Professionals offer men tips for staying cool in style

Given the choice, most men wouldn’t reach for neckties and suit jackets in record-setting heat, but there’s little leeway when the dress code calls for professional attire.

The buttoned-down look may seem harsh in 90-degree temperatures, but it’s the customary way to do business for men in many lines of work, said Bruce Baird, owner of Bruce Baird & Co., a men’s clothing store on Broad Street.

“You have a different attitude when you’re dressed in a suit,” he said. “Owners of businesses will tell you that the more professional you dress, the harder you work. And people seem to have more respect for you. I have stockbrokers who require their employees to wear professional clothing five days a week, as do law offices and accountants.”

It’s okay considering I’m expecting to lose a few inches in the next few months but all the same, a little frustrating.

The next thing is the padding. It’s thick – and the pedal pushers are marked for endurance, which is why. I felt a little bit like I was wearing a nappy until I realised the fantastic taping around the bottoms of the legs was meaning my 3/4′s more was more 7/8′s and I readjusted – and suddenly they fit perfectly. However they squeak. No, I don’t know either but if I sit on my saddle, and set off, for the first few pedal rotations the padding squeaks. And it really is a little squicky....
