For the end of the week, I have eschewed a suit, and have chosen to wear a jacket purchased last summer, on sale, but unworn (due to unnaturally warm weather, and the fact that it is cashmere) until my recent trip to Italy, where it proved to be quite useful - exactly the amount of insulation needed for autumn in Milan and Venice.

I've included two "lifestyle" photos from the trip - one, post dinner with a Facebook friend who happened to be in Milan at the same time as my husband and I were, and one from Venice, pre-flooding (tides were very high while we were there, but not to the point of flooding the Piazza San Marco).

Jacket - Paul Stuart
Shirt and trousers - Brooks Brothers
Tie - Paul Stuart
Pocket square - vintage and no brand name
Boots - Paul Stuart
Overcoat - Joseph Abboud
Scarf - Ralph Lauren Purple Label
Hat - Christys, via Fortnum & Mason

@Tibor, I would call the color cobalt blue. But I am far from a specialist on it. In fact, I picked up the fabric because I loved the color and could not describe it. I think it was @upr_crust who directed me to cobalt blue as the correct color for this suit.

@Alan Bee You look splendid. For my next suit I will try fuller trousers and if it works and I need to change my wardrobe I will send you the bill.

That's the exact colour of suit I would like to own to compliment the colour of my fedoras. Is it a RAF Blue Bernoulli?

I'm not the biggest fan of the tie but the rest of the outfit is absulutely fantastic mate! Wow! That jacket fits perfect!

Very kind indeed my good friend. Subjective critique taken onboard in good faith. It's all part of the experimentation, trial and error. I have different variety of ties that could perfectly work with this combination but thought going along with this beige cashmere tie would be a good compromise. Anyway, what an interesting observation.:)
