While technically this is the first Sunday of Fall, and the temperatures have decreased from 106 to 80, it is still a couple of weeks from that crisp feel we are longing for. Consequently I went a bit transitional with a lighter blue slightly heavier wool Robert Talbot sport coat. The brown windowpane pattern lent itself to adding the hand me down brown MTM trousers from my father. To keep things a bit brighter I went with a white on white CT herringbone shirt and a cream with brown and blue pocket square. To tie in the trousers I chose a RL ancient madder silk paisley tie, Panterella socks, Martin Dingman bridle loafers and my 1940’s Ernst Borel watch. Loving these 70 degree mornings and evenings.

It should be fair to say that most men have favorite accessories that might even be considered part of our “signature” style. Here are my top three favorite style accessories: 1. Neckerchiefs: I LOVE to wear a neckerchief or ascot and have as many of those as I do pocket squares. I feel as though it can add a little pop to an otherwise normal casual outfit. 2. Signet rings: A signet ring is also part of my daily accessories, and it’s very rare that I leave the house without wearing one. They’re also subtle but add just the right amount of extra to the outfit. 3. Watch: Even though it is usually a smartwatch (see my other post) I rarely leave the house without a watch on. Tell me what are your signature accessories?

Our granddaughter was at her confirmation camp which was organized on a beautiful island out in the Finnish archipelago. We 4 grandparents had the opportunity to visit the camp and get to know the activities. It was sunny weather and 30 C° hot.
