those are, uh, interesting socks.
I LOVE that tie and the jacket is great. The shoes, well, they'll go in the same bin as Orgetix's socks.

That said, it's a little bit ironic and certainly a sign of the current hype cycle, that in a conservative business dress thread of all places, the acceptance of gunboats, boots and all sorts of dutch clogs are consistently getting a pass or even a nod. But then, the more city and sleek shoes are frowned upon and called "fey" if they happen to do deviate ever so slightly from a conventional cap-toe, plain toe, monk or wingtip. Of course, this too shall pass...
I find it interesting that a guy who wears sportcoats that look like explosions at the Crayola factory can't handle plain white pocket squares or socks that are even mildly interesting.
hey, I called people out on the gunboats with suits in this thread.
I wear plain white squares, I just don't wear squares often anymore. Since I wear loud coats, I like to keep everything else sedate. And what do you have against the Crayola factory, why do you hate America?
I actually don't mind your coats all that much, in a I'd-never-wear-that-but-it's-well-done way. And I understand your logic with regard to squares and socks with your Crayola jackets, but I don't understand why you seem to want to impose your preferences on the rest of us. I'm not wearing my socks with your jackets, I'm wearing them with my (relatively sedate) outfit. Add the fact that my socks aren't visible to anyone else 90% of the time, and I really don't get your fun-sock animosity.

a very dogmatic approach to and a narrow definition of what a "good outfit" should be.
