Black-suit challenge, wearing only one brand of one's own choosing (a la Kiton v. Ralph Lauren, hell, Kitonbrioni might attend), bow-tie challenge, sweater-and-odd coat challenge.

Seriously, why not make Friday the posting day, but give people a week? (Like the MC/SW&D challenge, iirc.) I really don't care if it's worn on Friday, or a few days before.

Perhaps a "denim" day? (Might be too close to the "Menswear does SW&D&quot

Make an outfit out of non-approved pieces that comes together as a whole and manages to look good.

Something like non-cuffed trou + sockless + wingtips with a polo! LOL

How about the T.V character day.. possibly the office.. I hope it's not already done

An Overcoat Challenge would be good.

 

[DocHolliday]

I prefer challenges that test skill, or force posters to stretch themselves, to the challenges that come down to who bought the best item.

The black challenge might still be my favorite.

Elbow Patch Coat Challenge?

 

[SpooPoker]

I agree with Doc here - It should not really be about who has the "best" something -

I was speaking to another member this morning about the challenges, and a good point was raised - (Doc, were you talking to the same you-know-who today?)

What do you want to gain from these challenges? I started these on a whim, something to liven up the thread a bit, but it spawned into something a bit more complex - and now that they have really grown in size and attention, I think that going forward the challenges should be really viewed as a learning tool.

I for one, thought the SW&D contest was one of the very best, as it forced people to reach outside their comfort zones and explore some new territory. A black challenge would be awesome, absolutely.

Although, whoever suggested the "Alpha as ****" challenge - that might be considered.

I originally took the challenge as a possible way to improve the forum. While my plaid win was ill-conceived, I used it to try and to move the contest in the right direction.

I picked "security guard", thinking people should learn the basics before moving on to more adventurous pattern mixing contest.

In selecting a winner, I thought people would pick the person that best interpreted the gray slack, blue blazer look. Picking someone you would want to dress like. Not actually who looked Most like a security guard.

There have been a bunch of disasters after that, mixed with a few good things.

I think in the future, winners could maybe pick contest that would help noobs dress better, not worse.
