HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

[MrDaniels]



Sup all! Just wanted to stop by and say howdy! I finally landed a new gig as an art director for a small advertising agency! Great way to start the new year! The down side (or upside depending on how you view it ) is that I won't be wearing suits much anymore. Hope everyone is well and enjoying the new year!
Cheers!

Congrats Pand! And what's to stop you from wearing suits anyway...you are an art director, you can march to your own beat.

That is indeed a very wide tie. I like ties wider than most but I cap out at around 3.75". You don't seem to be a particularly stout guy, either...I think you need to be pretty broad to make a tie that big work for you.

Like I wrote earlier the tie is matter of taste how small or wide you like them. And I like my ties like that

It's also a matter of proportion...just like lapel size. Both should be proportional to the width of your torso. There's some flexibility for personal preference, but I'm not sure you haven't stretched it too far. How wide is that tie? It looks like the tie is about 4" wide and you're about a 38 or a 40 jacket size...in which case, personally I think the tie exceeds the bounds of good taste.

Oh okay good. Yeah thats a good idea. The tie is a matter of taste, personally I like wider ties then that. Here is a picture of me and how I like it, maybe you will get an idea of what i'm saying.
As you see my pants are to tight here also and I think the shoes get so wide (not something I like)

Got ya, but do you think the tie goes well with the suit? This is the tie, http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&h...tbnw=131&start=27&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:9,s:27

Hi Erik,

They are from Nicolai d'etoiles. Spirit stores used to have these. These are from F/W2010-2011. I went there to get another pair and was told that the color (jade green) is not availabe anymore...
Too bad. I would really like a spare pair...

Glad you like it. We should have a SF-Malmö meeting sometime. Maybe there are more Malmöbor here?

Great pants. I just recently finished making a pair of cords in a similar color and was planning on posting pics tomorrow - of course now that I'm going to look unoriginal I might try to copy the whole look... although my only pink shirt is still in on the way in the mail... I will think of something. Thanks for the inspiration.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

I like the wine cords too... I need to go fabric shopping again soon.

I hope your balls don't sag as much as your chin.

Those were Ferragamos, from their Tramezza range.





In retrospect, today's choice of square was a mistake. I give short shrift to any who argue against the tie, however.

​

Did you steal the tie pattern from my grandmother's couch? She's been missing the material for some time. Just fess up to it so that we can get some closure.

 

[HgaleK]



maybe more appropriate in casual
the courts are closed today (MLK jr. day) and we do not have any client appointments
so i decided to skip the tie
is the gingham shirt and pocketsquare too close in scale?
acceptable? not a big deal?

This one is just too easy. I'll let you reconsider the merits of this fit on your own time, seeing as I'm simply not spiteful enough to do this visual obscenity justice.

Quick snap from the day. Not seen: my skirt, which looks like a picnic basket.

So I'm probably going to be banned in the morning. Until then, I got bored and decided to be honest in MC.
