It would be very easy on a Friday to mentally start the weekend a little early—to dress down, coast through the day, and tell myself that “good enough” is good enough. But one thing I’ve been thinking about quite a bit lately is how much I enjoy bringing intentionality into the ordinary parts of my life. Today that meant a soft pink shirt, light grey trousers, Margeaux patina shoes and belt, and my Panama for the trip in and out of the office. Nothing particularly formal. Nothing complicated. Just pieces I enjoy wearing, put together with a little thought. For me, dressing intentionally isn’t really about being dressed up. It’s about deciding how I want to show up before the day decides for me. I’ve found that same idea creeping into a lot of areas of my life—how I dress, how I care for my shoes and clothing, the little rituals I enjoy, how I spend my time, and even how I try to finish out a workweek. Friday doesn’t have to be a throwaway day. I can still enjoy it. I can still relax a little. I can still look forward to the weekend. But I also want to be fully present for the day I’m actually in. And apparently today, being present includes a Panama hat. 😎🎩 Happy Friday, gentlemen! 🎉

Good morning everyone. I wanted to ask this and if it’s repeating something that’s already posted I apologize. Have any of you ever like looked into what colors seem to naturally work best for you or do you pretty much just go with what attracts you when you’re picking out styles, fabrics and colors? Obviously there’s an economic. Obviously there’s a economic approach to it and when you’re doing most of your shopping at Goodwill, you certainly have to take what you can but I am just curious as to how many of you approach purchasing Clothing from a color or shade aspect. Thank you in advance for all your help.

Decided to work from today, (I tend to get more done at home at times), Plus I have some Society of Ordinary Gentleman business to get done as well as recording and editing to do for The Gentleman's Forum and The Gentlemen of Faith Podcast. I believe it's going to be a long day and night today. There are some great shows coming out soon, ones that I hope will encouragement to be the best version of gentlemen that they can be.
