Match Point

My husband, Christopher, has a thing for mismatched suits. At first I thought it was just the natural contrarian disposition that comes with his being an artist. But then I started to think that -- in most cases -- mismatching actually works really well. And then I saw this guy in the picture below wearing a pinstripe suit jacket with solid pants, and the guy below him in non-matching gray separates -- which may not be as extreme as Christopher wearing two different pinstripes or mixing a gray Prince of Wales check jacket with brown Prince of Wales check trousers, but it made me realize that perhaps other guys are having the same -- albeit more subtle -- thought. Stay tuned.

is there really nothing better than this??? so boring.

I am not sure that this can be called a suit anymore. Isn't just an odd jacket and pants? The same as wearing a sport jacket and dress pants? I like the idea though. It is good casual with no tie as there is already enough interest in mixing suit jackets and pants.
