You telling me you have a necklace hanging right on top of the tie? Come on, man, say no. Save the world.
Yes I have my gold chain necklace hanging over my tie and my bracelet on my right wrist. It may not be for everyone but I like it and that's what matters.

I like the Miami Vice look.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Any foreign particle that gets on it will be noticed.

JustJulia, do you see men in white suits in Home Depot??

LOL!! No, I mean like the people driving forklifts down the aisle with their little safety posse. I guess that was pretty obscure.

Sorry, big DIY project at home, and I have Home Depot on the brain.

Seriously, you'll have to be the boy in the bubble when you wear it to keep it clean and the guidos from killing for it.

Nah... nice suit.

Much of it depends upon the material of the suit, and color of the shirt as to the look you want to project. White linen to a casual summer affair is not a bad look, but must have the right shirt, shoes, and tie. If one goes too far one way, he can look like a waiter or an ice cream salesman; and, too far the other direction, one can look like he is a refugee from a summer wedding party. The key with white, IMO, is that everything else is elevated to a higher position in the ensemble, the sunglasses must be the right period style and color, both for the wearer and the suit, and is best reserved for a more casual affair. Granted, this perspective is from that of a Northeastern native, where white has a very short season, especially for men, when it must not only be summer, but a hot summer day, for the white to be worn.

Unless you live in the tropics, a white suit looks kind of ridiculous. And 99% of the men who think they can pull off wearing one don't in reality.
