HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

[upr_crust]

The design problem for today was - how to integrate a very practical but ugly pair of hiking boots (due to conditions underfoot in the wake of this weekend's blizzard) into an outfit worthy of a meet-up of other cyber-sartorialists (assuming that any of them made to the menswear shows this week) this evening at a wine bar/restaurant in Murray Hill. (FYI, the place is called Lallisse, at the corner of 30th and Lexington, and we're going to assemble at 6:00 PM or thereafter, so locals, feel free to join in.)

Below are the results.

Sports jacket, waistcoat, shirt, trousers, and cap - BB
PS - Robert Talbott
Boots - Keen
Overcoat - Joseph Abboud
Scarf - Johnston's of Elgin

Mr. Crust, everything else is so nice that I'm just going to picture it with some EG Galways and give it a thumb!

Pretty nice

What I often do, when there is a lot of snow, is putting hiking boots like you, and carry a nice pair of shoes in a bag for wearing them at the office for example.

EG Galways are for posting on Instagram, not for real life winter conditions.
@upr_crust, Sr. Agnelli would be proud.

As much as I disagree with you on the mix of patterns, I fully agree that a plain vest would work great in that ensemble as well. I was actually planning to go for some light grey soon. Having said that ... my next vest (almost finished) is a DB with a printed ornament BTW the fact that you adjusted the currency in your post was noticed and appreciated so the critical remark is fully forgiven

To my old English eyes that mix of patterns and colours, although not expected these days, works as an example of what I used to know as 'controlled clashing'

. In this case the clashing seems just about on the right side.

A rare miss UC - not a fan of the shirt/tie combo.

No love for the white shirt?

I like it a lot.

I really enjoy the whole outfit. It is a little bit different. Outfit kind of makes me think of a creamsicle, which is fun, especially in winter.

Thank you! The shirt is a light purple/grey stripe perhaps the 2nd photo is a slightly more accurate representation. Your compliment makes me want a brown striped shirt though! When you say higher do you mean less slope, so more flat or what?:

Okay, so the shirt stripe is lavender. That should work, though I think you'll like the result of pairing that coat and tie with a white-ground shirt with a light brown or tan stripe. This thread covers the issue of a coat's shoulder height:

You seem to have sloping shoulders, so I think coats with a higher and more built up shoulder would help.

Nelton u usually do better IMO
Shirt collar is too narrow. The kindest thing I can say about that badly tied tie (re colors) is that it's very English. I'd consider widening the trew hems. Square is all ahoo . - crisp white linen TV fold prob best here. With that navy suit (although some here can pull-off that look) I'd go for darker shoes.

Ahoo? Haha what do you mean? That was my attempt at a TV fold perhaps the square could do with an iron? Any advice on that chaps? Also how do you store your PS's mine go in a jar which looks nice but probably isn't the best for keeping out creases. I had to tie it quite narrow due to the narrowness of the shirt opening but admittedly not my best!

Cheers,

Nick

Not my usual thing, but I went for a monochromatic grey look today.

So you don't plan on staying there long?

@UrbanComposition love your fit today even though I don't like button collars with ties... really, really nice. The textures on display are excellent looking IMO.

 

[Sander]



A man must eat.

But a man also must wear DBs. I would just report the company, discouraging DBs is just inhumane.
