I don’t really do “reblogs,” but this post at A Suitable Wardrobe was inspirational enough that I felt like I should. I’ve been thinking a lot about summer, and Luca Cordero di Montezemolo here looks great. Will writes:

“Lightweight blazer, chambray shirt, chinos and a pair of Sloops. That is the proper version of the California tuxedo, worn in the photo by Luca Cordero di Montezemolo. An ensemble for casual days in the spring sunshine, it is perhaps appropriate at the track (autos, not horses) as well as certain wineries and smaller towns where there are no neckties within a minimum of twenty miles. The blazer should be single breasted, and patch pocketed, and the shirt ideally a white or blue buttondown with the collar left flapping.”

I really want a pair of Sloops or that Brooks Bros. tie loafer.
