Time to play help the color challenged again

I think I know those guys. They used to hang with William F. Buckley.

 

Navy blue looks great w/olive. The olive slacks make a nice step up from khakis when you're working the blazer. White and beige shirts will do the trick, too.

 

Probably not the best way to go about it, but I always just pick a tie and pick colors that correspond. If I grab my blue and white tie, I pick the blue shirt and the light khakis. Green and navy? Green shirt and navy pants work.

Olive, though - that's a conundrum.

 

I find a martini goes very well with my olive pants.

 

Shaken or stirred?

 

I wear what's clean; color is secondary.

 

Shaken of course.

 

Usually I use a tie that's mostly merlot, but some narrow stripes of olive and khaki. But I also have one that's mostly olive with narrow white stripes that goes good with olive pants, white shirt, camel jacket. And sometimes a tie that has equal narrow stripes of olive, navy and maroon with thread-width stripes of gold.

 

What's your definition of clean? The sniff test?

 

Clean = not worn more than two days in a row.

 

Turned inside out?
