Menswear
Re: Menswear
Alrighty. Also, my brother isn't determined for black suits. He'd go jeans and a white shirt if he could. I did consider a black/red diagonal stripe tie but decided otherwise.
It's actually more this
but a bit darker.
So maybe a revision either way of
Dark blue shirt
white vest
grey jacket
white tie?

Re: Menswear
If you really want colour under your suit, it's better to have a colourful tie than a coloured shirt. The tie is much more in focus anyway.
If you are already wearing a black or dark suit, a dark coloured shirt is going to make everything way too subdued. If you want it to pop, better to use a light coloured shirt. I've seen very few people able to pull off a non-matching vest. It can be done, but requires VERY careful planning of the rest of your ensemble. Get it wrong and you look like a doofus instead of a cool guy.

And if you want some colour, use a pocket square.

Re: Menswear
L+T: What are your five rules to getting dressed?
Shimon and Ariel:
1. We believe that you can make your own rules. Just know what works for you.
2.Confidence. You need to feel confident in what you’re wearing.
3. Always feel comfortable in what you’re wearing. Make sure you’re wearing the clothing and not the other way around.
4. Dress according to your mood. It will change your day.
5. Don’t spend too much time with fashion trends. They come and go like the seasons. Classic is always in style.

Re: Menswear
Rule five is the opposite of the white pants with a denim shirt and the ultra-wide spread collar. I like their rules, but I don't like their fashion.

Re: Menswear
White pants and a blue (not necessarily denim) shirt is quite classic, if European; the wide spread collar comes and goes.

Re: Menswear
White pants as part of a uniform has been common, but with no jacket it looks silly. If you look at it, it just doesn't LOOK classic.
It's mostly that it's denim that really irks me though- denim is a utilitarian fabric and its uses in fashion have largely reflected that, with such things as jeans and denim jackets worn initially by people working in physical and dirty occupations. Putting denim over white pants, the least utilitarian of all pants, makes me go "ugh".

Re: Menswear
No, I think he's right, since the inside of his sleeves are a different shade - as in denim.
I guess you're not in favour of white jeans then Tom.

Re: Menswear
When I see denim shirt and white pants, I think of someone wanting to be contrary and wearing the opposite of the traditional jeans + white shirt.
I personally don't like white pants much, I think because you sit on your pants and so they get dirty so easily, but I wouldn't say it looks wrong either.

Re: Menswear
I cannot be trusted to wear white pants, but I think that look is super classy.
I'm still trying to get my head around the no socks thing, though.
I've worn shorts the last 3 days, so I've been wearing my chucks without socks, and by the end of the day my feet feel gross. I had to talc my shoes this morning.

Talc before/after every wear, terry cloth insoles.

I had to look up doublet on wikipedia. The first sentence?
A doublet is a man's snug-fitting buttoned jacket that is shaped and fitted to the man's body which was worn in Western Europe from the Middle Ages through to the mid-17th century.
I mean... how could think anything else?

I've noticed that in fashion a lot of designers can take inspiration from old styles and use it in their clothing. Why not try to achieve something similar?
Hurp-De-Durp!

You can wear them if you like. you can rock that shit like a goddamned boss.
You will never be mistaken for a well-dressed modern man while doing so.

White jeans are different for me than white pants and a denim shirt. I also dislike denim shirts.

Then do wear them. A lot of people have similar reactions to the idea of corsets, but I like corsets so I wear them, and I like it.
It's still good to be prepared to people's reactions. If you want to limit the questions about what party you're going to, make sure the rest of your outfit is modern (and goes with the "costume" part of it). For instance, because I wear my corsets with pants, people don't think I'm being Victorian.
