[Magdalen] Taupe?

[Ginga Wilder]

Down South, certainly in SC Lowcountry, men wear lightweight kakki suits in
the warm weather.  It could be considered the preppy uniform, even for
older folks.  My John is a real hunk in a kakki suit!

Yes, Obama caught a bunch of grief about wearing a light suit.  I thought
he looked like the handsome man that he is in that suit.  I liked it.

My $0.02.
