I have thrifted this phenomenal beige sharkskin suit. I have a couple of occasions to wear it this year, and will probably find one or two more. I've never had, or thought, about a suit of this colour, but it is actually now the best suit I own. It's fully canvassed, hand finished, made from beautiful fabric, and generally awesome.
I'm really not sure what colour shirt, and tie, to wear with it. I might make this my first shirt from one of the low-cost MTM vendors, like Luxire. I'm feeling like white isn't going to be best. Top picture is probably a little truer to colour, but second picture is in more natural light, and I'll be wearing it outdoors. What sort of colours should I be considering?
I know the sleeves need to be lengthened (there is enough ease t let them down 3/4" easily), and the pants shortened a touch. I don't really like it with those shoes, either - might go with burgundy?
