Recent non-Sartorialist Looks

[jrd617]

So there's a new show on Comedy Central

The host dresses kinda like an iGent/trad

-Jacket iGent shade of tobacco
-Horn glasses
-Oxford (with too short of a collar)
-Burgundy tie (grenadine?)

Thoughts?

 

[jrd617]

Negative points for lack of flannel pants, lack of patch pockets, and too fashion forward collar and lapels

Am I a Beotian if I don't like Solaro suit???

Am I a Beotian if I don't like Solaro suit???

I agree. I know that Solaro is a bit of a #menswear thing, but for myself, I prefer a beige/fawn/light brown cotton suit in a plain weave.

Tous les goûts sont dans la nature.

Btw, Gianni Agnelli, Beppe Modanese, Matteo Marzotto and other well-dressed men and arbiter elegantiae have been wearing Solaro before there was such a thing as #menswear... Sometimes it is good to keep perspective as to what is the cause and what is the effect.

I think you look great, Greg. No belt next time though please / remove the belt loops.

 

[gdl203]

Not my thing

@gdl203 is that solaro suit in L length? looks great

 

[gdl203]

It is. I'm 6'2" (1m88) and the longs are better for me. This is off the rack by the way, not bespoke.

Oh, I know, and I do think that the Solaro suit looks good on you, but for my complexion at least I think that a light-coloured but plain weave (without the underlying red of Solaro) is better.

Interestingly, though, and I don't know whether it's just the lighting or something else, but your Solaro suit doesn't seem to have as much underlying redness as other Solaro suits that I've seen, such as the one that Ethan Newton has.

People tell me Beckham is the best dressed around.

The sleeves look a little long and that shoulder or his arm slightly protruding doesn't look right to me.
