Elegant or Clownish? You decide ...

[Sefton]

I'm not sure about it without seeing it on someone. It's hard to say without a body in it (doesn't have to be a living one, just a body... ).

 

[maintcoder]

It is an interesting suit and I would take a chance on wearing it, even if I might end up looking like Sydney Greenstreet!

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I would too, perhaps, but I'd never have it made for me by a high-priced London tailor.

When I first saw that suit something about it looked "off" and I just realized what it is. It is the fact that the suit's main color is charcoal (a town color)yet it has bold checks (a country pattern.) Thus you have a suit which is sending a mixed message. If the suit were a khaki, brown or even olive coloring then I think it would work perfectly. The check pattern I don't think is the problem at all. I think the reason it looks wierd is that it is essentially a charcoal grey double-breasted city suit with the yellow check pattern thrown on it where it doesn't belong.

It's a great suit, only without the white shirt and yellow tie.

 

[Mycroft]

It looks like a million bucks, like what you would see a race car team owner wear, a bit wild, but formal. They are kinda popular in my workplace with Lobbist. Not to through you off or something like that. It is also kinda Nero Wolfish.

 

[Quigley Brown]

Well...only way to see if I liked it was to try it on. I really think it looks nice....a co-worker thinks so, too.

What color of shirt and tie would you wear with it?

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Actually, it's single-breasted with peaked lapels. A nice cut that was punished with a yellow windowpane.


If Bertie Wooster had sauntered in with a suit like this, Jeeves would have been obliged to pummel him senseless.

How about this shirt and tie?

Or maybe a cream oxford shirt and the tie above, or a plain black tie. Anyway, not much of the shirt and tie is seen, because of the waistcoat, and I think the white and yellow glow too much.

Can't remember which book but the quote is something like:

Wooster: Lots of fellows have been asking the name of my tailor.

Jeeves: Doubtless, in order to avoid him, sir.



I actually like it. It's an "in-between" suit; designed to be worn in town or in "sort-of" country settings.

 

[Wild Root]

The suit glows tomuch.

Well, seeing there is strong yellow in the suit it's self, I'd say a tie that has yellow in it would be one of the only choices.

But, I do agree with the white shirt, maybe a light gray shirt would work better.

PS. The suit in the fashion plate that was just posted is really nice! gray and black is a good combo of windowpane.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

That's the point. The fashion illustration shows a windowpane in a muted color. Unlike that yellow "Tron" grid ...

The TRON grid... whahahahahahaha, I'm falling off my chair.

I loved the movie Tron, but I don't think it looks like the suit. I think the suit is quite nice. Certainly not clownish...

Check this out, I made that suit better! A belt back makes every thing much cool!

[shindeco]

That DOES look good!

 

[Mycroft]

Hey Mr. Artist (Looney Toons reference) some cuffs on those pants would be good.

 

[MrBern]

The TRON grid... whahahahahahaha, I'm falling off my chair.

The russet brown shoes and hat with the gray suit? I seem to recall a question here recently regarding the issue of whether or not that works. Actually it does,....looks pretty good really.
