The jacket was cut to be buttoned as a two-piece, but it doesn't look bad if I choose to do it with the vest on, does it?

Yes, the yellow shirt works. May I inquiry what is this trend of unbuttoning the top button of the carding about? Not the first time I see it among the sartorialists in this august group.
Balance. I don’t button the bottom buttons of the cardigan. It looks more balanced to me to leave the top button undone as well.

Hey guys,

Doubtful on this tie & pocket square association in this outfit... But here to learn and for feedback after all, so posting anyway!

I don’t think this works. The handkerchief seems forced, and the tie would need to be much less less formal (like a knit) to have a hope of working with the workwear jacket. Even then, it probably wouldn’t work.

Agreed... Experiment gone wrong, the more I look at it.
I should have tried something like oxford shirt + knitted tie + if going for it, clearly a different square...
Merci pour le feedback !

The weather in NYC is sunny, but quite cold, and whether or not I actually venture out today is still a matter of debate, so today's attire is a bit in the subjunctive mode. Nonetheless, today's shirt is the final sale item I ordered from Hilditch & Key, and, as with all one's newest toys, they need to be played with ASAP, hence the ensemble.

I was a bit dubious about matching today's shirt and suit, fearing that their patterns would conflict, but it seems (at least to my eye) that they do not, and the tie brings a welcome amount of contrast both in color and in pattern.

Suit & overcoat - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt - Hilditch & Key
Tie - Charvet
Cufflinks - Wedgwood
Braces - Paul Stuart
Pocket square - Robert Talbott
Shoes - Paul Stuart house brand
Scarf - Fortnum & Mason
Hat - Selentino
