Store Display Disaster: Cut off sleeves with this wonderful pattern, plus jet-black shorts that look like a kilt? Yes, please!

RED FLAG. THE REDDEST FLAG.

I said I wanted this, and sure enough I snagged it. I feel like madras in vintage cars is a good look.

Blue ribbon on these details. I’m not the biggest fan of the colorful watch strap fad, but those colors with that shirt and blazer. Wonderful.

Prince always gets a blue ribbon. He’s Prince. Duh.

I like pretty much everything that’s going on right here.

Herringbone jacket, gingham shirt, knit tie (great fabrics that go great together). It all looks great, but for me, I like the personal details the most.

Blue ribbon. I could see myself wearing this - and HAVE worn this precise blazer / shirt combo - though the wrist jewelry is a little much for me.

Another blue ribbon. This is a fit I often find myself wearing in Florida during the spring, when the days are hot and the nights are cool. The boots and sleeves are what make this a winner.

File this combo away for when fall/winter comes around again.

Here it is, our first red flag. Please note - red flags are of personal opinion. While this look may be “good” for some people, my point is that it’s not by any means a comfortable look. The shirt and jacket alone would be pushing it… the vest, tie, and pocket square are just far too much eye-catching in the wrong way.

Discretely taking WAYWT pictures while at the gf’s. Head to toe: Brooks, polo (belt), rugby, florsheim imperial shell
Shoes and belt are brown, not sure why they look black. iPhone camera…

Blue ribbon. A perfect outfit for a hot day.

I have probably posted this before, but this is my work uniform more or less, except my boss makes me wear socks… yeah I know right. I know it’s nothing special because all of the pieces are so common, but when you take a common office look and make it a casual go to it adds a little something to it.

Another example of a blue ribbon. Truth in simplicity, confidence in every piece.

To kick this off, an example of my ideal recipient of a blue ribbon - Marcello Mastroianni.

Blue ribbons may not always wear full suits. They may not always look traditional, or wear ties. But they always carry the look as a second skin.
