Catching up day now that the new laptop is up and running. Thankfully, it's an otherwise slow day in the office • Jacket — DOJ‑002 (John W. Nordstrom): A beige cashmere blazer with soft drape and full lining, offering warm‑weather breathability while remaining sharply tailored. Its muted neutral tone anchors the outfit and pairs effortlessly with blue trousers. • Shirt — DS‑009 (Nordstrom Smartcare): A white textured cotton dress shirt with a subtle diamond weave and strong structure. Breathable for a 73°F day and visually crisp under a light blazer. • Undershirt — US‑002 (Ralph Lauren Polo): White cotton crew‑neck undershirt with smooth drape and excellent all‑day comfort. Adds opacity and prevents wear on the outer shirt without adding heat. • Trousers — SL‑012 (Peter Millar): Italian Blue wool slacks with a clean, medium‑light drape and tailored silhouette. The color harmonizes perfectly with the beige blazer and keeps the look business‑smart but relaxed. • Tie — NT‑002 (Nprdstrom): Silk necktie with primary rep pattern in US format (to the right shoulder) and subtle shadow lines going to the UK side (left shoulder), • Pocket Square — PS‑017 (Fort Belvedere): Brown and blue paisley in wool‑silk, adding restrained visual interest while echoing both the jacket’s warmth and the trousers’ cool tones. Worn in a clean Presidential fold. • Belt — B‑011 (Hanks “The Esquire”): Havana‑brown leather with white edge stitching, delivering a robust yet elegant line. Perfectly matches tomorrow’s shoe selection and blends into the earth‑toned accessories palette. • Footwear — DSh‑007 (Allen Edmonds): Chocolate‑brown Goodyear‑welted cap‑toe Oxfords with a rich, classic profile. Highly comfortable for all‑day wear and well‑suited to a blazer‑and‑slacks ensemble. • Socks — DSo‑047 (Ralph Lauren): Brown/dark‑brown patterned dress socks with excellent stay‑up performance. Their tonal harmony with the belt and shoes completes the lower half cleanly. • Watch — W‑003 (Fossil Neutra Quartz): Stainless‑steel case with a dark‑brown leather band and clean dial. A versatile, unobtrusive dress‑casual watch ideal for internal‑day leadership presence.
