Thoughts on this?

I like the style but that white zip looks wrong.

It's a rainy day, no clients are coming in and I'm mildly hungover, so no suit and tie today.

DB navy blazer
Cheap reds from Land's End Overstocks
Blue OCBD
Pocket square with light blue border and dots on a dark blue field.
Loafers and argyle socks in colors that might not really go with the reds.

There's a bow tie shoved in my pocket in case of emergency.

Today is grey, cold and rainy in The Sticks.  I'm only in the office for a few hours and then home with #2 sprog.  So:

White OCBD
Cotton crew-neck sweater in navy with, for lack of better descriptors, a sort of neo-argyle in yellow, green and red from the English Sport Shoppe in Hamilton, Bermuda.
Darkish jeans with about one inch of roll up on the bottom.  Two reasons for that: 1.  I like the contrast, 2. I'm short.
Navy socks.
Tan/blue saddle shoes.  The thick crepe sole works well in the rain.
Barbour.

red gingham check ss bd (ben sherman), burgundy sleeveless v-neck (quite a small v), dark denim jeans w/ 3/4 inch turnups (form h&m of all places, d'oh!), black belt, burgundy socks, black florsheim imperials, dark red baracuta. got a lot of stick from mrs. heikki for looking 'too skinhead' lol (will look even more so in a few hours, off to have my barnet cut on lunchtime..)

in this outfit i feel so good i'd like to have a photo taken of me which normally certainly isn't the case.

moose, sounds spot on! (nice to be an inspiration,m cheers!)

today i didn't want to p''ss my mrs off too much so i went for subtler subcultural references lol:
red/white striped brooks bros ocbd, gray o neck merino wool top of a no-name manufacturer, same jeans asn yesterday, bloody love 'em!, chestnut brown belt, red socks, chestnut brown slim-ish soled plaiun italian lace-ups (actually the colour is more like burgundy/oxblood these days as i polish the shoes with burgundy polish and occasionally with a black one), beige short mac, burgundy small paisley silk scarf, brooks bros shades, a new 8-4-2ish haircut. well happy: a few hours work at my office, then off to lunch + a few friday pints with a good mate!

Looking exemplary as ever Daniele!

Today for no particular reason:

tan suede chukkas, dark olive socks, H&M jeans, pink/blue/white gingham BD, skinny old T.M. Lewin tie (Gurkha Rifles - dark green with little crossed kukris all over, just for that little touch of barbarity), orange shetland v-neck, natural-coloured G9.

Glad it's nice in England today, Russell, but it sucks in Pennsylvania.  It's cold and rainy, so a three piece, DB navy flannel chalkstripe suit and the cordo gunboats.  All that on the Tuesday before Memorial Day weekend.  There ain't no justice.

I'm brightening things up with a deliberatly loud combination of red gingham check shirt with a yellow tie sporting outsize light blue, orange and dusty red paisleys.

I'm wearing a European take on an American look:

American take on a Venetian loafer
European take on the khaki pant
European take on the American button-down
Scottish v-neck knit

Colours are typical menswear colours
