Hi all, Now that I see how much I am enjoying wearing suspenders with my high-waisted trousers, it's time to build out a collection. I will probably use Kirby Allison, as the first pair is from them and worked well. If anyone has another manufacturer you recommend I check out, please let me know. My primary question here is: what colors/patterns would you recommend for a business executive wearing suits, odd trouser/jacket combos? My first pair are navy with white polka dots and I would like to get 3-4 more sets. Oddly, as much as YouTube loves videos on how to build out your shoes, ties, gloves, suits, I cannot find anything on guidance for this area. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

CW = Critiques welcome! Another crazy day! Lots of planning for the big expansion, so it's fun stuff! Client, vendor, internal, and recruitment meetings today. The tie is a great one I often forget I own. Seeing it camera (still and video) makes me realize how the shading forms into a nearly stripped tie pattern. Outfit SUIT — Ralph Lauren Light Brown (SJ‑010 & SL‑019) This light‑brown RL suit brings a refined, confident presence with warm tones that project stability and approachability. The wool drapes cleanly and keeps you sharp through VCs, hallway conversations, or internal leadership moments. SHIRT — Charles Tyrwhitt White Twill, Point Collar, French Cuff (DS‑040): The white twill shirt adds a crisp, authoritative foundation that balances the warm suit. The point collar gives a streamlined vertical line that works perfectly with today’s tie and the Half‑Windsor knot. UNDERSHIRT — True Classic White (US‑001): This white undershirt disappears under the twill and keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the day. Ideal for a 69°F high while maintaining a clean silhouette. TIE — Kenneth Cole Green & Tan Micro‑Square (NT‑003): The green introduces a cool contrast to the warm suit, while the tan pattern ties everything together. Finished with a Half‑Windsor for a balanced, structured look that pairs well with the point collar. POCKET SQUARE — Light Tan Silk/Wool (PS‑002): A subtle light‑tan square adds sophistication without competing with the tie. The Presidential TV fold keeps everything clean, professional, and business‑formal. CUFFLINKS — Gold Rectangle / Woven Gold (CL‑011): Warm gold tones elevate the light‑brown suit and pair effortlessly with the gold accents on today’s watch. The rectangular shape reinforces clean lines and a composed executive look. Tie Bar — TA‑003 (Gold Plain Bar): A minimalist gold tie bar with clean horizontal lines that adds a precise touch of structure without drawing attention away from the tie’s green‑and‑tan pattern. Its polished gold finish perfectly echoes the gold tones of today’s cufflinks and watch markers, reinforcing a unified metallic story while maintaining true business‑formal restraint.

Heading to CT today. The weather is threatening to get a bit warmer today so I thought I’d go lighter in color to try to coax the warm weather to stick around!!
