Really good monochrome outfit Sir.
Only positive suggestions..
Excellent collar fit, looks snug without being uncomfortable, good collar height and stance, good tie knot (personal opinion - add a second turn to make it a DFIH to add interesting visual detail).
SC fits well, nice high gorge I like the high sleeve openings as well.
Pocket square is good but again - personal opinion - add more fold or turn it edges and corners up to add interesting visual detail (see example pics below, with respect, I am sure the owners of these pics will not object)

Maybe a shiny or brushed steel tie bar/clip, nothing like the glint of steel to catch the eye. (more detail)








Thanks very much for the comments!

The collar of this shirt is great. I think that when I put together a Luxire order soon I'll ask if they can replicate it.

I wear a double four-in-the-hand knot with everything except grenadines - I've not tried it but the material seems too thick to work with the double layering.

Suit is SuitSupply flannel in the London cut from last winter's collection.

Appreciate the feedback. :)

More cas' today. Jeans and no tie. Also wearing one of my favorite jackets which, surprisingly, has never appeared on SF before.

I should wear one of my better SCs with jeans to work. I don't think I'd try wearing a PS though. I doubt if most of these people even know what one is and it might cause a hysteria.

More black grenadines!

Looks good!

I will add turtlenecks to my repertoire ASAP thanks to your posts! I dig that look.

I never felt comfortable wearing them before but I think the cool look is worth it.

Today. An improvement from yesterday, let me assure you, but still not sure I'm back on whatever semblance of game I had. Last time I tried this SC, SB suggested I try it with lighter, trou and tie. So here's my attempt. I also tried for a lighter square, but couldn't find anything that didn't clash with the gun check tie.

GMMcL, that looks pretty good, though an off-white or pale blue shirt would have been optimal. Or is your shirt actually ecru?

Nice use of patterned pents

Thanks, all. The shirt is white. I tried the ecru, but it was too matchy with the ground of the tie. Also tried powder blue AND light blue with a faint, very tight green stripe. Neither worked, so I just gave up and went all blank canvas.

Really like the orange here! I hope you don't mind me asking, but how do you fold your PS like that? I've managed to fold it in similar way a couple of times by accident, but was never able to properly recreate it afterwards.
