Sheer stripes and spectator shoes

A sheer sweater is one of the ways to layer in warmer countries, even in summer.

Blue horizontal over blue vertical stripes.

The clerk at Giordano Concepts says the pair is part leather, part kesh - whatever that is. Point is, though it's not my ideal spectator pair, it's as comfortable as sneakers.

Crest on crest

Since I like different parts of this outfit, let me focus on them separately, in the manner of Jak & Jil and Style Bubble.



I like the repetition of crests on the tie and the shirt, though they are of different design.



It is all but natural that the pockets of these nylon pants are found on the front, and are doubled by zippered compartments. These pants are probably among my favorite pairs.



Also these hybrid leather spectator shoes, which look oddly more interesting with the nylon pants because of the hem drawstrings.

Overall, I feel good combining different textures: wool, cotton, nylon, semi-leather, and leather. Joining the parts together feels like creating the complete meal.
