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

[sugarbutch]

Yes, the pants are navy. I can’t see how the pants are discordant. Gray and navy is a classic combo. There is a camel windowpane in the jacket so I went with a camel cardigan. Camel/khaki and navy is also a classic combo. I’m happy to concede when I’m doing something wild which is often, but I don’t see the issue with this one.

Lemme see if I can math it to you:

A+B=D
A+C=D
A+B+C≠D

The combination of the jacket and cardi is warm. The combination of jacket and trousers is cool. The combination of all three is warm and cool, thus discordant. Your logic in assembling the pieces makes sense, but the outcome is that the whole is less than the sum of the parts.

How was yesterdays outfit ok. The entire top was warm accompanied by light gray pants which are cool. That was ok?

Warm and cool elements can be successful mixed together. When does and doesn’t it work?

Next week, I may try this in a different iteration. Navy jacket, gray pants, and camel tie.

Thanks for the math. Allow me to take it from here.
A+B=D
A+C=D
I’m assuming D means good.
Adding the two equations gives
2A+B+C=2D
The two A is the navy pants and navy tie. Together with the gray jacket and camel cardigan is 2 good.

As a side note,
A+B=D
A+C=D
Implies B=C so take this with a grain of salt.

The light gray reads as a warm gray in this context. It's acting as a true neutral, and it would likely read cool in a cool ensemble. The eye always has the last word, regardless of how well you can talk yourself into something.

And I can work with B=C because the jacket and cardigan are equally good with the navy pents. Think of B and C as distances from the midpoint in opposite directions. (probably)

EDIT: Maybe B and C are vectors with equal magnitudes and different directions...

Well gentleman I will freely admit math has never been my strong suit, but to my eye the AAS outfit worked well. I thought it flowed rather smoothly. It was quite congruent.

I’m taking college algebra right now and this just went way over my head, please stop making my head hurt. For me I’m just not a big fan of something that light on top but that’s just my personal preference

Think the outfit works just fine. I dabble in painting and, to me,all those colors are cool, (with the exception of tiny splashes of red hue) with the pants being neutral. Cool and warm, of course, are relative concepts.

Maybe with medium gray trousers, but with the navy (?) pents, either the cardigan or jacket is discordant.

I was going going to also say that both match well on there own, but when combined together it’s not quite as harmonious

I think this outfit looks great.

I think I understand some of the algebra but sometimes we dress for what makes us feel good. A little discordance can be a good thing it brings subtle tension and dynamic.

Otherwise we can all just dress the same.

I think it is fair to say AAS is no stranger to stepping out and I applaude it.

Hey guys!

Morning everyone

Very nice individual elements but I think it needs a bit of contrast.

 

[Verve]

Very nice individual elements but I think it needs a bit of contrast.

Novice question time: should turtlenecks be on the lighter shade of colors similar to the white/light blue dress shirts when wearing suits or does contrast not matter as much when utilizing turtlenecks as a general rule?

 

[MrFingers]

What would you suggest?

Morning everyone

I really like the cut and fit of your jackets. Where is this one from?

 

[Betelgeuse]

Hola!

Thank you Teo! All my jacket so far are from spier mackay

Ah, too bad for me, being located in the UK. Which cut/fit is that? I know they have a few but all seems a bit confusing.
