I cannot see these socks without thinking Balladur and his nod to the papacy. Given where you live, maybe some thick French accented middle aged chap will walk up and ask you which St Cyr "promo" you are from :p

Not Fillon?

Balladur did it 20 years before him - and was roasted all over the press for it. A ton of French execs today, particularly from X or Centrale, love to go red to showcase their fun-loving personality.

The Chouan has a good article (edit - a second, funnier one) about Fillon's lack of inspiration in his systematic attempt at building his image, like the guy who topped your class in high school going through a checklist methodically. In many ways - not just the hair - he reminds me of Romney. In the current batch, Cazeneuve is more inspired, if a lot less Parisian.

What are you saying "no" to? And "no" to?
Neither are orphans. It's just a blue coat with light blue chinos. Luxire just sent them. They're kind of out of season but they just came last week so I threw them on. They're actually pretty light blue but my picture-taking skills are still wanting.

You're too fast. You quoted me before my edit.

Which is wider, your glasses or that knit tie?

Seriously, you're bordering on costume-y, my dude. And is that an orphaned navy suit jacket paired with orphaned suit trousers in a slightly lighter shade of navy?

1) The glasses actually isn't that bad. It's the thick lenses that make it looks worse.

2) Nothing wrong with using different colors. Better than the boring corp outfit. Probably need alterations.

3) Shirt sleeves need to be hemmed.
