OOTD-CW - 12 February 2026
Critiques Welcome! A pretty routine day here with just a few internal meetings. It's why I allowed the system to reselect the same blazer as earlier in the week. I'm a few days behind on entering my outfits into my database so when it selects outfits for me, it can't fully use the rule regarding no using the same visible item within 5 days of the last wear. The Outfit (my AI wardrobe tool is writing these now, so it may be a bit flowery): - Jacket: Brown Ralph Lauren tweed odd jacket (cashmere/wool blend) with light tan suede elbow patches, medium weight, structured shoulders. - Shirt: Nordstrom “Smartcare” dress shirt in a cloudy white with a subtle blue dobby diamond texture; point collar, barrel cuffs. - Trousers: Tan wool–elastane slacks from Santorelli with a very faint medium‑brown check; tailored to a clean, comfortable fit. - Tie: Hugo Boss silk tie in cobalt blue with a medium‑scale square pattern and small dot details in black, light blue, and white. - Pocket Square: Charles Tyrwhitt silk/wool pocket square with a medallion pattern in light blue, navy, and brown – puff fold to keep it soft and casual. - Shoes: Dark brown suede Chelsea boots from Cobbler Union (Goodyear welt, almond toe). - Socks: Tan dress socks from Ralph Lauren Polo (under the calf ;-( ). - Belt: Dark brown leather belt with a simple silver‑tone buckle. - Accessories: Platinum‑tone collar clip to tighten up the tie knot under the point collar Montblanc 146 fountain pen in the jacket pocket Wedding ring Apple Watch on one wrist, Fossil dress watch with a brown leather strap on the other for a mix of tech + classic. - Fragrance: Montblanc Legend – light, office‑friendly aromatic fougère.
