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

[upr_crust]



@upr_crust, in Lisbon were you hungover, or merely unimpressed by the cod laundry?

Actually the cod laundry was tasty. I was winded from climbing up a hill so steep that it had funiculars on it (non-functional when we needed them, of course) in the midst of a rain storm. The hangover came later - a wine flight of five glasses - two white, two red, one late harvest - for the princely sum of 35 euros.

Feedback as always appreciated.

That shirt, bro.

It's a great pic. Usually saturated colours like that don't seem to get much love on SF but this shows it can be done very successfully.

I think it's great too. The success of the colors, IMO, is that he kept things simple. A few items, tastefully done.

Looks good Theo - straight out of Central Casting 'white male, Theology Professor type' but I like it!

Buchanan tartan?

Spoiler: Details

* suit from Suitsupply

* shirt by Miler Menswear ([COLOR=417394]@Tom Miler)[/COLOR]
* grenadine tie by Embassy of Elegance
* pocketsquare (it indeed is somewhere there!) by Poszetka Handcrafted
* boots by Yanko

Doublebreasted suits are my favourites. This brow Madison quickly became one of the strongest players in my winter rotation and might be one of the very few reasons why spring may not rush with arriving. 

Feedback as always appreciated.

Subjectively, I don't like the shirt; objectively, it doesn't go with the suit and tie. Not color- but formality-wise. Also, I think the jacket is much too short on you. A bit is certainly the angle, but still.

I like it too Theo. But the button downs date your fit. Try a cropped button down and experiment with different collars. You have a long neck and the long pointy buton down collar here brings attention to your neck.

Add a pocket square, even a white one and you'll look more contemporary. Also include some cool frames on your glasses, like a clear acrylic or wood frame. Great effort in your part. You're getting good at this.

I have a long neck too.

What's a cropped button down?

It's springtime, folks.













This is not a lifestyle, it's a punishment.

This is great! The lilac tie was a perfect choice with this suit, and +1 for the pinned collar.

Tweed, knit, oxford, flannel and cordovan. Rinse & Repeat...






Best,

Good lord, no. Theo's BD is fine.
