FRIDAY CHALLENGE 2014/2/28: The Uniform

[bourbonbasted]



Personally, I want to see an "undercompensated" outfit from bourbonbasted., cyber elitist.

You'd have to meet me to realize how little I compensate for with my clothes.

I didn't mean to launch a personal attack against anyone, just trying to both stir the pot and preach moderation, as is my usual role.

 

[Cantabrigian]



I'm seeing a lot of overcompensating with many of these fits. It seems a lot of people think navy jacket plus grey trousers and immediately start thinking of ways to, "not dress like a security guard." Overly patterned shirts, bright ties, too many accessories; all of these things really detract from the overall coherence the navy, grey and brown lend so readily.

There are very few people here who have honed their look to the point that "not being boring" should be a chief concern.

Two in charcoal

Glad I picked them up on Fleabay when I did because they never get listed anymore NWT

I also own Prestons. They are awesome.

I tried buying a pair in brown flannel during the last sale, but they didn't have any in 34
