The Challenge: SW&D Suits and Blazers

The Rules: Submit a fit pic that features either a suit or a blazer. The photo should be a new one that you've taken for the challenge; not something you've posted previously. Those are the only rules. Ideally the photo will encapsulate your style and personality while still putting your best foot forward and showing the rest of us what you think is cool. It would be great to see some diversity between casual and formal suits, deconstructed and utilitarian looks, and the more fashion forward pieces that some of you enjoy.

The Dates: The challenge is open from now (13/Mar/15) until Monday, the 30th, AEST.

Here are some inspiration photos (sorry to any posters whose fit pics I've plagiarised).

This should be fun. I am hoping to buy this "suit" this season. Probably won't be able to get it before the challenge is up but I'll throw something together.

Here's a messy one to start. You can post as many entries as you want, just tell me which one you want me to use for voting when I set up the poll.

So this is more of a placeholder. Technically I didn't take this photo for the challenge, it was taken with the intention to sell the suit but I haven't posted it on SF yet so it kind of still fits in the rules of the challenge. I will endeavour to take a photo of a better suit anyway in the next week or so.

Its a pretty cool Comme suit that is almost like a seersucker. Its a linen/wool blend that has a subtle pucker to the fabric. Nice and casual.

It's actually

It's actually the sun (or a distant star...!?) coming over the horizon (thus the "surface" tee :revolve:) so much cooler than a lightning bolt but I can definitely see that it looks like that too.
