John, 

I honestly couldn't have said it better myself! Nothing to add.

Hey Mitchell,

I do enjoy the polo look and would say that you are certainly doing it right. I also frequent dress shirts but am more casual in wearing them; Leave the top couple unbuttoned, untuck, and roll up the sleeves. This along with a well matched pair of khaki's or dress pants never seems to attract more attention than I'm looking for.

Also, I made my transition in dress fairly slowly. I started at the tail end of my teens wearing hoodies and jeans, slowly added in sweaters nicer pants, and later polos, dress shirts/pants and the occasional jacket over the course of a year or so and my friends never really felt the urge to point it out. They just know me as the 'classy person' now and probably wouldn't be terribly put off if I went to dinner in a 3-peice suit. That being said, they all pretty much still wear jeans and hoodies (not that there is anything wrong with that), so what is a suit to them.

Props to you Nicholas!  Casual dress is where I have found the greatest challenges.  I work in an office so dressing for work is easy.  Dressing casually enough to hang out with friends yet trying to go a step above the jeans, t-shirt, flip flop trap is more difficult.  Most things I've read seem to indicate that the polo is sort of the go-to style but if anyone has any other suggestions I'm open for suggestions.  Pretty soon it will be way to warm in Minnesota for my blazer.

I have actually begun the same thing as Mitchell has. I have decided to wear more polo's and khakis instead of tees

I've been working on the wardrobe slowly.  Last night I went to a casual type party and instead of jeans and a T I stepped it up a bit and wore casual cut khaki's, brown shoes, polo shirt (untucked) and I threw a navy blazer over the top and tossed in a simple white pocket square.  I felt great and got some nice compliments without feeling over dressed.

I really like this clothing style, I was wondering if anyone knew of a place I could inexpensively duplicate.

Scott, that is a truly disturbing image. How difficult would it be to at least make an attempt to dress respectfully for a funeral?

I do not know if this is the site to vent, but I have to go somewhere. I was at a funeral service the other day, black suit, white shirt, black tie, sapphire tie pin, black wingtips, I was surrounded by full grown men in shorts and flipflops, at a funeral. Would it have killed them to wear big boy pants and shoes for two hours?
