Nothing wrong with this, Señor Crust, but after your spring fling outfits lately, it just seems somber. I'm sure some will think there's too much purple (and I might prefer a light blue shirt to the lavender...), but works for me.

I'd say you did just fine. Nice look, doc.

Tie looks too wide for my taste, but carry on, counselor.

Is the jacket a bit snug, Orge? In the first pic, it looks like the lapels are bowing a bit. Also, the shirt collar doesn't meet in a nice V. I don't know if that's something that bothers you, but it's a pet peeve of mine.

I'd like to see a proper photo taken by someone standing a fair distance from you, Dig, but this one makes it look like the jacket is too short.

Low-light Miami steeze. Can't really tell anything about the fit, but who cares, right?

Love seeing that you keep trying and the criticism isn't getting to you! Here's some constructive criticism of my own: 1. Don't wear mismatched striped blazer and pants 2. Dont wear striped blazers. Period. 3. For now, you're 16 (and I aint no old man myself) so I would lose the hat 4. Would put that collar back into your jacket. I got to say you are starting off on the right foot. Enough lurking and you'll be outdressing Spoo (ok maybe not, but still

I believe this is destructive criticism, as in "burn it to the ground, and let new growth flourish."

Nah, the hat is fine for a 16 year old. It's actually quite casual and would go well with just a nice shirt and chinos or the like. On that same note, that hat's much too casual for a suit.

Edit: The striped hat doesnt go with the mismatched striped jacket and pants. Too busy
