My work has a “no dress code” dress code. Do you think crochet polos are too see-thru for work?
Maybe not this exact one, but something like this: https://suitsupply.com/en-us/men/knitwear/purple-crochet-polo/SW2001.html

Is the gurkha pant trend long dead?
After gaining a bunch of weight, I’m trying to clear out my closet of old clothes that I have no chance of wearing and replacing them. Has the gurkha pant/wide waistband pant trend died, or is it worth replacing my one pair?

Am I paranoid for feeling odd about going sockless in wider-fit pants?
I switched out my Millenial-Fit chinos and casual pants (aka, anything that’s not a dress trouser) for relaxed-fit versions: nothing crazy wide or anything, just wide enough that my calves don’t look like they’re gonna flex through them at any moment. I’m not a fan of wide + cropped pants that were trendy for a while (a big reason why I clung to my Millenial-Fit pants for so long) — to me, a more relaxed fit needs a more generous break to balance things out.
The thing is, I live out near Palm Springs, which means it’s hot almost year round. I commonly skip socks with my loafers, but it feels weird that I’d have these longer, wider pants that cover my ankles. Is this just a bias I’m carrying over from the slim-fit, zero-break days?

Natalino
I've had them given to me as Spier & Mackay alternative, though not nearly as comprehensive. They're based in the UK, so I don't know if anyone else can vouch for quality or not.

As someone who doesn't wear a lot of technical-y clothing, is this shacket a little too "dad playing golf?"

EXTREMELY fussy black tie question RE: bow tie shapes
I've finally taken the plunge and purchased some opera pumps for my tuxedo. It seems that the only non-garish options for bows on them are grosgrain 'butterfly' (although I went for flat bows). I own a butterfly bow tie and a diamond one -- does that mean that I shouldn't wear my diamond bow tie with my pumps?
Note: I'm in the (slow!) process of putting together a completely-by-the-numbers black tie, and an informal/warm weather variant (eventually getting the ivory DJ, but I can't swing it yet)

Advice on casual, non-tailoring clothing ideas
I'm a big classic menswear kind of guy, which means I've kinda put all my skill points into tailoring. I feel like most of my outfits are too dressy for me to bum around town in, but the second I get out of my dress clothes, I turn into peak 'dad' -- Brooks Bros polos, chinos, Sambas, etc. I don't seem to be able to find clothes that I like that are casual and interesting (to me), and have just settled for boring, rumpled 'regular guy' clothes.
Is there somewhere to look for casual clothes that still have the same polish of tailoring, without the connotations?
