So, what can I wear with it? During the summer months I usually pair it with a pair of navy shorts, but now it's getting a bit trickier. It's to nice of a shirt to just hang and be worn a handful (handfull?) of times a year. Any tips?
The better question would be 'what can't I wear with a uni red stripe?' I find them a really versatile shirt with cord or herring bone tweed jackets. Under a harrington, under a grey sweat, lambswool or shetland sweater. Anything grey.
Is it a faded sort of red? Quiet wool tie and tweed jacket. Emblematic tie, blazer, grey flannels. Just treat it like a blue stripe but adjust for the color -- that is, a tie with a lot of red in it probably won't work too well, so go with blue or green.
Blue and green are good too!
Anything that isn't green.
unless there's something in between.
anything you want Sancho, treat the shirt like it's a neutral color ... I wear mine with grays, blues, and browns, and, casually, that shirt really plays well with blue jeans and every Shetland crewneck sweater you've got ..........
I've experienced Swedish weather - you were right first time.
/\ haha I love it ... the red university-striped ocbd is somewhat of an odd bird but we've always had them, I'm looking at a 40-year-old Brooksgate version right now, from high school .... it certainly would have been worn with navy blue Levi's 519 five-pocket cords and a pair of Clark's tan suede desert boots/Wallabees/Desert Treks .....
^^ that's what I usually would wear it with, but I want to break free from using my 505s, I wonder if it would look nicely with my OC chinos. Or a pair of light grey flannels.
/\ absolutely, particularly with a blue blazer ... for me those red stripes need some blue near them to balance them ..........
Levi's, a corduroy sport coat and a navy knit tie would be my vote...
/\ that would work for me too Beebs
Yesterday wore mine with plum knitted tie, dark brown light wool herringbone sport jacket, navy trousers, Oxblood split toe, apron Sanders military shoes and a dark camel colour raincoat.
