Nonchalance


In the photograph, a pair of wine colored hose adds a little nonchalance to a Sunday ensemble, for one should never take one's clothing too seriously.

Above the waist, a yellow oxford shirt provides a background to the yellow and navy necktie that complements the jacket and its buttons in an otherwise too consistent sort of way. The navy silk pocket square has a bit of gold and a bit of wine but there is no other excuse for the socks.

Those wine-colored socks are a nice touch!

Hi,
I enjoy and look forward to your emails. I learn so much from them. Thank you for that. Your whole outfit pops, and I love the wine colored socks. Very nice indeed. How do you get your collars to stay so nicely against your shirt? Is your shirt a button down or do you do something else?
Thank you again for your time,
Todd Kunz

That wasn't meant to be an "only wear monks with a blazer" post Jimmy. It was raining the day the Nonchalance photo was taken and I am wearing rubber soled bluchers for traction in the wet.

I didn't realize it until I looked at this picture again, but I was clearly inspired by you in my choice of clothes the day after I saw this post: yellow shirt, blue tie, blue jacket. I had a yellow pocket square, though.

You have convinced me that I need a tie like the one you're wearing. What's the source of yours, if I may ask?
