 |
|
| I haven't worn a suit or blazer in ages, so I'm afraid I'm of no help regarding your fashion statement. In the climate where I live, the only men who wear suits are those who wear them as required uniforms and work in air-conditioning all day. Here a long-sleeved guayabera and dark trousers work for any formal occasion short of a tuxedo. Anyone who would wear a suit when normal temperatures are in the 35� to 40� range much of the year, as they are here, would have to be nuts. |

Had that problem in Acapulco. I wore sandals and light pants/short sleeve shirts all the time, if not just a pair of speedos. Too many beers and advancing age make the speedos unwearable these days. The real reason I moved back to DF. 
...to don my satin black kimono! Geez Matt, how did you come up with that? |

I realise this is a little late, but I was busy celebrating the liberation of Cuba last night...
I like the yellow/purple combo. Not so sure about the kimono thing. Reminds me of a *very unsettling* time in the 70s when most adults I knew would spend their time in kaftans. 
Still in therapy for that one! |

Ok, keep the black silk kimono on but please, please never put up a photo of you in your speedos!!
Speedos are always unwearable and unacceptable!! Children go to the beach too you know....  |

It's disturbing to try and relax at the beach when some blubbery oaf sits down next to you wearing nothing but a marble bag. Ugh! Time to go find a new spot on the beach... |

No worries Matt...I've destroyed any photo evidence of the 'Speedo Incident'.

Ahem, ermmmm.... I've actually always been rather partial to men who wear speedos, but I guess I've always been quite specific about the kind of physique men should have if they wear them.
Thongs on the other hand should be banned. |

You should have worn lederhosen--or a dirndyl?
I won't mention the politically incorrect options.... |

| I like the purple tie and yellow shirt, but I think it might look better with a navy suit... |

| A tux is not considered suitable business wear, that's why not. |
