What to get from J Press?

I am a Brooks Brothers loyalist (i know their clothes aren't the most authentic or adventurous but I buy it since it's actually very affordable when on sale) and am looking to get a nicer OCBD or chino or something that you can't get at BB. I am interested in trying out J Press, especially after Carlson took over and there is a sale right now. What is still unique and good quality there nowadays? Maybe I should look at their knits instead of OCBDs? I am looking for something that would be a step up or not available at BB.

If not printing photos frequently, is medium format worth it?

Medium format has higher resolution than 35mm but it is often said that if you are looking at images on your phone, higher resolution is not going to make a difference (same reasoning why you can't tell a difference between a 16mb vs 60 mb tiff on phones). So what is the advantage of medium format over 35mm if you aren't making large prints?

I guess the dynamic range will be better but how does that actually manifest in the image (maintains shadow detail?)

Upscale Party Ideas

What are some fun and unique ideas for an upscale garden party? I know of things like drink fountains with premade cocktails. Maybe lawn games or polaroid pictures? This would be for a cocktail hour before a salon where there is a talk.

Engagement with “Instagram Photographers”

What makes instagram photographers like Portra Papi and Joe Greer popular? I enjoy their work but don't find it to be particularly ground breaking and I feel like my own photography that I post is not that far off but I get no traction. I mostly just post for fun for my friends but I wonder what are the main factors that determine whether you get engagement on instagram for film photography. Most of their content is not even video, which you would think would not be promoted by the algorithm so it isn't that and it's not clear to me that using hashtags actually does anything to get discovered.

For example, why is portra papi’s photo (second) better than mine (first)? I think they are similar enough to compare and I think his is better but I want to learn what I could do better next time.
