Suits and Socks, Installment XII


After a week of hot weather the temperature fell ten degrees, and the wind was a harbinger of fall through my tan CrispAire suit.

The photo shows chestnut Edward Green monks with hoop striped sea island socks and the aforementioned trousers. Above the waist, a dark brown on light blue checked shirt, black knit necktie with white dots and a white linen handkerchief in the jacket's breast pocket.

If the weather is like this tomorrow there'll be wool on my feet instead of cotton, and plain weave worsteds on my body.

Love those shoes ! Why a black knit tie instead of a brown or blue or would that be too matchy? Just learning here....

I have some similar socks, and the horizontal ribbing makes them look as though they are falling down around my ankles :(
