Funny thing about a khaki suit: Whether you drop a few hundred or a few grand on one, you’ll get loads of compliments. Partly, it’s because it’s different: It’s not your typical gray or navy business suit. It gets you noticed. Also, you can wear the hell out of it. A couple of years ago, I found my perfect one (slim in the legs, stiff in the shoulders), and I’ve worn it every which way—to the office (like Milo here), to summer weddings (white shirt, black straight tie), with a polo and sneakers, and with jeans (white or black, but for some reason not blue). At the first hint of warm weather, I pull mine out of the closet, and I dread the cold, damp day I have to stick it back in there. Adam Rapoport www.men.style.com
