The shoes are too casual for the rest of the outfit, in my opinion. That said, I am a newbie here, so please chastise me if my critique is incorrect.

I would say the issue is not so much the formality level but the total absence of contrast with the pants.

Sportcoat is fuego tho... Spier Mackay?

I like that jacket DS, especially if the bluer colour of the first pic is more accurate.
I’m a bit cautious about checked jackets, especially if they lean towards seventies broadcheck horrors, but the check on this is subdued enough to work nicely. What brand? I’ve seen some cool lightweight wool Ted Bakers in Nordstrom’s that look similar but they never seem to go on sale.

Thank you, first pic is indeed accurate. It's a lightweight Kiton. I like the subtle pattern as well but rely on the unusual color more than anything

What’s the story with the monogram? OOO (assuming my eyes still work)?
Also, I don’t love the brown suede with the black accessories (again, assuming my eyes work), but everything else is perfect, in my opinion.

That jacket looks way too snug.

Finally got to wear my new tie! I haven’t found a good spot to do a proper fit picture. So I had to go with top and bottom separates.

Tie is unamed thrift find, jacket is unstructured Brooks with 2 patch pockets, shirt is Brooks, Orvis gray pants, Cole haan sand suede pennies.

Should’ve used a square too, couldn’t find the one I wanted before I had to leave.

IMO, lighter shoes would help in the context of everything else.

That had me doing a double take too. I'm definitely interested in @Alan Bee's response to this. That is, regarding the apparent brown and black pairing. Though the monogram is curious too!
