The outgoing Saudi ambassador to D.C. During the brief stint as his country's envoy to the UK, he used to wear smashing looking English suits.
Then all of a sudden - BOOM

I like it, though, I must say, except maybe for the tie. The suit actually looks great on him, and I envy him for being able to carry it to work.

Thinking of it, I like the idea of these colours and pattern for a linen (or linen&cotton) suit for summer use, on more informal occasions. Or for a linen (linen&cotton) odd jacket to wear with off-white trousers, for example, preferably sans tie. Nice for an pre-dinner aperitif (a Campari would go well with the tie, I believe) on a beach-front terrass, on a summer evening...

The simple rule is that unless you are " connected " , you have no business wearing a solid black shirt with a suit
