Turtle neck with a blazer/suit makes you look so 90's.

Just wondering what's the tune in the background? Very catchy.

[carlyslem]

I agree. I also think the overall concept of these looks is refreshing and gives a modern edge on classic menswear.

Mr Porter needs to replace this dude. HE IS BORING!!! AND the suit? How tall is this model? 7FT? Suit looks so short on him!!! and the white T-shirt underwear in look 1 just RUINS it..

1st look: the shirt is too loud, but the outfit is ok overall
2nd look: not too sure about that one...
3rd look: it's great, but I wouldn't wear sneakers with a suit
4th look: perfect! that's the epitome of formality and elegance in that suit
5th look: like it! the pocket square ads a nice flash of color and the turtle neck makes it perfect for a weekend retreat in a luxurious cabin in the woods

Honestly probably the most wearable of all of this dudes styles.

[Dadee]

You fucked up the 1st outfit by showing the white t-shirt underneath. Button that shirt all the way up, man!!!!

[localfox]

[Lommy]

The best taste as you would always expect from MP. And the model is yum

[MrTerryferns]

What’s the soundtrack playing in the background? Sets the perfect mood...

Did you establish if its a navy suit for war

[jasminderpinder]

I'd have used the polka dot pocket square in look #4. I think the roll neck is too high in look #5, almost resembling a neck brace or one of those ethnic neck-stretchers. None of these looks grab me (and I wear a lot of navy suits in many ways), but I still look forward to and appreciate this series.
