Shirt: Calvin Klein / Tie: Geoffrey Beene / Belt: GAP / Pants: Perry Ellis



I really like this outfit. The shirt fits well and so do the pants. Let see: On paper this doesn’t seem very original (understatement of the year): The ubiquitous, corporate-issue baby-blue shirt (fits the bill like a G.I.) and khaki slacks.

Here’s what separates it from the crowd, though: texture, texture, texture.

There are 3 “dimensions” for a shirt: color, pattern and texture. I view the first 2 items as "2-D", whereas texture for me is "3-D"… the end result is that texture can make an otherwise plain (at first glance) white dress shirt downright intricate and allows for greater creativity when one is confined to basic, corporate friendly colors and patterns.
