Saturday! I gotta go get Moar coffee, so I chose the Brooks Bros Brownish Corduroy Trousers and the Ralph Lauren Pinkish OCBD. The Tie is an Angelo Rossi I got from my Big Necked Banker Friend, who decided he can’t wear ties anymore. Neck’s too big. The Shacket is my other Woolrich, this one probably from the 90’s. I’ve had this one a long time and recently spent a few hours picking foxtails out of it, because I used it to roll around on the ground under the truck. Then I took it to the cleaners and they found a perfect match for one of its missing buttons. Black Belt and the Shoes are Vivobarefoot Gobi III Desert Boots.

This is my plan for work wear (elevated casual, minimalist). I am required to be in the office every Tuesday. Khakhi wool chino, brown belt, and brown shoes (bi-toned cap-toe Derby) are the VARIABLES. Tan leather strapped watch is a CONSTANT. MAY 2026. 1. Light blue shirt for week 1, khakhi chinos, brown belt, brown shoes. (I did not have the algorithm in the first week, so let's assume I did this in theory). 2. Violet shirt for week 2, replace khakhi chinos in #1 with ivory chinos. 3. Burgundy shirt for week 3, replace khakhi chinos in #1 with blue dress pants. 4. Grey shirt for week 4, replace khakhi chinos in #1 with grey dress pants. 5. Royal blue shirt for a possible week 5, replace khakhi chinos in #1 with black dress pants (only in this case, swap the brown belt with a black one and the brown shoes with black ones). 6. Increment the order of the shirt by one so that for the next month, #1 shirt (light blue) swaps #2 (violet shirt) and so on and #5 shirt swaps #1 shirt. This takes care of JUNE. NO REPETITION. 7. Continue with the swapping logic in #6 which takes care of JULY. NO REPETITION. 8. Continue with the swapping logic in #7 which takes care of AUG. NO REPETITION. 9. Continue with the swapping logic in #8 which takes care of SEP. NO REPETITION. I am attaching the collage of the planned outfit with khakhi chinos. Please excuse me as I am not wearing shoes in this experiment (just too lazy to do it at home). I am attaching a different image of my shoes (with my blue dress pants) to make sense. I am also attaching three images where I have swapped the khakhi chinos with formal pants. Since 5 shirts each can pair with 5 pants each, the resulting 25 outfits take care of 5 months of office visit for me. As always appreciate your thoughts/feedback.
