I recommend Elliot Richardson lookalike Derek Guy’s website dieworkwear for great casual clothing inspiration. (He’s on this thread.) But in general there are more great choices in casual wear today than ever. Lots of it comes from Japan; lots of it isn’t cheap. But deals can be found, and again Derek pays close attention to it.Yeah, McMansions just reek of tackiness. I’d rather have one of the old Craftsman homes in Coronado than any of the big houses around me. Huge homes with zero architectural interest often speak to the commensurate personality of the owner.
Food? Give me a small meal at my favorite sushi place any day. I don’t need a 22 ounce tomahawk steak. 6 to 8 ounces of protein is plenty.
Now, as I wander into my dotage (just hit my fifties recently), im trying to figure out my clothing. Work attire is easy—suit and tie. It’s casual wear where I struggle to find something appropriate for my age, demeanor, and the pleasure I still get watching American football at a dumpy bar.
