually don't like small knots with spread collars but this one looks good, perhaps because of the collar's softness. And the jacket is just plain awesome.

I'm not alluding to it. I'm saying it. It's not a pretension. I'm a visual artist. What do you do, perhaps I can break it down for you differently? How is it not a truth? I'm not making something up. We look at things and they are either harmonious or they aren't. Some things are pleasing in proportion and some are not. In music, something sounds harmonious or it sounds discordant, right?


Perhaps the presence or the lack visual harmony applies to more distinguishable scenarios (like a suit that screams for a tie, but is worn casually). To babble about visual harmony with regard to a photo of someone's shirt collar and tie knot shapes seems ridiculous. Furthermore, in my opinion, there is a lot of room for preference in such a matter, especially given Mamoofan's experience and enthusiasm for the area. I found that many "visual artists" are the ones who think they dress well but actually dress like ****, as noticed by someone with hands-on experience.

Hi there, n00b with only 29 posts here.

I'm not prepared to created a mathematical proof as to why, but for whatever reason, I like this better:
700


The knot in the image is scaled up 50%.

Just my opinion. Respect to Foo.

Once you show the capacity to lose Alpha points, you forfeit the right to ever call yourself an Alpha.


That sounds good on paper, but I'm afraid that in the opinion of most men, we have all shown a great capacity to lose Alpha points just by posting here.

A close up of yesterdays fit with a couple from today, unfortunately not of the same photo quality as yesterday:

I don't much care for Ant Honey's manner, but I think he's right about Foo's tie-knot. I love the collar and indeed everything else about Foo's look, however.
