This one goes to eleven...

Dressing on a budget... It's a common myth that dressing well is expensive, so to help bust that myth I wanted to put together an outfit that doesn't break the bank: this one totalled just $59AUD. --- You'd probably be right to look at the combo of striped shirt and polka dot tie and think that shouldn't work; if it was just the two of them I'd agree, though the choice of pocket square provides a bridge between them that works for me. Navy loafers are also an unorthodox choice, though this particular suit's navy contrast buttonholes provide a good bit of colour harmony to tie the pairing together. --- Will the fit, proportions and choices be perfect? No. That's part of the consequence of a super tight budget. Will you still look solid? Yes!

Paging Tom Selleck...

Bit of TV trivia for you: Did you know that Miami Vice's main characters were almost styled like this? When main actor Don Johnson first saw the unstructured suits and tee shirts in pastel colours that were the show's planned wardrobe, he was adamant that he wanted his character to have a masculine look; V neck sweaters, jeans and boots. However they convinced him to give the Vice look a go. It took off around the world, he learned to love it and the show was always renowned for the style portrayed on it.

The finished product of the three piece herringbone suit commissioned through @knightsmanbespoketailors. I had the occasion to debut it last weekend and very much enjoyed wearing it. Full writeup now live on SamTalksStyle.com, hit the link in bio to read!

A casual ensemble inspired by some of @whyweweardotcom's collegiate outfits. A mix of thrifted and bargain new scores. I haven't worn this 1/4 zip for almost six months, recently discovered it sitting behind my pile of sweaters. --- Varsity jacket @poloralphlauren, thrifted. 1/4 zip @calvinklein. Chinos @poloralphlauren. Hat repping the mighty @steelers via @mitchellandness. Capped off with vintage @r.m.williams_official chelsea boots.
