Grocery store visit, turning heads!

Yesterday, I went to a (large wholesale) grocery store with wife. I wore this semi-blue monochrome dress, but to my pleasant surprise, I saw a few heads turn (almost acknowledging that I stood apart, hopefully in a nice way 🙂). I had fun, and we achieved our objective of saving big on monthly groceries!

THE TOP: Floral printed soft-collar polo with blue prints in a mustard background (in 100% cotton)

THE OUTER LAYER: Light-wash denim jacket (Levi's Type III).

THE BOTTOM: Navy MTM chinos with high waist.

THE WATCH: Blue strap, blue dial, gold frame

THE BELT: Black

THE FOOTWEAR: Blue suede penny loafers

THE BRACELET: Aquamarine sky blue

THE PERFUME: Memoir - Solid cologne

Nuances in this ensemble:

The floral blue print in the polo matches with the light-wash blue in the denim jacket. The warm mustard tone in the polo's background balances the coolness of blue. The navy cotton trousers add continuity to the top portion and elongate the appearance vertically. The blue suede loafers complement the overall blue in the outfit while keeping things stylishly casual. The bracelet does its job of matching with the jacket. And, the blue strap watch blends with the outfit while making a quiet statement on its own.

Noticeably, I had to get my polo collars on top of the denim's because the collars are soft and do not sit well underneath the jacket. This is the first time I sported this "bold" look but carried the look effortlessly (which is important when you experiment). I think having this collar style could be deliberately used as a hack when the polo collar is soft (this enhances the value-per-wear as well as longevity of your polo 😎).

Let me know your thoughts. Happy weened guys!
