I posted this elsewhere but felt it should be stated in a thread of it's own.
I was just given a few "fine marino" sweater vests. They look beautiful on the hanger. I tried to wear a dark tie with a white shirt underneath the red sweater. You could easily see the tie through the vest. Now I know that is considered a trendy look in some men's magazines, but I don't care for it. After auditioning a few other ties with no luck, I gave up and went tieless.
No more sheer sweaters for me.
There is a concept being pushed that shear, flimsy fabic is the bomb. I am thankful that long lasting, robust cloth is looked down on by the masses. It keeps the prices lower for the good stuff. Well...some of it anyway.
Lesson learned: Don't buy shear sweaters.....even if they are considered high quality.
The green one faired better with an ivory shirt and brown tie.
