Otherwise know as cleaning style. Dental cleaning that is. I dressed thusly for a routine visit to the dentist this morning with a few other errands on the way home afterwards. No necktie today given the risk of spraying rinse or other substances as one lies there in the reclined chair like a large mouthed bass in the bottom of a fishing boat.
Now, there must be a reason the gray herringbone tweed jacket is as classic as it is. Without a doubt, the easiest item to pair with other things almost without a thought. As I have mentioned before this particular model from J. Press has become my go-to sports jacket for cooler weather . It quite literally works with anything else in my wardrobe, casual or dressy.
If there were only three main garments to include in a starter wardrobe, I'd suggest a gray herringbone tweed jacket, a navy blazer, and a solid charcoal suit. Impossible to go wrong with these hanging in your closet. Well, except for maybe square-toed shoes. But that's another ball of wax entirely.

Agreed on all counts, Heinz-Ulrich. Coincidentally, I am wearing a similar gray herringbone Harris Tweed sport coat from J. Press today. However, since I am in the office, rather than at a dental appointment, I am wearing a tie.
