I think burnt orange would look good. Dunno why.

Charcoal sportcoats just aren't really my cuppa. I think they are hard to pair and that this look would be much better with a navy SC. FWIW, I don't think the shirt is all that problematic.

Hmmm, I don't think they are that hard to pair, only because there's a single pant colour that works with them: light gray. So you don't have to think much

But they are as easy to accesorize as a charcoal suit, which is why I like them, though they don't get much love around these parts.

The fabric for a charcoal SC needs to be an obvious odd jacket cloth, though (fuzzy plaids, tweeds...). Otherwise it's too easy to look like an orphaned suit jacket.

Some (hopefully) good taste on a Saturday at the office:

Glen check suit, blue shirt, brown tie, Rubi square, light brown shoes.

Looking awfully nice for a Saturday in the office!

Anyways, it looks like the scale of the pattern on the tie clashes with the PoW check on the suit, but it's kinda hard to tell.

...i dont think loud socks would take away from the top half being posted here as good taste. if i were wearing serious FU pants that would be one thing, but if the whole fit is reasonably in good taste, i dont think that socks that may be off prevent the top from belonging here. just my opinion...

Ah, but isn't the devil, or God, in the details?

I'm dubious about today's shirt being in good taste (and as a consequence, the whole outfit, due to excessive pattern usage), but I ran out of solid light blue shirts; otherwise this would have been a light blue OCBD. The pattern on the jacket is so subtle maybe this is acceptable. Shirt is a med blue/white bengal stripe and I'm thinking it would help if the stripes were lighter, too. Any thoughts? Colours are closer to reality on the full body shot.

IMHO, it works.

Chambray = plain weave, colored warps, white weft
End on end = plain weave, darker warps, lighter weft
