Favorite style pictures thread

[Teeritz]

And if you're looking for daring pattern mixes that flirt with looking like an optical illusion, here are a few:

I'd prefer to be memorable for the things I say and do, rather than for looking like a test-pattern made of Super 150. Although, this last one isn't bad. It's the most low-key one of the bunch.

[M. Montaigne]

Yes, but he was running India. I'm completing Library Studies.

There's always room for Costello in Abbot's world.

As classic as the day is long.

It's an Italian thing. Which is ironic because Italian politics is quite conservative; however, Italian street style is much more... colorful.

Here are a few ties that were a gift from Mr. Berlusconi that demonstrate how conservative his style is (despite his flamboyance in other aspects of his life). And of course, a watch is included because this is a watch forum.

Oh, I know that the Italians are masters of it. Me being of Italian parents, but I haven't been back since I was a kid in '72. I was there for six months, my mother enrolled me in kindergarten. Sky-blue smock with a navy blue tie-type ribbon thingy that hung down to the waist.

Just for you, Raza.

These four ties are about as flamboyant as I'll go;



The zig-zag Zegna one can give people a headache if they stare at it too long, the green and orange ones are polyester(!), but the patterns mimic bygone eras, as far as I'm concerned, and the cream-coloured Valentino worked surprisingly well with a pale blue shirt. Width-wise, they're not in fashion, but I'm tempted to look for a tailor who can/will narrow them down to an all-era three inch width. Might be more trouble than it's worth. And the first-world-problems aspect of it puts me off.

Depends who's on first.

To be honest, those are all way too flamboyant for my tastes.

I'm afraid I go with the basics when it comes to ties -- I prefer to play with textures than colors or patterns (e.g., knits, grenadine, shantung etc).

There's a website whose name escapes me who specialize in this. I have had a few ties taken care of, and even converted to bow ties.

It'll come to me eventually.

EDIT: Aha! Tiecrafters. Not sure if they do international, though.

Unfortunately, Tony Abbott did come first, sir.
