Any similarities between my fit and Spoozy's are entirely coincidental - honest!Originally Posted by upr_crust
FWIW, CinqueColori (actually, under the rules, SeiColori, but who's counting).
Blue
Grey
White
Green
Yellow
Cordovan
One hopes that the fit does not evoke either Ringling Brothers or Fisher-Price (though the inclusion of a red rubber nose or orange fright wig would push the color totals to seven or eight
Nice, Crusty. Like the tie.

The tie is green with small orange dots, they look pink in the pic but it's orange, hence zee orange PS[/SPOILER]
Derek, I think there's a bit too much going on here, pattern-wise. You at least need a plain shirt without the twill, and a plain white square would help too.

The square and shoes look awfully close to the same color, but you deserve a pass.
Hey there! I was on vacation from WAYWRN, but this challenge was just too much fun to pass up!Originally Posted by bleachboy
Lavender shirt
Fuchsia/navy bow tie (weirdly tied, it would seem)
Brown sportcoat
Green pants
#8 shoes
"Black watch" colored cap
So: Lavender, fuchsia, brown, green, burgundy.[/SPOILER]
Great look, BB! The cap and bow are great. This style really suits you.
Mike and Acrid are great, but I already commented on them.

Five Colour Challenge Entry (worn yesterday):
Grey plaid suit
Blue microcheck shirt
Dark Red (Manton, avert your eyes) tie
Off-white square
Black shoes
Still working on figuring out what to wear with this suit, so the challenge came at the right time to experiment a bit. Probably a bit too much, tbh, but hey, what's life without a little jazziness at times!
If it wasn't for the challenge, if I was using the same everything else, I think I'd have gone for a navy tie with some red highlights and something with vaguely similar colours for the square.
Looks like the trousers need to be shortened a fraction more too, based on the full-length pic. Funny, I didn't notice that IRL.

That's a sweet suit. I don't know if I'd have the guts to wear it, but it looks great on you. I think your alternative combo you mention sounds nicer than the one you're wearing, though.

Theo, you're killing it as usual. I do think the square is perhaps a bit too close in color to the blazer, but that's a very small quibble.
Edit to add: MKtitsworth: Your best fit yet, by far. A darker tie would have been better, but this is a huge step forward.
