Is it me or the jacket and trousers are not of the same colour? Looks like a missed combination of off white and white. A bit strange, furthermore as the strides are too short.
Not sure about the matchy matchy glasses, shirt, and PS either...

Regarding the colour of the jacket and trousers, I'm guessing the light makes it look that way . That's a suit, according to his blog.

The cloth of the jacket and trousers might be a tad different too, it happens sometimes.
Looking at the other pictures, trousers seem of a lighter colour. Might also be the lined/unlined difference indeed.

Is that the Drake's Aran knit sweater? Damn it looks so much better on you than me. Should have sized down!

Well at least I have a year to put on weight before I can get it out again.

Yes it is. Mr Porter said to size up and that was a mistake so I returned it and managed to get a size down in the Drake's sale. It's still fairly loose, though, but true to size.
