Today's attire is an attempt to recycle a rather extravagantly patterned dress shirt for casual use. Tonight I take a drawing class, hence the jeans, and the boots are worn only because I've not worn them in a very long time. Enough attire to face a day of heat and humidity, certainly.

Cufflinks - cheap no-name brand

So I guess it's best to stay away from wearing a tie for a few days cause of extreme heat and humidity? Do you like wearing ties when it's hot or when it's cooler?

I do not like wearing ties when it is very hot and/or humid. If the weather cools off by Thursday, perhaps I will wear a tie then.

Great sunglasses. Very North by Northwest.

Thanks - Warby Parker frames and prescription lenses, and yes, very mid-century modern.

Have any of you ever considered just how much more dashing Cary Grant would have looked in a pair of Randolph Engineering Aviators? There Aviator II design would be just the ticket!

Maybe, but now that those glasses are so iconically part of the Cary Grant "North By Northwest" lore, I can't picture him wearing anything but them, in that suit, on that train and facing Eva Maria Saint.

I think it might be a touch cooler but still humid, a chance of thunderstorms could pop up late in the day.

Straw-colored Silk & Linen shorts - double-pleated (Thank you, Sten Ekberg, for tutoring us in Keto/OMAD, thus getting us back into our timeless, investment-quality clothing - at such a timely moment, considering fashion's recent return to its senses). Royal blue Chaps polo. Natural-colored woven rope belt - Polo Black Label. Chocolate Alden Car Shoes, with black no-show socks. White Carrera aviator sunglasses. (worn to office, City Hall, construction sites...)

@upr_crust , I would never have thought of pairing jeans with cuff links, but - as usual - you do it well.

Thank you, Italianstyle. The experiment was more to use otherwise under-utilized dress shirts than to blaze a new fashion trail, but I am glad that the results met with some approval.

After three days of casual attire (yesterday's being so casual I chose not to pollute visual posterity by photographing the results), the weather has broken (a bit) and I've opted to get one more wearing out of my seersucker suit before it makes its way to the dry cleaners.

Taking advantage of another relatively mild day, and having recently dragged today's suit out of hibernation, I am opting for three pieces in linen for today. This is the first time that I've ever worn today's tie - a vintage Hermes that, up until today, I'd never seemed to figure out how or when to wear, but with today's suit and shirt, it seems to go well.

Paraphrasing the late, great, arguably iconic Mr Wilson from the old Dennis The Menace TV series, "Great Scott upr_crust, you wear that rig incredibly well"...a great look for sure! The hat and shades are the perfect accessories. As you go through today, you will quite literally own the streets.

Looking good with the green ties, Crusty.

Sir,
Once again you’ve put it all together quite nicely.

Another mild, sunny day here in NYC - the last for a while, so, taking advantage of the weather, I've suited up again. I've not worn today's tie in a very long time, but it seems to give the right amount of kick to the rest of the outfit.
