Hello, thanks for reading. I worry whether I'm not getting too carried away with diverse fabrics and clashing colors, and posting this thread to see if anyone calls it out as tasteless. I'm an art student, not a business professional, so I can get away with a bit more of whatever, if that makes any difference. I don't presume to really know what I'm doing in terms of buying and wearing clothes yet, I've been a long-time reader of forums like these but only infrequently have the opportunity to buy new clothes and put ideas to the test.
Sport coat is wool, three buttons, flap pockets, notch lapel. Large windowpane, in faded sky blue and sand gray-brown, with vertical stripes of mocha. Overall rather muted, very Autumnal.
Pale straw-yellow OCBD, solid. Like a custard. Barrel cuffs.
Trousers will be either warm tobacco brown linen with pleats and no cuffs, or I might dress it down a bit with spinach green, somewhat wide cord jeans (again no cuffs.) If it were warmer, I'd go with bright blue or red poplin; but it isn't, so.
Was thinking yellow, blue, and green argyle socks (BB), with light brown loafers.
Not sure yet what I'll do with the tie. Depends on the trousers I suppose. If they're the cords, I was thinking a blue knit. But if the brown trousers, then something mostly reddish or orangish, with a bit of green. Not sure which fabric to go with.
Pocket square will be selected at random.
Thanks very much for reading.
