Anonymous sent: Hey, I'm going on a vacation this summer to Hawaii for 7 days, and I was curious as to what you would pack on a vacation in the heat of Hawaii?
Vacation
Everyone wants to stay comfortable and cool on vacation while packing as little gear as possible. After all, unless you have some business meetings or important people to meet, it is called vacation for a reason.
Steps to packing light:
- Find a pair of swim trunks that can be worn to the beach, bar or …something else that you do on vacation that starts with a B. One swim suit should be alright for a trip, but I aim for a patterned and solid color pair.
Others: Lands’ End, Boden, h&m
- Lightweight t’s and tanks are all that you need. Don’t be that guy wearing a button up and cargo shorts. Just don’t. It’s vacation, enjoy wearing almost nothing.
If you have a dinner or something formal, then I would suggest a lightweight button up. But only one. Loosely buttoned. And accustomed to late night swims.
- Some people have problems with flip flops, So I would go with a pair of Vans or Espadrilles that you can easily dump sand out of. And skateboard in. And spill drinks on.
No socks.
Do it.
I find it easiest to roll my shirts when I pack to save space. Then again I don’t pack very often, so someone else might have a better suggestion. But probably not, because YouTube told me so. And the Tube is always right.
Oh, and enjoy Hawaii.
Aloha.
Hope this helps!
Anonymous sent: what do you recommend wearing to prom besides a tuxedo? something different would be nice. any suggestions.? thanks!
Separate yourself from the pack at prom.
There is nothing wrong with a tuxedo, but everyone is most likely going to have one on.
Depending on what your date is wearing, I would go with a slim fitting suit. Possibly some floral.
Minimal.
Pay attention to fit.
Don’t over-do the outfit.
After all, you’re going to need to be comfortable so you can take full advantage of the dance floor. But you will take a lot of pictures, so look your best.
Anthony and Dustin just attended a wedding where they displayed some looks that would be appropriate. They also provided some links for items close to what they’re wearing.
Some places to consider purchasing a suit: H&M, Express, Lands’ End
That way, you can wear your suit past prom time.
Some ties: BR, J. Crew, Lands’ End
So go to prom, laugh a lot, request your favorite song, loosen that tie, just have fun.
But look good doing all of that.
Hope this helps!

Plain T-Shirt: Jacket Season
The varsity jacket has sure made a comeback this season. Given that My Dad’s old jackets are two sizes too big and every other one I have seen in pictures cost more than my rent this month, I did not see it making its way in to my closet.
H&M’s outerwear this season is detailed for the price. This jacket gives you some cool stitching with an inner pocket. Most importantly, it’s a thick jacket which is what I look for when spending dough (…money).
Easy to layer or throw on while running out the door, it’s definitely a Fall essential for me. Fall wear is naturally a bit more expensive, so make sure you try it on and it haunts you for days before you finally buy it.
This is in stores for who was asking in the messages. You stay warm out there now.
Jacket: H&M - &69
Denim: Scotch&Soda - $145
Shirt: J. Crew - $11
Shoes: Red Wing - $130
Plain T-Shirt: Tweed
