The 3 Suits Every Man Should Own

Reports about the death of the suit are greatly exaggerated. Although it’s no longer the universal Monday-to-Friday uniform, a tailored two-piece remains an essential. From weddings and work events to funerals and (ahem) court dates, there are still occasions for which a business causal button-up and chinos just won’t do. So yeah, you need at least one good one. Probably—almost certainly—in navy worsted wool (aka, the solid, slightly shiny wool you’ll see on the vast majority of suits at any given department store, which has long been closely associated with traditional business attire). It’ll work in almost any situation where a suit isn’t just a suggestion.

It blew the roof off Tropicana Field. The bright side? Maybe they can build a new roof that keeps baseballs from hitting it. Meanwhile, the story on Thursday seems to be that Milton, while unquestionably destructive, was not as catastrophic as the pre-storm predictions had it.

The week before I turned 49, an optometrist broke the news that my astigmatism had worsened to the point that bifocals would help. Don’t worry, they make them now where you can’t see the bifocal lenses, she tried to assure me. The week I turned 49, I got a physical and told my doctor that I’d developed a nagging pain in my shoulder to accompany the chronic pain in my groin, that the muscles in the sole of my right foot seized on the regular. The week I turned 49, I ended months of procrastination by completing the paperwork for my living will and trust. But of course it forced me to assess my lesser-than-they-should-be assets. What I hadn’t predicted, though, was the dread of filling out a durable health-care power-of-attorney form (autopsy? organ donation?); ditto for the morbid angst of DNR and end-of-life elections.
