3. Weekend Stroll
Keep it simple on the weekend and add some small old school touches like a textured jacket (hopsack is like tweed for the spring/summer), vintage braces and saddle shoes.
The best part is, the outfit gets even better when the rain hits.

Great post, and i like the look with the braces a lot; very chill and yet classy. Funny, cos i’m also planning to do a post on umbrellas on my blog in the future. Thanks for the added inspiration.

I don’t understand how vintage braces are “keeping it simple.” IMO, if you have belt loops, use them.
Thanks for reading and sharing your opinion Sidd.
Beltless look creates a fine illusion for your torso providing a slim silhouette for the whole outfit while belt adds a little bulk in to it.
The vintage braces is another way of “paying attention to the details” & it is much understandable for those who have style of their own.
We had snow on Friday.
Love the saddle shoes. I wore them in high school with argyle socks that my mother had knit for my father.

Just what I needed being here in the rainy U.K

Great umbrella. My sunglasses have been replaced with an umbrella since relocating to the pacific NW and I can attest to the importance of having an umbrella that doesn’t breakdown after a month of use. I opted for something completely lacking in style – black, collapse-able – but it was a function choice, it fits in my satchel. I’m going with some color when it comes time to replace it.
Great timely post. I once heard someone say that theres no such thing as “bad weather”. U only think of it as bad if ur not prepared for it.

Nice post as always Dan. Love the old school touches in #3.
When you go bespoke shirting, is there a specific collar width measurement or certain range you tend to always come back to? Or perhaps do you have a certain formula you’ve worked out depending on accompanying tie/suit lapel options?
In Romania is still raining like hell and us much us I like rain..now for the first time, I hate it. Maybe it.s just my mood. The colors of the umbrella fits very well with all the outfits (the business casual rocks). I always had a thing for white umbrellas. Good quote from your basketball coach, true.
