I don't really know if this qualifies, but there's black (!) in the shirt and it's as peacocky as you'll ever see me wear.

That's a bit on the verge, don't know what to say. From a distance it seems to look grayish, which in theory would make it valid, but it's not far from "off-white"...

Do you have a shot that shows the shirt better from a few feet away?

Looks like brownish grey from a distance - It's on the very limit, but I think I'll accept it

And with such different results...

Can't say I've considered wearing a green dress shirt so haven't thought about what it goes with but this challenge has taught me that blue blazer / tan trousers seems like the only (or one of very few) workable options for a green shirt.

Grey glen plaid, not so much.


I think these are the pants that Liverano is wearing this outfit with. They are Minis Fresco. I have to see if I can find the full outfit. I think it looks very good.

I tried to duplicate, but was no bueno.

My shirt a touch brighter and not stripes but tiny gingham.
Also the grayness of this photo tones the colors done.

I think it is also in part to all the items having some nice texture to them.

Usually I wear this purple gingham shirt without a tie, but gave it a run as a little more formal for this challenge. Cheers.

Question for you all...if I were to wear this shirt with a tie again, what other colors could work? I have a medium gray with a very subtle glen plaid that to my eye might be ok. Anything else?

I'm intending on wearing this shirt tomorrow. I'm hoping to get this in on precedent. I tried to use this for the pink shirt challenge and it was ruled as being red. Will the precedent be accepted?

that one is fine. looks pale red from a distance, most shirts like that end up looking pink, but this one does look reddish.

If he can't provide one and he says it's red I guess I'll accept it... though I'd have liked to see more exotic colors here guize
