Colours don't match? More skillful that matching, his colors are in harmony.

Modern Tailor
Uniqlo Tie (really cheap)
PRL Belt
Mabitex Pants

Shoes not pictured because they're that bad. Too lazy to change them for the picture.​

: for your frame, skinny tie, skinny belt and slim fit shirt don't compliment anything, especially with a relax fit pants.

Thanks for the input. I can see what you mean. The seat on those pants does seem to be a bit large. They also were worn a full day and need to be washed. I think just rolling down the sleeves and having a wider tie would do it. I really have never worn the tie outside; I just put it on for the picture to try something out. It probably is is too skinny for my frame, especially with the tiny knot I made.

Agreed, I think your collar would lend itself to a wider knot. Maybe a 2.75" wide tie.

Not feeling the white pants with white shirt however, maybe a nice charcoal since your completion is so fair? Also, something that sits above the waist. I am a bit top tall (dont hate me

) and when i wear low rise pants it looks like i have an extra long torso with little short legs. Not saying your proportions are as bad as mine, but i think you may benefit from something a little higher up. (come to think of it, i maybe thrown off since your feet are cut off)

Belt - i would say a leather woven belt

Cheers - I wouldn't wear them with jeans (I bought them mainly for mid grey suits). I'm not a fan of Oxfords with suits.

Pretty much - there's a hint of brown in the depths, but they're basically grey.

Hey, Musicguy - what musical instrument you play? (Notice, everyone, I made a clarification on 'musical insturment' and not just 'instrument' - don't want 'somone' to misinterpret)

Hmm... I actually think that there might be a cultural difference here. I often thought that Americans criticize quite differently from how I would... much less clearly (in my eyes).
