Silhouette looks good, but the tie is a huge mistake, far too contrived especially because of the color. Your outfit wouldn't have been any less affective without this piece.

I'm sorry. Not being mean, only constructive. This is awful. The colors, the stance and the items are all bad. My Dad knows nothing about style but at the age of 55 he manages to be contemporary, relevant and comfortable.

Maybe this is one of those days we're you just stretched your abilities to put together an outfit a little too far. The polo color is awful, the fabric is below par and the collar proportion too. The trouser length is too short in the leg, too high on the waist. Get Smart could pull off these proportions but in white/off white with your skin tone, noooo!. The Boat shoes have lost the will to live, as well as shape.

I actually disagree--I really like this fit from Rye. Looks loose, casual, and summery, and it's texturally interesting.

Probably the looseness of the silhouette, everything is a little sloppy today, comfort rules!

Haha, yeah. Today I happened to have a camera in my hand. Those boat shoes have been worn every day for the past 2 years or so, but I won't buy a new pair. The fabric is awful indeed, it is Topman, what do you expect. Have to disagree on the pants though, as I think you have the opposite problem. I see what you mean about the pic though so I'll kindly take it down before I get torn a new one by other members. Also, what is wrong with offwhite pants on light skin?

No, don't take it down. The point wasn't to be mean, but I couldn't pass this by. Criticism and praise should be dished out in equal measure, otherwise, whats the point of being a member here?. Constructive critique can still be an act of kindness.
