Day 26/ Lighten Up/ Pattern Mixing

I started with a very dark, muted base. The trousers are glenn plaid patterned but, it is very subtle. The combat boots are a nice even choclate brown.
So, up top I wanted to really lighten everything up. The 40 year old light grey herringbone does all that work.
As for the patterns, there are a lot of patterns hidden throughout. The shirt is a pencil stripe red, and white pattern with herringbone on top of it, the check gingham pocket square all on top of glenn plaid trousers.

Day 21/ Classic American

Peak lapels. Double Breasted. Cashmere. These are the three things I love about this glenn plaid sport coat. I would have loved to have had this as a whole suit, but the trousers were never produced.  The grey is perfectlty muted, I think. I am trying to evoke a classic american appearance. Yesterday I replaced my old frames. They had lasted me a decade. I hope these ray bans will, too.
