Hey there guys, decided on a whim to post what I wore today for the first time. Sorry about the pictures, had a place picked out to shoot outside and the skies opened up. Don't really know what I'm doing as far as matching goes, just went with what I had in my mind. Also I think the PS looks weird, but I couldn't figure out how to get the yellow frame to show with the patterned inside. The socks were more for comedic purposes than anything else, I don't think I'd wear them anywhere besides the office. Any advice/comments much appreciated.

The jacket seems to fit you more or less round the neck and shoulders, hard to tell the length though with your arms folded.
Trousers are very narrow from the knees downwards and has a low rise as i can see your shirt and bottom of your tie in the gap.
Shirt collar fits right. Tie, tighten the knot itself and then tighten it round your neck. The PS seems to have the correct kinda colours in it, but it looks to be silk so puff it instead of folding it to make it look better.

1. really hard to get much from the pics and way you are crossing your arms, regarding fit. but pants seem to need shortening and your tie is too short.

2. black suits are not gonna get you any love here.

3. yellow anything will not get you much love here.

4. pull your tie up.

5. dont fold your PS like that.

6. wear shoes.

7. matching color tie, PS, socks is too matchy.

8. keep reading and improving.

:)

This is my first tailored suit. What do you think? There is obviously still some work to be done like shortening and fitting the pants a bit more, I think they are wider/ baggier than they should be. The collar on the jacket is to be made as well as some adjustments to the shoulders.

I hope those shoes are plastic and not real crocodile scales. I mean you wouldn't really go kill a crocodile and then paint its skin brown just to make shoes out of it would you??
