What are you wearing today??

[Edward]

Thank you! BTW that hat looks impeccable on you. Is it the same fedora I sold to you? It looks like it.

Thanks, it is indeed the same hat. Incidentally, it has now been immortalised on Bluray...(!)

No, they are given to police officers from the UK who go on secondments to overseas countries to help police or to train the police there. I was wearing mine due to having been to a meeting about an upcoming function

Oh I get it now.

Hey thank you for posting the picture, Mario...and thanks for the nice comments
Unfortunaly the picture is tooo dark to see the ladie's dresses. Lotte and Janet really know how to sew a beautiful outfit...oh my!

It was a great night indeed. I really enjoyed meeting all the nice people from berlin ...and even finland. I hope to see you again soon!!!

Nearly everything is thrifted, to be honest it was a rather lazy outfit as I haven't been feeling well.
Further description on my blog.

Saturday night, informal get together in Glasgow, Scotland.

Great outfit Edward.:eusa_clap I like the brightly coloured handkerchief and socks, very dapper! Kiri, lovely as always and that berry colour looks so pretty on you. x

 

[Neophyte]

In my second outing ever in what I assume is "smart casual". Forgive the mirror dust motes lol:

 

[Kiri]

Worn around the house and to a tiny theatre to watch a movie (Of course, what else would I be doing at a theatre? lol).

 

[Derek WC]

Wow, you look stunning Kiri. :eusa_clap

Anyway's, here is my ensamble:

Modern white VanHausen shirt, also modern Haggar light navy blue pants, Ralph Lauren single breasted notch lapel brown herringbone.

Just got to thinking... if I would have left it colored, I wouldn't have needed to explain the colors. :eusa_doh:

Kiri, those cute sweaters are getting me in the mood for cooler weather. It is still in the upper 90s here, and I am so ready for cardigans and knits.

DM, it helps to make sure the door is actually open before you try to board your train, y'know? lol

Other than that, well done!

Everything is lovely except for that shirt collar. Maybe it's just me but a short leaf/point needs some bones.

Thanks. Of course you're right about that collar, but this was the only clean gray shirt I had in my wardrobe today. The other ones are still hanging out dry...

Help me out here, I'm not sure I know what that means.

If I am not wrong, Tomasso is suggesting a spearpoint collar shirt, or at least some more "point" to the collar, to better balance the outfit.

I think Tomasso is actually referring to collar bones or - more commonly - collar stays. Little strips of bone, plastic or other rigid material that you slip into special pockets on the underside of a shirt's collar to stabilize the point. The collar on the shirt that I wore yesterday is rather short and also curls slightly inward, so it would be a good idea to straighten it with said collar bones. The problem is that not every shirt has those pockets. Just like mine.
