Wear a hat when you are outdoors

I have quite recently picked up the occasional habit of wearing a hat when I am out and about. Not the usual baseball cap or tiny little trilby that some wear but the larger sized hats that actually work in keeping the sunshine and if it isn't a panama straw hat, the rain away.

A hat does complement one's way of dress. It is also functional. Here in Malaysia the sun beats down on us and then very often the heavens open up too. One could carry an umbrella around most of the time but A hat is easier to carry around. Once you are outdoors, its on your head leaving your hands free to move about.

Of socks. Length matters.

Socks. Most of us would be happy wearing any pair of socks so long as it is black. But I would relegate black socks charcoal or black suits, or pants for the most formal of all functions and funerals. Add some colour by wearing some coloured socks if you chose to wear lighter tones or colours.
