Outfit Architecture…

Outfit Architecture is more than simply styling yourself for oohs and aahs. You have to create a ‘Fit that functions for the moves you are making.

The fair isle knit sweater and pinpoint button down oxford are dayjob staples. I usually put a tie on even when I don’t tuck in the shirttails. Ties give you a certain gravitas.

I popped tags on some crispy 501s and even put on some new ‘LO socks (made in Japan). This ‘Fit was all about comfort and flexibility. Something to go from working during the day to playing the city at night.

The final question was which Timb boot would hold down this conservative ‘Fit. I choose the Intervale Mids because I wanted to be quick moving ahead of this oncoming snowstorm. I made it back home just in time.

I went on a lifestyle spree to close out the year and picked up some classic timeless pieces. Some of the joints were actually replacements like the two knits pictured above

the clash

If there wasn’t already a reason to revisit Great Britain in the new year there is now that the Lifestyle brand is turnt up. Polo Ralph Lauren has been making some U.K. exclusives for years now that are simply heatrox. If he doesn’t bring these pieces to the states I am definitely catching a flight on the Concord.

The classic military jacket done up with all the import that Ralph loves to attribute these things with

I’m mad the model is wearing flip flops and shorts tho’ and this I.T. isn’t being offered in the U.S. Dude looks just like one of these NYU fuxbergs I see in the Starbucks in the Village.

Nice patchwork and details as always.

The back of the jacket is official Dipset tissue.

This unassuming flight jacket is heirloom status

Not just because it’s reversible

Not just for the zippers and the patchwork…
