Simple style advice for the modern man.
With the recent passage of Memorial Day Weekend, we’re officially in white pants season (not that I ever really paid attention to that rule to begin with) – I took the opportunity to bring out some new and old favorites for the warmer spring weather we’re currently enjoying.
Tropical getaways aren’t really my go-to vacation, but my girlfriend was born and raised in Hawaii and so we hop over to the islands every now and again to visit her family and enjoy the change of scenery. Like any person with Scottish and Irish blood, I don’t do great in the sun and heat so I’m always looking to keep cool and somewhat protected from the harsh sun.
It was weirdly cold in San Francisco last week – not nearly as cold as most of the northern hemisphere right now, but colder than usual. The temperatures have been in the 40s (even dipping into the 30s at night!), which has allowed me to wear some pieces of mine that don’t get the attention they deserve. […]
I’ve been experimenting with the polarizing denim-and-blazer look a bit lately, and while it may not ever become a central part of my style it’s worked out better than I initially thought. As with many menswear-y things, getting this look to work is more about finding the right pieces than anything else. […]
One last photoset from my England trip – a cold, snowy day in Hyde Park. This jacket has become my go-to for this Fall/Winter season, which is probably a surprise to nobody. The copper hardware that was bright and shiny out of the box has already begun to burnish and patina into a much more […]
Strictly speaking, it was colder in Edinburgh than in London during my trip, but somehow it felt much colder here because the air was so damp. All the more reason to layer up and give these often ignored warm clothes some use! Overcoat – Eidos | Suit – Beckett & Robb | Shirt – Proper Cloth | […]
Although I didn’t have an opportunity to venture in to the Highlands while visiting Scotland, I got a small taste of it on a hike up Arthur’s seat, the remains of an extinct volcano near old Edinburgh. It was a rainy, muddy, rocky hike – just how I like it. Also – this post feels familiar… […]
I had a great time in Edinburgh last week – it’s a beautiful city. Plus, the weather was cool and dry enough to allow me to wear this overcoat, which is a big plus. I’ll be posting more WIWT shots as well as some longer content on my trip over the next few days, so […]
San Francisco has been seeing some rain recently – beautiful, wonderful rain. It’s given me a chance to bust out my new jacket, a waxed cotton number from Private White VC. The jacket is something that I’ve had my eye on for a long time, and I’ll be sure to post a thorough review soon. […]
I love rules. My brain seems to do well with the order and reason they provide, and as a result of such they often shape the activities in my life. The laws of mathematics led me to study physics, which in turn led me to engineering. In the same way, I became obsessed with the the rigidity of music theory and that interest led me to jazz music, where I learned how to apply and break those very rules. And, unsurprisingly, the rules of classic tailored clothing is exactly what got me interested in menswear in the first place. With that said, though, there is one thing that any good rule needs – a good reason for existing in the first place. […]
