Suits and Socks, Installment XXII


Astaire taught us that lighter colored socks draw the eye to the ankle even when they are not brightly colored or outrageously patterned, and in the photo a mid-blue pair of pin-striped Bresciani hose does just that.

Worn with a pair of chocolate brown W. S. Foster slip-ons that I do not tire of photographing and a chalk striped suit in navy blue flannel. Above the waist, a discreetly checked light blue on white shirt, gray grenadine necktie and a silk square with blue and gold on a cream ground.

Not sure how I feel about pinstriped socks with pinstriped trousers, especially when the stripe color and spacing are different. Magnificent Fosters shoes, though. Hope the new addition is adjusting well and hasn't furred your Ambrosi pents or slept on your lengths of cloth.
