Today. Suit and loafers.

I'm legit surprised that my first try at an indochino suit* fits ok. this was straight from the mail (wrinkles and all). should be all sorted out after next alterations.

*I wanted to try an inexpensive MTM suit because I gained a lot of weight this year (dad recently died/tons of traveling to get my parents house in order/family drama/work/etc). My weight can wildly fluctuate so I figured if this indochino suit thing works out I can have a "fat clothes/thin clothes" wardrobe ready quickly.

Don’t. I’m much bigger than you but from my experience, knowing that I have clothes to fit into is a crutch. This last time around I didn’t and as the suits got tighter the carbs went away. I had no choice. Sorry to hear about your loss and stressors. That’s rough. Maybe find another outlet?

Is any one interested in joining a fantasy football league?

Last week.

@An Acute Style - I really like the first and the last outfit . The second is to wild for me and in the third the tie seems to blend with the shirt too much.

I was doing some renovation work for the last two weeks and my wardrobe was sealed almost all the time. Finally it comes to an end and I get to wear something tailored again

Spoiler: Details

* jacket from Andells Atelier
* Suitsupply shirt
* tie and ps from Poszetka
* Benevento pants
* Vass shoes

The weather, though still quite warm in NYC, has dried out a bit, and a friend is having a party in her temporary digs at a luxury hotel suite in midtown, so I've allowed style to overrule practicality in today's attire. I hope that it will be worth it.

Jacket and bow tie - Paul Stuart
Shirt & trousers - Brooks Brothers
Pocket square - Alain Figaret
Shoes - Carmina
Hat - Seifter Associates

I really like this Kapps - a sorta laid back security guard! Extra points for the strides being houndstooth not solid gray.

Tie: yay or nay?

The tie pattern itself is bold enough that it is beyond critique in itself. I myself like joyful clothing, so I like the tie in a basic sense. There are a few questions that arise when you actually wear it:

1. Is the context appropriate? It looks like you're in an office cubicle, so the answer is uncertain.

2. Does it work with the rest of the outfit? I say no. The rest of the fit looks way too conservative. However, I can't really tell because of the poor lighting.

3. Is the tie well constructed, or does it look like cheap garbage? It looks like this is a Battistoni tie, so it's probably good.

I would say, try the tie again with a more suitable fit, and in better lighting. But, I am not an authority.

Edit: here are a couple of my Battistoni ties, from Century 21:

Went to Copenhagen fashion week with some colleagues:

Toronto had it’s Rosé Picnic yesterday, which featured runway shows from several local designers. One of which was my good friend, whom I’ve styled editorial shoots and runways shows for for almost two years. So here’s a shot of me BTS at my second job, with some of the looks I put together:

Just for the record man you are not fat at all. Maybe bigger than you want to be but not considered fat by any standard.....
