My Wardrobe: Navy Suit

It's not a fancy make, although it fits me well. I've had it for a while, and it calls for a touch of attention now and then; right now the interior waistband needs refurbishing, so tomorrow, off to the tailor it goes. It's single-breasted, three-button, ventless. And it possesses the great virtue of a single-breasted navy suit: it is the perfect neutral frame for other sartorial gestures. A gentleman's boldest shirt typically works quite well with his navy suit.

Today I'm indulging a look that I like a lot: going beyond the popular navy suit and brown shoes gambit to the more outre navy suit and tan shoes statement. Specifically, I'm wearing my Allen Edmonds Pembrooke tan split-toe tassel mocs -- about which more another time.
