It depends on what you mean by versatile? Do you mean easy to match with a shirt and jacket/suit? In which case, sure it's not that hard - stick to a white shirt or striped shirt with a lot of white. Avoid a blue shirt. If by versatile you mean that you could wear it often, then no, the color is unique enough that people around you will notice if you wear it often.

Yea by versatile I meant a bit of both.
Why do you say not to wear it with a blue shirt?

 

[gdl203]

Because it would look terrible

Yes I would think it made more biz sense to spin off the company and sell it rather than downsizing, where everybody loses. I mean if it were a good business one could easily pick up the scraps of the downsized portions to continue as a business as well right?

If I had to guess, Southwick producing some products in-house for Brooks is attractive to buyers (cost/quality, etc.). Contracting is ancillary business for someone buying the BB brand.

The third party contracting business with current manufacturing is unlikely to be a sustainable business on its own without BB. So that makes it hard to do a spin off.

Could this picture be any more explicit about understanding what’s the right fit for your body? And what is not

Headless dude is doing it right.

Fits right in with our StyFo selfies.

It’s a bit of an unfair comparison

Kamoshita would probably rock almost any cut of clothes better because he is very thin and also appears very confident

That said, kamoshita totally nails the not-too-fitted style

I'm going to say something potentially racist, but I consider this a safe space for this particular conversation. Sometimes when I am walking I will see a skinny Asian guy and I am like oh man he looks good! Then I step back and objectively look at his clothes and he does not look good. He will have something tailored on, but it fits weird, or it is just ugly and out of proportion. I have this weird affinity for skinny Asian men trying to look stylish. Is this weird? Am I racist?

 

[clee1982]

nah, you're just weird

This is exactly why I don't understand why we have rules like business attire, or business casual, ect.
If a person wears a nice fitting pair of jeans, a nice button down, and nice shoes/boots they will look just as good if not better.
Just because you have slacks/chino's and a tie on doesn't make you presentable and well dressed
