OOTD-CW - 26 February 2026

It's going to get too warm for winter today - as high as 80. Boo! I will try to add photos later - the Skool.com website is giving me horrid trouble with this whole post. Rebooted, checked internet... it's not on my side.

Today's Outfit

Dress Shirt — DS‑042 (Charles Tyrwhitt Cotton‑Linen Prince of Wales): This mid‑blue cotton‑linen Prince of Wales shirt brings crisp texture and visual refinement while staying breathable for a warm 75°F day. The classic point collar and subtle check pattern provide a polished backdrop for a navy silk tie and cream linen vest.

Undershirt — US‑022 (Sene MTM White Pima Cotton): This made‑to‑measure Peruvian Pima cotton undershirt sits invisibly beneath the dress shirt, offering exceptional softness and breathability. It keeps the torso cool and structured without adding bulk or interfering with the shirt’s silhouette.

Vest — VWC‑004 (Perry Ellis Linen Herringbone in Cream/Bone): A cream linen herringbone vest adds lightness and refinement, breaking up the blue tones of the shirt and trousers with warm contrast. The textured weave and tailored shape elevate the look while remaining perfectly appropriate for warm‑weather business settings.

Trousers — SL‑012 (Peter Millar Italian Blue Wool): These Italian Blue wool trousers provide excellent drape and a refined, professional line that anchors the lower half of the outfit. Their light wool construction keeps them comfortable in warm temperatures and harmonizes perfectly with the blue POW shirt above.

Tie — NT‑024 (Fort Belvedere, Crunchy Swiss Cri de la Soie, Blue Mottled Silk): This Fort Belvedere Cri de la Soie tie brings a uniquely textured, lightly crunchy silk that catches light differently at each angle, giving the blue a deep, almost water‑like dimensionality. Its square blade and mottled weave add quiet visual interest without breaking business formality, making it the perfect elevated choice for a warm‑weather vest outfit where texture matters more than sheen.

Belt — B‑009 (Nordstrom Dark Brown Leather with Silver Buckle): This dark brown leather belt provides clean, professional structure and pairs flawlessly with the brown leather footwear. Its silver buckle maintains visual consistency with the collar clip and wristwatch metals.

Footwear — DSh‑008 (Thursday Boots “Saint” Double Monks, Cinnamon Brown): These cinnamon‑brown double monk straps inject personality into the outfit while staying safely within business‑appropriate territory. Their sleek silhouette and warm shade complement the cream vest and blue trousers exceptionally well.

Socks — DSo‑073 (Fort Belvedere Brown with Bright Blue Shadow Stripe, OTC): Over‑the‑calf cotton socks in brown with a refined blue shadow stripe ensure color cohesion between the shoes and trousers. Their full length maintains a clean visual line, especially important for in‑person meetings when seated.

Pocket Square — PS‑010 (Charles Tyrwhitt Solid White Cotton): A solid white cotton square in a Presidential fold lends sharp geometry and understated sophistication to the vest’s chest pocket. Its simplicity balances the patterned shirt and textured tie, ensuring the outfit remains focused and elegant.

Watch — W‑006 (Fossil Townsman, Light Brown Leather): The Fossil Townsman adds traditional analog elegance with a brown leather strap that echoes the belt and shoes.

Ring — R‑001 (Platinum Wedding Band): The platinum wedding band adds a personal and elegant touch to the ensemble. Its neutral sheen pairs seamlessly with the outfit’s other metallic elements.

Business Card Case — BCC‑002 (Fort Belvedere Brown Bison Leather): This brown bison leather card case introduces subtle texture and a rich, earthy tone aligned with the brown leather footwear. It reinforces the day’s brown‑blue harmony while providing a refined professional detail.

Fragrance — FR‑003 (Roberto Ugolini “Oxford”): Oxford delivers a clean, refined woody‑aromatic profile that is perfect for warm‑weather business environments. It projects quiet confidence and professionalism without overpowering in close‑contact settings such as medical appointments.
