For the last time this year I wanted to bring out one of my favourite combinations, with a twist. Navy suits, im my humble opinion, were made to be worn with burgundy accessories- Ties, pockets squares, socks ANYTHING! In this instance I'm going for a single breasted wool number with peaked lapel and fine pin-stripe worn with a classic white (double-cuff) shirt and burgundy knitted tie. The weave of the tie adds a bit of texture to the soft wool making the outfit appear more slick, stylish and nonchalantly considered, rather than stiff, stuffy and contrived....Which is never a good look, clothes should be enjoyed and worn. The only thing in this instance that should be stiff and lifeless is the white pocket square rounding of the ensemble in my breast pocket. Nice.
The thing I love most about wearing something like this is that it truly is classic and timeless. If you saw the look shot in black and white, its hard to tell what era it was taken! Or perhaps thats just me STILL trying to be on Madison Avenue in the 1960's....
Have a great New Years Eve everyone. Here's to a stylish 2012....
