Dress Up, Dress Down


Dressing Up on a Friday
Dressing Down on a Saturday

Yes, I sometimes like to wear a suit on the weekends. You should try it. It feels good. And you can never have too many crisp white shirts. My humblest apologies for the harsh shadows, I took both photographs just after dawn, but please do click for larger images to see the detailing. Oh, and I do actually smile in real life.

I truly hope you are having a lovely weekend :)

i like the dressing down on saturday.
looks a bit "decadent",
the feeling is good, and match with the atmosphere of dawn.

so excellent. nice details. hope you had a wonderful weekend. Its interesting what makes your weekend. Mine was homemade napkins. Yeah, these pretty little napkin to make tea time so much more enjoyable. My Mom gave me this book. Bend the rules of sewing. anyway, at least I'm getting some practice on my sewing machine.

Escapist said...

Oh you look handsome in this suit and i liked the red tie.....

the shadows give a pretty cool effect. you are the definition of dapper here sir! i like the detail of the navy cardigan with the red tie look, and the relaxed version of the 2nd one. i think the grey suit is the men's equivalent to the LBD.
i just helped a gentleman yesterday pick out a custom charcoal plaid suit and im praying it comes out perfect!

Keith said...

Hey there. I'm back from my blogging vacation. I hope you had a great week and weekend. I enjoyed myself this Thanksgiving holiday. I did miss your blog. Take care. Have a fantastic week ahead. Cheers!

Anna Pope said...

Darling, I see why you have "dapper" in the title of your blog! You are looking exquisite, love everything from the impeccable suit to that perfect touch of color that is your tie!

I love the shadows..great lighting..its like you should be in your own mystery show..or something. a mystery solving a mystery..that kind of thing. I know I'd watch it.

I just recently saw the sunrise this week in many, many years. It was great. You look like you're about to take me out on my dream date. :)

blaqbird said...

Eyeliah said...

Christian Castillo said...

The Friday outfit is too cool. I am convinced I need a suit now.

Victoria-H said...

Thaaanx :D
2 lovely ways to use a suit, and you look great in both ways !

pinkapplecore said...

oh no I like the shadows like that tall stranger coming out of the shadows type deal!

You look awesome! ^. ^

Jennifer Fabulous said...

Great photos! You are so handsome in both of them and have such great style in both too. :) I think my favorite is the first photo (dressed up). There is something about a man in a tie that makes my knees weak. Hehe! I hope you are having an amazing week!

Hanako66 said...

drollgirl said...

Graham I. Haynes said...

I second your views on the weekend suit and crisp white shirt. The shadows are actually sort of interesting.

Wow DK, you look fantastic! There's nothing smarter than wearing a 3-piece suit! Really like the hankerchief in the first piece in contrast with the tie. And I love the casual take on the suit in your second pic, which still looks impeccable and tailored, but with a softer edge, thanks to the V-neck you're wearing.

Hope you're having a great week so far :)

Anna Jane said...

There is never a wrong time in which to wear a suit! Love it

I actually love the shadows! However, I do not love "crisp white shirts". I know most will not agree but.... I always prefer a salad crisp and clothing soft! But you do look incredibly Dapper in that suit though.

Allison said...

It never ceases to amaze me how positively lovely you are, darling. You look so wonderful and veryy handsome =)
I wish more men wore suits on weekends - it definitely works for you! I hope you have a wonderful upcoming weekend, dear.

Amelia said...

I love the light in these pictures! The "dressed down" look is just wonderful :)

Marie-Louise said...

yes! such a wonderful concept. dressing up when you usually dress down and dress down when you are usually to dress up
mix it up a bit!
have a lovely weekend

enc said...

You're a great example of how good a suit on weekends looks. I wish every guy would try this.

Keith said...

Hey there. How are you today? I hope you've been enjoying the weekend. Take care. Have a great week ahead. Cheers!
