HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)

[hpreston]

@sugarbutch is too generous. No cardigans or knitwear (other than ties) with tailored jackets. This layering trend is getting out of control.

Agreed,I work for a top City law firm..Sleeveless cardigans with a suit ( knitted waistcoats)are very common and worn by many including our Senior Partner..He likes Burgundy and Grey I noticed.

It can work, particularly if you work for the Armoury (I recognize Richard, Dan, and Jim from the NYC stores . . .)

The weather in NYC today is overcast and seasonably cool. After a day of more casual attire yesterday, I have brought out the sartorial heavy artillery, as I am attending a party at the Frick Madison this evening. The invitation said "cocktail attire" - I do believe that it would be licit for me to consume an adult beverage in today's ensemble. Besides, any excuse to dress up these days must be fully capitalized upon.

Yep, definitely Armoury crew.... easiest pics to find.

Yes, they look great, and all worked at the Armoury, but I do think various knits (sleeveless vests, as in previous photos, V necks, even a crew neck without a tie) do look good under the right sort of tailoring.

Yeah too close as in they are ALMOST identical but they aren't. It looks a bit off to me. Fit and everything else is really good. But this looks like you needed to wear a suit and just took two pieces that looked almost identical and hoped no one else would notice

Agree. I wouldn't wear the two together. And like Zerase says, we did notice.

Wearing a sleeveless cardigan today. Not trying to start an argument.

 

[Shen]

Hot take: No cardigans with suits. Fight me.

Spoken like someone who is not living on the 60th parallel north.

Is that some sort of "fun shirt" I'm spotting? Any chance of a picture of it in the near future?

Thanks. I have an ill fitting one from Mark McNairy. I asked them to copy it. It’s definitely my favorite fun shirt.

Perfect. Could you please share details on the pocket watch?

In two of the three pictures the knitwear is barely visible, so yes, if you can't see them they look great.

as for the top partner in a firm in the City, who cares about the Brits? They are literally the most insular people in the world. If you vote to leave civilization we don't need to acknowledge your (sartorial) existence.

Also, these are jokes. As is the next one. Wear what you like, even if it looks like knitted by grandma or grandpa for their grandchildren.
