Unseasonably warm and sunny day Friday wear...

conservative business dress? OK probably not, but aspects of it (small-scale birdseye suit, solid square, acceptably ubiquitous her-meez, button cuff shirt) are conservative enough to warrant a cross-post. And I did do a little bit of work while wearing it before escaping to enjoy a walk and afternoon tea in the sunshine...

Believe me, it's a more mythical entity on these shores than yours...

Amazingly, it's even predicted to stay warm and sunny over the entire weekend. The newspapers have already been busy printing photos of very pale people busily cultivating their incipient melanoma in the unexpected weather.

To be clear, you are talking about his shoelaces, no?

That bad, huh? I had a solid black cashmere tie and black cap toes on at first, but felt it was a little too bland for a friday.

That looks great, Manton. Conservative and subversively* luxe.


*I don't know if 'luxurious' is a component of conservative business dress or not.

I wear them, not much any more, but I think (know) you would look better w/o a belt. I adhere stictly to the rule that vests require suspenders. Well, not sweater vests but tailored vests.
