I’m not big on shopping for clothes. I prefer to buy a batch of shirts and pants once or twice a season and be done for a year (or three). I like plain, neutral colors without any visible logos, prints or decorative patterns so I can mix and match at will. Think modular.
Trouble is, there aren’t a lot of stores in my area with quality, affordable yet flexible, youthful yet professional threads that fit the bill. Most of what I find is either too casual (and cheap) or too formal (and pricey). And there are only so many Merona designs from Target each season. So, I was pleased to discover about a year ago that Sears (of all places) purchased the Structure line for Men. Not everything there matches my taste, but here are a few recommended picks for summer:

• Short Sleeve Stretch Coat Front (my wife said on first glance this looked like a 1970s dentist’s uniform. But, I can pull it off.)
• Short Sleeve Stretch Poplin Shirt (Go un-tucked.)
• Cotton Cargo Pant (Flat front, or die.)

BTW, their shirts run a little large, so I went with one size lower than normal (medium instead of large).
