Friday = casual? Not today! Client VC, ownership in-person, vendor meetings, and x-rays to be taken. I enjoy the hectic days WHEN I feel like they are advancing projects and people and not pushing other priorities to the side. Happy Friday, everyone! PS, the last line in the outfit description is why I love using AI to assemble outfits. Having outfit pieces that are never worn is a waste. • Suit — SJ-014, SL-023 (Enzo Tovare): A navy Enzo Tovare matched suit in Super 150s wool, cut with rope and padded shoulders, notched lapels, and a single-breasted 2-button closure. The lightweight worsted fabric offers breathability for spring while projecting true business-formal authority—ideal for a client video conference and P3's partner in-person visit. The slight sheen adds sophistication without being ostentatious, and the fully tailored fit ensures clean lines throughout. • Shirt — DS-043 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A CT slim-fit spread-collar French-cuff dress shirt in sky blue non-iron herringbone weave cotton. High opacity with moderately soft hand and excellent stitch density, featuring mother-of-pearl-style buttons. The spread collar frames neckties elegantly, while the French cuffs elevate the formality to board-meeting ready—perfect for today's multi-meeting demands. • Undershirt — US-003 (Pro Club): A heavyweight white cotton crew neck undershirt providing excellent coverage beneath the high-opacity dress shirt. The solid medium-to-heavy drape ensures no show-through while adding breathable comfort throughout a demanding day of appointments and meetings. • Tie — NT-011 (Nordstrom): A lavender silk tie with cream tiny squares pattern, 3-fold construction with untipped finish and keeper loop. The soft pastel tones create elegant contrast against the navy suit while maintaining business-classic sophistication. Tied in a clean Half-Windsor for balanced proportions with the spread collar. ⭐ Friday Rule selection—among the least worn items since 9/15/25. • Pocket Square — PS-020 (Mansphil): A plain light blue silk pocket square (9.5") that echoes the shirt's sky blue tones without being matchy-matchy. The solid color provides understated elegance against the navy jacket, following Gentleman's Gazette principles of coordination without replication. Presented in a puff fold for a touch of sprezzatura. ⭐ Friday Rule selection—unworn since 9/15/25.

I’m curious what you all think about men’s fashion in the 1920s? This thought was sparked by the show Peaky Blinders (and the new movie, which I have yet to watch). I know the wardrobe in the show is stylized to look “cool,” but it got me thinking about something. What caused men to stop dressing up? If you look at photos of men from roughly 1910–1940, there’s a noticeable difference. Suits, hats, structured clothing. It wasn’t just fashion; it was a sense of respect and presence. Today, that level of effort feels rare. My initial thought is that the decline in dress standards relates to major economic and cultural changes: the rise of more casual workplaces, evolving social norms, and shifting ideas about class and identity. However, I wonder if these reasons fully capture the change. Here’s what I’m really wondering: Is there a place for 1920s-style fashion today? Would wearing that level of dress (even casually, like to the grocery store) just come off as a costume now? Or is it only “strange” because no one does it anymore? So what I am wondering… What if a group of guys just decided to bring it back? Not as a gimmick, but as a standard. Dressing well not to stand out but to show respect for themselves and others. If people asked why, and the answer was simply: “Because I want to present myself with respect.” Do you think that could actually shift how people view men’s fashion over time? Or is that era gone for good? P.S. I am not knocking anyone's fashion in this group, and everyone is looking like a BOSS in their chosen style. And the people here who are learning every day, you are in the right spot. I have been checking in with RMRS for about 10 years now, and it has helped me tremendously.
