Fall style isn’t just about color - it’s about feel. When the temperature drops - you get to layer fabrics that bring texture to your outfit: flannel, tweed, corduroy, wool. These materials absorb light differently, creating visual depth that flat summer fabrics can’t match. A simple rule: Smooth + Rough = Balanced Look. Pair a flannel shirt with denim or a wool blazer with a crisp cotton shirt. That contrast is what makes your outfit look intentional. 👉 Do you stick to one texture or mix them for contrast? Share your take - or post a photo of how you’re layering textures this fall.

Well, I had to move "suit Wednesday" to tomorrow for "suit Thursday" because I just have too much physical work on my agenda today. Server moves, reclaiming old (and dirty, heavy, metal) equipment from our manufacturing area. So I shifted this morning to my Kuhl pants, a pink (or whatever color you want to call it) shirt for breast cancer awareness, and my steel toe Sketchers. Also wearing my new (old stock) Best Made Co wool cruiser as it was in the 40's when I left for work this morning. The early Best Made stuff is BIFL stuff - super high quality. Also stupid expensive. I got this at the Duluth outlet for a song when they were blowing out their NOS Best Made Co inventory after the original owner bought the company back from them. I got some real gems from them during this time frame that I'll share as I start breaking them out for Fall / Winter / Spring.

OK, so by introducing yourself you are guaranteed to get to level 2 - it's really that easy and I LOVE learning more about the cool people in this group. Feel free to share where you're from, why you're here, what you do for a living, and what you like about style. Are you a watch guy, suit guy, fragrance guy, or maybe just getting started? Have fun here!
