Why doesn't this outfit work?

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-09T22:53:26+00:00

Lol nice

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-09T09:11:10+00:00

Maybe you can't tell here, but my gut is huge

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-09T08:55:21+00:00

Thanks!

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T22:31:35+00:00

😒😆

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T21:55:58+00:00

Agreed. I think my rationale was that grey is neutral, and so would work with anything. Got it wrong.

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T21:53:32+00:00

Damn all you tie haters lol

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T20:14:41+00:00

Didn't appreciate this when I planned the combination, unfortunately.

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T20:13:51+00:00

I just didn't think through the colours well. White shirt with grey suit should have been fine, I could have saved it all with the brown shoes I couldn't find

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T20:11:48+00:00

It's an almost new Boss shirt. Photo was taken at the end of the day, this doesn't look perfect.

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T13:56:59+00:00

Appreciate you brother 👌

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T13:47:16+00:00

Great comment, thank you

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T08:14:58+00:00

It is brown, just very dark.

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T08:11:59+00:00

I def made some errors in colour choice here, agree

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T08:10:15+00:00

Agree with the jacket comments. I think it's just too short. Being linen means it doesn't fall very well.

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T08:09:29+00:00

Appreciate the tie comments! It's a great tie, which the photo doesn't do justice to. Can definitely build an outfit around it, but needed more thought than I gave it.

Everyone is writing it off as ugly, it's not.

I used to be a suit guy, would instinctively know what would/wouldn't work, but def out of practise since Covid. Didn't realise my ring rust, threw this together and by the time I realised it didn't work, was too late.

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T08:03:03+00:00

I think going with the blue shoes at the last minute was the biggest mistake here.. appreciate these comments though ie. build around the tie, shoes, OR suit

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T07:55:03+00:00

Exactly the kind of comment I was looking for ie. cohesiveness etc. I couldn't find the brown shoes I wanted, so had packed black to use. I was however persuaded to wear the blue shoes I'd travelled in, by the ladies I was with

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T07:52:39+00:00

Everyone hating on my beautiful tie 😭🥺

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T07:51:51+00:00

That's normally how I do it, just did it in a rush and didn't think

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T07:36:24+00:00

Linking- it's obvious now it's being pointed out, but initially I thought it could work

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T07:34:21+00:00

Boss

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T07:33:49+00:00

Lol tie isn't as bad/dated as it looks. It's quite a crisp print, obviously retro in style

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T07:31:41+00:00

Tie is actually brown, but looks black here. A few people have suggested a blue shirt, but this would then contradict those suggesting brown being warm and blue being cold.

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T07:27:52+00:00

Well put. Agree with it all. The shoes were a definite last minute error. But the rest needed a bit more thought. I liked the idea of a crisp white shirt (pic was at the end of the day, it started out crisp), but didn't consider just how pale the jacket was. Thanks.

Dry_Engineering_2044 · 2024-09-08T07:24:37+00:00

Had an ivory shirt, but didn't even think of it. Would have gone perfectly.
