What I Wore

Well, I didn't wear this today but the idea was given to me from Mr. Porter, a new website as a high end shopping website for men. It's outfitted with Burberry, Gucci, Ralph Lauren, John Lobb, Paul Smith and more. It offers style advice, style icons and more. It's a place that offers alot of what a very good blog does in terms of content but will also sell you the items. It's self promoting in the sense they'll place the products under the answer like the question below. They offered what high end items they had underneath the answer.

Question
My friends dress very casually and it would be odd to wear a jacket and tie when I see them, but I cannot bring myself to go out for dinner in a T-shirt and hooded sweater. Is there a halfway house?
Answer
Yes: slim chinos, desert boots, a colourful belt (either woven or in canvas), a button-down shirt, a fitted cotton jacket, and perhaps a knitted tie. It will be smart enough to set you apart, but casual enough for you not to feel odd.

This is what I came up with.

DKNY navy striped three button sports coat
Club Room navy cashmere v neck sweater
Banana Republic long sleeve brown plaid woven
Ralph Lauren chocolate brown knit tie
Ralph Lauren navy and white striped nautical nylon belt
J. Crew classic fit chinos (actually J. Crew's slimmer cut)
Banana Republic gray and brown argyle socks
Clark's Desert Boots




















What would you name/title a men's style blog?
