FRIDAY CHALLENGE 11/8/2013--TURTLENECKS

[Claghorn]

Anyone with multiple pictures should indicate which they don't want me to spoiler. Otherwise I'm just choosing what I think the worst best one is.

Thanks, although I think you may be in the wrong thread then.

True, but this thread has swayed me at times. In my opinion, GDL and T1 are the front runners. Those two just make it look effortless and honestly, it is quite irritating!

Where did you get your hat?!

The difference (for me) between a scarf and a PS or boutonnière is that the former originally was intended to serve a functional purpose and the latter two were always intended to be accessories.

"...to wide and clean his nose..."

There's also a good chance that each were used during plague times because everything stank of death and sickness, so a rose or a hanky with a drop or two of perfume to hold under your nose came in pretty handy.

Ties were used to catch food dripping down to the front of your shirt. Cummerbunds were meant to be worn ridges up because they catch crumbs. Just about every piece of fashion accoutrement has or had a practical purpose. That's one of the reasons I think it's all so cool!

Poll is up.

 

[Jamesgatz]

GDL, Kaplan, and NOBD were the best, IMO. Turtleneck works best for dressy casual.

With jacket HF pulled it best.

IanE go see a hair dresser. initially I skipped by your post but after putting my thumb over your noggin I realized that we are here to judge outfits and yours is actually pretty good and it wouldn't be fair to deny yourself the vote due to your schweddy hair.

A.J.V wins in my opinion. Close second is GDL (shameless repost IIRC) . Kaplan, Casey and Leftofthedial's necks are pretty sweet, too.

^ What Clapey said.

Where did you find this shade of camel in the casentino please sir ?

The coat is made by Tagliatore.

Bought it from a shop here in Helsinki.

 

[Betelgeuse]

Voted for a bunch of contestants, but my fav was A.J.V.

 

[Claghorn]

When you get that ponytail, will you also buy a used 96 Mazda Miata?
