What do you think an appropriate time to wear a fragrance is? Definitely not at Mass because you don’t want to stand out

I bought an off white, very lightweight (no liner) blazer on a whim as I was looking for a pair of chinos. I thought it would be a good spring/summer wear as I knew I had 2 weddings coming up that were both going to be on the casual side. I tried it out last night and the min I walked in the door everyone was complimenting me on it. It was a hot evening too here in the Phoenix area as it was a backyard wedding celebration that started around 5pm. I didn't feel hot or sweaty at all. The photo makes my pants look black but it's actually navy. Blazer: Hugo Boss Polo: Collars and Co Pants: Chinos from Birdogs Shoes: Thursday boots

Today's Daily Style Stand-Up is what many might consider the epitome of classic, American style in a shirt: the OCBD. Today's item is inspired by my newest Criquet shirt - which happens to be part of today's OOTD - a 100% Pima cotton, pique knit, oxford button-down. It's not a traditional OCBD, but it fills the same spot in the closet... This is my first OCBD in well over a decade, for a couple of reasons - both of which are personal, negative connotations I have with this shirt. First, throughout various food-service jobs in high school and college, I was forced to wear an OCBD as part of my uniform. Since this shirt wasn't a staple in my wardrobe, I opted for the cheapest versions I could find. Obviously, this led to an undesirable experience. Second, throughout the 2000s - in this part of the country, at least - this style of shirt was most commonly worn by a particlar group of people with whom my impressions and experiences were less-than-desirable. As a result, I've never viewed this particular shirt in a positive light. This purchase is my attempt to slot it into my wardrobe and test whether it should become a larger part of it. So far, it's not bad. It'll probably never become a go-to piece for me, but it definitely has a slot available... As a reminder, there are only two rules: - Answer the three questions. - Human answers only. (No AI responses.) The second rule is because I believe the community is best served by reading what actual humans in this actual community actually think. And, yes, there are too many words in that sentence with actual as the root... The first rule is to keep things simple and easy to follow. Just answer the following three questions: - Is this item (perhaps in a different color or different fabric) already in my closet? - What is one way I would style this item with things currently in my closet? - What is one thing not currently in my closet I would buy to style with this item?
