    Miami is very very hot & humid most of the year

    So I wear mostly dry fit Nike polos & shorts every day

    My friends tell me I need to take it up a notch

    I'm thinking cotton polos by La Martina, Robert Graham, & Hugo Boss

    Any other suggestions ?

    Also need some loafer looking shoes that I can also use to run or kick azz just in case

    Dri Fit t-shirts and short are also my daily outfit. Just need to throw in a pair of slippers. Cotton is nice, but I switched over to Dri Fit as it breathes a lot better in Hawaii and of course, rarely shows sweat. I got some nice shorts from Costco that are a Dri Fit type of fabric and they are great!

    Well, WH did mention the "need to take it up a notch", not down (with slippers) which, may be impossible with shorts to begin with.

    Go for the Bermuda sports look.

    Or imitate what Hemingway wore in Key West.

    If you can deal with a bit of tropical look, I like Tori Richard shirts, very light and breathable.

    In terms of shoes, if you are going to literally kick, make sure they have some sort of tie and not just straight slipons, otherwise you will be finding yourself shoeless quickly.

    I like the DryFit shirts and wear them a lot (corporate logo version).

    For shorts, Columbia and other companies make wicking shorts that look like nicer cargo shorts. They are for Hiking and Surf. I have a pair from RS Surf I really like, but cant find more of them :(

    Best,

    I cant wear sandals or slippers outside. Never know when you'll have to run or kick but.

    I have no fashion sense so I wear slippers, but when I wear shoes with my shorts, they are usually Chucks or Topsiders.

    Easiest solution- get new friends and keep wearing what you're comfortable in.

    Top siders are great for relaxing then kicking ass at the drop of a dime. I love mine and wear them daily and I do a lot of walking.

    The rubber inserts are glued in terribly so don't be surprised if they become loose. Some special glue should be an easy fix to this but I have never tried that. For the two pair I have owned I just made sure the soles were in place before I put the shoe on.

    Tie them up tight and you should be able to deal out a nice ass whoopin. :D

    Cole Haan (formerly owned by Nike) makes a version of the top sider that is imho more comfortable. They also come in a greater variety of colors. Cole Haan shoes tend to run a bit big so it is best to buy them in person.

    X2 on the drifit shirts in humidity. When those trades stop, you'll hate a cotton shirt.

    I bought some guide pants at eddie bauer. They are light, dry fast and are subtle.

    My wife bought me some Ecco sandals and I would recommend those too.
