For this Friday Challenge, your job is to dress like a fruit or vegetable. A sport coat or suit is required, but ties are optional. Each contestant must also submit a picture of the fruit or vegetable he's trying to emulate.

I hope this challenge will produce some nice fits.

Examples






Let's not all try to go with blueberry.

Submissions are due by Saturday night EST. The poll will run until Monday night. Have fun.

The Contestants

If mushrooms are allowed, I think will go with something like this:

Does a fruit salad is acceptable ? If it is, here is my entry :













Inspiration:




Execution:






My wife made tarts.






This was truly a challenge. Peach on the ground under a blue sky with some minor clouds.
The trousers are rarely worn with SC and tie but gets a lot of airtime in the summer.










For the Challenge, then - Attire and comestible.










Today I am a Salak "Snake Skin" fruit.


Liverano jacket. NSM trousers. Simone Abbarchi shirt. Sam Hober pocket square. And a pair of Saint Crispin's wingtips.



Well,

I missed the the "orange" challenge last week, but fortunately, orange is also a fruit, so thanks for giving me a second chance.






1000


I come bearing fruit...of the citrus variety.












My girlfriend had to come sneak a few shots of me on a smoke break at work. Missed opportunity with the missing pocket silk, didn't even realize I didn't have one until halfway through the day, and then when I got home I realized my tie chain had fallen off! Damn it all, damn it all to hell! Just like these berries... I just wan't quite ready.

Ooh, I like kiwi, good combination of colors. Easy enough to make brown and green of various shades play nicely together.
