Puppytooth wool suit with wide peak lapels from Cavour, light blue shirt from Charles Tyrwhitt , navy Fleur-de-lys silk tie from Charles Tyrwhitt, and black penny loafers from Henry Stevens.
From a few steps back, this suit reads as a classic mid-grey tone. Up close, it’s a fine black and white puppytooth weave that adds depth and texture without feeling overly patterned.
I ditched the navy blazer for a denim blouson. Double denim isn't a fashion mistake. It’s all about getting the proportions and contrast right. A tie can also work!
Skinny suits constrict movement, distort body proportions, and age poorly.
Classic proportions are timeless aesthetic.
Brown suits are often called boring or overly conservative, but in a rich dark chocolate shade with a subtle pinstripe, it’s one of the most versatile suits you can own.
I spiced it up with a purple striped shirt and a Repp tie to bring out the warm undertones in the wool.
Alongside the olive green check I shared recently, I also scored this second tweed jacket during that same 2022 thrift shop run in Reading for around £17. Since you enjoyed the last post I thought I might add this!
Picked up this and another tweed sport coat second-hand in the UK in Reading back in 2022 for about £15.
When I went back this year the place wasn't there anymore.
