I realize corduroy is the common fabric to use with tweed, but is it “ok” to mix tweeds (donegal pants with herringbone jacket)? I also realize you can have a tweed suit. I’m just trying to figure out if there’s a way to wear a slightly more formal sports coat with tweed pants than wearing a corduroy jacket? Or, does a navy blue corduroy jacket read formal enough due to the color?

Mine would probably be the 1930’s then 40’s then 50’s then early 1960’s and then again in the 1980’s in quality menswear like Ralph Lauren when there was an echo of the late 30’s through the early 50’s. How about you and why?

When the weather started cooling off I noticed a number of armpit stains when ironing my casual dress shirts. Now, I recently purchased a pack of v-neck undershirts last week. Also, I changed my deodorant and laundry detergent per y’all’s suggestions. Now, I can replace a few of the solid colored shirts, but some of the plaid shirts are not available to repurchase from DXL. Perhaps I need to wear more undershirts from now on?

Sometimes it’s not the jacket or the shoes that people notice - it’s the detail. - A sharp watch. - A clean bracelet. - The right pair of glasses. - Even a simple ring that tells a story. Accessories speak before you do - and the right one can change how people see you. 👉 Question: What’s the one accessory you get the most compliments on - and why do you think it stands out?

Gentlemen, I would appreciate some advice from those of you who have experience dressing well for evenings out in warm, tropical climates. As I continue working on building a more deliberate warm-weather wardrobe, I've been giving some thought to the differences between daytime and evening attire, particularly for dinners, lounges, restaurants, and nightlife. I spend a considerable amount of time in South America, where daytime temperatures are often in the mid-to-high 80s, evenings are generally cooler, and sudden, sometimes heavy rain is always a possibility. Coastal destinations can be considerably hotter and more humid, even after sunset. I've become increasingly interested in linen, lightweight cotton, and quality natural-fiber blends. White, cream, beige, and tan linen outfits can look fantastic, particularly during the day. But I'm wondering whether those lighter colors are equally practical for an evening out, especially when dealing with humidity, perspiration, wet surfaces, and unexpected rain. For those who regularly dress for warm-weather nightlife, do you find darker colors more practical or better suited to evening settings? I'm thinking of colors such as navy, charcoal, olive, chocolate brown, and black, while still maintaining the breathability of linen or other lightweight fabrics. I'm particularly interested in whether darker colors do a better job of concealing perspiration, rain spots, and the inevitable hazards of an evening out, or whether the difference is largely aesthetic. I would also welcome suggestions for specific combinations of shirts, trousers, and footwear that strike a good balance between looking sharp and staying comfortable. My goal isn't to dress formally for every occasion, but rather to develop a mature, relaxed, well-put-together style that works just as well for a nice dinner as it does for an evening enjoying the local nightlife. I would be interested to hear what has worked for you, especially from those with firsthand experience in tropical or consistently warm climates.
