Seersucker contest finalists

See: Contest announcement and entries Our illustrious judge, AlanC, writes: "Thanks to all who entered. I was torn on some of the entries, but wanted to limit myself to only four finalists. I also wanted to go for different approaches to using seersucker. You can decide which look is done most successfully." voxsartoria AlanC: Vox hits all the right buttons from patch pockets to ring to grosgrain watchband and location. swaggerisaliability AlanC: A different direction, nice use of bow tie and belt. niidawg3
AlanC: I love a spread collar with seersucker. Whateveryoulike AlanC: Great shoes, great tie. ----------------------------------- The first place prize is $75 credit from Kent Wang and one bow tie from The Cordial Churchman. Second place prize is $25 credit from Kent Wang and also one bow tie from The Cordial Churchman. The criterion is simply best use of seersucker. This can mean head-to-toe seersucker or just a single piece. Poll closes on 26 June. See: All entries Kent Wang's seersucker pocket squares are the ideal pocket square for the summer, and all year round. The same can be said of The Cordial Churchman's seersucker bow ties:

Neos shoe pic didnt make it?? Even though that was only knees down, that picture summed up the seersucker aesthetic 100% IMO.

Obviously, Prince Don Fabrizio Salina gets my vote.

I was planning to vote for him as well. Not sure if I'd be voting for the quality of the pictures/aesthetic of the shoes/aesthetic of the woman next to him much as I would be voting for an interesting use of seersucker, though

I agree 100%. From the finalists we have, I voted vox (though those trousers look dangerously tight), but Neo's shoe pic was brilliant and would have got my vote.

vox, very proper

Was gonna vote for Vox's look, but the douchebaggy Harvard ring close-up killed it.

The devil-may-care attitude is one of the reasons I voted for him.

Hard to vote against Vox's fit and scenery, but I am a big fan of whateveryoulike's shoe and tie selection. Vox gets enough praise around here anyways (for good reason), he can afford to lose one.

I voted for Vox because he is very elegant...

I'm not very keen on any kind of rings or bracelets on men..

I would have voted Vox; however, too much blue for my liking. I wonder if he is starring in the Smurf movie.

Whateveryoulike is always very elegant...

I love the shoes...

I might have voted for swagger if he were wearing pants not shorts but ties blazer or suit jackets and long sleeve dress shirts should be reserved for pants not shorts.
