I love brown ties. For some reason they are simply it for me. Admittedly they work the best with navy, but it's not all bad with grey either. Especially when the shirt is light blue. This piece of candy is a 7-fold cashmere Briono I found from a Barney's at San Francisco for just 60 dollars. A rather ridiculous price for a tie that has the most amazing herringbone texture and is so soft to touch it cannot be described. The spread collar is just right for the tie, and the hues of brown and blue in the pocketsquare complement the overall combo.
As shoes I had my penny loafers again. I'm really just a loafer kinda guy, and now that the fall is starting to hit me in the face the suede tassel loafers just don't work that well anymore. At least not in the rainy days. The socks are dark brown wool.
So there we go and another month has started. From now on I'm probably going to be quite busy working and trying to write my Master's Thesis at the same time, but I'll try to post at least a few looks per week. Stay sharp and those of you in the South enjoy the rest of the summer while it still lasts.
And the make of this blue suit is....?
ReplyDeleteHello Ray,
DeleteThe suit is actually grey, and it's been made by Cavaliere. The style and the fit is really why I bought it, but the fabric was a nice extra. It's not often you get S150s from Loro Piana for less than 500 EUR. If it was made by some bigger and more well-known brand I dare not even think how much it would've cost. Probably on the expensive side of 1500 EUR.
Kind regards,
And this is where brown and blue (often a difficult mix) really go together, and very well together too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir!
DeleteI actually combine them quite often, which you can see if you browse through the older posts. Brown and purple tend to be my favorite colors, so I wear both frequently.
Thanks for your interest and regards,
