I'm buying a new white dress shirt soon and was wondering about undershirt collars: Crewneck or V-neck? Traditionally, we have all worn Crew-Neck shirts. However, I have been leaning more toward V-neck shirts whenever I buy a solid-color T-shirt. I think the difference is that these newer V-necks aren't cut down so low that you look like Patrick Swayze 😇 in the 80s & 90s. Do any of you gentlemen wear V-Neck undershirts?

Today is a Wednesday in the office, followed by a trip into the city this afternoon for a business meeting and a seminar with my son. It is also a warm August day, but I still chose to dress this way very intentionally. For me, getting dressed well is never just about clothes. It is about setting a standard for myself and then doing my best to live up to it. A dark suit, light blue shirt, tie, black shoes, and of course a hat to finish things off. Every piece was chosen on purpose because I believe how I present myself affects how I carry myself. The truth is, if I don’t take myself seriously, how can I expect others to? That doesn’t mean being stiff or self-important. It simply means respecting the moment, respecting the people I’m meeting with, and respecting myself enough to show up prepared in every sense of the word. That is part of intentionality for me. And it is also part of optimism. I get dressed this way because I believe the day matters. I believe the meeting matters. I believe the opportunity to keep learning matters. And I believe how we show up in life matters. What makes today even more meaningful is that I’ll be spending part of it with my son. One of the things I have always believed is that more is caught than taught. He has seen this his whole life — that taking care with how I dress, how I conduct myself, and how I approach my responsibilities is simply part of who I am. And now, seeing him naturally carry himself in a similar way is a reminder that example is a powerful teacher. That encourages me. Because in the end, being intentional is not about perfection. It is about consistency. It is about standards. And it is about showing up — day after day — as the man I want to be. Wishing you all a Wonderful Wednesday!!

My new everyday glasses arrived on Friday, I am thinking I probably could have waited and picked both pairs at once Oh, well. So on Sunday I wore the new glasses to church today. The glasses are round thin tortoiseshell frames. My outfit today started with a blue linen band collar shirt, tan linen trousers, my madras jacket, blue straw fedora and my Italian spectators. The picture was taken after service during our lunch out.
