Murray’s Toggery’s actually pink fabric great for dinner outside on a sweltering evening, facing the sunset so dark glasses. With club tie, Edward Green loafers; blazer.

Fireworks and watermelon later with the Northerners who propose to be our in-laws so trying make a good impression in our colors (plus the yellow Labradors).

Remember to wager, or at least cheer, on our horse Vissino in the Sanford at Saratoga today. Grade III stakes for promising two year olds; early Derby contenders so we are watching with interest.

Picnic and fireworks with Yankees. Matlock represented.

White duck pants and navy hopsack blazer with Gucci loafers; yellow Labrador and Submariner for swimming; topiary animals excited about World Cup.

Orvis hopsack blazer (incapable of wrinkling), with Boast polo, madras and horsebit loafers. All cool for a warm day at the track.

If you plan to be at the Spa on Saturday, wear seersucker and consider a wager on our horse Vissino in the Grade III Sanford Stakes. Broke his maiden in impressive debut; training well. The Sanford is an important early race for promising 2-year olds and we are hopeful Vissino is a Derby contender; bred for stamina but has showed early speed.

“need a bigger boat”. In honor of July 4th, wearing this tie to beach bonfire and late swim in the moonlight out to the buoy. Labs love to dog paddle the Atlantic

“15 stolen puppies!” All Dog Alert!

Beat Duke with Carolina blue!

This colourful and textured vintage Lilly cotton fabric
soon to be unleashed poolside, with cuffs. And not with these Aldens.

Marque inwardly disapproves, with good reason, of the whole affair.

Tie from venerable but now defunct Keys & Lockwood, once sold in venerable but similarly vanished shops; this survivor from H Stockton.

With Turnbull shirt; Oxxford suit.

Stifling heat but no Keats or Yates, just gutters and leaves for me.

Who among you has not done yard work in green suede loafers and Cartier? I did take my jacket off but only as a compromise with my medical advisor and foreperson, She Who Must.

Photographs from a charity ball on the very last night before Covid shut down society, high and otherwise. I was seated next to a dowager who had just returned from England the day before and she passed along the illness to half the table but not me!

How, if at all, did Covid impact your fashion decisions, during lockdown and then after? I just tried to soldier through, with a stiff upper lip, to keep up a personal standard. I also drank extra bourbon.
