STYLE REFEREE
TOM FELTON – RED CARD – FLAGRANT MISUSE OF SADDLE SHOE
Sending off for light suede casual shoe teamed with dark dressy three piece at Rise of the Planet of The Apes Primiere.
Am gutted for the Brit, as suit is fine, while shirt collar and tie function adequately, however cannot let this ham-fisted pairing slide, especially at his own film do*. A common and fundamental mistake: Shoes far too light for dark suit. His brazen saddle shoes are also too, too scruffy for this film star caper. Must reiterate importance of delivering a look from head to toe, even if subverting things. No evidence of clever mismatch élan, and is too young to be not caring surely. Particular shame as young Tom’s representing well in U.S., however, my bin men match their strides and boots with more flair. Felton also sporting belt with a suit, a second serious sartorial misdemeanour. Absolutely no appeal. Sorry Felto’ mate , early bath. Proper dressing is after all what separates us from the apes, no?
TS out.

Perhaps the shoe fixer was somehow waylaid, looks like an “I need shoes, it’s this or me pumps” situation.

No belt with a suit? Utter, utter nonsense. Exactly the sort of smug bleedin’ ‘Style Rules’ they peddle in GQ in an attempt to make the reader feel inferior because they don’t get their suits made by their chums on the Row.
If this is so, why do ALL designers put belt-loops on their trousers? Why can you buy belts in every shop on Bond Street? Cobblers of the worst kind, Stubbs. Give yourself a red card, for sinking to the level of Dylan Jones.

Total train wreck!

See? Even Owen agrees with me.

Yes you can wear a belt with a suit, but its not a really a smart look. if you’re breaking things down it works, sometimes. But if you’re actually trying to do formal, like matey at the awards bash, you end up looking like you’re working in Car Phone Warehouse. Its bulky too. Its provincial and naff. So bollocks to you.
Am off out now for cocktails with Dylan, and our mates from the Row.
