This deserve waaaay more likes! An exemplary casual outfit IMO.
Years ago I was flying to New Orleans for the Essence Festival and got bumped up to first class. There was a short handsome Black man sat next to me and we chatted a bit during the short flight. When we were disembarking loads of girls from coach were crowding up for a photo with him, and this was repeated later at baggage claim. I asked one of the girls who it was and was told it was Hill Harper. I knew of him but didn’t know much about him, he’s a bit of a renaissance man (actor, writer, presenter, producer etc).
Any the point being that he was dressed a bit like this. A polo shirt, dark jeans (I don’t think yours are jeans!) and suede shoes. Nothing out of the ordinary and very similar to how I was dressed and how I’m dressed frequently on a weekend. But there was something about his clobber - No logos, nothing flash at all - that just looked a cut above your average RLP polo and nudie jeans. Hard to put my finger on it but a lot like this pic. Nothing too outrageous but when you look a little closer you can notice tell-tale signs of class. I did notice he had a nice dark brown croc leather satchel with him!

Anyway, post more!

That’s such a great outfit. Where are the trousers from?

Thanks. They are a linen/cotton blend from Brooks Brothers. I bought them used on Ebay.

Cable knit cashmere (Luca Faloni), cashmere-blend peacoat (PWVC/Permanent Style), bespoke cavalry twill trousers(Götrich/Cad and the Dandy) and bespoke cordovan shoes (Maftei). I call this combination "luxury fisherman"!
