My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to Fort Lauderdale in May. What outfits should a man pack for that type of atmosphere/vibe? Obviously, I would bring beach clothes/swimsuit during the day, but what about outfits for going out to eat and going out for drinks? I would plan on bringing...

So, first off, hello! First post. A bit about me: I am a graphic designer that's ignored clothes for most of my life, and am now starting to pay attention. A clothing n00b regarding myself, but am sensitive to how others appear. I would somehow rather we were all nudists (perhaps oddly, not a...

Gentlemen, I enjoy reading these forums and am hoping for some help. I'm 29 and still haven't found what I like in terms of casual summer wear, when not working. I've mostly worn t shirts and polos (I dislike both, to be honest). Sometimes I wear them with jeans, sometimes with shorts, but...

getting married July 2018 in Vermont theme is rustic, barn setting colors are blush (bridesmaids) and blue (me, groomsmen) i am perusing ebay for high-end suits with a solid return policy and have come across the following that pique my interest - would love some insight: Belvest 120's Wool...

hey guys, so i have basically decided to do a navy suit but haven't much thought about the details: brand fabric groomsmen situation etc. not sure where to start - probably can do a search here. anything else i should know before i start my research/search for the suit? thanks!

Hats beat umbrellas as far as I am concerned. I know there are tweedy wool rain hats, and and floppy sloppy bucket/fishing caps, but what other options are there for headgear when it is both wet and warm out? Specifically, something in that business casual grey area between truly casual and...

Hi all, I have lived in warmer climates all my life and am wondering your opinions on the best cottons weaves for summer shirting. I am looking for the best (cotton) weave to meet the following criteria: 1. Breathability 2. Absorbency 3. Lightness Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! My...

Hello, I'm looking for sources/suggestions for summer sport coats to wear with odd trousers or khakis. I like the look of the Haspel and O'Connell poplin suits, but they seem only to be available as suits, not sportcoats. I'm also not sure if they'd look OK with khakis--maybe in some of the...

Hi all, I am going to a wedding in February. It's in Australia, so it will be hot, and the ceremony, and probably part of the reception, will be held outside. I am not part of the bridal party, but the bride is my partner's sister (my partner will be the maid of honour) and so I will probably...

I live in Austin TX. I'm a Realtor. We have 60+ days of 100+ degree summer heat and I'm out and about a lot in the heat. Austin is a laid back, casual city where shorts and sockless shoes, t-stirts, etc. are common both because of the heat and because people here tend to dress in a more relaxed...

I have decided to start up a thread devoted to the sarong. I find sarongs to be beautiful and alluring accessories. Sarongs and pareos are simple yet sophisticated. They are a must have when I sunbathe. We all know that bikinis are not always ideal, yet with a sarong wrapped around me I can...

I don't post much here, but I like to stop by and read occasionally and plan to spend more time on the forum in general. I have a few different questions regarding shoes and am hoping you all can help. 1) Uncomfortable shoes - I have a pair of AE Bergland (I think, similar to Park Aves but w/o...

One of my favorite parts of winter (late fall/early spring) is Harris tweed. I love my tweed jackets: the feel and look of the fabric, of course, but especially the fact that with only two, grey and brown, I can wear them with and over anything (just about) and look great. What's better, they...

How tradly are these locations: Chatham MA, Marblehead MA, Isleborough ME, North Haven ME, Seal Harbor ME, Block Island RI, Fisher Island NY, and Mill Neck NY? These are world famous places so they are somewhat lacking on the obscurity scale.

I'm trying to update my wardrobe (moving from pure casual to decent semi-casual). I'm looking to invest in a 1 or 2 good summer sorts coats, or suits that can be worn as separates as well. (My wife is dubious of the whole idea and so since I rarely go anywhere that justifies wearing a suit, I...

Hello all -- Anyone happen to know which fabric would make a more comfortable summer suit, assuming lining and all other factors are equal? 1) 60% wool, 35% mohair, 5% silk or 2) 85% wool, 15% mohair I am inclined to say #1 due to the higher mohair content, but I'm not sure what...

I would like to purchase a good quality Panama Hat or perhaps another summer hat, can you recommend a few good manufacturers under £200?

I've been considering a poplin suit, but both BB and Haspel are 45% poly. I have 2 seersucker suits (1 Bank and 1 Haspel, I think the Haspel fits a little better than the Bank) and 2 cotton suits, but the cotton suits are prone to wrinkling, especially if I'm sitting a lot. I think my CT...
