Standard, gray three-piece Brooks Brothers suit, a very spread cutaway collar shirt from Paul Stuart, and a Brooks Brothers tie. The the lapel pin I got online from J. Press. I have a lot of skull and crossbones stuff. If I’m not wearing a skull and crossbones tie or socks, I’m wearing the pin or something else. I always have some on.
I’m usually trying to look as gentlemanly as possible–tie, suit, sport coat. I always try to wear a pocket square. You look more pulled together and it makes the jacket look more fun. Casually, I dress pretty preppy. Not extremely. Always a button-down shirt though. If I am wearing shorts, I go wild. I have all colors, ones with bumblebees.
What do you do for fun?
