I think you have your plan.
Persons who would visit this site, this forum, are a tiny part of your viewers. The pick stitching count and whether the button holes are done by hand or machine is not important to your viewers. Well fitting suits with shirts that aren't crazy and ties that are knotted well will make you look professional to the viewers. If you go too far with waist suppression and tailoring to the last millimeter you may end up with gaps and wrinkles as you move on screen and lift arms to point at something. As for ties, none that are too tight of a pattern as it goes wonky in the cameras and makes for some distracting pattern crawl. No four in hands as they creep to one side and make you look like you do not care in spite of the high favor of that knot here.

Let's keep the party going. I know you really cant see too much in this picture, it's a bit tighter than usual... Nonetheless heres the specs Harvie & Hudson cutaway collar, and 40R Calvin Klein X Fit Suit Generic Skinny/Slim Tie Arrow Slim Fit 16.5 Collar shirt.... Some trash I bought at Kohls. Collars a bit big I prefer a 16. Regular Fit 40R Michael Kors suit. Had suit tailored.
Someone said, "There's really nothing more to say." But there is - those are lousy color combinations. 1) The tie is too similar to the suit color. 2) The shirt and tie compete with each other; a lighter blue would be better. Also, the first tie is too narrow, and arguably the knots are slightly too narrow in all the pictures. Possibly nitpicking for a normal person, but a newscaster likely risks such feedback from viewers.

Well thank you.
I appreciate feedback.

"strange what working for a minor broadcaster does for the ego."

I am simply asking for people's feedback. I have not once flexed my ego in any manner, but apparently people are getting their own egos hurt.

If people want to be douche bags. They can be douche bags.
While my fashion sense may not be the best, which is why I came to this forum. I never acted in an egotistical manner.
