White bucks. Not sure why, but I am feeling them.
A linen suit. Haven't found a good one yet, but I am on the prowl. Probably blue.
A few pairs of chinos - khaki as well as a few other colors (thinking stone and slate grey to start).
White jeans. I have never had the guts to pull the trigger on these for the past two years. Maybe now?

Dunno. Thinking Navy - certainly not darker. I want to wear it for business, but still have a summer look if that makes sense. I have a dark khaki cotton suit I wear in a business setting and a grey striped seersucker that I don't so much.

I noticed in Tom Ford S/S 2011 - almost every look features a small silk necktie...

thoughts on this?!?

Love TF but I don't have the balls to pull that off.

Looks like Napoleon Dynamite.

It's an odd look and most certainly not in my must-haves for ss 11.

A linen suit or just pants to match my linen coats.
