Have too much sprezz during the holidays?

Not sure what to pair with your lime green Incotex?

Well, button those collars, ditch the fun socks and put away your double monks. It's time to bring boring back. At least for one day. The conservative business dress challenge "Man in the Gray Suit Edition". That's right, sometimes it's better to blend in. Put your coworkers to sleep. Get ignored by the Sartorialist. Rules: Any gray suit as long as it's plain and ready for a shareholder meeting at Berkshire Hathaway.

Every MCer's got one. Right?

A real challenge for me. Boring is easy, business boring is difficult. Nice one, Parker.

That's boring and great. But is it plain?

You look like the Chairman of the Board, F. Corb.

Isn't the shirt pattern a bit too country'esque? Other than that, definitely business boring.

I'd love to see a full length shot of this one, if you don't mind -- it looks fantastic!

Y'know, I'm not sure I do... I have a solid grey pure silk Spano DB, but I'm not sure that's quite what you're going for here...

Solid navy I have, but solid grey... hmm... you'll have to settle for a sober pinstripe I'm afraid!
