For whatever the reason may be, the weather has been heating up over the past few days and I’m not complaining. As much as I love tweed and Christmas, I like feeling my fingers more. In regards to the outfit, today started with the gingham shirt and only went more blue from there. A lambswool…
In continuing with the Christmas countdown and subsequent holiday garb, I turned to my black watch sport shirt. Although it was missing from this year’s #blackwatchfriday outfit, it’s still a great piece and even greater for the holidays. Even though I opted for the dress shoes and black wool dress pants, I left out throwing…
Before I begin saying how great this outfit is and how perfect it is for the colder weather, let me start by saying that I am sorry for the midnight-hour-esque posting. Today was crazy and in a fall/year overshadowed by sad days, there was a huge bright spot today. And so with that thought it…
On this Saturday in November, where I spent most of the day down with a head cold, I finally decided to try and fight back. Although I’ve made my mark (at least on here) preaching contrast, the earth tones felt appropriate today. Even though the earthier tones are not my forte, sometimes we all need…
Whether cold or warm, summer or winter, one item remains seemingly impermeable to the changing seasons- the suit. Not counting shirting or neckwear, suiting remains constant in the different weather. Although there are plenty of options available for colder (tweed and heavy wool) and warmer (linen, cotton, etc.) climates, a 3-season wool suit will help…
As much as I like wearing ties and collared shirts, some days in life just feel a little more ordinary. Today was one of those ordinary days. Even though today had the ingredients of nice autumn day, there was an added ingredient that kept it all from happening- the wind. I’m no meteorologist, and to…
As much as I love thrifting, there is nothing quite like wearing new threads, which can only be rivaled by getting them for free! Before the rumors start, I did not make the trek to Canada and steal this shirt, I won it. With the help of one of my favorite ties, a tweed jacket,…
As chilly as the first 6 days of the week were, Saturday brought with it some warmer temperatures and sun. Even though the increased mercury doesn’t compare to the dog days of summer, or even September for that matter, the warmer weather is always nice. Plus, with it’s heavy chino construction, days like today are…
If you haven’t heard that I’m NYC bound, then you should follow me on Tumblr (shameless, I know). In all seriousness though, I will be spending the next 24 hours in the city that never sleeps and I can’t wait to hop on the bus! There could be some exciting things coming down the pipe…
As the weatherman predicted the Ocean State had its first glimpse of snow today. Even though it was only supposed to cover the morning commute, it ended up covering the majority of the morning and there’s even a dusting still left on the grass. With the early snowfall, it was time to layer again. As…
With the colder weather now becoming a consistent reality, I’d like to say that I’ve gone full time with the heavier neckwear, but I can’t. Unfortunately, I simply don’t have that many pieces to cover all of the days in the season. That being said, I decided to break out this York Street bow tie…
As much as I may harp on tweed and sport coats, nothing beats a suit. Although some may discard them as too stuffy, too uniform, or an act of submission to “the man,” suits are awesome. A properly tailored suit can do wonders for anyone and the best part is that it doesn’t take much…
As the weatherman predicted, the temperatures after Monday have been down- way down. In waking up and sitting on the deck, in my pj’s, drinking my coffee, I realized that it’s I’m going to have to change my morning routine. However, on the bright side, it is now (in my mind at least) officially scarf…
In an earlier post, I said that even though I picked up the green version, if the blue ever went on clearance, you could count it mine. And so, with some time to kill before the train took me home yesterday, I decided to check out the Copley Place Mall. Despite the fact that it’s…
