[tcbinnc]

I believe that today is, at least calendrically, the first day of Spring. Temperatures in NYC are not especially spring-like, though the sun is shining, and it will warm to about 11C/51F by the afternoon, hence a lighter weight topcoat today.

Shirt - Tyrwhitt
Tie - Charvet, via Saks Fifth Avenue
Cufflinks - Penhaligon's
Braces - New & Lingwood
Pocket square - no name brand
Shoes - Carmina

Thank you for the compliment. I wish you well, and I am sure that we will all be interested to see your first postings.

Needs some tweaking, especially to the pantaloons, but man what a snag from @SpooPoker and an unexpected one at that. My bank account is devastated by the impending commission I hope to one day enlist...assuming Chris deems my plebeian ass worthy.

Nah. Shirt should get the tieless treatment, but perfectly content to have both it and the square.

Beautiful Fit!

I dig this simple, but always sharp combo. It’ll never go out. What are the details of the suit/shirt/tie/shoes?

I have a wedding at the end of May, already thinking of what to wear. Toying around with this look, I have a solid blue searsucker suit at the tailor, thinking of that solid blue summer suit with the rest of this?

As others have suggested, that's not a wedding appropriate outfit. It looks too much like business wear. Even for a more casual wedding, a striped tie isn't a great choice. You need a either a solid tie or a traditional wedding tie (e.g. PoW or shepherd's check). The tie you're wearing draws far too much attention to itself, because it's so very shiny against the rest of what you're wearing. Contrast is good, but this is dissonant. It clashes with the vest, which with the wide-pick stitching and texture, looks almost like it could be cotton canvas rather than wool, though I assume it is wool. Ditch the vest. Wear the seersucker suit. If you insist on wearing that particular shirt, which also appears to have a micropattern, and is quite flashy, make sure the tie is very simple. If you were to choose a shirt with less obvious texture/pattern, there might be a bit more leeway for pattern in the tie. Lest I've been too forceful with my suggestions, I'll add the conventional caveat: all IMHO. Though I'm really just expanding on what more senior members here are saying. I'm sure there will be some who disagree with me (whether or not they voice their opinion), and plenty who will have the same or similar views as those I've shared. All my advice is intended to be helpful. I hope it can be received that way, and that you end up choosing a fit that looks great, and appropriate to the occasion. I look forward to seeing what you ultimately decide on.
