Made a mistake. Really wasn't interested in buying a black suit. Was looking for a Navy Double Breasted pinstripe or chalk stripe, for our cruise coming up in 2 weeks. I have a linen blend 2 piece suit, and a charcoal Brooks Brothers 2 piece I'll be wearing on our 2 elegant evenings in the Main Dining Room. Wanted a really sharp combination for the Steakhouse. They didn't have my size (buying off the rack and having it tailored) in Navy. They said they could order it, so I tried on the Black pinstripe double breasted. That was the mistake. I absolutely loved the look. So gangster aesthetic, and so me. Picked it up today and what an incredible look. The wife also picked up a nice ladies 2 piece suit and had it tailored too. I'll post some pics of both during our cruise. Along with some of our more casual outfits we'll be wearing.

I used my credit card company rewards program and saved up enough points to use toward a universal gift card, and I got myself an early Christmas present. Thursday: Chelsea Cavalier Mahogany. The color to me is more of a very dark brown, almost chocolate color was a little bit nervous about the color, but it's just the right amount of dark brown I wanted.

So I grabbed this at goodwill as I liked the design. Had to have the sleeves taken in a little but I don’t think it’s a good fit. I know being built like a hobbit doesn’t help. Any thoughts?

We're finally starting to feel a little coolness here, which got me thinking about what really gives an outfit that autumn feel. Is it the colours? Moving away from lighter shades and leaning towards more muted, earthy tones like burgundy, brown, olive, and charcoal? Or is it the textures? Knitwear, suede, heavier fabrics, and layering that make an outfit feel more suited to the season? Living here, we rarely get the kind of cold weather that calls for very heavy coats. A leather jacket, for instance, can easily work throughout the winter as well. But I think that's part of what makes fall so enjoyable when it comes to men's style. You get more room to experiment with textures, colours, and combinations without having to dress for extreme cold. Personally, fall has always been my favourite season for putting outfits together. There's just something about the overall look and feel of autumn dressing that I enjoy more than any other season. I'm curious, what makes an outfit feel like fall to you? Is it the colours, the fabrics, the layering, or perhaps a combination of all three?
