OK, so by introducing yourself you are guaranteed to get to level 2 - it's really that easy and I LOVE learning more about the cool people in this group. Feel free to share where you're from, why you're here, what you do for a living, and what you like about style. Are you a watch guy, suit guy, fragrance guy, or maybe just getting started? Have fun here!

I’ve spoken many times about the three most conservative colors of shirts: Blue, white and pink. This seems to confuse a lot of guys especially those who overlook pink. They are conservative in the right sense of that word in that they conserve precious currency because they are virtually interchangeable in terms of combining them with suits, sport coats, trousers, and ties. Every other color of solid shirt is more of a fringe color that is severely limited by comparison. The only combos to steer away from are same colors of a different tones eg some blue shirts compete with some blue outfits etc. There are some combos, however that do the opposite and blend exceptionally well with one of these three colors. For example in ascending order with a brown outfit the lowest might be white, then blue, with the best being pink with brown. Conversely with certain shades of grey these three conservative colors might reverse with pink being the least, then blue, and white being the best. But irrespectively, any of the three still are interchangeable if that makes sense-and thus are conservative. Today I grabbed my BB linen plaid jacket; a CT twill French cuff pink shirt; MTM (hand me down from pop) medium brown herringbone wool trousers; Seaward and Stern ancient madder silk foulard tie; reversible pocket square; brown argyle socks; AE shell cordovan brogues in British tan; Caravelle Bulova watch.

Never wore this shirt, Jacket and tie combination. Brightens things up a bit. Felt the matching tie, square cufflinks brought it together.
