 You can wear this anytime on many occasions without being too obviously "vice styled" or drawing any suspicion of you being on the way to a theme party, like it would be the case with some of the over-the-top S2 fashion.  

I'm definitely guilty of that.  I am stuck on season 1&2 fashions right now but it is still fun.  When I first started, I didn't put a toe in the water ... I dove right in the deep end.

I made a huge progress by finding a stand in for the Crockett's Ebel wristwatch used during some season 2 and 3 episodes. Just ordered this round model made by Casio which is pretty nice and quite cheap (got it for 30€ / 40$):

As for the sunglasses, there is a cool model made by Emidio Tucci (ETV1602 C1) which would serve as a mixture between the Persol sunglasses used during season 3 by the frame and the popular Wayfarer model from the rest of the seasons by the color.

And finally, I somehow managed to find a similar t-shirt which appeared both in The Band of The Hand (1986) and the Miami Vice Baby Blues episode. Sold by the H&M brand called ''Divided''. The Spanish name of this t-shirt's style is called ''jaspeado'', which means ''marbled / mottled''. 

It can be found here: https://www2.hm.com/es_es/productpage.0685816006.html

And yes, I'm a huge season 3 clothing fan :D

they made cool watches in the 80s. my dad had a gold watch too. it was super class. the strap looked like gold made skin. i wonder if nowadays you could still wear such things. i mean criminality (and gold prices) had reached such levels nowadays

I'm more of a fan of season 1 and 2 but those styles are definitely harder to pull off today.  People definitely think Miami Vice when they see that.  Season 3 and on are easier to blend in with today's style.  I do wear white linen combos in the summer when I am in Clear Lake, IA because it seems normal near water for some reason.

The irritating thing to me these days is that everything is slim fit.  I feel like my arms are in sausage casings in some blazers I have tried.

Now, how's this for a "Vice" inspired clothing item... I got this out of the basement closet at my parents' house just now... this is probably the first time in 25 years that I've put it on...

I bought this little gem in 1989 as a 15-year-old... having been a fan of "Vice" since I was about 12, 13... naturally, it didn't come from any Italian designer, but was a budget department store knock off (as a 15-year-old, something had to give). But hey, aside from the fact that it could do with a good clean, I could think of an episode or two of Vice where similar clothing was worn... ;)

The fabric texture is intentional, it's not due to a lack of ironing :p

I'm assuming this is 100% linen, completely unlined and unstructured, probably feels more like a shirt than a jacket, right?

couldn't let my hair grow long enough in time as it was down to a 5mm buzz until end of September, so sporting a full grown lockdown beard instead. Not going to the office anyway...

Ha!  That's great!  If you peel out in a Testerossa when you leave I'll truly be jealous!

If he peels out in a Testarossa on a Swiss mountain with half a meter of snow in front of it, I´ll truly be anxious. Ever heard of snow tires or chains for a Testarossa?

:p
