When you look like that and have the fit body shape like that, wearing a garbage bag would still look better than a fatso in bespoke.

Tan or chestnut shoes -- spectators seem a little overkill, IMO.

I like a powder blue shirt, maybe a very soft pink. Maybe with a stripe for dimension. Gingham checks are fun sans tie, as well.

Black shirt, neckerchief:

This, along with a panama hat and germ mask, is how I will be dressed as I walk amid the swine flu apocalypse.

A) Get a tan - e.g. George Clooney

B) Open neck white linen shirt, with totally unstructured collar, unbuttoned
C) Discreet gold chain - but if you have chest hair, SHAVE! =)/Gold watch
D) White boat shoes, no socks

or (for a dressier club)

B) Crisp white shirt (like shirts from MIB)
C) Gold tie, gold PS
D) White loafers, no socks

or (if you can pull this off, good for you)

B) Electric blue turtleneck
C) Suede chukkas to match turtleneck (see shoe Appreciation thread for example)
D) Hot pink scarf

or (somehow I imagine Prada)

B) everything white (PS, tie, shirt, shoes, socks, you name it)
C) steel watch
D) Bug eye, high tech looking sunglasses

or (going on a nautical theme)

B) navy linen LS shirt, unbuttonned
C) fuchsia or even a gold PS/watch
D) navy boat shoes

or (Miami Vice style)

B) Pink V neck T shirt (or even lime green)
C) Navy boat shoes/espardrilles (sp?)
D) Panama Hat?

If you go white, it has to be double breasted. Baby blue and or pink stripes for tie and accessories with brown/orange gingham cotton square. For belt and shoes, DO NOT go black. The best color with white is chesnut brown or antique oxblood. A yellow Cobra for transport and royal oak on white stingray for time.

I really like this look:

The only look !!

 

[lakewolf]

White ( or much better slightly off-white ) suit, is a full summer suit

So I wear it with colorful open collared shirts ( solid colors though, not hawaian type, even that could also work ) and canvas oxfords, very light brown shoes, or spectators.

It is a suit I only wear to partys and informal gatherings though, more like a costume or an exageration of the summer spirit.

Never for business. unless you are a health care profesional.

Why is off white better than pure white? Can you please elaborate?

The same reason charcoal is better than black. I'm not 100%, but I think it's less in your face than pure white.
