HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part III

^^agree completely HF. good call on the shoes.

I love the idea of using the spring colours within a darker fit. I wonder if the tie & shoes are pulling a little too separately (ie causing the eye to keep jumping from one to the one rather than taking the whole look in). Maybe the bright tie (or shoes) alone would have been enough to create the same spring effect.

When I saw this, I was thinking that even though I don't normally like really bright ties or light shoes with darker suits, I liked this fit. I think it might be because the shoes pull my eye away from the tie and vice versa. If one or the other were more sober, I think I'd feel like I was paying attention to just the bright one. Also, I think the pattern use is crucial here -- more than one pattern, and it would be too busy, but it wouldn't look as good without the patterned shirt.

It's 90% good. Shoes, socks, suit & shirt are all fine. A stronger/brighter tie (or a solid black, if going the other way) would have nailed this IMO.

thank, HF. might try that next time.

I know that there has already been discussion about these shoes, but what I am still curious about is the "why"? It's like your outfit is a mullet - business on top, party (well, a casual hipster party) on the bottom. If I cover the bottom half of the picture you're meeting with clients. If I cover the top half, you're running errands around the park. I'm confused. Show me the light.

If the denim was something special, and the kicks were cooler, then it might work. I'd also go for a knitted wool tie or an old ivy-style repp number if I was going for a tie at all.

+1. I can't make sense out of a tie paired with orange sneakers. And I can only make sense of orange sneakers when actually jogging.

agreed. i think it was whimsical when he wore them with denim and sportcoat and no tie...but i think this is a no go.

Nice suit, mate!

I'm confused. I love the upper body outfit but the bottom is pretty meh to me (including the belt). Maybe a plain khaki chinos, a pair of brown suede monks and a dark knitted tie would work better as a "business casual" outfit, IMHO.

Thanks! More luck than anything else as I haven't changed any of the settings since the last shot
