Nice green wool jacket over this and some tan coloured trousers. Boom!
The 1970s called - they'd like their curtains back

It looks much better on I will admit ha ha. Lovely shirt though and it is a celebration after all ;)

I decided against wearing my bright pink trousers (yes really)

I own a number of shirts from Duchamp so I can hardly complain (reminds me I need to dig one out and try on for my event next Saturday).

I am also in the office today with pale blue calf-skin brogues - with matching leather belt - although in midnight blue rather than the burgundy chinos.

Classic Paul Smith socks though :)

We need to style this out boys. Not being out done by the Germans.

^ this!

For those not able to make it the town is beginning to swarm with Alpinas of all shapes and sizes. Particularly like the burgundy B6 with the presumably fake German numberplate "ALPINA" plus a very nice silver Z8 :)

All of them nothing compared to the Audi Q3 TDi Ultra hire car I had. Within 7 miles if maxed it on the autobahn (new record for pick up to maxing). 209 kph not bad for a bus...
