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

I'm not a huge fan of it...fwiw...

I just think it would look much better with a mid-gray trouser.

Too busy. Sounds like the type of person who thinks Tabasco sauce is "sooooo spicy!" LOL

Sometimes the best square is no square at all. That said, you could have done far worse...nice look.

Yes, I agree. But you wouldn't say it's "too busy", right?

Although the square is mainly the focus for us (although I don't think it's particularly egregious), my assumption is that his colleague was more taken by the patterned SC and textured pants as being "too different" and in totality the look, to him, appeared "busy". SF v. the masses once again.

You are correct, the comment was regarding jacket and trousers only

I meant to quote his comment about the square.

I can understand why someone would say too busy...which I don't think is an accurate description...but for lack of better words I can see why they would say it.

It's just an overload on the brown. The jacket has a lot of brown and the trousers are brown...its over-saturated...it needs more contrast.

Mid gray would make it much better.

Fair enough. I was keying on the literal meaning.

Suit: RLBL
Tie: Zegna
Shirt: Ledbury

Too many formal meetings today for a PS. Tie knot looks a little goofy maybe?

I agree but I wear mid gray way too much. These pants don't seem as versatile as I hoped. Ive had a hard time pairing them.

Also I'd like to thank everyone for their thoughts. I've been looking for feedback lately and really appreciate it.

They are versatile...just you aren't wearing them with the right things.

Try them with Navy/Blue Jackets and Tweeds with limited or very contrasting browns (or both)

...and there is no such thing as too much mid-gray when you wear a lot of odd jackets.

I'd be remiss if I didn't ask for deets on this getup. Fabric on the suit looks to be a sharkskin?

 

[sebastian mcfox]

The suit is from Suitsupply, it's actually a grey birdseye (VBC 'Revenge' 140s). Shirt is Proper Cloth, tie is from Henry Carter.

who makes the tie? amazing!
