pointed dress shoes In the colour of a tobacco jacket and cream pants

pointed dress shoes

At the BTBA party last month I was tempted to wear my tobacco-linen jacket separately. pointed dress shoes Even though it's part of an outfit the jacket was purchased from Sastreria Langa Madrid with a'shirt-sleeve with patch pockets', to allow it to be worn on its own. So first thing picked: the jacket. pointed dress shoes The trousers follow. The linen (from Scabal), is an intense color, however it's also an acceptable mid-tone. It's neither too light nor too dark. As a result, it is required to wear trousers that are rather lighter or darker in order to have sufficient contrast. pointed dress shoes Linen was also discounted because, in the majority of situations, the same material might have looked strange as an odd jacket as well as a bizarre trouser. I tested cream gabardine, fresco in a pale grey, and tan cotton. The two other options worked (tan was too similar in tone) however cream gabardine was picked solely because the gorgeous Anderson & Sheppard trousers don't get worn very much. pointed dress shoes Gabardine is formal in its appearance especially in cream, and therefore, they are rarely worn out to work.

Blue shirt (white is difficult to differentiate from the trousers); cream socks; Tan Stefano Bemer Oxfords (the default for cream pants unless spectators are allowed). There are a lot of options in the tie, but this fresh green worked particularly well with the tobacco color of the jacket and outdoors, summer setting. The printed tie is also wool (from Shibumi) which makes everything casual. pointed dress shoes (Printed silk is a great choice for an odd-looking jacket, but you'll need to work hard to avoid it looking too formal.) The yellow silk handkerchief from Rubinacci, performed as a support role, pointed dress shoes despite its rather bright color. A different silk would have been far too heavy for the tie and jacket. www.shoeshellen.com The entire ensemble was too intense and heavy. pointed dress shoes The yellow, which has a touch of cream in the pattern, appears to be echoing the pants rather than trying to stand out as its own. My view on boutonnieres is that they are not the same. They could be stronger or more unique in color because of their tiny size. This is a very simple white arrangement, however you could use flowers of a purple or pink in the event that it is too large for a handkerchief. pointed dress shoes You can read more about this in a separate article. Overall, a fairly simple outfit, yet a pleasing fit for the occasion and the use of tobacco linen. (Incidentally I've had a few issues with my Langa suit. The shoulders are not quite right, and Graham Browne will need to redesign them. pointed dress shoes And the pockets are puckered by the seams that are fused. The color is still gorgeous, but I haven't been that impressed with how it has worn.)
