    Advice on shirt and tie to wear with this suit

     There are two schools on this one. The first -- let's call it the Mafoofan school -- holds that a striking item should be balanced by other striking items to retain harmonial balance; the second holds that a striking item should be reined in by a somber surrounding. Personally, I let the...

    The State of Black Tie: Your Observations

     I find them practical for when you want to show off your semi.

    NEW TAILOR BESPOKE NAPLES

     If true, this is by far the most interesting information in this thread. Call me moralistic, but I find the idea of asking poor Italian tailors for money to feature them on your blog the height of bad taste.

    Camel Hair Polo Overcoat -- Proper Length

    Any length from the knees to mid-calf is within the realm of the classic. Modern coats usually run considerably shorter, which is probably why you think it looks odd.

    Would this make me look like a slob?

     Yes, you did. I do wear tank tops under tweed jackets, and I do think it's fine to leave out the dress shirt in the ensemble you presented in your original post. Just don't mistake it for traditional menswear (and make sure your rib cage is landscaped).

    Would this make me look like a slob?

    Perfectly fine. I even wear my tweed jackets with tank tops.

    Can anyone identify this coat?

    Looks like a double-breasted Chesterfield in burgundy. Probably quite the challenge to find OTR.

    The Worst Dressed Chief Executive of a Public Company Ever?

     That would be douchey night-time wear.

    Good tie to match with outfit. Need opinions.

    Brown or mid-gray. Also black and charcoal, if you switch the shoes to black.

    Preppy Style has been taken away from the Preps

     You must have missed the Hitchens/Galloway kerfuffle back in 2005:

    Brown or black shoes with this navy suit?

    Good choice, and grats on the new shoes!

    Hickey Freeman Jacket Length opinions requested

    Looks fine.

    Is this suit jacket too short?

    No way to tell if it's too short without a full-body shot. But I'm already pretty sure I don't like the jacket.

    Thoughts on this Wool Down Blazer

    Fugly. Just wear a normal down jacket.

    Isabel Marant H&M for Men, Nov. 14

    With these kinds of hyped-up collaborations, it's important to cast a very critical eye on the garments and imagine how you'll think about them once their tinsel of freshness has worn off. For there's something oddly seducing about the spanking new, but it's a short-lived high, and suddenly...

    whnay.'s good taste thread

     That's actually a great tie. But it's a level 9 on the difficulty scale, so it takes some finesse to get it right. I fancy it would look smashing with something like a brown corduroy coat (and a cool haircut).

    White tie, without the formality

     Most discussions on here -- however contentious they may seem -- are about telling the good from the merely serviceable. There is actually a fairly broad consensus over what's irredeemably ugly, and I would hazard that this tie falls in that camp: Just stick to matte solids and you're...

    Can these be tailored?

    Trimming those down should be child's play.
