Here comes my poll of the day. Would you consider wearing all white dress at all? I know this is a thing among the ladies, but not sure about gentlemen.

I just made up this theory (🤣) after reading some of the comments in a different thread of mine. Yes, this has a parallel with the Darwinian theory of natural selection. This is what it is: you may have all types of clothing in different shades and hues, which fit you in different ways, and for different occasions. a. Let us say, you have a minimalist wardrobe. b. There are 4 shirts, 4 Polos, 2 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of Chinos, 2 fitting types for your pants (mid rise, high rise), 3 jackets, 3 pairs of footwear, and two belts. c. That is 8 upper wear, 4 lower wear, 2 bottom fitting patterns, 3 layering pieces, 3 pairs shoes, and 2 belts. d. The number of ways you can wear these combinations are 8 upper X 8 lower (4 X 2 fits) X 3 layering X 3 shoe pairs X 2 belts = 1152 e. Among these, only certain combinations would look good on you. May be 100 combinations at best (again, an optimistic estimate). f. The success rate of getting a nice attire out of your wardrobe is 100/1152, which is under 10% but statistically significant. If this was under 5%, your wardrobe needs an overhaul. If all the of the combinations rock on you, you are the next Antonio (😍). g. Getting this success rate cannot be by trial and error as no one has the time or inclination to try 1152 combinations. h. So, the best way to get dressed nicely is do some research, enroll in discussion groups like RMRS, and level up by an intentional selection! I may be very goofy with this theory, but I think it makes sense.

I find most of the videos by the so called Okey person to be very informative. I think he is pretty knowledgeable about suits and is a very skillful cloth designer. He runs a bespoke tailoring company. Since he predominantly talks about and sells suits, this information could be very useful to a lot of men in this community. https://askokey.com/shop/mtm. Let me know if this is the case. PS: Please. This is not a promotion of any kind. Just some sharing with like-minded people. Suits fascinate me although I don't wear (or own) them due to my lifestyle and a perennial tropical weather at my place.

Gents, do you think umbrella can be a fashionable item in the sun/rains? I ask because I can tell you that umbrellas are ubiquitous in Asian countries. Understandably, so. But, in the sun, it is a super cooling piece of your outfit. Now, being a guy with an experimental mindset, I have started using it regularly. Since umbrellas come with a UV protection layer underneath, they are as good as a sun shade when it comes to protection. And did I tell you that glasses only protect your eyes and not the face and neck which are equally sensitive. I also read somewhere that the notion of men not using umbrellas originated in the U.S. military. Is that right? Please share your thoughts around this as this forum is the prefect place to address the issue . So, this is my poll for the day: Would you consider swapping your sun glasses for an umbrella, given the benefits of the latter?
