Challenge closes at 12 midnight GMT, which is in just over 2 hours.

Unfortunately I will be out for most of the day (playing string quartet concerts for the Melbourne Festival), so I can't flag the cut-off in real time. Please be aware though, that late entries will not be listed for the vote.

(fyi dress code for the performers is "neat casual" - can you believe that? And no, it doesn't mean "Formosa flannel 3-roll-2 suit with patch pockets, worn with a Capelli neat".)

I voted for Anden, simply because he was the only person who actually tried (and succeeded) in using any block colour that was outside the usual grey and blue. Everyone in this challenge was very well dressed but, for me at least, that's only half the point of a challenge.

Besides the fact that I categorically disagree with your pov on the challenge, unless I am missing something, Andens fit was all gray and blue, with the addition of a red sweater. So, essentially, in my book, its a blue and gray fit. Throwing on a sweater does not change that when the pants, shirt, jacket and tie, are all in the aforementioned color family. But, since I look at look this in a very different way, it never crossed my mind what colors he used until I saw your post. : )

Btw, I voted for Anden too, hit fit was awesome, along with a few others.

Almost everyone was awesome this time, no doubt. But it's not just me, colour blocks / blocking is a well-known concept in style / fashion. Do a google image search for "colour blocking" and see what you get...

I'm not saying it's not a concept, I'm saying that to me it is a blue and gray fit that happens to have a red sweater.
