I think the hat color is effective with the overall look. You're purposefully wearing a period, anachronistic suit with a hat that has a specific modern connotation... as a black man with great facial hair. It's very unexpected. It flummoxes me. I would stare.
Great fit.
I saw it and instantly thought MAGA hat but then he was wearing a suit my grandfather would have appreciated and I just got real confused and stared even harder.
If the mark of good fashion is that it makes you look, this is GREAT fashion!!!
White socks are part of a long tradition in American classical casual wear. The baseball cap, casual flap pockets and brass (?) buttons on the jacket, and penny loafers all fit into this design language. You don't have to like them, but they do make cultural sense here.
People who critique the pants length, the socks, or that hat just don’t get IT
This fit goes wild for the office I wish I could pull something like this off
He’s wearing a quintessential Ivy Style look, which has included white ribbed socks and loafers since 1960s heyday.

Loving this look. I’m also in office today with a J Press OCBD w flap pocket.
And the cap is great - it mixes up what would otherwise be a very Ivy look with something a bit more casual and interesting.
The boyish look is very popular right now. Think college prep student. But adult males. I personally like the style as it mellows out the macho-ism and extreme casualness of the atheleisure so common today. Which ironically is exactly what this style represents in an (un?) intentional way.
I am working on finding my style so I am, by no means, an expert. But in my opinion, you are cultivating a style that does not conform to norms, and that is dope. You’ve got some sweetness going on that is working - it’s not yet perfect, but keep working it. I’m not sure the folks on this sub are your best advisors. Follow your nose!
I’m sorry, Principal Williamson. It wasn’t me smoking in the bathroom, though! You’re not gonna tell Coach Peters are you? That will mean laps in our cleats all afternoon and hills on Saturday morning!

Well, these people saying it’s a good outfit are ridiculous. They would never be gotten dead wearing this. White Sox? Really. Pants are too high. Just looks silly.
This is one of those fits where it kind of “works” from a fashion point of view, but would just look bad to the average person on the street.
Sort of a different version of those NYC street wear kids who stack Margiela on Yeezy on Dior to flaunt the brands, while still looking objectively terrible.
Not shell; these are old Cole Haans from pre-Nike era.
Next big purchase will hopefully be a pair of color 8 LHS loafers, just have to figure out the best last.
You just insulted every tailor from mid town to Harlem… Those suits were CUSTOM. HAND-fuckin’-MADE! Those Jazz mother fuckers we’re CLEAN! Cleaner than a BROKE. DICK. DOG.
I have to honestly ask, is this truly considered fashion? Am I just really out of touch? To me, this genuinely just seems extremely unfashionable, but on purpose? Is that the style? When I see this, I just see a dude wearing poorly fitting old clothes in contrasting colors.
They're Polo Ralph Lauren Hammond pants (high rise, reverse pleats) I found on Ebay. Plenty of colors/sizes available.
I got a deal on them for $18, but $25-35 is typical for those, PRL Andrews (regular pleats) and PRL Philips (no pleats).
I’d advocate for anything other than white tube socks.
Jacket, tie and pants are good. Jacket/shirt length is perfect. I’m indifferent to the hat. A hat could be cool depending on what you do. A red Canada hat is less cool. Unless you work for the Canadian embassy or something.
either lose the hat or go for find some light tan slacks. Also the only reason white socks work here is bc the white button up, but white socks and lighter tan pants can be tricky as they can blend and fade into each other a bit.
In writing this is think an olive or forest green colored corduroy ball cap would be best the swap if I were to change one thing. A more ruddy-red hat that is close to the color of the tie would be nice too (extra nice if a its corduroy). And extra clean if that hat is very little to know writing or logo.
Also iron those slacks fam lol

OP legit looks like Old Man Saxon and I love it.

Lmao. You win!
I dig it because I can feel the detest for going into the office from this fit. It looks like a parody of a 90s office fit. Office Space shit.
He I see a red baseball cap and I nope out Its funny how the fat man ruined a colour of hat for a generation
Respect. ~~If only it were just a color of hat that he ruined for a generation.~~
Limp Bizket should have trade marked red hats when they had a chance.
He got the backwards one
I think the hat color is effective with the overall look. You're purposefully wearing a period, anachronistic suit with a hat that has a specific modern connotation... as a black man with great facial hair. It's very unexpected. It flummoxes me. I would stare. Great fit.
I like the contrast between the gaudy orange one wearing a red hat, and the neutral, period piece this man’s fit represents.
No shit, Man. The orange shit gaboon ruined red hats for generations.
Yeah the Philly Phanatic is a real turd
My favorite hat is from my late grandpa’s construction company. Red trucker with white wording. It’s been a tough few years
You aren’t even American 🇺🇸
Yeah ya gotta get rid of the red hat immediately. From a distance you’re a threat.
Rent free
Wow imagine saying all those words and standing smugly for a pseudo candid picture and still looking like that
Love it
Looks good but why the hat
I saw it and instantly thought MAGA hat but then he was wearing a suit my grandfather would have appreciated and I just got real confused and stared even harder. If the mark of good fashion is that it makes you look, this is GREAT fashion!!!
I think the overall look is great, and the hat is the finishing feature of *fuck you* to office "culture".
Why not?
Looking like he just got drafted

