Toying with the idea of getting a charcoal w/ blue pinstripe suit made, with blue buttons to match. Made a quick mspaint doodle of how different shirt + tie combos would look with it (some of which i already own)
tell me which is your favorite if you like
Also, picture this: A chocolate brown pinstripe suit, black velvet waistcoat with satin trim, black boots, and this particular shirt and tie combo.

(swap the tie bar for a tie pin)
I feel like as far as my sensibilities with color and pattern use are concerned I'm more aligned with @upr_crust than anybody else, I like to go for dark patterned suits against saturated colors and stark geometric patterns moreso than the more rustic, earthy palettes and patterns like those of @Encore and @An Acute Style
I've noticed you're one of the only regulars in this thread who regularly wear clip-on suspenders instead of button-tab suspenders or a belt. Not hating, love some clip suspenders, I just gotta wonder why, seems like an odd choice given its mostly dress pants you wear with them (I figure clip suspenders are more on the level of jeans and chinos formality-wise). Also those ones are pretty neat, where do you buy them?
Haven't been in the mood to take many full outfit pictures lately, but here's some recent combos I've put together:
I didn't expect it but this aqua mottled wool tie I have goes really well with my new tweed green sport coat

Taking a crack at the purple tonic jacket again, it's probably not unsalvagable.

1. I'm from New ZealandIt's good to see that I'm leading astray America's youth, though in a way that said youth is already bent towards straying . . . .

2. True, it seems like many in my generation, for lack of a distinct cultural identity or many new aesthetics to associate it with, turn to the past to inform their sense in fashion. It's easier now more than ever to get into wearing vintage and classic menswear and so there's a big niche for that in today's fashion world. It especially speaks a lot more to people like me even as a subculture in itself than anything that's "trendy" today, it's almost a counterculture in a sense.
to each their own i guess
