Edwardian Dandy

Here’s another one of my “faux suits”. The jacket and the trousers aren’t the same texture at all, but they look passable from afar, don’t they? And to have a little more fun with it, I decided to pair them with my embroidered shirt to give the impression of a tie without actually wearing a tie. Now, there isn’t anything inherently Edwardian about this outfit, but for some inexplicable reason, when I put it out, I felt the sudden urge to wear a top hat and carry a cane (and maybe wear a monocle too, though my Asian nose cannot handle a monocle at all), hence the post title. So maybe it’s less Edwardian and more Mr. Peanut.