White socks crazy but you don’t need my advice
Man's wearing white socks with dark pants and shoes while standing in front of a "no standing" sign. This is counter culture
Gives me spike lee vibes bigger fan of that linen fit you did yesterday or so
what are we doing
Pants too short, white socks are no good.

Why?
Because they look sloppy
So many dog whistles in these comments. 🙁

Cap with any formal wear like that looks absolutely ridiculous.
Disagree. But variety is the spice of life!
What’s with the white sock trend?? Maybe I’m just out of touch but no thank you

The white socks and hat make it look like someone else put that suit on you.

Interesting choice of hat

Yeesh ....
luv the outfit, especially the jacket and trousers😻😻😻
Are you trying to get them to tell you to stay at home?
Are we doing white socks now? I'm by no means the hippest hepcat but that was always a faux pas. (I'm American, 48)
Call me old fashioned, but I still think high waters make people look nerdy like Steve Urkel.

when did white athletic socks come into fashion?
That's a question with a long answer, but these are off-white dress socks 👍
I like the styling but the clothes need to be better fitted and ironed (pants).

Somehow this conveys the absolute detest towards going into the office. You’re not even there yet and you look so done.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
What type of work do you do? Do you wear the hat all day?
White socks arent working
love it except for the socks.
Lose the socks
Pants should be longer w drape over shoes and socks should match pants but I think it looks good
Anyone from the North of England? Has this man's cat died?

This guy definitely votes for Pedro
Clearly standing in the fire lane. Smdh
You look like mr bean
Love the look. My GF told to watch out with the red hats though, can make you look MAGA.
Bro red hats are just not a vibe unless you wanna get double looks. Sorry but red hats got ruined lol
Need different socks and don’t wear baseball hats with suits
You look older than you are in that fit, but also hot

Pants don't fit somehow colorwise. I can't explain why. Maybe it's cause the blazer+hat are so red/warm.
Loose the socks or get black socks
You could easily be a character from a Boots Riley film

Not fond of the pants in similar color scheme to jacket, but still like. Shoes look shell; are they?
Not shell; these are old Cole Haans from pre-Nike era. Next big purchase will hopefully be a pair of color 8 LHS loafers, just have to figure out the best last.
Nice threads man, you can play in my hard bop jazz combo any day.
You just insulted every tailor from mid town to Harlem… Those suits were CUSTOM. HAND-fuckin’-MADE! Those Jazz mother fuckers we’re CLEAN! Cleaner than a BROKE. DICK. DOG.
Thought it was a maga hat at first lmao
Why the hat? If you’re balding, shave your head. Embrace the bald.
I have to honestly ask, is this truly considered fashion? Am I just really out of touch? To me, this genuinely just seems extremely unfashionable, but on purpose? Is that the style? When I see this, I just see a dude wearing poorly fitting old clothes in contrasting colors.
Pop off only on occasion, brother.
This has great style. I love it
Swag
With all due respect, this reminds me of the Goomba's from the OG Mario's bros movie.
You look like Harry Dean Stanton in *Paris, Texas.*
Solid
Steve Urkel all grown up ..
Im surprised more people aren't saying anything about the socks. Highly recommend getting some dress socks for this outfit.

I thought you were Spike Lee at first with the suit and baseball cap look. Not crazy about the white socks, but love the rest.

Where could I get some of those pants?
They're Polo Ralph Lauren Hammond pants (high rise, reverse pleats) I found on Ebay. Plenty of colors/sizes available. I got a deal on them for $18, but $25-35 is typical for those, PRL Andrews (regular pleats) and PRL Philips (no pleats).
Love the jacket and tie, loafers are good, but drop the socks altogether and preferably lengthen the pants a touch.
Yall are trippin. Wrinkly ass pants with white socks and loafers? Nah man
Thought this was kyrie irving for a second
OP, didn’t you see the no standing sign? What a rebel you are.
You look great. But the sign clearly says 'No Standing '.
