The first day in a while that is mostly just a regular day. We're doing some key opinion leader interviews to get at the current and expected future trust for using AI in our field. Even this current AI leader is skeptical on automated processes. Basically, AI is a tool, not a replacement for humans. A more basic outfit today, though I used Friday rules to ensure a few items were from the least worn of my wardrobe items. • Shirt — DS-025 (Charles Tyrwhitt): A sky blue Classic Winchester poplin stripe dress shirt with crisp white stripes running vertically through the cotton weave. French cuffs and a 5.66" spread collar give it business-formal bones, while the slim cut maintains a modern silhouette—ideal for video calls and in-person meetings alike. The 2.5" collar stays keep everything sharp under a vest, and the light-to-moderate drape breathes well for a warm late-spring Friday. • Undershirt — US-008 (Pro Club): A tan heavy-weight cotton crew neck that disappears under the sky blue shirt without any show-through risk. The tan undertone warms the blue fabric slightly rather than washing it out with stark white. • Slacks — SL-017 (Bachrach): Dark brown virgin wool trousers with a subtle herringbone pattern, triple-pleated and cut in a classic American silhouette. Made in the USA with 3/4 lining and mid-rise comfort, they anchor the outfit in rich earth tones while the heavy wool drapes beautifully without appearing stiff. Perfect for grounding a brown-forward Friday ensemble. VWC-007 (Joseph Abboud): A khaki linen herringbone vest with dark brown secondary tones and a silver slide buckle at the rear. The polyester-lined single-breasted design features five buttons and slot pockets on both sides—slightly roomy at XL but comfortable for warm-weather business wear. • Tie — NT-028 (Fort Belvedere): A golden-brown two-tone silk knit tie in Fort Belvedere's signature crunchy Swiss Cri de la Soie mottled silk. At 2.5" wide with a square blade, it's deliberately casual leaning while maintaining executive polish. The knit texture creates subtle dimension against the smooth poplin shirt, and the brown-on-brown palette keeps the earth tones cohesive without being monotone.

With my friend Rosa, who with husband DJ Pablo hosts my favorite Salsa social here in Miami. Wearing a gray and white Loro Piana seersucker suit that I sourced on eBay for less than $250. It cost me another $100 to have it tailored to fit me but I’m really happy with the result. Wearing it with a Giorgio Armani linen shirt and Salvatore Ferragamo medium grey suede loafers. I’m wearing black Trafalgar silk suspenders with white pin-size polkadots under the jacket (the theme of the event was “stripes and polkadots”). The pink pocket square is from Hermès.

After being in Class A need a shower and change. Had to get stuff ready for next week I interviews and a chiropractor appointment after work. Charles Tyrwhitt sage linen shirt with rolled sleeves over Vertx dark wash jeans. Brown Anson belt with silver buckle and brown Justin boots. Monterey Kitty Hawk blue dial watch. Scent Reserve inspired by Green Irish Tweed which is close clone to the Misson Fragrance Courage worn earlier.
