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

[An Acute Style]



Yup.

I thought it was a dickey.

Good on ya for posting.

Now, if you had change two things about this outfit, what would they be?

Thanks! I think I would have to say that I would have chosen perhaps a different tie, a darker one, perhaps with a green/olive element to work with the windowpanes in the jacket. And I'm not so sure about French cuffs in less formal fits, but my wife got me a new pair of cuff links for Father's Day, and I hadn't worn them this week yet, so I threw that in, haha. And, a pocket square may have done well here.

What suggestions would you make?

^Great fit all around. Like the jacket and the shoes a lot. I think the doing up all the buttons on the cardigan makes it look stuffy. I'd undo the top and bottom ones for a more casual look.

PIcs a bit out of focus, but time anyway to change out of these wet clothes and into a dry martini. Happy weekend, y'all.

Always a sound notion. Despite the damp, I liked this fit a lot.

Really like the tie, Justin. Is that the Francesco Marino? If only the stripes went the right way...

JCM, I can't recall, but were you the fellow considering a micro 4/3's?

That might've been me, unless there was someone else. Glad I did it. Jealous of Coxsackie's Fuji setup, though--the interface on those is perfect.

@An Acute Style: Thank you for your feedback! Actually, the bottom button of the cardigan is indeed unbuttoned. But this cardigan likes to behave in crazy ways and buckles a lot when I unbutton the top button. Therefore I always keep it buttoned at the top and I'm fine with how it looks.

Mostly I hoped you noticed the tie, which I felt was the one thing really holding that outfit back.

Also I wanted to pilot a new way to offer constructive criticism in a way that would be the most edifying.

Square would be nice. Didn't even notice the FC's

Helden, how is it working out for you so far? Take it on any trips?

So far, so good--it's easily portable and the lens is sharp. I took it to New York last month and it was comfortable, convenient, and easy to use. The meter likes to overexpose, so I keep it at a -.07 EV.

Great look, wonderful suit. I cant wear a cravat without looking like a Bond villain from the 70s, but you pull it off nicely here. What kind of fabric is the suit? Looks very light.
