As my wife will gladly attest, I am NO slave to fashion.  In fact, if they made Garanimals for adults, I would buy them.  So my interest was mildly piqued in CareerJournal.com’s What to Wear to the Office Where Suits Aren’t the Norm.  Some fashion advice for us guys:

Casual wardrobe essentials for men include casual and dress pants in khaki, navy, black, and perhaps a pair of relaxed-fit — but not too baggy — dark navy pressed jeans. Men should think creatively with shirts, with colors beyond white and blue, an assortment of styles in solids and stripes, and some turtlenecks. A couple of blazers in navy or tan allow guys to be spiffier for important meetings. Go with dark loafers, with or without socks.

The last line caught my eye and I have to share a story from yesterday.  I was out at a couple appointments yesterday and stopped by a coffee shop.  As I was getting my coffee, I noticed a well-dressed gentleman in a sharp suit – 2 piece with complementary shirt and a coordinated tie.

The strange part of his ensemble . . . he was wearing Teva sandals.  Honestly, there were his barefeet exposed in a pair of hiking sandals.

Trust me on this one, it was passing strange.
