What a great example of a single pleated high waisted trouser. Of course i love his Turnbull & Asser shirt with that popping pink and blue. I have been seeing a ton of khaki lately ! trench coats and pants as of late. Maybe we will see the drop crotch boys in girls jeans fad fade..
Talk about a little pick-me-up. On an otherwise rainy day, found this here neck tie. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
It’s spring; time to put our winter gear away but you can still wear a fur-felt hat, and welcome straw.
’bout to go off right now.
Too many fellas have been wearing the worst hats lately. These stingy brimmed hard looking things. Every hat is the same shape, no movement. like my dad’s london fog rain hat. In every possible fabric- plasticy looking white or cream straw hats with generric black bands. The straw hat of yesterday bought while on vacation has been replaced by the $9.99 version at MJ or Canal Street I saw so many during the winter- fools, When you can wear fur felt, {in the cold winter months in NYC}why would one wear a hat that the wind breezes right through? Because you saw Britney or Justin wearing one? LA’sinfluence in NYC is giving me an ulcer.
Don’t tell me you have not been seeing guys wearing t- shirts with scarves…or even gloves and a t-shirt! Or, my least favorite- the tuck… what is going on with guys tucking any pant into almost any footwear?
all winter i saw guys with their skin tight jeans tucked into untied boots.. and a just hoodie or light jacket when it’s snowing! I know we are not in Maine, but we’re sure not in LA LA Land
Everyone should be familiar with fotog. (Back In The Days) Jamel Shabazz. He captured heads in their glory, running the streets and subway cars in their kangol hats, adidas, pumas.. NIKE window displays.. women in high waisted jeans, guys in track suits and the illest eyewear by Gazelle; most wearing the plastic style.
This type was favored by the likes of Harry and a select group of other brave men whom ill post shortly.. yes, there are others!
He was coming from an old classmates funeral, I was really excited because I have the same hat, same color and pinched just the same (Worth & Worth) only he wears it much better, his 3 pc suit and those frames! but his knot and attitude took the cake.
He said “we could stay here til the tulips come up”
Without any further delay, I take this time to formally introduce Advanced Style; a blog I have been contributing to that features elders who are killing it for 50 years+ on these here streets and Avenues.
