[jcmeyer]



A very close competition. I went for sycsyc.

Yo tambien.

 

[DiplomaticTies]



Wait, I thought I was disqualified - don't vote for me!

I decided to let you stay for two reasons:

1. Nice jacket
2. Cat

 

[Gerry Nelson]

Well done, @Murlsquirl !

Looking forward to your moral squirrelly challenge!

 

[sebastian mcfox]

Congrats squirrel!

 

[Murlsquirl]

Sweet. Thanks, guys.

Alright, let the suggestions start flowing...

 

[Claghorn]

Not CM Challenge! Because trainwrecks are the best.

Low contrast challenge! Because we need to annoy that Tetsuo guy more.

Tweener challenge! Because we are in between seasons.

Odd colored challenge! Because there is too much blue, brown, and gray around here (see what I did there?)

iGent challenge! Because let's embrace what we are.

Beard Challenge! Because, **** yeah, facial hair.

Politician challenge! Replicate or improve upon an outfit worn by a politician. Does not have to be part of the current election cycle. But yes, I fully expect @in stitches to dress like Hillary.

The Unorthodox Icon Challenge! Mimic a style icon breaking some "rule."

Accessory challenge! Incorporate a non-standard WAYWRN accessory.

Sweet. Thanks, guys.

Alright, let the suggestions start flowing...

I like what they're doing on the other side of the pond, which is more of a thematic challenge. Not too many entries the last time I checked because of the heavy hitters and the story-telling aspect, but in general it might be cool to do something in the realm of:

1. "The day I quit my job"
2. "Best dressed dad at the BBQ"
3. "Running for President."
4. "Instagram #menswear expert"

Also, and maybe this isn't the place for it since you also posted in WAYWRN, but for discussion sake I thought the brown of your pants was a little too dark to play nicely with the the blue of the jacket. But I may be alone there and congrats all the same!

 

[jcmeyer]

Ha, Clags and I on the same page for a couple of those.

 

[Murlsquirl]

How about a "casual element" challenge where you have to have at least one casual element in your fit...sneakers with a cotton suit, denim with a SC, polo with SC, turtleneck with SC, etc.?

 

[sebastian mcfox]

That's a great idea

Thanks. They're actually not dark at all....look at the closeup. They are tobacco fresco.
