Go and thrift yourself a pair of black shoes!

lol I got a pair of black captoes! Just thought the brown would’ve worked with the blues. Guess black was the better of the two

Yeah, that suit screams black oxfords to me!

I usually eschew orange and yellow ties. But after seeing an excellent combination by @upr_crust, I ordered this tie. At first, I didn't see much use for it. Then, I realized that online teaching in the evenings requires more contrast between jacket and tie. Now, I enjoy pairing it with a mid-blue or light-navy suit for remote teaching under the moonlight.

This is the first time that I’ve worn this piqué shirt from the good people at Harvie & Hudson.

Ok, Spring. I’ll keep wearing flannel.

Back in Somerset. Yesterday was sunshine so I decided to dress for Spring today, which is of course overcast and grey.

Softer, semi-casual fabrics today. I love wearing cotton trousers although I wish they looked as good as they feel.

Like a few of my jackets I had this one tailored over the winter and enjoying the fit now.

The tie is new from Hilditch and Key's ever expanding and never ending eBay sale. I was looking more at my knitted ties for this ensemble but tried this one and it made me happy.

One for the loafer haters.

The weather in NYC is partly sunny, but cool today, with highs of only about 13C/56F this afternoon. I am meeting a friend for a drink directly after work this evening, and decided to opt for a winter weight suit, and a hat, in lieu of a lighter weight suit, and a coat of some variety. As it is, today's suit is one of my favorites, so I am giving it one last wearing before the weather becomes too warm to wear it comfortably - probably too grand for the drinks venue to which we're going this evening, but being overdressed is not one of my fears.

Tie - Brooks Brothers
Cufflinks - The Persian Shop, NYC

The temperature here in Chicago is an autumnal 40 F/4.44 C, so I took a cue from An Acute Style and donned a flannel suit.

The unusual onyx cuff links are by Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Comany, and we’re a gift from my dear wife. The bean shape is a signature design by Peretti and resembles the “Cloud Gate” sculpture in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

Return of the tweed.

Amazingly lush fabric.

I am copying some outfits from my pre-covid travels during this harsh lockdown in China. Today, I am teaching online in this ensemble, but I am sharing an old and less boring picture of the combo. This ensemble is a special one, as I wore it the day I met Deirdre McCloskey, one of the top economists globally. I don't agree with all she writes but I learned a lot from her book "The Rhetoric of Economics". I also respect tremendously her courage to transition late in life. I am glad the profession embraced her. The economics profession is far from perfect but it almost unanimously supported her since her transition in the mid-1990s. I also recommend her book "Crossing: A Memoir''.

I have the same cufflinks in silver, a gift from my wife that I wore on our wedding day.
