Not everyone has the same taste, or can carry off bright colours. I donāt agree with everything all the time.
I could do with a style guru myself. Iām scruffy and tend to wear the same things all the time.
So if you have the confidence to wear whatever you want and say boo to people who donāt agree with your choices, good for you.
I happen to think @accycyclist is very stylish and has a good eye for fashion.
Heās not harming anyone, and I find this thread interesting and distracting.
Love the black and white shoes by the way.

I pull Accy's leg, but thats because hes a good sport. In this day and age when doctors, politicians, weather presenters, estate agents, east end gangsters, etc, can't be arsed to wear a tie its good to see that someone still possesses sartorial standards.

Getting away from cowprints pink and loafers in general,
I've bought myself some reconditioned Church's Gunthorpe semibrogues.
Interestingly (or not - you decide) I have a dark tan pair of these I bought in the mid 90's in their half price sale, which were still comfortably the most I'd spent on a pair of shoes at the time. 30 years one they are still going strong although have been resoled a couple of times.
These ones have had way less wear, pretty sure they are on original heels and soles, rubber ones on these, my tan ones were/are full leather, but with the same heel with the rubber wedge insert which, along with the lines of steel pins, really helps with wear rate.
So I now have matching black & tan Church's Gunthorpes! š Which will probably do another 30 years wear, or however long I've got left!!

If this was the one in Stornoway some of the jackets when I was there were made by Brooktavener who are based in Yorkshire. š±They were cheaper on their website.

I have one of those in my Wardrobe - just the jacket - its very nice bought in one of the many Brook Taverner sales! I confess to have 4 other tweed (but not Harris) full 3 piece suits, 3 cheapish but nice Cavani ones, and another Brook Taverner one made with Alfred Brown Yorkshire Tweed, which was the recent wedding suit.

I bought the blazer today. I tried to buy it last night, but when using a different bank card it wouldn't accept it at first. After a few attempts it did do, but then the site told me it'd sold out of my 42L size. I gave up, thinking it'd thought that it'd sold me the last 42L blazer before, deciding to try again today. Anyway, it accepted my payment, so the blazer should be here by Tuesday or Wednesday.š

I know you have long arms but your jackets seem too wide in the shoulders and way too long in the length. I have been noticing this for a while. Would you not be better buying less and going made to measure.
Some of your jackets look like shortie overcoats.
Plus Iām not sure the brim of your hat should be as wide as your shoulders.
