Your Horoscope

Take care this week when purchasing hand-made loafers, as many of the modern designers use sole leather prone to slippage and cracking.


You’ll take a bold stand against hundreds of years of accepted business practices when you refuse to base your in-office wardrobe on a two-button navy blue suit.

The stars see nothing wrong with chiding someone for wearing pleat-fronted khakis, but it’s better to go easy on someone wearing the same style of pant in a gabardine.

You’ll be the object of mockery for days after mistakenly telling your tailor to use too shallow a break in the cuffs of your trousers.

While there’s no doubt that plastic collar stays have their place in the fast-paced modern world, Jupiter ascendant in Leo means it’s time to invest in a set crafted from old-fashioned brass.

With the right collar, three-button sport coats don’t have to look old fashioned, and they can often accommodate PDAs or smartphones in their more generous interior pockets.

A mysterious stranger will appear and teach you how a suit in a bold (not to say loud) checked pattern can add dignified character to your closet, as long as you augment it with plain shirts and solid ties.

A summer-weight wool suit is a nice idea, but let’s face it: Wool is still wool.

This is a good time to make changes in the workplace, especially if you have the kind of quiet authority a pair of heirloom-quality cuff links confer.

Fear will be your prime motivator this week, but don’t be afraid to wear brown shoes with a blue suit as long as the shoes are well-kept and match your belt.

Self-honesty is the most difficult road a man can walk, especially when one is forced to admit that almost no one looks good in both tweeds and pinstripes.

Discomfort will be your greatest obstacle this week; no matter who tailored it or how good it looks on the hanger, you won’t look good in it if you’re not comfortable.
