WIWT: 11-04-2011

“Oh, look. He wore the ‘uniform’ again to work. Yawn. Why doesn’t he ever wear something different?”

I know I tend to wear something standard each day in and out, which is why I think this WIWT/NoDN thing will get boring after a while as I’ve purged my wardrobe of quite a bit other than navy jackets, grey trousers, brown shoes and navy ties.

So, here’s something different. It’s what I wore out Friday evening:

Black double-breasted flannel blazer with a purple gingham shirt and black silk knit tie.

I actually ended up swapping out the purple square for a plain white one. Felt it was going a bit overboard since I was also wearing lavender socks.

Not something you’d wear to the office, but it’s a bit more colorful for the evening. And, yes, those lapels are beasts, but whatever. I think the jacket looks pretty darn swell and I never wear this thing enough.
