A Look : Casual Friday II

A Look : Casual Friday II

Simple and smooth.

I’m not going to say what brands these are because its about the look and feel.

The casualness of a painter pant, washed oxford, crewneck and some  brown longwings.

You really can’t go wrong.

Happy Friday folks.…

    A Look : Spring Heat

    A Look : Spring Heat

    Yes, its supposed to be up to 86° F today, a bit warm I agree.

    I grabbed a hat this morning because the sun is bright and I’m gonna walk around outside! Wear your shades and call it a day.

    Also who doesn’t need a camo tote?

    Agreed

      The Case for Camo

      The Case for Camo

      Its true, I really am on a camo kick right now. You might be reading this and thinking really? camo? So a few folks asked to see how I put camo in my wardrobe.…

        A Look : Quirky Ivy

        A Look : Quirky Ivy

        As much as I love March, it’s months like these that can be frustrating. Wear a coat in the morning, take it off in the afternoon, and put it back on in the evening. I get by though. Hopefully soon enough, I can be coat free! Bring on that sun!

        The plaid fun shirt is probably one of my new favorite shirts. The mixture of plaids really makes any outfit pop. File “fun shirts” under must have.

        Also, I put my glasses into this as I wear my Moscot’s everyday. Please oh please don’t wear glasses if you don’t need them. Recently, at the Band of Outsiders show I saw a guy wearing frames; just frames no lenses. These are …

          A Look : It’s Snowing

          A Look : It’s Snowing

          Snow is falling pretty hard in NYC today. I hope everyone is staying warm wherever they are. Wear an outfit like this and you’ll be warm and looking slick.

          The RRL parka is one of my favorites, the fit is spot on and the red is nice and faded, looks like you’ve owned it for ages. Paired with a Norwegian sweater (yes made in Norway) over an oxford you might even be too warm. Thrown together with a british wool bobcap, deerskin gloves and bean boots.

          Now go help your neighbor shovel snow. You’re a nice looking gentleman.

            A Look : Casual Friday

            Now I know the haters are gonna flip when I throw in sweat pants but hey I don’t really care. Style is about doing something your own and looking comfortable.

            I wish I could take credit for this look but I saw someone wearing something along these lines today and had to post about it (dude looked legit).

            Now a tattersall shirt with a jean jacket I can get into. Then a Engineered Garments vest on top, very nice.

            Throwing the sweatpants into the mix is my opinion of a winter “Go To Hell” look.

            Also, can’t go wrong with Pro Keds right?

              A Look : Fighting For Spring

              This morning it snowed… now its nearing 40°F

              Spring is chasing down winter in NYC today.

              In my opinion this is the perfect outfit for one of those days. Most likely your office is blasting the heat to compensate the low temperature this morning. So it helps to have  a lighter (I wear madras year round) shirt, some cotton cargos and dirty bucks. If you’re a wuss like me and you’re never warm enough you can wear a knit cap (one of my favorites)
