I scrolled, saw the top part, thought, bold, but I think it can work. Than I scrolled some more and got to the trousers. For me, they really don't work with the rest.

I think it works. It's a lot of colors and textures going on here. The pants are what bother me. Crop those out and it looks great. Maybe a darker pant is called for here? Would experiment with the pants.

Hmm I was hoping the lighter pants would match the light tie, making it stand out less, but maybe you're right 👍 I'll try that next time.

The look says "I'm interesting". Don't let it down. Take risks and stay loose.

A bit too costumey for me, especially with the thematic colors working in the rest of the outfit. White ties aren't really used because they're kind of a fashion oxymoron, tonally speaking

Appreciate the feedback 👍

I guess I'm in the minority, but I really like it

Tight. Some don't like the lighter pants, but they tone down the formality, especially with the casual bracelet. Spot on. And I'm mad jealous of the pocket square, struggle with those.

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks 🙌 you'd think it'd be straightforward, but different sizes of pocket squares combined with different pocket sizes/depths makes it a struggle for sure 😓

The blazer and shirt work together, the shirt and tie work together. But all 3, from a color perspective, don't. The white is took bright in that context

Better come with a long twirly mustache

Ok gotta try this look next. But where to get glasses like that? 🤔

[–] fubarx@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Outstanding! Going to start looking for a white tie now.

I'm also on team "that pant needs to be darker". Maybe a dark green pant?

Top half looks amazing tho.

[–] Flocklesscrow@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dark grey/charcoal perhaps?

[–] odium@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

That sounds good to me too.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Double green? Gumby power

[–] Jilanico@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks! I plan on getting some dark green pants so I'll give it a shot 👍

may be a culture thing, but where i live the only time you would wear a white tie is at a funeral.

indeed! seems to be very much a local thing then.
