These light blue socks matched the light blue linen shirt jacket that I was wearing the other day with a short sleeved navy linen shirt and light and dark blue patterned ascot.
Edward Green correspondant shoes in chestnut leather and white reversed goat and white gabardine trousers completed the look.

I love those shoes. When you say 'reversed goat' does this mean the white parts are smooth like leather or textured like suede?
I have to get a pair of these before the summer is out. Or at least for next summer.
Reversed goat has texture similar to suede. The contrast of matte suede and shiny leather is the essence of spectator shoes.
Just perfect!
You and the Churchwells seem to have a lot of clothes. Do you ever get rid of any? If so, why? Granted, one discards garments that are beyond repair, but what about ones that still fit or can be altered to fit?
I give 4-6 shopping bags full of things to the San Francisco Symphony's resale shop each year. Everyone acquires things that do not quite work for one reason or another and in my case if something isn't worn for two years, out it goes.
If I may, such shoes were known as "co-respondent" (rather than "correspondent") shoes under the belief that they were a bit flash, the sort of shoes a cad who had seduced another man's wife and been named as a "co-respondent" in a divorce case back in the day might wear.
PS: No gibes about your own moral fibre intended, of course.
