Agreed - I dislike them alone with no jacket (although I used to wear that 20 years ago), and I also dislike them not matching with a business suit.  But as you said, this is exactly how it's supposed to be done.

Re. NYI's tie, I think it looks OK as the shirt and tie together contrast so much with the rest of the components.  But I do agree that it might work better with another colour group brought in there - if not the tie, then at least a PS.  On which point: I'd appreciate your view on my hurried and non-contrasting choice today - too dull?

I agree, odd waistcoats are less likely to work with suits - it can be done but most often failure is the end result.

Re: you outfit: Looks very conservative business dress to me, nothing I can really fault. Blue on blue on blue works in this case - it's probably one of few colours that will work like that (grey might also work). If I ever get around to posting pictures of what I am wearing today, you'll see that we have picked rather similar outfits, except my suit is a grey/blue PoW .

oh yea..lol..Ive been peed on..projectile poop in the mouth, everything....

sounds like a weekend i had in Tijuana once. Amazing what $50 USD will get you there.

Couldnt decide which jacket looked better, I feel the DB was a little too casual so i went with the SB on the right.

JCrew, RLBL, Drakes shantung, Malak Ni linen square, Panta, Pantherella, JL Westminsters

Whew, finally all my meetings are over for today! This suit has been displayed here a number of times before, but it's one of my favourite suits - so bite me :tounge:! Following Mimo's lead this is rather sparse when it comes to colours - mostly blue and grey.

Nah! I don't think Tibor copies anyone..

His outfits hark back to what Bogart and Cary Grant wore among others.

Ping - yours is nicer! I love that suit; no shame in giving it a lot of use.

Nice look, Claggy - I really like the shoulders on that jacket.


Edit: Stitch! Nice tie. Clashes with your socks but what the hell, eh?
