Furthermore, a lot of nonprofits are financing at least part of their operations through grants. Those grants often require them to prove that they work was completed and done so in compliance with the grant terms. Photographs could be part of the evidence they collect to document how they used the funds.
Your fit looks good here.
The color saturation of the seersucker is really low and it reads as nearly white. So you’ve got a lot of leeway when picking colors. I would just steer away from near matching colors and patterns.
To me, colors that almost but don’t quite match are the worst. A real pet peeve that drives me nuts.
I like it. It looks composed and thoughtful. It’s still got some flashy style like the other one you posted, but more intentional.
They might be what’s called “commuter” gear. It’s performance gear that you can wear off the bike. The combination of hi-vis accents, zippered pocket, and chino cut makes it sound like it could be.
Short answer is yes, it’s too Jokerish.
Longer answer is still yes, but how to fix it depends on how Joker adjacent you want to be. Feel free to dress however you want. You can pull off a lot of looks by being confident and comfortable in your outfit. But since you’re asking I’ll share a couple of thoughts about what I would do. Feel free to mix and match based on what you prefer.
Change the black shirt for something else. Something lighter, maybe a lavender if you want to have a purple theme. Your shirt should be the lightest part of your outfit and it shouldn’t match your pants this close. If you really want to keep a dark shirt look, check out pictures of Regis Philbin when he was hosting Who Wants to be a Millionaire. It’s not a look I personally like, but he pulled it off pretty well.
Add a blazer or sport coat, and lose the vest. Vests are hard to do in anything other than a very formal setting. If you want to keep the vest, at least move the pocket square to the blazer.
Change the pants to something like a charcoal grey. Dark grey is much easier to wear than straight black and I promise it’ll look way better with your shoes.
Change the tie or pocket square, they shouldn’t match this much. One of the hard parts of dressing in monochrome is that it makes the color you do use really stand out. For the square, look for something that has purple (or whatever colors you’re focusing on) in it. For the tie, maybe try a black tie. If you want to have solid color (that’s not black) tie, think about trying out a knit tie. I’ve got a black grenadine tie that is really easy to wear with a lot of different outfits.
Lose at least one piece of jewelry accessories. There’s too much going on in too little space. You can still wear some other pieces elsewhere, like a bracelet(s) or ring(s) but don’t go nuts with it.
Interesting that even in the chain of events depicted in the comments it’s started and ended by Republicans and the poster assigns all the blame to Democrats.
Significantly more here. I never really liked Reddit, but a couple of my hobbies had communities there so I felt like I had to use it. I stayed away from anything that wasn’t a niche personal interest and avoided the bigger subreddits and front page. Here I check out the front page frequently and am pretty generous with upvotes. It feels more like an investment in a community I want to be successful, and not like there’s anything intrinsic to Lemmy that encourages it.
No, they won’t look right with anything formal. They’re fine for “office casual” or something, but if the host has asked for formal attire this isn’t it.
If you like these, try for a more conventional tassel loafer. The problem is really the sole, and stitching.
These being Docs, that puts the price around $150 to $200. That’s good news, you’ll have a lot of options in the same price range. Start shopping early, especially if you have to do mail order. A wedding can be a long day, especially if you’re dancing at the reception afterwards. It may take you a little while to find something that works for you.
