Mixing tweed
I realize corduroy is the common fabric to use with tweed, but is it “ok” to mix tweeds (donegal pants with herringbone jacket)? I also realize you can have a tweed suit. I’m just trying to figure out if there’s a way to wear a slightly more formal sports coat with tweed pants than wearing a corduroy jacket? Or, does a navy blue corduroy jacket read formal enough due to the color?

Shirt fabrics
I have a hard time getting button down shirts to fit properly. I’ve been through 3 remakes on a linen short sleeve button down with Hockerty and I still don’t like it. I have polos from them that I do like. Does anyone have any fabric suggestions that might help based on this info? I’m looking at cotton flannel shirts, oxford or twill for the winter. But I’ve also been looking at long sleeve polos. I’m just not sure about the usefulness of long sleeve polos in the business casual environment I’m likely going to be working in 2 yrs from now. I’d be pairing the shirts with tweed pants and I have corduroy sports coats.

@Antonio Cent thank you

@Antonio Cent Hockerty has solid color flannels and you can get button down collars on them, so that’s probably what I’ll do.

Try my new AI Style Audit — free, and I need your feedback 🙏
Built a free AI Style Audit tool this week. Upload a photo of your outfit, it grades your fit, color, and formality in about 15 seconds — like having a tailor look you over. Check it out: https://style-audit-production.up.railway.app/ Would love for a few of you to run your own fit through it and drop a comment here: - Did the grade feel accurate? - Anything confusing or clunky? - What would make you actually use this again? Rough edges are expected — that's what this post is for. Fire away 👊

75/100. Called my shirt purple (it’s navy). Said my shorts are a bit loose around waist (maybe just a hair?) I’d say it’s pretty accurate so far. Obviously this is a casual outfit and graded as such.

Knowing the dress code and ignoring it
Hi Gents, If the unwritten dress code is super relax gym like attire but it's not a gym setting, do you ignore it and bring your outfit up a few notches to the casual level and dress how you want or dress like everyone else? What would you do?

Step it up a notch. I’m getting comments from guys at my fire station just by wearing chinos and a polo with matching leathers. I got a lot of comments from extended family last week while on vacation and was told I was the best dressed (again just by using Antonio’s guidelines). People notice

Wide leg pants?
I’m a little confused about the RMRS post about wide leg pants being “in style.” Antonio frequently writes about “proper fitting” clothes, and yet there’s this post about wide leg pants now. I’m 51 so I’m not pursuing that look, but it seems like there’s a lack of consistency there with that article.

@Brian McGuire yes that’s it. I understand your points. My point is that if “proper fitting” pants are not having more than an inch of fabric you can pinch up next to your leg then it seems having defined cuff opening sizes is irrelevant. To follow the “proper size” idea would be to just be able to pinch the right amount of fabric, otherwise you’re getting into “trend” territory. My 7” opening may be just as proper as someone’s 9” depending on lower leg size. Obviously all of this is an opinion; all of it. But, 9” would look pretty terrible on me.
