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

[Michael81]

I think you confuse well fitting clothing with him having a good physique. He is slender and more likely to look good in just about anything. This suit however doesn't emphasize his best sides. It looks shrunken and in a pretty outdated style. Dressing accordingly to your physique does not mean that anything should be skintight/short just because you're in good shape.

Completely different body type, but still, Arnold gets it. More classic proportions usually look best, no matter your shape:

Thank you for the kind words re my physique. The suit isn't skintight at all, by the way. I'd wear the crap out of it if it was 5 cm's longer. As far as being 'likely to look good in just about anything' is concerned, I don't really see it that way. I'm likely to look good in suits which have been altered for me, but that is about it.

I agree that classic proportions usually look best. But to arrive at that point inevitably involves a lot of alteration, which is both costly and time consuming. As Upr noted, the rack is not my friend.

I am a big fan of monochromatic outfits when done well. Kudos, sir.

I think you should either iron the shirt or lose the tie. I love the SC.

Bernoulli, we obviously both had windowpane on the mind today.

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, it's back to the office I go today, after a 10 week absence. Commuting will be a shock to the system, but at least I am able to get around reasonably well. Decided to "push the boat out" a bit, sartorially, for my return to normal working conditions.

Impossible to take photos indoors, so I tried the balcony, miserable though it may be.

Pretty proud of this, no use trying to hide that fact.

Sir crust, glad to see you posting again. Looking splendid as always. I don't know if I told you this, but I commissioned my suit after seeing your PS windowpane. Before that I did not consider windowpane something to be pursued. Imitation, flattery etc.
