Hi. I know herringbone tweed is an uncommon topic, but I really want to try the vest and patterned oxford shirt look. My three questions are can you wear different colored plain trousers, dress pants or do the pattern and color of the trousers absolutely need to match? It’s casual but I’m aware gentlemen’s dress code is much more strict compared to plain formal. Thank you!

On Tuesday, March 3rd from 10AM to 11AM, we're bringing in the man himself — Sven Raphael Schneider, founder of Gentleman's Gazette - for a private, no-BS live Q&A. No fashion fluff. No influencer nonsense. Just one of the most respected voices in classic men's style, answering your questions directly. Here's what we're getting into: - The real rules of timeless style - how to look sharp in actual life, not just a photoshoot. - The small details (fit, fabric, proportion, restraint) that instantly signal taste and authority. - The classic style traps that make good guys look like they're wearing a costume. - How to build a wardrobe where everything actually works together. - When to honor tradition — and when to break it with intention. - And Sven's philosophy on why how you dress is a form of respect — for yourself and everyone in the room. If you want that quiet, effortless "this guy clearly knows what he's doing" energy - this is the call! ✅ Premium & VIP members: You're already in. See you there! 👀 Free members: This is your sign.

Decided to elevate today! Blue dress shirt under a Brooks Brothers camel lambswool sweater vest. A beautiful paisley, madder silk tie from Brooks Brothers. A tweed sports coat and brown corduroy trousers on top of some brown suede loafers. Feeling good!

I picked up this sweater at Duluth this weekend. At one of the very few (only?) outlet stores that they have. $90 retail, got it for $32. I get some great deals there - it's roughly an hour from my house. I coupled it with jeans, magnanni boots, and a Bulova marine star watch.

Back to back meetings with all three today I stuck to a simple combo: 1995 MTM true blue herringbone suit CT tattersall with red Deep red silk polka dot pocket square Deep red Celtic silk tie Byford OTC socks in navy 1982 Alden shell cordovan tassels Caravelle Bulova watch Now if I can only remember the punchline 😏
