Is a white shirt with white shoes too matchy?

murkinlol · 2012-05-24T11:13:45.549796+00:00

In my opinion, I don't think it's too matchy. I tend to ignore the "matchy-ness" rules if the color is black or white. Like wearing a white pocket square with white shirt is fine, but purple pocket square and purple shirt is too matchy.

All your colors are very neutral (beige, navy, gray)! This is a good and bad thing: It makes matching the colors together very easy, but can look boring. You can slowly add some brigher, bolder pieces and wear them alongside the neutral ones. Example: pink polo/shirt with navy shorts.

If you want a summer alternative to jeans, go with light chinos; light both in weight and color.

And in terms of matching, it not normally a good idea to wear more than one of the same color, so don't wear navy shorts with navy polo, or gray v neck under the same shade of gray jacket.

She does it in like every film. She seems to enjoy it. :\ *shrug*

You gotta remember this is still Reddit.

Cos they look like bicycle toe stitch shoes (not good) with holes cut out of them. The sole isn't doing it any favors either.

You are a patient man.

Still in Java, still in-browser. Impressive.

No don't have it taken in. It's far too big to be worth it.

Darius_Mills · 2012-05-23T21:18:56.644268+00:00

The jacket is so big that it's sitting on his shoulders unevenly, causing this.

Thanks! There's so much great stuff out there, it really makes me want to making reading a solid habit.

Never wear brown shoes with black suit. You can wear brown shoes with charcoal or gray, however. Your belt should always match you shoes, and you should wear black shoes with a black suit (so black belt is also worn).

Shirt and tie color is up for discussion. Safest bet is a white shirt, and then the ties depend on what you have available.

Cheers, I am looking for fiction as my bookshelf consists almost entirely of non-fiction.

I heard a magic eraser can work, or a washing machine. But I must add I don't own any white plimsols.

At first I thought it was some kind of metaphor. Like, if you look at the details, Facebook and Reddit are completely different. However, take a step back and compare the two and they are very similar.

Then I realised this was in /r/mildlyinteresting.

Heh, perfectly manicured stubble sounds like such an oxymoron, but I know what you mean.

shujin · 2012-05-23T15:02:30.327070+00:00

Totally agree.

Bucks or white sneakers are two options from the top of my head. There is a shoe guide in the side bar -->

Also:

I don't anything too business like

that I can wear with ... formal dinner

I'm not sure such a shoe exists.

Does it sort of poof out from the sides? The shirt may be too big/not slim enough in the body.

it sounds ridiculously easy

No way man. What is difficult for some is easy for others, and vice versa. As long as you're moving away from your comfort zone, you're making progress for sure.

If you search "summer", you get a shit-ton of guides. They're great for inspiration.

Yeah it seems like a pretty chunky, casual watch to me. "Dressier" watches tend to be slimmer and simpler.
