Cocktail Attire
Do you think a navy cashmere sweater with a white obdc and either grey or brown trousers would qualify as cocktail attire?
If no, would a corduroy blazer be out of place this time of year? I also have a brown camel hair blazer and grey wool.

Help with cold weather head coverings
I will be traveling from a warm weather climate to a cold weather climate at the end of December. I have this beanie: https://www.patagonia.com/product/brodeo-cuffed-beanie/29206.html?dwvar_29206_color=NENA but I don't love the way it fits - mostly I think it makes my head look big. I would like something to cover my ears, that's my primary warmth target area. Any advice?

Loafer alternatives
So I’ve got quite flat feet and I do not get enough support from a loafer, even with a custom insert. Plus, because of the lack of support, my ankles tend to pronate which I suspect will end up hurting the structure of the shoe. So, is there an aesthetic alternative to a loafer? Is the answer a derby shoe?

What is the accurate way to describe pants of this design?

And besides RL, can anyone recommend other brands that execute it well? Ideally I’d like to spend $50-100 and purchase them secondhand

Allen Edmonds shoe decision
I’ve had a great pair of AE boots for many years and recently had them sent away for a second recrafting. I received a message today that they could not recraft to their standards and are offering the following:
We’d like to offer you one pair of current Allen Edmonds calfskin shoes,(cordovan styles do not apply to this offer) with the full retail price not to exceed $495.
I have a thought to get a pair of loafers, which I do not own and never have, or to pick a newer version of a boot, probably brown.
I wanted to garner opinions about the pros and cons of loafers over boots and also specific styles of each that would be considered classic and multi use; meaning shoes that can be dressed up or down with chinos and jeans respectively.
Thx

Unstructured sports coat opinions
I’ve never had to wear sports coats before but I’m interested in having a couple in my wardrobe. I’d prefer second hand and reasonably priced ($50-75) and I’m not too familiar with brands outside of what most people know, like j crew and brooks brothers. After a preliminary search, here are some interesting items I found and I was hoping that people might offer their thoughts about price and quality. Thanks!
In order J.Crew cotton linen blend $60, Brooks Brothers 100% cotton $60, PRL $75, Brooks Brothers Cotton Linen blend $38

Jason Segel’s wardrobe in the show “Shrinking”
I think I’ve found a style that actually inspires me. Turns out this is true for many guys, see article, but I was looking for some help to better understand what the costume designer is actually saying and if anyone would be willing to help guide me. I’d prefer to go used/eBay rather than new and to be frugal. I haven’t decided on a budget and I’m getting the impression that pieces will be pricey so I am thinking that taking a slow build approach will be best.

Opinions on Air Max 90s
Is there anything egregiously wrong or unstylish with these shoes? I was given some advice by my podiatrist to find a shoe with a higher heel than front and I don’t want anything orthopedic looking. I’m open to NB as well but didn’t see anything that caught my eye.
I’d also love recommendations for color ways and I’d be happy to go the custom route. My preference would be versatility (I’d like to wear them with grey, navy, or khaki chinos and also potentially jeans or shorts)

Aid making a choice between cardigans
Outside of the Madewell garment being double the cost of the J.Crew cardigan and the difference in materials - Madewell has some wool - is there any reason to pick Madewell over J.Crew here?
