I love the pale girlfriend of that guy in the business suit with the umbrella
Apart from the rise that actually isnt bad..the length of the jacket is spot on imo. And the trousers dont hug his legs.
Bop, the lass on the right in the pith helmet is the girl Beestonplace is in love with...
The bloke in the cotton suit is the aptly named Greg Lellouche.
Appreciating all the enthusiam men are having for their clothes in this thread.
Here's the two brothers at Double Monk shoe store in Melbourne:

People are starting to dress back up these days and it is nice to see.
Very extreme lapels here:

I am probably the only bloke who shops there. All the rest are gentlemen.
In fairness, Tutti-Frutti Cerutti (as he known to his customers) hasn't done all the hype work alone: he and a well known blagger have been snuffling at each other like park dogs for some time now and the result is the perpetuation of the suit look which says - "My Papa gave me this suit which he had when he was eleven - and just see how modern it makes me look."

I'll echo Shooey's sentiment, that it's at least nice to see men trying. But I'll be damned if they don't all miss the mark somewhere. A few of these guys look OK in my opinion, but then they'll do something like wear the monk straps without socks. And there's zero elegance. HIPSTER SHIT!! These guys epitomize trying way too hard.
Is Gianni the inventor of both the patch ticket pocket and stuffing a pocket square in one? Both are horrid ideas of course.
The homeless looking Japanese guys in screwy fitted suits oddly don't bother me so much. I don't know why not.
Wearing a waistcoat without socks is a new low.
I'm join the appreciation for both women shown.
A lot of the outfits would be ok if it weren't for the usual groupthink disasters: extreme lapels, no socks, trousers too low and too tapered and too short, double monks.
No sign of Cromps yet.
Really horrible clothing and a lot of wasted time and money on display above but I did see a good pair of burgundy Incontinence pants, one nice pair of lace-up black Alden boots, and of course the cutie in the pith helmet. And Admiral General Aladeen looked alright too.
I'm sure some of these guys have spent more money on one article of clothing than I have spent on my entire wardrobe. However, the presentation just makes everything look cheap.
No Crompie yet? How do they all instinctively seem to know what to wear in his absence?!

To say nothing of their stupid "shades".
