I've been wanting a royal blue suit for warm weather but it's hard to find a quality one at a reasonable price.

I just got a Paul Smith seer-sucker sportscoat (tad too tight tho) second hand.
I've seen some wonderful suits/ sportscoat but can't justify the 2k+ price-tag.
I stepped into a Zegna XXX Couture sportscoat the other day. It felt like silk pajamas. Price tag - 4k. It was 40% off, but thats still a cool 2.4k.
I tried on a light Grey Canali Exclusive, until I realized it was 2800. Fml.
I just need to make 100k/month then Ill go HAM @ the store. Its truly unaffordable for anybody else. God forbid you get somebodys flicked ash. I'd murder them.

Ive been on the lookout for a salmon coloured suit for a while now.
But for the same reasons as you mentioned above, three or four wears and it would likely not get worn again. Unless traveling.
Just dont want to be "that guy in the salmon coloured suit". But that colour is just too good.

I think it works for hot weather, as long as the shirt isn't too baggy.

Looks OK, but for real how do guys layer so damn much? That guy has on like 15mm of fabric. Even in Canada or Sweden in the winter that would be too much.
I have noticed that mens fashion online loves layered looks but the reality is just simply does not work.

Shirt. Jacket. Overcoat. 3 layers.
That would be fine for me during a UK winter, even this time of year.

Is that an overcoat? I thought it was just another double breasted jacket, over a flannel double breast. Double breast to me is already two layers, so I would count that as 5 layers.
At Christmas I was visiting family in the rockies and it was -25 Celsius and I was a shirt, jacket (single breast) and overcoat (double breast) and it was fine. I am Canadian though so anything warmer than -5 would be a recipe for damp clothes.
My English buddy wears tweed and a wool cardigan at +10 and seems fine though. I am a bit jealous of guys who can layer.

It's cherry blossom week in Japan and I was dismayed to find I didn't have any pink, white/green pocket squares. I'll definitely have one for next year.
