Styin' and Profilin':

 

StylinandProfilin-1.jpg

 

Trying on my outfit for the work's Christmas party. You'll have to forgive the pose, I panicked when the timer light started flashing like a mad bastard.

 

Opinions? I'm liking it quite a bit more than I thought I would. The top half looks pretty rad with jeans too IMO. No picture of that though.

Might lose the pink lace, but probably. Trainers and suits are win.

 

I don't do shoes.

 

Trainers with a suit makes you look like an idiot.

 

White trainers with a suit makes you look like a dick.

 

You really need to get some shoes for that suit. Or at the very least some plain black trainers.

A little tact wouldn't go amiss.

 

Sorry I don't understand what you're saying.

 

 

Seriously though the suit looks great. But you need to wear shoes. Even if just some cheap ones from shoezone or similar.

I don't think trainers are the problem, it's the "chunky" style (no idea how to describe it) of the ones being worn. Vans or Converse would look better imo if you don't want fancy shoes (I'm imagining matching them with a blazer rather than a full suit though). The suit looks nice :)

I agree with Moogle.

 

EDIT

 

But if you are gonna go with trainers, personally I'd ditch the statement lace... don't see it working.

There are better ways to say it looks shit. Specifically, not saying it makes me look like an idiot or a dick.

Yeah, the lace is more to do with the fact that I don't actually have a pair of black laces and I've been wearing them with normal clothes too. For the suit, I'll probably get a pair of black laces.

 

I think people are missing that it's not a job interview or anything :p No need to wear the most formal attire ever.

 

Yeah, I think most people at work have been confused by the dress code (or haven't even been told). I think most people will be in smart casual stuff, maybe even jeans etc. It's not like it's in the fanciest of locations either. I've heard at least one person say "I'm not wearing a suit to that place".

Actually, one person wears slippers to work. I may wear some as a nod to him.

It doesn't matter about whether you wear the suit but wearing the suit with trainers doesn't mix well at all.

 

Either wear the suit and some other shoes, or don't wear the suit and wear your trainers.

I was joking that I didn't know what tact meant.

 

I didn't mean to offend you. I thought it was obvious that I was jokingly over the top. You know that I don't consider you an idiot or a dick, far from it.

 

Sorry Goafer.

I think that the suit and shoes work well. It's like saying, I will put my finger in sensual places, and at rampantly inappropriate times, but there will be a sense of class about the whole affair.

Cheers for the opinions guys. I knew it would divide opinions! Turns out my parents saw some black laces today and bought them for me, so the pink lace is going (although it's staying for other outfits). I'm thinking I'll just wear the trainers. I'd rather be the person who tried something different and failed than the person who buckled and wore something that everyone else is wearing and feel uncomfortable in the process (I really don't like shoes, although I obviously wear them for weddings etc).

 

And just remember: it could be worse.
