Chambray & Fleece

I personally like wearing button downs when I have the chance because they're so versatile. They look good for a casual day around the house - a denim or chambray shirt is good for doing work around the house even - but you wouldn't look out of place meeting friends for drinks in one either. When the weather gets cool, I turn to my favorite pair of khakis and go from there. A sturdy pair of leather boots helps to keep you ankles warmer (and drier should the weather turn on you).

I buy clothes for value and fit over brand name and bargain if I can. I'm 6'3" so I have to shop for tall sizes unless I want shirts to fit two of me. Snagged this chambray shirt from American Eagle online (and on sale if I remember correctly), but most of the shirt shopping I do now is online as few stores carry them. Helpful tip though: the Eddie Bauer outlet carries tall sizes in stores, I would assume the normal store does as well but I can not confirm that.

For cool dry days I like to throw on a fleece. This one I have on by Columbia is one of the first jackets I bought when I moved to the Midwest. It zips into an outer shell for when the rain and snow start falling which is a huge plus for me. A nice tip, it works just a great as my mid-layer while snowboarding as it does around town.

I always try to get the details right, even if nobody else can see them. My pants and boots always cover my socks, but I have an arsenal of dress socks to wear because the socks help make the man. I even matched my handkerchief with them today. And even though my watch matches my boots, the battery died a while ago in it and I have yet to go change it... there's just something nice about wearing one even though I check my phone for the time.
