Did someone mention turtlenecks (again)?

As posted above: "I can get into turtlenecks on other people, just can't see them on my self."

Cheers!

Honestly, no.

They're not as uncommon as you think..

The Tall Stretch Jean Leggings You Need - The Real Tall

We don’t splurge on getting manicures or pedicures very often, but the solid exception is when we’re going on a vacation. So being that I’ve already gone and come back, and Caitlin is going shortly, I felt like I had to go with her to get my nails done as well. Well, I also received […]

Next up: Country dressing in the country: It's easy to wear tweed in the city these days. Wear flannel trousers, a tweed jacket and knit tie in the country these days and the people who live there will think you're an asshole. Unless you're shooting at a Scottish estate or something much like it.

As long as your tweed and flannel are in Realtree patterns you're OK.

Oxfords can look good with jeans.

I rest my case.

I'd be curious to see someone post pictures of walnut oxfords (preferably strands) used appropriately according to this thread. What suit and color would they actually go with?

I don’t have any pictures of the combo handy but I’d lean toward very light colored more casual suits on the warmer end of the color spectrum if it were me. Light gray, tan, very light brown, maybe seersucker. Some patterns like POW or houndstooth or a more textured fabric. Probably more in summer weights if it were me. Walnut strands wouldn’t be my first choice but I could see them working with something like these although I’d still probably grab a pair of loafers or a different color.

Come on Man, stop loafing around and show us the Oxfords ?

Here’s a link to an article on The Rake basically subtweeting on this topic:

“The leather Oxford should really be a shoe for tailored trousers only. Its uncluttered shape sings when paired with tailoring, but looks ill at odds when matched with, say, denim, or even a more relaxed chino.”

Yes, that's about right. Oxfords are best for smarter trousers, so with suits and odd trouser/ sports jacket combinations. The article does also say suede oxfords are fine with chinos.

Is The Rake always that bad? Irrespective of what it's advocating, that's a real hack excuse for an article.

It’s probably just a web article. Lots of print magazines - Vogue, Esquire, GQ, etc - have daily articles, some of which are not too groundbreaking.

Serious question. How would I wear these green oxfords (Buday) in the least offensive way? I always had trouble with these and only recently understood why.
