Charles is the public figure who best upholds the tradition of the suit. His clothes fit, they have silhouette. The combo of jacket, shirt, tie and pocket square is both adventurous and harmonious, the bespoke shoes shine with quality. Note the lovely break on his trousers here.

The Pitti Uomo fair is a week away. If you keep your eyes open you will spot men who have an excellent feel for clothes.

A new slack jacket in green raw silk (bourette). I find it pairs well with a chambray shirt and Fresco trousers. The textures go together. Soft bespoke loafers on my feet.

Most people in suits stick to blue or grey, occasionally brown. I do it myself. However, for summer I feel you can enjoy more shades. In particular I like the sage green one. My attire from yesterday.

I’ve seen this claim a few times. Since the late 19th century, it was common in bourgeois circles, at least in Europe, for the man to also wear a wedding ring.
Men only started wearing wedding rings in the 1940s, to a broader point so much of modern culture even what is considered “trad” is made up consumerist nonsense from the 20th century, not any sort of actual tradition

From a novel year 1890: “Gerhard sat and looked at his fingers — at his wedding ring — turned it — folded his hands, so the fingers cracked.”

I like everything about Charles’ attire. The jacket’s fit, the shade of navy, the 3 button closure, the pale grey tie-handkerchief combination on a white shirt, the polished black shoes.

A recent favourite necktie of mine. It doesn’t look fancy or fashionable but ties shouldn’t. The best blend into the attire.

Best dressed Nobel laureate I’ve come across. Tie and collar are pure sartorial excellence.

"I did not seek solitude. I found it. And from my solitude I think, work, and live – and I believe that I write and speak with almost infinite composure and resignation."
1989 literature laureate Camilo José Cela in his wise Nobel Prize lecture: bit.ly/34GwINW
