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

It sounds like you know what needs to be done. I say let the jacket be the lead and let it stand out alone. So solid light blue shirt and a solid grenadine tie. And we need to put a pair of light/mid grey trousers on you.


Superb!


Yet another excellent post from Mr. Six. I do wonder if the tie is a bit rough to go with the rest of his outfit, which is classy. #NITPICKING

I actually don't wear pants...so that might be a tough sell

 

[Veremund]

Those look really tacky, especially with a suit.

You’re insane, it’s classic.

Grey, dark green and a touch of pink.

OK, what's your theory of textural discordance?

 

[An Acute Style]

Thoughts? I still have little to no idea what to do with this coat. Every fiber of my being is screaming plain shirt/tie/square.
I like everything separately, but this seems like a bit of a mishmash clusterfuck.

Panta (incredible heavy linen)

I’d go with a rust/orange or brown tie with this jacket.

There no theory. The tie feels like a Bud Light amongst fine wines.

Disclaimer: I am not trying to offend you. I complimented on your fit but my personal take would have been to opt for a safe tie, like a solid navy grenadine tie. Maybe I should not comment on your great fits.

I aspire to wear purple openly and successfully one day. I have some hidden in today's fit.
White shirt, new tie, same old suit.
Feedback is appreciated as always; I'm trying to grow and experiment slowly. I think a blue shirt is pretty much always better for me, but I want to work in white shirts for variety.

This is Great, may I ask about the "Shirt"???

Thanks, I think it was definitely one of my more successful fits recently.

This is actually a Suitsupply Traveller shirt, which I reviewed here: https://www.styleforum.net/threads/suitsupply-traveller-review.629088/unread

TLDR: it feels good and wears cool.

Why do you think it looks like Bud Light next to wine? Why would you have chosen a grenadine instead?

Fwiw, I wouldn't wear one with a tie. Too much symmetry. Too much attention drawn to the center.

The rough texture. The "rawness" of the tie compared to the fine and elegant shirt and jacket. If you disagree, that is fine. But I do not understand the point of continuing this conversation when we agree that we disagree.

We haven't had a good showdown over slub love/hate in a while.

Bro, do you even Styleforum?

The slubs, I'm for them.

Slubs just look slubby to me.
