I've really started to fall in love with 3-piece suits. This John Varvatos 3-piece is so immaculate.

Today, I was recognized for five years of service at my school

While in Charleston this past week, I noticed something in two different stores - including Ben Silver - that I'd never seen before yet immediately drew my eye: a seersucker tuxedo (dinner) jacket. The Ben Silver version was in a solid, dark navy, while the M. Dumas version was in a solid black. This got me thinking about the possibilities. I don't have any sort of regular need for a tuxedo, but it would be nice to have one for the rare occasions it could come in handy. And a true, year-round tuxedo made from a breathable fabric? It kind of sounds like a winner. I already have a pair of navy, wool tuxedo trousers (long story) that fit me well. If I were to have made a three-piece, navy seersucker tuxedo suit along with either a dark burgundy or dark green tuxedo jacket - that would give me up to six different tuxedo combinations to wear. So, what do you think? If it wasn't about money or opportunity - would you wear a seersucker tuxedo?

Yesterday began along the Riverwalk in San Antonio and concluded beside the shoreline in Corpus Christi — two distinctly different settings connected by the same relaxed sense of summer style. I used the opportunity to capture a few moments that reflect how well linen complements a refined warm-weather wardrobe. Its lightweight texture is ideal for the Texas heat and coastal humidity, yet it still carries an effortless elegance when paired thoughtfully. Whether strolling through the city or enjoying the coast at sunset, linen remains one of the most versatile ways to stay comfortable while dressing with intention and style.

Heading to our community bandshell for some live classic rock. The feels like temp is 90 F. I recently acquired some new linen shorts that I’m combining with a linen shirt in the hope of staying cool. I broke out my trusty, but rarely worn Sebagos, for a sandwich effect with the shirt. I’m seeing some interesting takes on boat shoes online this year. I used to live in them from my teens through my 30s but put them in the back of the closet a decade+ ago. The question, are they making a comeback for stylish gentlemen?
