These are fantastic! I like the idea of a shirt that looks complete without additional neckware altogether, I hadn't considered that. Lemaire is out of my budget, but you've given me something new to look for.
(I had the same stolen valor thought)

Sure, I'll give it a try! Are you suggesting a silk scarf under the shirt collar like a tie? Or with the shirt open? I tried a silk ascot for a wedding recently and that worked for that wedding, tho a little flamboyant for me

I had only perceived those as being decidedly western, but a quick search found some that aren't so obviously so

Historically no, but now that you mention it I'll reconsider

Oh that's interesting. This is just a bit of play to see what options I could turn to when a tie is normally called for, so I'll look into that

When you say venture into collars, what do you mean by that?

I liked the idea of something even simpler than a tie while maintaining formality. For casual summer I have bandanas ready to go

I appreciate your perspective, it's nice to hear that others have come from the same place and got to where I want to go. I did some experimenting and put on a youtube video that I knew would make me laugh, and the result looked more genuine to me than when I just tell myself to smile, and I liked looking at a picture that felt better to take.

A great smile and great fits! I also think it's nice to be smiling, maybe I can make it as simple as that without overthinking it

It's nice to know change is possible. I do tend to have resting moody stare off into the middle distance face, but want to be a more avid smiler

How do I take care of leather dress shoes in a snowy, salty environment?
My dad wore galoshes 30 some years ago, and besides seeing them for sale online I don't think I've seen any in the wild since. Seems like a good solution

Mostly recently I had two pairs of Norse Projects aros shorts wear through the seat in two summers. I can be somewhat hard on clothes, but I'm not a particularly aggressive sitter – have never had shorts fail that quickly

Thanks for the thoughts. I cold wash light/medium and hang dry everything unless it has more particular instructions, and with that method I've had some items last barely two seasons while some last two decades. I'm hoping to find pants with fabric/construction with some more built in durability to start
