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

[Pliny]

In keeping with today's simple theme, and inspired by the recent discussion of white shirts:

With your moniker the slightly thinner tie looks about rite IMO. Wonderful fit overall too.

What do you guys think about this combination of colours and textures? Never tried it before

All a bit much, A, I think. And green + red (even lime green) = Xmas, by association. The proportions look nice. I'm inclined to say an FU SC like that wants pretty tame accessories.

I like the Michael Drake thing, great fit, but those loafers ... I just dunno. Trouser hem may be just a fraction too skinny? Could be just this shot.

First wear for these Epaulet Irish linen trousers:

Looking good as always CD

Thanks Pliny! It's the LL Brisa POW the same one Gazman was spotting in another thread.

@Cotton Dockers
Just gotta say, them pants look way much better than old your Dockers. I think your look in that last pic was very good. I hated seeing them old Dockers.

@tchoy , small nit to pick, but I think it would look more proportional with slightly smaller cuffs.

Wrong. Your eye is getting better, RTC, but his is several levels above where you are...

How so?

That would be a fair point, except I never compared his fits to any of mine.

In just that picture, the cuffs look quite tall given his height and the shoes. Perhaps it's the angle, but I can only judge from what I see.

I'm totally open to hear why you disagree though and I appreciate the compliment buried in there as well!

The byproduct of figuring out what to wear the night before.

How so?

You're right, I should explain. When people are making a criticism, it's not just a matter of responding to a gut feeling or common sense. Our sense of aesthetics is not just innate, but the result of education and knowledge too. @tchoy 's look is perhaps the epitome of the classic look that many on SF claim that they are going for, but it could perhaps look a little off to those who've started off in the #menswear era of shorter, tighter jackets and lower-waisted, tapered trousers, or who are just still training their eye. @ridethecliche is a relatively new member, who will be the first to admit that he didn't really know all that much when he arrived here. He's learned a hell of a lot, but like all (or most) of us, he's still on a sharp upward learning curve. In that situation, I think it pays to step back and try to think about what it is that looks are trying to achieve. There's no harm in commenting and being wrong either though - it's one way of learning.
