Warning, noob entry: [COLOR=A74345] [/COLOR]
Nice challenge! I don't have a lot of white shirts, just this french cuffed one (for funerals and such) and one ocbd that doesn't go well with ties.

Thank Oprah- I've a ton of white shirts.
I hope this jacket will look odd enough to you, gents!
Easter Sunday. Not sure if this counts by date, or as an odd jacket, but my week exploded into a family emergency and I didn't have the time or energy to dress properly, let alone or together a challenge rig. So, enjoy whether it qualifies or not. We went for tea after mass, and this was across the street. I said to my wife "hey take a picture of me in front of the Church of Style Forum." :p
My humble entry, take this morning :) a piece of spring. On my balcony It's a grenadine (marie galante, st.vincent) french song from Voulzy Loafer A bit of art deco
Excellent job @bienluienapris I guess my easter fit from last sunday may participate in this challenge. Jacket and trousers are made by Francesco Smalto, the famous parisian tailor who died last monday, so this fit is my tribute

I'll enjoy watching this. I don't have any white shirts informal enough, nor do I have any SC's or Blazers formal enough, to pull this look off with any kind of success.

I think I've been to brainwashed by the good taste thread. This one will be the toughest in a long time I think.
