Another DB Monday. . .

Continuing the status quo here at Classic Style. Just another obnoxiously overdressed Monday in other words.

Besides the items pictured, attire for the day includes a dark charcoal single-breasted wool overcoat with a herringbone pattern plus my old gray plaid wool scarf. Still cold in the mornings before sunrise when I leave home, but temperatures are predicted to reach the low 60s Faherenheit by afternoon. Spring has sprung it seems.

Of course, yours truly is still reading books and watching Youtube videos on classic cross-country skiing technique plus working on balance exercises!

If I had my druthers, of course I'd still be on the trails skiing, but sadly our season seems over here in Mid-Michigan with no snow left anywhere save for a few small dirty piles here and there. Amazing how quickly it melts once the weather changes.

Those lucky so-and-so's who live in Western Colorado and the mountains in Washington State enjoy skiing seasons that lasts into May I hear. Imagine six months with skiable snow on the ground. I swoon at the thought.

The Problem of "Business Casual" Attire. . .

This is how it's done. Business Casual the RIGHT way, ladies and gentlemen. Even during the summer months. A photograph (taken by Studio B Portraits ) which appeared in 425 Business Magazine in May 2017. T his post on the problem of business casual dress began as a quick postscript to a previous blog entry last week but quickly grew and grew as additional thoughts occurred, were developed in more detail, and revisions made. So much so, that it seemed, eventually, like a better idea to make the initial P.S. afterthought into its own entry . Are ya ready, Freddy? Then, here we go. . . ------------ U nless you actually plan to sell beach snacks and trinkets on Cozumel, become a serial barista, or greet customers at a fancy nightclub after taking out huge student loans to attend university somewhere for four or five years, plus an MBA afterward, it's really a better idea to err on the side of (somewhat) more formal work at...

Friday on Campus Style. . .

S omewhat atypically, I was on campus for several hours today helping with an interview that is part of a larger documentary project on which a colleague and I are working. Although I am behind the camera (I'm the audio guy in fact), what better reason does one need to dress presentably? Exactly. Everything worn, barring the recently purchased University of Wisconsin socks, a gift from the Grand Duchess, has been in the rotation for a while now. And, of course, there was the Panama hat, which I'll wear until we pass October 1st when the felt fedoras reappear. -- Heinz-Ulrich

Tan Suit Tuesday. . .

W hile it's now after Labor Day here in the U.S,. we still have almost three weeks left of summer according to the calendar. And since today was bright, sunny, and pleasantly warm (though far from hot), it seemed like a perfect opportunity to trot out my tan cotton suit and tan loafers/belt. Slightly disheveled, yes. And the shoes need some Renovateur to moisten 'em up But not a bad overall look if I might be so bold. -- Heinz-Ulrich
