NEW MEMBER INQUIRIES & QUICK QUESTIONS- CLASSIC MENSWEAR: WK OF MAR 30, 2015

[unbelragazzo]



Hey all,
I will start my internship soon at a Canadian company (I'm Dutch myself) and their policy is business casual during normal workdays and business on events.

I recently had to say goodbye to my brown leather shoes so currently I only have 2 other shoes left that could fit this purpose.

Unfortunately I have the fashion sense of a potato, so I was hoping you could help!

It would be much appreciated and below you will find pictures of the combinations I have available (I would like to wear all pants, so even if you think there is no fit, please let me know the "best" fit ).

I would strongly recommend wearing matching shoes. Also, in most settings, wearing all pants is not appropriate. Wear just one pair of pants, and clothe the rest of yourself with shirts, shoes, socks, etc., as needed.

I'm having trouble figuring out pocket square choices. Do any members have suggestions based on the image above? I feel like baby blue or white would match too closely to add anything valuable to the outfit.

Thanks!

White linen is never a bad choice. You are somewhat limited in the kinds of squares you can use because of the light color of the jacket. I feel like a burgundy or navy paisley would provide too much contrast and not be very useful to you. You could go with a lighter more summery silk pattern, but I think the best choice is a simple white linen.

Keeping it simple is always a good choice. Thanks so much for the advice! White linen it is.

I'm looking to buy a tie clip but I can't seem to find a good source for them here in Europe. Getting one from thetiebar will cost me more in shipping costs than the actual product itself. Any ideas?

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions regarding what color and material a waistcoat should be made from to pair with a light gray, summer wool suit. The suit has a very faint window pane pattern. The grey color is far closer to to very light than it is a charcoal. I think a darker grey in linen would look well, any suggestions?

Thank you. I just saw this one image of Stephen Amell wearing this tie but haven't seen any other pictures and definitely no context as to what he was wearing.
I really like this tie I haven't seen one like this before.
