Show Ring Clothes - This Time Not For The Girls!

OK, need to find OH a dressier look for the ring - particularly for specialities. Here's a picture:

Office style suits will just look weird, and mad bling in crazy colours is definitely out. I am thinking a sports jacket and open necked shirt rather than a matchy matchy suit with a tie but I think the pants probably need to be mid-grey. Don't know how easy it would be to match a sports jacket to grey pants.

The dogs are:

Black and white parti-colour

Black masked cream

Grey grizzle - can't have charcoal behind this dog

Black irish tri

So black is out, white also out. Camels and light tans won't look too good behind the cream dog tho' they'd work for the others. As I mention above, lurid neon colours and out there styles are definitely no go. I am thinking that an understated corporate goth look might be OK tho' I'm not sure how you'd pull that off without black pants.

Fire away please fashion police!!

Like this look but "bone" pants, navy blazer. Can have an open neck shirt or tie can be added. With a pair of smart "boat" style shoes in dark brown?.

A guy in QLD with B/C's usually wears this combination and the overall presentation is immaculate.

Hi,

I was going to suggest Navy or Khaki in green not taupe. There are plenty of nice sports jackets that come with a fine pin stripe, it wont distract from the dog but looks classy. With Navy you could have lemon, mauve or even pale pink shirts. If this is for a Speciality and an O/S judge definately a tie should be worn. Also shoes that match the trousers looks smarter ie black shoes with Navy, Tan shoes with Khaki, Brown shoes with brown etc. Have fun shopping. Cheers
