Feet Warmer

From Target, $20 when on promotion. It's like a bag where you can put your feet in. I thought of buying this because I tried someone else's in-slipper warmers before.

Must have for winters!

Shoehorn

If you don't know what it is

I stopped wearing sneakers and the shoehorn helps me putting on and off the shoes easily without re-doing the laces.

And it's so small you can put it in your pocket if you're travelling.

$4 from Walgreens, made from quality plastic. Not horns though, those would be much more expensive.

Collar Extenders

Off-the-rack dress shirts (custom made would cost $150+) aren't really flexible, some only have S/M/L sizes, some let me choose collar size + sleeve length, but it's still hard to get both the collar and the shoulders fit at the same time.

Most of the time the problem is that the collar is choking me if I button up all the way up, and that's where the collar extenders shine.

They can be chained. The colors don't really matter since you'll be (and hopefully) covering them with . bow / neck tie.

Panama Hat

A stylish alternative for my extremely practical tropical hiking hat. Off-white, from amazon, made of straw, featuring a pretty black hat band, ~$25.
