HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[add911_11]



Gentleman, I am going to a 1950s themed party on friday and I was wondering if this was along the right lines for the preppy look i'm going for...

Spoiler: Details

+1 you room is really chaotic, really need some clean up, have fun in the party, I believed the style choice is alright for the themed party, or in fact any nice gathering

Is that one of Ed's expressions? I'm afraid to google it...

I didn't want to google "Acute Compartment Syndrome" either...

I believe the correct euphemism is "spitting espresso".

Damn Nelton, clean your room!

I'm a teenage boy, what'd you expect! haha

Compartment syndrome is no joke. Mine is courtesy of good ol' Uncle Sam.

I think a tie is called for here.

Good afternoon everyone. It warmed up a bit so I tried to introject some spring color. Shirt is a navy/black check.

^Yeah, AE MCAsllisters, all I can afford or have access to atm. I have really wide feet and don't feel comfortable ordering shoes online w/o trying them on.

Thanks, all, for the kind comments and thumbs up.

In response to ianGP "[COLOR=FF00AA][COLOR=FF00AA]deets on shoes? Well done on the colors![/COLOR][/COLOR]" and Citan1145 [COLOR=FF00AA]"really unique shoes. lovely suit as always. i see you are trying more plaid ties with it. very nice." [/COLOR]
The shoes are Ferragamo. Not particularly my style. I'm not sure why I bought them. But, they fit so darn well.

In respone to EFV [COLOR=FF00AA]"Great look! I get some autumn vibes by the colours, but still love it."[/COLOR]: While the calendar says it is Spring, the temps, this morning, were below freezing. One last time for this suit for the season.

Slightly brighter

Soporific Monday.

Is this the Kent Wang suit?

However even those part-body snapshots can still be quite useful for seeing stuff like colours and textures when the photos themselves are good (Charlie's Wardrobe springs instantly to mind in this category: you can tell they're generally very good outfits even though they're part-body photos). My own photos suffer regularly from very poor lighting, but at least I am somewhat fortunate in having a window sill at a very convenient height and distance from where I stand.

Holdfast I missed this and thanks for posting. This is why I post and I have said it before, but I am happy with how everything fits and it's as much to show some of the guys that are looking for guidance colours, textures etc. I do however try and give as much an idea about the fit as I can when holding an iphone infront of me and always try and include waist suppression and the pockets and shoulders if possible. I would say I typically wear my jackets nipped in the waist and 1-2cm shorter than your own to use as a reference. I think I get away with a bit of suppression due to years of running and road cycling I have small hips, avoiding the flaring look at the bottom.
