Here’s the custom suit I had made during my time in Shanghai. After taking on everyone’s advice from last week, I decided to go with a wool suit instead of linen and I’m genuinely glad I did. I went with a few notable customisations: high-rise trousers with braces, side adjusters, and a slightly longer length that gives what I think is a full break. I’m finding I actually prefer this look, especially paired with my monk-strap shoes. For the lining, I chose a dark paisley. In hindsight, a dark blue paisley might have complemented the subtle blue undertone in the grey fabric even better, but I still think the current choice has plenty of character. I also opted for grey buttons, though I may swap them out for darker grey or black at some point. I’ll live with them for a bit and see how they settle into the overall look. Overall, I’m really happy with how it turned out and appreciated all the feedback that helped guide the final decisions.

I have always loved my light grey suit, however I bought it three years ago and it's starting to wear and it doesn't really fit me any more. So I have decided to buy a new one in Shanghai. Suits are so cheap here I can literally buy one a week, but I have decided to restrict myself to one every two months. So I have had it in my head that I will go to the tailors tomorrow and buy a light grey wool suit. HOWEVER I was looking at suits on instagram, at one of the tailor shops in Bangkok that I have been to and I saw a picture of a really cool grey chambray linen suit. I will add below a photo of me in my original grey suit which was taken about three years ago and a few images of the chambray suit, off instagram. The photos are not the best but you get the idea. Both of the images of the chambray suit are the same colour, which is grey. I think I am looking for everyone's opinion on linen suits. As I can't remember ever actually seeing one in real life. Does anyone here own one? What's your opinion of a chambray linen suit? I understand it wrinkles and it's more casual but that's fine. Your vote and any feedback is appreciated, thanks.

I'm sitting here in the airport thinking about the whole process of getting to the gate and interactions that I've had while here. I believe that I was treated better during check-in and TSA that others and I think it was because of how I am dressed. Just another reason to dress like a gentleman.

I want to get your honest thoughts on what men think about women’s style and clothing choices. (There are no right or wrong) With that said, when you think about what a woman is wearing, what makes an outfit appealing or appropriate in different situations — like at work, a night out, or just casually? I’d love to hear not just what you think, but why. For me, what I choose reflects me personally and how I’m feeling that day. Of course, for a special event like a wedding I am dressed for the occasion but with my own personality reflected. Do you think women should dress more for themselves, for comfort, or to meet others’ expectations? Why? I can tell you that I never dress for someone else’s expectations. I know a lot of you post you OOTD, or other days like church or some other reason. No woman has posted an OOTD yet. I might start….but I would like to know how men perceive what women wear. Please share your thoughts. As a Woman I would love the male perspective and input.

I've shared this article from The Art of Manliness a few times when someone has brought up the use, symbolism, and best rings for each finger. I have a few I wear on occasion, but hope to expand upon it in the time ahead (I'm incredibly picky when it comes to rings... and, well, most fashion). What about you gents? Aside from wedding rings, have you ventured into ring land, maybe with a certain blue hedgehog, and tried rings on different fingers? What are your favorites?
