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 don’t know why I wait all the way until the end of the year to enjoy cranberry sauce. I love that shit. And I love roasted turkey meats. Thanksgiving needs to be once a month. Hey, if Black Friday can start in September then I should be allowed to have cranberry sauce in September.

I’m pulling one of my chunky shawl collar knits out for the season. In the past few year Ralph LAuren has been dropping these knits in some of the boldest patterns.

This is the Thanksgiving dinner ‘Fit for my night out with Chocolate Snowflake and her folks.

I paid a visit to the New Era flagship store in the Village and copped a pair of Diamondback pro hats. The all black with the aztec ‘A’ is gonna make a debut soon enough.
