Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed.

I quite liked this segment, perhaps one of the best yet! Nice! Just as fashion styles change, I find myself more open to mixing it up when done with a thoughtful style approach as Austin well articulates such as what previously would be rejected such as sneakers/ trainers with tailored outfits. Ball caps though? Naw! Much prefer a cool ivy, trilby or even a beautiful Panama. Just classier. Next we'll be considering the dreadful ball cap on backwards or reversed and dumbed-down fedora look. Just lazy and never looks hip. Chris kills me; his interrogation of Austin is humorous as if he's the fashion barrister demanding proof. One note on suit jacket separates, agree it can work but one must be mindful of the slacks' fabric. And would love a future conversation on wearing or pairing linens "out of season." Chris commented once it's a modern construct to put them away after summer. I like that.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the segment and Austin's insights on mixing styles. We'll definitely consider discussing linens "out of season" in a future video!

The "baseball cap with tailoring" thing I see everywhere now so it's having its moment, why not? It'll be hated in 5 years but it'll be fun while it lasts

Chris, at 5:15 when you discuss suit separates, what is your opinion and advice on the (Italian) spezzato tradition of breaking up two- and three-piece suits made from the same cloth in different colors? I have a number of identically styled 2-button notch-lapel two-piece MTM suits, all in the same midweight worsted fabric (with the most subtle of hatched variations), in the full spectrum of greys from black through charcoal and midtones to a light dove grey, plus a charcoal brown. With sufficient contrast between jacket and trousers, can I mix and match these stylishly as separates? If I have similar suits in cavalry twill, does your same advice hold? Thank you for the benefit of your expertise. I enjoyed this video. Respect and regards, Christian

Thanks for question. As your suits are same cloth but different shades they might not have enough contrast. But cavalry twill is a great cloth for separates as it is often used for odd trousers. And as for the “Italian tradition”…it is not something I have encountered in my numerous trips to Florence, Milan, Como etc over the last 20+ years. I have been known to add a vest from another suit but generally I will mix suits with blazers and odd trousers rather than other suits.

Agreed

Lovely episode ❤

I can’t find anywhere that sells grey flannel dress pants here in New Zealand, I can only find grey cotton dress pants and worsted wool suit pants. Buying flannel pants online from overseas is really expensive to the point it’s like 3 times the price of dress pants located domestically. Can I wear medium grey worsted wool suit trousers as odd trousers with a sports jacket?

Yes. Oftentimes people will buy more than one pair of trousers with their suits so they can wear them both with blazers and because they will wear at a different pace than the jacket. Pants are easy to separate out.

That’s a shame. Look for plain weave, hopsack or tropical worsted suit trousers or something with a milled finish.

Trainers only work with separates. Trainers don’t work with suits imo. You’re dressing down something that shouldn’t be dressed down.

Thanks for your message but we enjoy wearing suits casually. The right sneakers look great with an unstructured summer suit. But agree I am more likely to do this with a summer blazer.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

In my opinion a baseball cap should be without a big logo or text if wearing it with a blazer. The style and material of the cap should complement the rest of the outfit. Think wool, cashmere or linen. A standard cotton cap with a logo looks cheesy with a blazer. I use Varsity wool caps myself sometimes with a blazer.

Sounds great 👍

I generally don’t wear sneakers but they do have a purpose. However, they are not proper with a suit. Dress sneakers are an oxymoron. They are the Frankenstein of men shoes. I don’t like baseball caps and hate seeing people in restaurants wearing them. The only place baseball caps are proper is at a baseball game.

Sneakers or baseball caps with tailoring looks ridiculous and juvenile. Just don’t
