When you look at yourself in the mirror ... When you choose an item of clothing to wear in the morning ... When you choose an item of clothing to buy from a shop or an online store ... What are you hoping to achieve? Do you want to look like you fit in with what you perceive 'your type of person' to be? Do you want to stand out from others who are 'your type of person'? Do you want to look strong and dependable? Artistic and sensitive? Mature and wise? Sexy and attractive 'in that way'? What is your 'goal' beyond keeping warm and not being arrested for indecency?

Gentlemen, here are a few standout posts from the RMRS community this week. 👏 Big shoutout to @Jonathon Shane Crawford for kicking off a fantastic discussion on "Dining etiquette" — a topic that sparked 150 replies from members sharing their takes on modern table manners, hosting guests, and restaurant conduct. A great reminder that style extends beyond the wardrobe.

The intentional outfit planning and honest commentary on what he wore (and why) is exactly the kind of OOTD post that inspires the whole community.

Post: https://www.skool.com/rmrs/ootd-monday-june-29th Keep those outfit posts, thoughtful discussions, and personal style stories coming, gentlemen!

The little lapel pin says five years excellence in service. It is a present from the school district for my service. You can also spot the okeefe inspired flower painting I did behind me which I think makes for a nice background.

Watching the World Cup matches and between them the commentators come on. Nice suit, matching tie, and blaring white court sneakers. Not an open collar and unbuttoned sport coat, a nice suit with matching tie. Am I being too critical or does this look doofy? Yeah, they are supposed to be hip, edgy, cool. I think they look like idiots, and I discount everything they're saying. Too critical? Blast away. Let's talk about it.

The interplay of textures is what elevates this ensemble from attractive to exceptional: the airy weave of the natural linen trousers and the linen/silk/wool jacket provides effortless sophistication, while the finely ribbed navy knit polo introduces depth and refinement without competing for attention. Rich navy anchors the warm palette with quiet confidence, allowing the soft ivory linens, cognac leather loafers and belt, crisp white pocket square, and gold timepiece to create a harmonious progression of complementary tones that feels both timeless and distinctly Texan. The contrast between relaxed summer fabrics and polished accessories strikes a masterful balance, conveying an ease that is never careless and an elegance that is never overstated.
