White, broadcloth, soft point collar - no color, no pattern, no exuberant weaves.What about shirts?
You are clearly the most colorful, patterned, betasseled, and shoutiest Munchkin in the land.Still absolutely boring!
I believe that Steve Reich once said that by restricting his use of melody he was able to explore other ways of making music complex and interesting, such as rhythm and timbre.
Some time ago, and with respect to classic/business/work wear, I committed to the following limitations:
1. Only solid suits, no patterns
2. No color in the suits (not even dark navy)
3. No color in ties
It was a great decision. You might be surprised at how much you can actually do within these parameters. Not to mention, acquiring clothes is so much more efficient now.
Looking understated is never under-considered.
Actually the suits and jacket in 30s were very colourful yet. Regarding pink color, it was considered a masculine color used in suits, just think of The Great Gatsby in 20s for example.
Wearing a blue suit with a blue tie isn't necessarily knowing the score...blue suit with a blue tie ?
