@James Milson Thanks, James! With the summer Florida heat fast approaching I'm searching for some linen pants to go with my linen shirts.

@Julio Gutierrez Thanks, Julio! I love argyle.

@Srini A Thanks, Srini!

@James Milson Thanks, James! I'm also starting to wear my pants at my natural waist instead of my hips, at least the ones that I can without them being too short. I was afraid that I would have to tighten my belt so much to keep them up there that it would be uncomfortable, but not so far.

@Justin Tillery Thanks, Justin!

@Julio Gutierrez Thanks, Julio!

My style has definitely evolved over the years. My teens and twenties saw me wearing jeans and graphic tees or flannel shirts, at least when I wasn't wearing my Navy uniform. In my thirties and forties I leveled up to short-sleeve button-ups or polo shirts with my jeans. I occasionally wore chinos as well, and long sleeve button-ups or cable-knit sweaters during cold Nebraska winters. My fifties were a decade of backsliding, we moved back to Florida and I fell into the habit of wearing comfortable cargo shorts/pants and oversize graphic tees or polo shirts worn untucked to hide my expanding midsection. When I hit 60, I looked around at guys my age or older and realized that I looked the same as most every retired guy in Florida. That sparked some introspection and the realization that I could, and should, do better. Since that time I have completely revamped my wardrobe, choosing chinos, dress slacks, properly fitted long-sleeve button-downs and polo shirts for a more classic smart casual look. I also started acquiring more classicly stylish shoes like leather loafers, monkstraps and boat shoes to replace the sneakers and canvas Skechers I had been wearing. I also inherited several watches, growing that into a larger collection.

I have a couple of short-sleeve shirts, but I prefer the roll-up look. If it gets really hot, the linen shirts come out.
