15. I tend not to buy trendy clothing. I love the classics. They never go out of style.

My suits are all pretty standard. Single-breasted in classic colors and fabrics. Nothing too flashy. When I want to jazz up a suit, I usually pair it with brightly colored shirts and ties, and a nice pocket square.

I also like dressing down a suit with a mock tee and a pair of suede desert boots.

The last really trendy item I bought was a ribbed-fabric four-button suit back around 1999. The four-button style only lasted a couple of years after that, and I’ve stuck to the classics since.
