Week 15 Wednesday. . .

Wasting a little bit of time between tasks this morning with a post on today's attire. Still nippy here in Mid-Michigan, hence the cords and lovely blue houndstooth tweed. The vintage necktie features Eustace Tilley, who will be familiar to readers of The New Yorker magazine.

We actually had a few hours of light snow yesterday (April 25th) although it melted almost as soon as it stopped during the afternoon. Today is sunny yet cool, so I felt safe wearing the suede brogues (with matching belt) one last time this academic year. Easily one of the most comfortable pairs of shoes in the rotation.

Classes for Spring 2023 conclude on Friday this week. While I have a few events on campus during May and very early June, I will transition to the usual more casual uniform just as soon as the weather cooperates and warms up a bit.

In the meantime, a long overdue post tomorrow from my sister in Washing, D.C. She will share one of her recent winning looks. She works from home 98% of the time, but sees fit to dress in line with leading various teams of one kind or another around the world. Stay tuned!

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
