Style Shots—Classic Menswear Fall Edition

I caught up with David P. Lochner over at one of the best vintage shops that caters exclusively to men, Briar Vintage in Old City, Philadelphia. Love the fur detailing on his coat and the textured socks. As always with menswear it’s fun to see what details are emphasized with the color schemes, in this case the yellow pocket square pulling out the yellow in the plaid pants was a great touch.

Style Shots—Menswear Pattern Mixing

A well dressed man is a thing to behold, here we have Wale, one of Esquire’s ‘Best Dressed Real Men’; a lawyer by day in our own fair city of Philadelphia and owner of an amazing menswear fashion blog where you can see him wearing goods from his upcoming clothing line. 

One of my favorite things about menswear is that the closer you look the more interesting details you find. Here we find a lot of subtle things, like the color of one of his bracelets matching the buttons on his jacket, the yellow in his pocket square compliments the yellow thread on the jacket itself. The color scheme and texture of his shoes and suitcase also work very well together. This type of subtle detailing and accessorizing is definitely something to consider when putting together an outfit. Between the pocket square, jacket and shirt you have an fantastic mix of patterns. Pattern mixing is big for Fall in women’s wear, here’s a good example of how a man does it. 

Style Shots—Beau & Co. Chambray Pt III

Photography & Words by: Swabreen Bakr

That crisp fall air has arrived! We’re continuing our chambray series with bespoke menswear brand Beau & Co. Now you gentlemen get to layer up and transition summer staples into fall.

Michael Beaumont says,

The chambray shirt is again a great choice for this time of year as when worn underneath a knitted garment or a blazer, the cloth is very good at retaining warmth. We’ve paired the shirt with a pair of trim dusky blue chinos, a navy Beau & Co. merino wool v-neck sweater, and a pair of tan British lace up shoes.

Paring multiple shades of complimentary blues is something we’re particularly fond of this season, it’s great for all skin tones, and works well with most colors of shoes and belts you’ll have in the closet at this time of year. Wear this outfit to the store, a date, or even work on a Friday.
