I'm showing my lack of sophistication here, but what are the differences between the two outfits to the left?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 11 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

It's a four-piece consisting of a blazer, an overshirt and two trousers.

The description is made in this order:

Left bottom: business suit (blazer with matching trousers)
Left top: sports suit (blazer with contrasting trousers)
Right bottom: solid casual (overshirt with matching trousers)
Right top: contrasting casual (overshirt with contrasting trousers)

Yeah its the pants. Man wish we could dress nice like this and it be considered normal.

It probably depends on where you live. Here in nyc or wouldn't be considered weird

"Here in nyc or"

You either need to add a second location r someone needs to get to the bottom of why Oregon cannot come up with unique names for cities.

Hey you got down voted but I thought it was pretty funny. There's Albany, Arlington, Dallas, Dayton, Detroit, Glendale, Jacksonville, Lexington, Oakland, Pittsburg, Salem

Portland as well because Im sure Maine had that first.

Probably just a typo for "it".

If you zoom in the top two pictures the man has on checkered pants.

I think the pants and tie are slightly different
