Basically when one looks like a British historian?

I went to a wedding recently and wore a brown tweed blazer, docker khakis, brown belt + shoes, blue button up, green sweater, purple tie (Catholic wedding), and a grey Boston scally cap

Looked better than most people in unfitting suits and got hit on by a few cute girls.

I work construction so I unfortunately don't get many chances a year to wear a blazer and tie, but I'm wondering what this style is?

Timeless.. timeless style is what its called anon.

Essentially trad. Wouldn't know it from /tip/, because /tip/ is horrible, but this is simply trad. British and American trad vary slightly but the basic elements are the same.
inb4 GG, it's a good place to start for basic info

Historic British gentleman style? Basically it's the stuff that the better class would have worn, especially the tweed coats for all their outdoor shooting, while the rest of it is peak formal/businesswear.

if you work in construction, why are you wearing this? you are literally larping and most girls and people are going to be put off by it when you tell them. not different from /tip/ fags who never even went to a private NE school or ivy.

As, like you said yourself, a British historian, or a basic /tip/ librarian/academic/professor. nothing about your life actually reflects that. You could have gone for more rugged formal wear to actually match who you are. Derbies / dress boots instead of brown dress boots. Or honestly just go with a typical well fitted suit which is pretty ubiquitous and has little connotations besides being what any man wears for formal events. As you said yourself, you will stand out because the other guys there were in ill fitting suits like most guys are, and in this case you wouldn't be larping either. pic unrelated

The Bergs and Steins really did a number on you
OP if you dress that way in your time off it looks great and garners more respect than whatever this faggot is jawing about. Your work is irrelevant. As it turns out you can do manual labor and enjoy reading and classical music in your free time.

There might be some buried in one of these. Probably not about modern aristocracy but traditional and historical going up to the mid/late 20th century

You will always be second-fiddle to people who actually work in what they love doing. Sure you can be a typical wagie that does a job like construction and goes home and has hobbies of reading or listening to classical music, but you will not compare to the effayness of an actual historian or professor who does both in his professional and personal life. the latter person intrinsically has more character than a mere hobbyist.

This is probably 90% of people. They get a typical job in an office or corporation they find bearable though they don't have any interest in it. Yes, the person who works a job they love doesn't even consider their job work at all, but most people can't find their true jobs in life. It's just life I guess, most people are mediocore and don't amount to anything really, including myself.

It's called "country clothing" and comes from the more casual and harder wearing garments used for hunting, riding, and generally living in the rural English countryside.

Actually pretty solid, and the jacket, shirt, and sweater all look like they fit you well. I would have tied a smaller knot on the tie (probably a half-windsor tied tightly so that you still get a triangle shape) and worn nicer shoes (color is fine, but they look like work boots). The pants you have work, but ideally they'd be a bit higher wasted, wouldn't have so many breaks at the ankle, and be slightly less tapered. A tailor can take care of the length by hemming them slightly higher, but I'd also consider just investing a a decent pair of wool trousers.

Really those are small criticisms and you're doing really well anon. Just offering some areas to look at if you care to; you're already doing better than 90%+ of people though so it is up to you.
