LOL Well, Ben... Looks like you're jocking mine today so we're even. (We'll ignore the fact that you pull it off better than I do.)
I already have my outfit set out for Saturday. It would usually be my casual Friday outfit, but I have to do a charity thing and suit up tomorrow so I'm saving it for Saturday. It includes:
brown sportcoat
navy sweater vest
blue/white stripe shirt
jeans
blue tie (though probably red, now)
Sound familiar? Thanks for testing out for me, though.
@JC nice suede loafers. I was walking around in the fashion district in NYC today and was amazed how many guys were wearing suede shoes on a gross/rainy day. Am I missing something? Do they not care if the suede gets damaged or have I been using really bad waterproofer on the suede shoes I had that got caught in a moderate rain?
Also, unrelated, but stopped by Uniqlo for the first time today and the store blew me away. I didn't really do any shopping but the place was HUGE. Did try on their tazmanian blend suit coat and not sure how I felt about it. Nice contour at the sides, but something didn't sit right at the shoulders. I think I saw some marked down to 20 while others were at $60. I would've picked up one for $20 but was going to an interview (nailed it) and didn't want to carry a shopping bag in with me haha.
Not sure if the tag was mislabeled or if maybe its last season's model that is marked down, but will investigate more next week.
@ JC you are are cruel man my friend. Why must you post pictures of the shoes that started my wanting to get some suede loafers!!! You wear them with flare!
Playing catch-up. Here's yesterday's pic. I had to wear a suit for a volunteer charity thing at the local children's hospital. Kind of casual with the sweater, but I felt better when most of the other guys from my MBA program were wearing beat-up black bicycle toe shoes. And it happened to be pretty cold in there so it worked out in my favor. (The REAL reason I wore the sweater is because the suit's too big for me, and I was trying to fill it out more.) Anyways...
Kind of dressed up for a Saturday morning class, but this is what I would have worn yesterday if not for the afore-mentioned charity thing. I had it set out so I was damn sure gonna wear it...
Shirt: English Laundry - sky blue w/ white stripes
Tie: Tommy Hilfiger (inherited)
Sweater: Lands End - navy v-neck
Jacket: no-name sport coat - herringbone (thrifted)
Jeans: Banana Republic
Shoes: Born Nathaniels - rainy day beater shoes
Pocket square: Merona hankie
Watch: Fossil Walter
The last time this jacket made an appearance in WIWT was the first time I ever posted in this thread. I fits better than the pic seems to show.
@Alan Like the SC almost especially because it is a no name. Some of my best thrift finds have been no names that fit me perfectly. It seems like all of the designer stuff I find is boxy (maybe because the original owner was more conservative or just a bigger guy in the waist from eating all those steaks while I'm on a little more than meager ramen haha).
I came across a Burberrys (older model for sure) DB purple/navy SC and I thought about it but ehh. Not sure what the flipability of it would be either. Instead I spent the $10 on tweed from Richmond. Works for me haha
