The weather in NYC is mostly sunny and temperate today, and I have two errands this afternoon, both of which necessitate a more casual approach to today's attire. The first is a casual lunch with an old work colleague of mine, and the second is a booster shot of Moderna, which requires a short sleeved shirt. Attempting to make a virtue out of a necessity, today's attire . .

Jacket - Saks Fifth Avenue house brand
Shirt, trousers, pocket square, and shoes - Brooks Brothers
Cap - Paul Stuart

The weather in NYC is nigh unto perfect this afternoon - sunny, mild, with a light breeze. After several months of wintry attire, I've opted for something more casual and more seasonally appropriate, albeit in an uncharacteristically monochromatic combo (for me, at least).

Later this afternoon, I should viewing the newest exhibit at the Met Museum, the Costume Institute's latest installation, without the celebrities and the press present last Monday evening.

What a beautiful sport coat!

The weather in NYC is lightly raining today, with cooler temperatures than yesterday. For my afternoon's entertainment, I am visiting the TEFAF fine arts fair at the Park Avenue Armory - my first exposure to this art fair, as it's normally held in Maastricht, the Netherlands. As it's a lot cheaper for me to take the Madison Avenue bus than a flight to Amsterdam, then a train to Maastricht, I am opting for the former.

I have chosen to look as if I might be able to afford some of the goods for sale (a well-crafted false impression), but with some adjustment for the temperature and the rain - a lightweight flannel suit, and today's shoes have Dainite soles.

Included in today's photos are a few "lifestyle" shots from yesterday's foray to the Met Museum, to see the Costume Institute's latest exhibition.

I love to wear gemstone jewelry like an alexandrite ring on the middle finger of my right hand.

The weather in NYC is partly cloudy, but mild - a pleasant but not ideal spring day.

The theme for today's attire, rather by accident, is "square" - after assembling today's attire this morning, I noted that there is a definite theme of right-angled, rectilinear forms in almost all of the chosen items for today's attire, even down to the hatch grain of my shoes. Well, square is as square wears, I guess.

Suit - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt - Hilditch & Key
Tie - Brooks Brothers
Cufflinks - Saks Fifth Avenue
Braces - Lewin
Pocket square - no brand name
Shoes - Gaziano & Girling

The weather is again partly sunny and mild, and I am playing museum docent this afternoon at the Met Museum for an out of town visitor, so I am channeling my inner professor, sartorially, if not also from an art historical perspective.

Sports jacket - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt & trousers - Brooks Brothers
Tie - no name brand, bought at deep discount
Pocket square - Harvie & Hudson, London
Shoes - Crockett & Jones, model name Malton

Included are a couple of "lifestyle" shots from after last night's dinner, with some iconic NYC sights in the background.

I am wearing jumpsuits and I feel really comfortable in it

I am wearing jumpsuits and I feel really comfortable in it

Welcome to AAAC. A long time ago in a world far, far away I used to quite enjoy wearing flight suits (Nomex military versions of "jumpsuits."). They were convenient, comfortable and the Nomex material kept us from bursting into flames at inopportune times! I wish such jumpsuit designs would catch on more in the civilian sector.

The weather in NYC is a mix of clouds and sun, and is slightly cooler than yesterday. My duties for the afternoon will be the escorting of an out-of-town visitor around the Museum of Modern Art - apparently, my services yesterday at the Met were sufficient such that the visitor trusts that my presence will enhance his experience at the Modern as well.

To face the end of the week, and to brighten an otherwise rather overcast day, I've opted for a tie just a millimeter off from vulgar in its coloring - I can use the visual jolt.

Suit - Ede & Ravenscroft
Shirt - Tyrwhitt
Tie - Charvet
Cufflinks - Deakin & Francis
Braces - Albert Thurston private label for Paul Stuart
Pocket square - Alain Figaret, Paris
Shoes - Florsheim Royal Imperial (Magnanni)

The weather in NYC today is mostly sunny, with comfortable temperatures and humidity (yesterday was very humid in contrast), such that I could not afford to miss the opportunity to suit up while the weather was fine.

Today's suit was next in rotation, certainly the most lightly constructed suit I own. With a plaid this bold, it was something of a challenge to find accessories to go with it, but I believe that I've met the assignment, at the very least.

Suit - Paul Stuart/Phineas Cole
Shirt - Brooks Brothers MTM
Tie - Thomas Pink
Cufflinks - The Art Gallery of Vancouver, BC
Braces - Lewin
Pocket square - Brooks Brothers
Shoes - Edward Green (my only pair of EG, a happy accident from a warehouse sale at Brooks Brothers the season that they discontinued Edward Green)

The weather in NYC is overcast, can cooler than average for this time of year, such that I can sneak in one last wearing of something autumnal/wintry without fear of heat prostration. One of the menswear website to which I habitually post is having a sartorial challenge, to integrate Chelsea/jodhpur/side zip boots into one's attire for the day, something I've not done in a long while, and this particular pair of boots hasn't seen the light of day in a very long time indeed, hence their feature today, in this ensemble of random chance elements.

Beautiful choices. I notice you don't wear watches. Why not? I can see you sporting a vintage Rolex...

You guys still have to wear masks? That sucks.

Looks good. And thanks for posting - I was considering buying a casual plaid shirt and wondered what it would look like under a solid summer jacket. This gives me a good idea!
