'Semi'Formal Dinner outift
Last night, I attended a dinner event and decided to wear my recent purchase of Roush Pure Leather Formal Derbys in coffee brown by building my entire outfit around them. - I wore a tailored blue self-design formal suit, though I’ve realised I’m outgrowing it a bit! - My shirt was a bright brown and white striped piece from Domani Blue Label, a thoughtful gift from my time in the USA. It’s quite smart, with a great fit and a smooth cotton mix finish. - I accessorised with a tan leather belt from Calvin Klein. - The coffee brown Roush derbys completed the look. - Grey stone-studded silver cufflinks added a touch of elegance. - I wore textured blue socks that reached up to my shins. - My grandfather’s Omega Automatic watch from the 1970s, complete with a custom-built light green leather strap, was a cherished addition. - I used a slick collar to keep my shirt collar upright, though I mistakenly chose a larger size, which slightly peeked out from one corner. Thankfully, it went unnoticed. - For fragrance, I applied Terre d’Hermes on my undershirt and Christian Dior Bois Talisman on my shirt and neck. I’m particularly fond of the burnt firewood scent from Talisman. - One oversight was forgetting my pocket square. Hope everyone is having a great weekend :)
