#blackwatchfriday

A casual look for #blackwatchfriday this year. I can’t believe this thing that I started 12 years ago is still going stronger than ever. Thank you to everyone who has ever participated. Thank you to @acutestyle @mrparker1967 and @dandywellington for helping expand and push this thing forward. Keep the posts coming I want to see what you all come up with! PS: shout out to @dwilloffortune for making the fire Ralph tee that I’m rocking.

After 10 years of doing #blackwatchfriday, I’ve been through many phases. When I first started this, I was very formal and wearing tailored menswear pieces much more frequently. (If you click the hashtag, you can see the previous years) That was because at the time, that is what fit my lifestyle—I worked in banking so I was wearing suits/sport coats, shirts and ties everyday. I also had no kids at that time. Being self employed for the last 5 years and now that I have two daughters, I usually only wear tailored clothing when I am meeting with clients or when I have closings. Most days, this is how I’m dressed—comfortable. These are clothes suitable for being my daughter’s learning partner in virtual school everyday, Starbucks runs, thrift store runs, picking up take out, running errands and most of all staying in my house which is what I do most right now. My style evolves with lifestyle-hence my ig handle.

It's that time of year again! Black (Watch) Friday is this Friday. This is a day that I created for all of us that love the Black Watch plaid pattern. So I changed Black Friday to Black (watch) Friday. This is the 9th year (wow time flies!)..Basically it goes like this: wear something that has the black watch plaid pattern (it doesn't matter how much or how little) post a pic and add the the hashtag #blackwatchfriday to participate. We have had participation from people in countries all over the world. Click on the hashtag to see previous year's entries. This post shows a few of my favorite outfits from previous years.

11.24.17 #blackwatchfriday is finally here. All #blackwatch everything except the shoes. You know there's more under the peacoat, right? Hold tight. Tap once for brands. Big up, @evolution_of_a_gentleman for thinking up this idea seven years ago. I look forward to this every year.
