Just a little bit of color (a scarf, a pocket lining, whatever) and I would think this was pretty perfect.

Finally taking the plunge and posting my first WAYWT picture (it's actually from Sunday night, though) Sorry for the ****** quality, when I was editing out my head I seemed to have messed up the contrast...

Happy 43,000th post, WAYWT Discussion Thread!

Sleeves seem a bit long on the blazer. I see nary a sliver of sleeve below the cuff on the right arm. Arms seem fairly slim, though.

I like this much better. Sleeves can be shorter. Also I don't like the big cuffs, >2'? on the pants. You are fairly slim guy, and big cuffs look weird on you for some reason.

What are the sunglasses??


Glasses are Jean Lafont. I've gone years without a pair of sunglasses. Went to like 20 optometrists (I have a narrow face and I didn't want anything the least bit oversize so it was a bit of a challenge) and ended up with these.

Thanks, if I stopped wearing black / mostly monochrome I'd want a lot of your pieces. I usually don't comment but you are always on point.

At first glance, I read it as "pocket square" and I had a couple seconds of WTF. Oh, and the soles of the shoes are orange so...

I don't think the colors gel from top to bottom (always harping on color I know).
Also the top curve of you glasses gives the appearance of a worried frown to your eyebrows.
You need some happy glasses.

SVB, I gotta ask, what is the brand of that blazer, and what size? I've been scouring the nets for the perfect navy one, and haven't found anything.

H&M, 34R

It's 100% cotton and almost entirely unlined. Very lightweight and good for summer.
