Last week in Bologna:

Ahhh, I miss Bologna. I lived there in 2006. Sartorially not the most interesting city in Italy, but the food....
That's Via Zamboni, right?
Great suit BTW!

@Braddock , I really liked that until I got to the absence of socks. I know it's a personal preference etc. etc. but I just don't feel a smart fit like that is best complemented by bare ankles.

@SeamasterLux - wonderful (as usual)

@DonCologne - a few too many colours there for me. I would have gone with at least a quieter shirt or different trousers. But it's your thing, and I'm the last person who's going to argue against colour in general!

Let overall aesthetics judge your fits. The whole city/country divide is superfluous nowadays but let's get to the details:

A white shirt is just another shirt even though it's used in a lot of formal events where it contrasts with the black suits/attire being worn but let's not exalt the status of a white shirt. The fabric, cut and collar determines it's scale of formality not the color (white). Brown suits used to be common place in both business and politics, it's no longer favored but you also have to bring in context. Is it a worsted brown suit or some form of heavy country tweed? Black captoes are just a common design for an oxford shoe that you can wear with most suits. A black tie that isn't a bow tie is just a versatile tie IMO.

Summary, don't overthink these things or you'll kill your creativity and limit your wardrobe

Another example of the combo with some modifications but same color scheme
