My issue today was his tie/shirt combo. The pattern sizes are too similar. Keep the tie, but swap for a solid pink, instead of a pink check, shirt. Or keep the shirt, but swap for a solid, instead of houndstooth, tie.

Did I miss something?

I only recall one fit pic from Spoo, and it was very congruent and not loud at all.

Actually if I recall correctly she looked fantastic.

Thanks. Solid navy. Dark seemed the right compromise.

Well...definitely not today.

By SF standards, your shirt choice is a tad more daring than some crazy socks

. I with socks, I tend to go with eccentric, but not necessarily 'daring.' For example, purple, scarlet, green, etc.

There's a bunch of Nagranis on sale on B & S right now.

The burgundy ones sfefferz has are particularly nice. Very rich color IRL.

And with regards to me ... i have actually become more daring in patterns and colors than when i started. I didnt even wear fancy socks regularly when i joined SF. I didnt dare go stripes on stripes on stripes. The biggest improvement to my gear since joining SF has been the fit of my clothes ... color and pattern matching havent changed much, and if they have its fore more daring than less.

Its frustrating to see people constantly try to impose the SF approved colors of navy, grey, white and brown on others - and its usually people who never post their fits. I think its just silly to expect everyone to keep to that. This is not a catholic school, where we have to wear uniforms. .

I guess its your opinion. I'd really like to see your fits to get a better opinion of the style behind the infamous zbromer. Same goes for Diavolo.

Oldog/oldtrix, Fabulous! Love the drape of the coat and full trouser. The collar spread is perfect. Who makes these sartorial masterpieces?

Good luck finding out oldog's sources ... lol.

Threadbearer is doing his best to make "ze black shirt" acceptable on SF.

I applaud his efforts.

Ah, of course it is. I'm familiar with that piece of jewelry, but couldn't make the connection, given its location.
