blackfedora, I love everything but the sunglasses. Somehow they're too plasticky as compared to the organic texture of the fit. I'm just being nitpicky here so, not such a big deal really.

For me, the bottom and top don't seem to work together completely. The top looks very thin, light and airy while the bottom comes across as heavy and rough.
fedora, glasses turns you into /Hey, Neo/-strangersreactions subject, but everything else look very nice. esp the gloves. why MMoth did such a thing to em? did he just chewed fingers or what?
also, Christian. kinda perfection in every look. boring.
MBD, too late but you look fantastic in this suit and imo ccp boots compliments this fit much more than ann's.
Blackfedora, I like the fit (especially the elongated torso) - including the glasses.
But the bottom part is indeed too heavy, fabric and detailswise. Stacking doesn't look good and your right ankle seems to be broken.
What's the rationale behind that choice of footwear, Christian?
When it's 90 degrees out, the goal is simple: you want to look great with the least possible effort. By applying a single splash of bright makeup, you'll look completely put together (and totally on trend).
To pull off this hot look in the prettiest way possible, remember the golden rule: "Keep the focus to just one feature—eyes, cheeks, or lips," says Lori Taylor, lead makeup artist at Smashbox Cosmetics. You can always add further dazzle with a vibrant top or accessory. It's the summer of color—so dive in!
Sheer pink? Yawn. Instead, make a statement with one of summer's show-off shades: amethyst, lime green, turquoise, or fuchsia. "When you're going bright, file nails short and slightly rounded," says Essie founder and color director Essie Weingarten. "And apply a UV-blocking top coat every other day to minimize chipping and fading from the sun."
Style boost: Slip on a cocktail ring. A fun faux (or real!) rock highlights your nails—and glams up everything from jeans to a little white dress.
"Bubblegum and watermelon flatter light to medium skin tones, while deeper almost-purple pinks work well for darker complexions," says Uzo, international lead makeup artist for Nars Cosmetics.
Go with a semimatte formula, like BareMinerals Pretty Amazing Lipcolor in Ambition ($16; bareescentuals.com), for a hit of color that's still moisturizing. Make sure your lips are smooth, then apply color to the center of your top and bottom lips, blending out with a brush.
Style boost: Add nature-inspired accessories, like these seagrass-colored hoops.
Wearing warm, vibrant shades like coral actually perks up your skin tone, says makeup artist Vincent Longo. Even better, it adds life to your face without packing on the bronzer. To find your ultimate orange, let your skin tone be your guide: If you're fair, go for soft peachy-pink hues, Longo says. We like CoverGirl Cheekers Blush in Pretty Peach ($4; covergirl.com). The darker your skin tone, the more blood-orange you can go. To apply like a pro, start at the apples of the cheeks, then blend up and out.
Style boost: Wear a short strand of bold beads (or wrap a longer necklace around your neck a few times), so the color lights up your face—there you glow!
What's the rationale behind that choice of footwear, Christian?
Suit is a bit blueish. I saw the sneakers, which have complementary tones, waiting desperately on their display and I thought that I should give them a try as actual shoes.
I remembered, in addition, an old debate about the possibility to wear suit+sneakers, and wanted to see how it would work, thinking that the heavy shoes could work with the 2007 cut of the trousers, which is a bit wider than recent collections.
Does it look that bad ? Now, I might return the question : what's the rationale behind your question ?
Nice touch of colour rilu. But I'm not found of the matching green and the shape of the shoes' wide open shaft.

I'm not averse to a sneakers+suit combo, but your pairing here seems a little disconcerting to me, hence why I wanted to hear your perspective. I believe it might have to do with the strong colour contrast. Have you got the same pair in black? The suit itself is fantastic, I love how it's confusing my brain.
Rilu, I love the green colour, but all that grommet is a bit distracting.
