Explorations of Questionable Taste: The Pink Sportcoat Thread

[Beadhead]

I demur.

Demur away, it's still stunning.

So, I heard the used car business was really booming since the pandemic. How you guys finding it?

Ah ha ha.

Gosling is a Zegna spokesman I think.

If I wear what Ryan Gosling wears, and style my facial hair like he styles his, I will look as good as him, right?

A new one from Attolini FW 23-24 collection:

Brooks Brothers had a neat pink linen suit from The Great Gatsby. I keyed in on it instantly but couldn't think of any real occasions to wear it. No one ever invites me to weddings in the Hamptons.

I looked at that thing for a long time when it came out and ultimately decided that if Daisy's going to love me, she's going to have to to love me in white-collar-drone-chic. Besides, it seems like a great way to accidentally out myself as a not a real Oxford man.

Killed it so hard in Q2 that I can go full Herb Tarlek with the matching check trousers while flying my new girlfriend Starla and her fourteen year old daughter Kelcii in Business+ class for six days and fight nights at the best all inclusive resort in all of Panama City FL. Comes with vouchers for a free draft beer or house brand liquor with each meal even because she's dating a pacesetter, baby.

Jokes aside, the guy in the pink chore coat with camp collar floral shirt actually kind of has the right idea. Just replace the greasy fat goon with a skinny Italian or Japanese dude in a boater hat, Frank Clegg bag, and Baudoin and Lange loafers and you immediately go from scumbag to Pitti.

Also in the new Cesare Attolini collection (not really pink but gorgeous nonetheless).

Man, you -are- a pace setter. It must be the pink. It's the only reason you can ABC in your sleep. I knew it, I'm just not committed to the biz enough. Here I am still going Comfort+ and getting only free drinks when I've sat for over an hour at the slots at the Mohegan Sun.

I'm thinking of ordering some Thai silk in Bis Mol for my sportscoat. Thinking a Glenn Plaid pattern would just compliment the subtleties of the Bis Mol shade, especially if it's lime green - you know, super subtle.

Sartoria Dalcuore.

Not a fan of the lining.

Stile Latino.

I was expecting this thread to go full on #barbiecore

While in our minds, a pink suit might be considered "questionable taste", clearly there are examples in this thread that prove one can be of exquisite taste.

I ordered the swatches from Dugdale earlier, just to start getting some handy.

If I were to get a pink SC it would definitely be along the lines of a dusty pink like this.
