So,

Next week I'm off to Buckingham Palace for a champagne reception and tour of a private section of the house, i.e. not open to the public.

Suit

The suit I was thinking of wearing is as shown here: http://www.styleforum.net/showpost.p...postcount=1737

It's hard to describe the colour/material, and my camera phone is rubbish.

Shirt

I was thinking of wearing a white shirt with this. Stiff and reasonably high collar.

Tie

Either this: http://www.bluefly.com/Ferragamo-nav...601/detail.fly

Or this...but in a standard Ferragamo red (I can't find a pic of it in red): http://buzzstyle.justjared.com/store...nted-silk-tie/

do have others...but those are ones I like.

Pocket Square

My choices are limited to:
- white cotton
- cotton chocolate brown
- exceptionally vibrant red with light blue paisly shiny silk (it's quite loud)
- dark blue with geometric red


Shoes

Black AE Park Avenues

I'll try and take a few photos tonight.

Cheers,
R

Ties & Shirt

I have a decent number of staples. Blue shirts, white shirts. Pale lilac. Pale Pink.

Ties - quite a few.

But really what i want to try and do is make the pocket squares I have work with this suit as I only have 4 pocket squares!

Pocket Square


In addition to those below, i have a white cotton square and a chocolate cotton square.

I fear this may be too similar to the suit.

I've something similar to this. It's a shiny silk, a bright red, with royal blue paisley.
