Re: An Experiment
You may be on to something, Yachtie. I somehow get the feeling that a darker t-neck and shoes might work better. Seems to call for double-monks.

Re: An Experiment
What material is that? I think you should get one of those color for men colors that suit you like a rich tobacco brown in cashmere.

Re: An Experiment
I think it would go better with a SB, more casual (country) suit.

Re: An Experiment
What color is that suit? What material? Also when you get your sweater make sure it is long enough even after being doubled back to poke out of the jackets sleeves. Dressing the wrist is just as important for this look as with a shirt.

Re: An Experiment
I like that look more than I expected. You are right about the contrast being to high though and I second your choice of brown for the sweater. AQG's suggestion of double monkstraps would be interesting if they work for you, dark oak I think.

Re: An Experiment
Less contrast from the sweater and shoes would improve the look.

Re: An Experiment
Yeachtie, you look damn good. This is 200% better than that suit from before. I think you should wear odd jackets & trousers more often. The shoulders have a bit of manton's "pagoda" shape, which is better too. I really like this. I will save this photo.

Yachtie:
Just a tip from fashion shoots. If the cuffs of your turtleneck ride up, fasten them down with double-faced tape so you get a reveal of at least 1/2-inch. And it your turtleneck creases, slip a priest collar of somewhat thin cardboard under the fold, which can be made from the backing of a legal pad.

Re: An Experiment
Oops! I neglected to say taping your cuffs and uncreasing your turtleneck collar with a priest collar hidden underneath were strictly for purposes of photography.
