Australia feels like Australia outside once more, broke out the wool/silk/linen for its first wear of the season.
Despite not having worn a pocket square for some time, I got this Drake's one for a song recently and felt the urge to wear it today.

Very nice ensemble. If only you knew what to do with your hands. :rotflmao:Just kidding.

I see you tucked the back blade of the tie. Given your penchant for high rise trousers, have you considered shorter bespoke ties or having your current ties shortened?

The weather in NYC has cooled off a bit, allowing one to indulge in fabrics heavier than linen and tropical weight wool. This has given me the chance to give my newest suit a proper maiden voyage. As the suit is from New & Lingwood, and because I can, I have tried to put together as many items from N & L in this outfit as I could - just to see if it could be done.

My husband and I are also celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary today, with dinner out this evening, and when one dines out in NYC these days, one is literally "out" - today's flannel might come in handy with the temperature drop at sunset.

Suit, tie, braces and face mask - New & Lingwood
Shirt - Chester Barrie via Austin Reed (both entities now defunct, alas)
Cufflinks - custom made - British Columbian jade on 14k gold
Pocket square - Brooks Brothers
Shoes - Florsheim Royal Imperial (Magnanni manufacture)
