In my opinion womens jordans , wearing a fine shell tassel from Alden is a great fit with suits and is only one step down from the "high business formal" approach of lace up shoes in either black or #8 burgundy shell. All in all-- a very classy look.just my $02 as well.Tom I grew a bit bored with b.d. collars a while back and quit buying many flowered corset tops , but I still have a range of BB OCBDs in the slimfit. No objection here to wearing them w/ most of my suits. FWIW satin corset dress clips , I like the idea of pairing a b.d. with the tassel loafer when wearing a basic 2p business suit such as a BB 1818 or an H-F Madison (to name two of my staples). The slight informality of the slip-on shoe and the slight informality of the b.d. collar & button-cuffed shirt go together well.
