A better look at Nikolai's Melbourne Cup/Victoria Derby Day outfit, but I'm still itching for a shorter jacket.
I think
spezzato is the term for wearing a jacket and pants that don't match?
So much is going on in that photo.
I think casual formal is the term. Doesn't do for me though. You either dress sharply or you don't.
I'll skip Nikolai's alluring hair. ?
The jacket is way too long and also pretty dark. A dark suit with light pants can be a good contrast, doesn't work here.
It gets worse if you combine it with a dark tie. Here a colorful tie would work. A merry tie. - This is... - Sorry, dozed off for a moment.
And if you are to wear a loose tie, wear it "obviously loose". Here it looks like it has loosened and Nikolai is too inebriated or whatever to tighten it.
Dark round sunglasses can look sinister and menacing and that would be a nice, exciting, perhaps even enticing touch. But
not with white rims! It ruins the whole thing.
But then we have the flower in the button hole. As you may know I'm a sucker for such details. The leaf with the flower makes it more masculine. That works!
But... where are the cuff links? Where is the handkerchief? There is so little going on with that jacket and no contrast so that makes it... Sorry, nodded off again.
The shirt is ok I suppose. Looks comfortable. Don't know how hot it is in Melbourne, so won't g any further on that.
The light pants look comfortable as well, but they could easily be a bit tighter. because Nikolai "ain't got ripe gooseberries" (= skinny legs. "Ripe gooseberries" = fat legs.)
His shoes have solid soles, presumably to have a better grip should he step on an icy surface in Melbourne. They could seriously do with a bit of shoe polish. Yes, they could, Nikolai. Look after your shoes and they'll look after your feet, Nikolai.
So all in all, Nikolai could do better. It's not the worst I've seen in this thread, but he sure ain't the best either!
