Small changes of pace can add interest to a day's ensemble without resorting to blasphemies like horseshoes on one's necktie. For example, a navy stripe on a white shirt body with a white collar and a blue on white stripe with the shirt body cut so that the stripe is horizontal. The latter is a favorite because only a bit of shirt is visible in a jacket's vee opening behind the (hopefully solid) necktie, making the effect quite subtle.
The shirts in the photo were made by Joe Hemrajani from Albini's David & John Anderson cloth. They have wide spread collars and turnback cuffs.

I see your WB monogram in the shirts and couldn't help to remember another episode of "Jeeves & Wooster", in which Wooster orders hanckercheifs with his inicials and Jeeves asks if he intends to forget his own name...
"Jeeves asks if he intends to forget his own name..."
To be fair they are not actually visible. On the other hand there are those shell cufflinks with the yellow stones, I don't see those passing muster with Jeeves, a notch or two below the Spencer jacket with which the young master offended.
I do own a couple pair of Trianon links but not the shell models with the yellow stones.
Very sharp. I am loving the horizontal stripes.

My faith is restored Will! The greatest concentration of knockout cufflinks in the world is to be found in the Burlingon arcade in London imho. They're rather pricy of course but if they're out of people's price range silk knots are a great alternative.
