The suit is my grey Cavaliere, and this picture, despite the slightly bad pose, shows how the soft shoulders really look good by following the body's natural lines. The shirt is white and the tie a 7-fold silk tie with Tom Ford kind of polda dots - ones that get more elliptical the narrower the tie gets. The background color is burgundy and the dots are cream, as is the pocket square.
The shoes are black quarter brogues, a type of oxford shoes that I quite like. Not as musty as full brogues, but a bit more playful than normal toe caps. Socks here are grey cotton and I think my trousers have been a tad too low in the pictures, the break is a bit stronger than it really is.
This outfit I really really like! The quarter brogues are my favourite type of oxfords alongside wholecuts. I only owned one single pair of captoes and that was back in my final year of highscool, I bought them for the prom. When I look back, they were some ugly pieces of sh*t so maybe my hatred towards captoes comes from there :)

Heh, I actually like cap toes a lot. Full brogue oxfords are the ones that make me wanna go and get my sartorial flamethrower and start burning stuff.
DeleteVery funny, you made me laugh very good with that!!! I'm not a fan of full brogues either, not with suits anyway. There is a model by Laszlo Vass in their "U last" that I would like to have though
