Not a critique but to further the impression you'd want French cuffs; no dimple and a smaller knot; a quarter break in the trousers; lighter socks possibly wholly matching the trouser colour; a shirt with a cm or two of space for the tie at the top instead of this yank overlap of the two collar points at the closing button. It's a suitable impression of the average office slave getting off a commuter cattle train at King's Cross though (or would be with more rumpled trousers and shirt).

Oslo is not a city, it's a state of mind. A bad one.

As I remember, you are more of a fan of Bergen. For myself, I have visited neither place, so I cannot compare my reactions to yours - perhaps a reason to visit Norway . . .

Copenhagen

I've been to Copenhagen, under less than ideal circumstances (September 1992, six nights, and in excess of five inches of rain during the sojourn). I preferred Stockholm - the sun came out, and in a city built on islands in a lake, everywhere one looked, there were vistas of water and trees.

Thanks for your feedback. I think when I edited the first picture I overdid the saturation which has made the shirt seem darker and cooler than in the flesh. Perhaps the outdoor picture gives a truer likeness.
Ah, that makes sense. The outdoor picture certainly gives a much better impression of harmony between the shirt and the rest of your fit.

The end of the week, and overcast here in NYC. As always, the choices for daily attire are driven by whimsy and caprice, in this case, the fact that I recently saw today's tie on the rack, and realized it had been a very long time since I last wore it. It seems to go reasonably well with today's suit, but I leave that to your judgment.

Suit - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt - Brooks Brothers
Tie - Zegna, via Bergdorf Goodman
Braces - Paul Stuart
Cufflinks - Tyrwhitt
Pocket square - Polo Ralph Lauren
Shoes - Crockett & Jones
Overcoat - Joseph Abboud
Hat - Christys, via Fortnum & Mason
Scarf - New & Lingwood
