Read MoreAfter years of avoiding wide fit trousers to negate the unfortunate connotations of my past collecting period menswear, I’ve finally come to terms that it is something I enjoy and is a big part of my style.
Apart from being something intentional and different than dressing to fit in, I also find it comfortable and flattering! Plus, wide fit pants are in- haven’t you been looking at alt tiktok?
I thought I was done after I filled my closet with spearpoints, OCBDS, and sportshirts. “What else could there be that I could wear”, I asked myself.
The answer lies in this long blog post. And yes, these new shirts fit in perfectly with my style.
Spencer and I discuss the dichotomy between style and fashion and how we couldn’t care less about it. Honestly though, whoever wins, we lose.
It’s pretty crazy to think that I’ve never discussed leather jackets in depth on the blog despite: their connection to vintage casual attire, the fact that wearing one is inherently cool, or that they seemingly go with almost every look you could be into.
A leather jacket really is the ultimate piece of casual Americana and they’re awesome, especially when they’re vintage. Honestly, this article has been a long time coming, so you better enjoy it.
We’re discussing the “rule of cool” and how it applies to menswear on our latest pod episode!
You know those rules you always learn early in life which you later go on to break, because it’s just so much fun? Yeah, that’s me with using black (and wearing dark fits in general) within classic menswear.
To some, it’s definitely a bit subversive. And that’s cool as hell.
I’m haven’t used mine for picking guavas yet, but I’m starting to be a fan of this shirt! It’s like a great mix between a chore coat and a sport shirt!
Visiting Bryceland’s was an incredible experience because it allowed me not only to see the store which has inspired me so much in recent years, but also because of the opportunity to meet one of my style icons.
I can only hope that I acted as chill as I thought I was being. Probably not.
