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.

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)
