It's more a neutral pallet, personally think it needs something to break up the monoteny, I've been wearing leesure frogmouth chino with a white tee and grey sweat, navy cvos on feet. I could have gone for the ecru novesta for a true colour free look. I actually think Oli would have looked better without the hat as his dark hair would have added depth but with it on it turned into a look that tipped over the edge (imo).

That's top stuff, Corno Ultimo! I think loafers would be even better to make it a tad more 40's/50's collegiate, but in the end it is just perfect Like.

Nope, not dead. Just alot to do (house project) and other interests (like guitar theory and stuff.) And... I am not too Ivy at the moment. Well, there is always like about 60% Ivy but at the moment more Mod I suppose. Or whatever. Not looking too often into Talk Ivy unfortunately.

One thing that bothers me about a bow tie, anyone's, is how it leaves the shirt placket exposed. I don't why, but it bugs me. A necktie covers this, of course, for more of a seamless look.

I agree about the shirt placket... I think it takes a nice, smooth shirt to pull one off, and a well-cut jacket... I personally think wearing a bow tie with a blazer is wrong, I feel that the gold buttons draw extra attention to the emptiness between tie and jacket... But with the right proportions a suit with bow tie can achieve an A+ professorial look which isn't bad on certain occasions...

Thanks Martyn, yeah, I look good.

CU overall its very smart. A couple of personally hang ups with this look though. I'm not keen on bow ties and those cuffs appear to be the hem turned up?
