The madras shorts suit from Ralph Lauren. Just the thing for a Fourth of July clam bake. I think the necktie might be a bit busy, don't you?

I have no words.
That is the most horrific outfit that I have ever seen. Beware the elephants, the circus is in town.
To be honest, I quite like the shorts on their own... The cut is very nice. Though I could never wear madras.
This is no worse than what we too frequently find on The Sartorialist blog.
[Shakes head] Everyone knows you don't wear open-toed shoes with a madras two-piece suit.
Yes, Will, the necktie is clearly the problem here!
I believe Brooks Brothers had something similar earlier this year. Ghastly.
Atrocious. As 3 column grid says, the shorts on their own could pass muster, no problem. But the sandals only add insult to injury. Still, I have to admit, there's a part of me that would love to find a suit (with long trousers, not shorts) in a subtle tartan or check pattern.
It looks like he's wearing the pages of a comic book. And what's with the tie? Is the idea to dress it up a bit? The end of history must be pretty close now.
There is really no need to insult "prep" by trying to claim that this would qualify for inclusion. It is simply a poorly concieved design as regularly developed by those in the coastal design centers. Jacket too short, popped collar on jacket, shorts too long and tight, sandals with a "suit", etc. Just a slightly shorter version of the Thom Browne line, using madras as the fabric. This is about as "prep" as one of the loud striped English shirts. After all, they are all made from cotton.
No. Most definitely not.
Is it Halloween already?
