I think I'm coming to the position that dress shirts, even casual ones, shouldn't be worn without a jacket/cardi/sweater of some sort.

I read somewhere that striped dress shirts should never be worn without a jacket.

But I've seen it working before...




let's analyse this in comparison to stitches fit:

- belt is same colour as shoes, or at least lighter in colour.
- his cuffs as well as his shirt collar is not sloppy.
- he is ryan gosling.
- next to the person left of gosling, everybody looks dapper.

Morgan, first off all I enjoy that you dare to pair blue and green, very little people do so but it is a combination that I like a lot!

Unluckily there are some other details which is dislike:
1. The jacket does not lay flat on your chest, which is unflattering. Also the flap pockets seem to be too formal for the rest of the outfit, I think you should aim for a patch pocket one.
2. Are those Epaulet Walts of Rivets, that you ironed a pleat onto? Either way I think a pleated pant should fall as vertically and with as few break as possible, your pants seem both too wide in the thigh and have too much front brake for my liking.
3. You seem to be running on your toes, while the rest of the soles look as if they would receive equal wear, you almost hit the leather outters at the front. You should get metal sole protectors for those beauties.

I had an even dafter than usual expression that time (believe it or not, it's possible!), so in this case, yes. Normal grin service has been resumed in the regular waywrn. :p
