conservative business dress? OK probably not, but aspects of it (small-scale birdseye suit, solid square, acceptably ubiquitous her-meez, button cuff shirt) are conservative enough to warrant a cross-post. And I did do a little bit of work while wearing it before escaping to enjoy a walk and afternoon tea in the sunshine...

I'll second Manton's conservative business dress-based objection to the shoes, but support the tie. I'd also support the shoes in a non-conservative business dress context.

I just can't decide whether this shirting is conservative business dress:

The effect is a light grey, though the pattern is really a white and black woven. And a bit of context, though the pattern got lost in the iphone pic:

What do you think? Cheers.

Damn, SG. That's near perfect in my book. I like the shirt collar a lot.

1. The courtrooms on the sixth floor are quite nice.

2. I would still rather be there than the CJC.
