I have to admit, I’m a little impressed with the light grey suit & dark brown tie combination.

Suit tailored to perfection. Love how the cuffs peak out and the colour combo just works

Not so sure about “suit tailored to perfection” for me it looks a bit too small. Look at the legs it feels like the fabrics is stretched to the max.

fully agreed, first thing i noticed. still looks good though.

Fabulous, fantastic, cool elegance. I have not ever thought of gray and brown as a combination, but it will be a new thought. I like the addition of jewelry choice in this photo, it makes it both casual, approachable, and a bit sophisticated.
Always a great eye!

I love the brown check trim on his pocket kerchief.
Nice touch.
Marisa
September 7, 2012 at 10:07 am
I noticed that too and L.O.V.E. the littlest detail of the check. That and the dark belt really connect it all so it doesn’t look like just a bold brown tie with a light grey suit. And as I look at the photo again (and again and again), I think his coloring makes the combo work too — the grey doesn’t wash him out and the brown accessories draw attention to his wavy brown hair.

September 6, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Dude! Score!!! Light gray can look cheap, but the check makes this something else – something better – MUCH better. I think the tie has a lot of texture which takes him into a whole different league. Then the trim on the pocket square making it all make sense… this guy REALLY knows what he’s doing! I thought I could work a suit combo, but this guy scares me. If we worked together, I’d really have to pay attention!

A man can never go wrong with a crisp light gray suit. This one looks AWESOME!

Dave
September 6, 2012 at 7:20 pm
Nice look… but can we all please agree to button up unless we really plan on rolling up our surgeon cuffs? Please? Even off the rack/peg suits have functional buttons now.
The Sartorialist
September 6, 2012 at 9:39 pm
you gotta chill dave, why do you really care about the buttons on another mans suit?
dcinDC
September 7, 2012 at 7:21 pm
I dunno, Sart, this blog has inadvertently always made me feel somewhat inferior for not having working buttons on my suits and jackets. Seems that only the “best” ones have this feature. Personally, I have never seen it and I have some relatively expensive suits. I wonder, tho, since they have lost their original functionality, why they even still make them… I guess I could take all mine to the tailor and have them all turned into functioning button holes, tho I wouldn’t likely ever unbutton them, so… what’s the point really?
Patrick
September 12, 2012 at 12:48 am
My own personal rule: a button or two on the left hand sleeve only, and only if you’re wearing a watch. I like the pretense of function, and like the asymetry as well. I wear my own jackets that way. But I’m not fond of giganto watch faces, nor of the proliferation of hip(ster?) bracelets.

The discreet windowpane pattern
of his suit calls for a solid, textured tie.

Suzanne Nelson
September 7, 2012 at 1:12 am
A first I thought the cut is a little too snug to be truly flattering but as a photo that slight off-ness adds charm and serves to accentuate the terrific color combo and pocket square touch. Great image!
Vicki Fields
September 7, 2012 at 1:12 am
Who could have thought that brown and grey would blend that way and come out splendid. The color works well for the light skinned people it isn’t for everyone, all in all it is a great combination.

September 7, 2012 at 1:17 am
I have to confess that the grey suit is very impressive. He is so elegant and he looks just fine.
Ty Walter
September 7, 2012 at 1:31 am
Amazing attire! No doubt, he looks so elegant and I love how that light grey suit and dark brown tie combination go with the chest pocket brown strips! The pose alone fits him with his expensive watch; I love the design of it and I would wish my man to look just decent like that!
Stacey Sweeney
September 7, 2012 at 1:31 am
That tailor made suit was just perfect and the combination was elegant and that is so trendy. Those colors real come out well and that can be worn to any occasion.

I am impressed too. He looks just fine. I like his watch too; and the bracelet.

Is he missing two buttons on his sleeve? His pants are so tight that they look about ready to burst at the seam.

What I don’t like is the missed opportunity. With a necktie, a man has a chance to make a statement. It’s an article of clothing that can make an ensemble “pop”. It doesn’t happen here, for me.

September 7, 2012 at 1:34 pm
I love his suit. The brown tie adds a subtle “pop” without being distracting. Great shot, love the way you captured him sitting and looking back…

If, like me, you are bummed because your jacket sleeves don’t have working buttonholes, see this from askandyaboutclothes.com: “Edward Duke of Windsor, did not have working buttonholes on his jacket cuffs. Working buttonholes were once a sign of a custom made garment, that is no longer the case as they are now found on rather pedestrian garments. And, if you do chose to add them to your jacket, please keep them buttoned.” So, as I said earlier, “What’s the point?” If the Duke didn’t need them, that’s good enough for me!
