And just like that, we approach the mid-point of the year. I’ve cared for and put away my flannels and tweeds for the season, and look to fabrics better suited for warm weather. This month’s What I Wore post will feature a few new pieces that I’m excited to share. May is always a great …
Good Afternoon Mr. Colin, I am a 33 year old male that will be starting professional school in August. I have spent the last 5 years working in agricultural research, a career that, at my level at least does not have a strong emphasis on dress. We have a Hawaiian shirt Friday in the office …
April is a tricky month. You get glimpses of spring, and usually at least one harsh reminder that winter isn’t quite ready to release you from its hold. This past month was no exception. As we start to get warmer weather, it’s an opportunity to cram in the last few wears of the heavier fabrics …

I almost didn’t wait until the end of the month to post this. There were a lot of outfits I wore in February that I was pretty pleased with and wanted to review. Maybe in March I will start doing this twice a month. Though it may be a longer post this time, it will …
This might be my favourite pocket square. It was easy to find four combinations that I liked it in. If you want some more pocket square inspiration, here’s another post like this.
