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 👍

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

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 1 month 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 😓

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

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

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

Dark grey/charcoal perhaps?

[–] odium@programming.dev 2 points 1 month ago

That sounds good to me too.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Double green? Gumby power

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

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

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.
