Some fabrics just go together better than others. Cotton for example is perfect with cotton trousers and fine next to linen but during the day it is not matte enough for my taste when worn with wool trousers. I am happy when the temperature declines a few degrees and wool hose come back into their own.
Light gray suit of H. Lesser 9/10 ounce cloth worn with espresso brown shoes and Bresciani's mid-gray Super 140s hose with black clocks (did you know that the technology for knitting socks with clocks was lost for half a century or so and only recently re-invented?).

Those shoes are absolutely superb, Will. I can describe how beautiful they are.
The contrast between the trousers and the slightly darker socks is perfect. Those thin lines are a far cry from the clocks I remember, but it's a start.
Are shoes beginning a stealth return to black? When the sun goes down they are effectively black anyway, except for the laces. Why not just call them "dark grey" and be done with it?
I guess it's an easy way to get more formal after six
Hurray for the return of clocked socks!
P.S.: Wonderful combination.

Why not call them brownish-grey and be dun with it?
