Just to keep with the solid tie theme, since I discussed yesterday navy w green thought I would demonstrate. With the green accent in the microdot in the shirt it’s a bit more coordinated (less inspired) than harmonized but the two colors harmonize well irrespectively. • navy HSM blazer • CT microdot navy and green shirt • CT green grenadine silk tie • navy w green pocket square • steel blue trousers • Pantherella blue socks • shell cordovan Alden tassels (1982) • Weneger fooled watch w navy and green nato band

For today’s office, I paired a light linen sport coat with navy trousers, a patterned blue dress shirt, and dark brown penny loafers to keep things cool in the South Texas heat while still looking polished. I finished the outfit with a coordinating pocket square and a clean, understated watch because it’s the small details that separate a good outfit from a memorable one. To me, dressing well isn’t about following trends—it’s about presenting yourself with confidence, professionalism, and respect for the people you’re meeting.

Before moving to South Texas, I used to think espadrilles were something you ordered with a Margarita. Then I started planning my Cancun trip, bought a pair, and suddenly understood the assignment. Turns out linen shirts without espadrilles are like tacos without salsa—they’ll work, but something important is missing. Consider me officially converted… now excuse me while I practice looking effortlessly resort-ready. 😎🌴

And that means jeans. But, I have a new flat cap and new (to me) shirt to go with them.
