I recently picked up the pictured two pair of suede AE Strand Dress Sneakers at a thrift site, but I have not decided on how to style them. I typically keep dress shoes and sneakers as separate pieces but I thought these might be the best crossover shoes that I have seen and figured I would give the Frankenshoe shoe style a try. They are quite stunning to look at in-person. I was hoping to get some styling ideas from all the fashionable gentlemen on here :-). Also, should a get a suede belt to match? Or is that trying too hard 🤷‍♂️.

Which F? Feeling! I suppose that can technically come under Function, and I’m obviously just having a bit of fun. But today marks the first proper evening out on my Majorca holiday where I can get dressed up for a gorgeous oceanside restaurant and I feel incredible now my new summer wardrobe is truly in full swing! I know I look like a Charles Tyrwhitt store threw up on me, but hey, I love their stuff! Tonight I’m piecing together: - CT Linen slim fit collarless shirt with rolled sleeves - CT Linen navy shorts - Brown leather Anson belt - Brown leather strapped Vincero Chrono watch - Mahogany loafers from Thursdays (now broken in and comfier than ever!) - Straw trilby hat I’m looking forward to getting the rest of my summer wear in full swing over the week. Stay hydrated gents and I hope you’re all keeping well!!

It seems that style is shifting away from flat front pants, but honestly, I don’t know if pleats are the best look either… What do you think? I recently picked up a NWT Daniel Cremieux Signature series suit for $99 (originally. 2,000) at the local Dillards. It is made in Italy, super 170s wool, and it has pleats…

I'm watching the World Cup match featuring Mexico and South Korea, and keep finding myself cringing every time the South Korean head coach is shown. The problem (which shouldn't be a problem)? He's wearing a polo shirt with all the buttons buttoned... I don't know why, but I can't stand seeing a polo shirt with all the buttons buttoned. It's worse, to my eye, than a tailored jacket with all the buttons buttoned. I honestly have no idea why it bothers me so much, but it does. So, what say ye? What style choice - or choices - bother you that really shouldn't?
