Transitioning…
It’s getting to be that time of year; when those of us who love style start to think about flannels, cashmeres and tweeds.
It’s not quite that time yet though, so don’t jump the gun.
Ease into the change of season by slowly introducing some heavier fabrics in small quantities, like a wool tie, or some wool/cashmere socks.
Thanks for reading.
Yours in style,
SB

I mean, isn’t your site (and GQ) pretty much eye candy for classy women anyway? Love a man in a tailored suit. Thank you for being dapper.

Damn, your ballin as a student. Are you a trust fund kid like every fashion student out there?
Whats happening Dan……Still waiting on that wasitcoat post..
Hey Chase. It’s in the queue. Stay tuned. Thx
Thanks so much man. I just have no idea where to buy or how to buy. Your the Man.
I almost always wear brown shoes with a navy suit. One of the exceptions being when the tie I’m wearing has some black in it — then I go with the black shoes.
Nice. Spoken like a true Stylish Engineer.
Damn those loafers are tight. You have a great shoe collection.
nice outfit, very clean.
Serious loafers
Another great post. Thanks!!
Hey SB,
If you sweat a lot what can you do when wearing light colors like light blue and your in a warm room where you need to take of your jacket. I usually have sweat marks and I feel uncomfortable?
Thanks
Try wearing on undershirt, it will soak up the sweat before it hits your shirt. If you are already wearing one and sweating through it, invest in some lighter weight shirts and some better deodorant with antiperspirant. You can also carrying a cold water bottle with you and drink it to cool down when you are feeling hot.
Most people are at their hottest during their commute to the office – so try keeping your jacket and tie off and keep a couple shirt buttons open so your neck/chest can breathe on your march to work. Once you get to your cool office, grab a cold juice or iced coffee and button up once you are in a refreshed state.
Also, as I’ve recommended before, it’s always a good idea to keep a fresh, laundered shirt and an extra stick of deodorant in your office.
Hope this helps!
Hey if you wear a light blue collar shirt, how could you hide sweat marks from under the armpits… I usually take my jacket off inside and theres always sweat marks. Thanks
See above. Thanks for reading.
In addition, light blue shirts show sweat marks the most, so if you really have a problem with this, avoid wearing light blues, pinks and purples – stick to white-based fabrics (solid white, whites with subtle stripes, etc).
great post as usual SB…
are you still going to make video’s?
Yes!
Hey Dan,
Nice way to pull the socks and tie in together. Do you typically wear black shoes and navy suits? The mix is starting to grow on me.
It’s kinda hard to say what I “typically” wear because it varies from one day to the next. On a cloudy, overcast day I like black shoes with navy trousers…but it probably has alot to do with how I’m feeling while I’m getting dressed to be honest. Black and brown each have their advantages. I think the quality and the shape of the shoe are more important than the color. I was just doing an interview about this, and they asked “what is the first thing you notice about someone’s outfit?” – shapes and silhouettes.
If I wanted to measure my leg opening if a pair of my pants, how would one go about doing that?
Lay them down flat. Measure from one side to the other across the leg opening. Multiply by 2. This gives circumference.
I’m noticing a lot I of sock showing, is that on purpose? And what is a good rule of thumb for pants length these days?
Thanks, Mike
In the last picture, I pulled my pants up a little to show the socks. By traditional standards, socks shouldn’t show while standing (maybe a little while walking briskly), although with some of my more cropped pants, they do. There are no “rules”. Thanks for reading.
what size leg opening do you tailor your pants to?
15 3/4 “. Thanks for reading.
