As much as I hate the SWPL term “repurposed” it is an apt choice for the right circumstance.
The leather company Coach is making more of an attempt to get into men’s wallets and their latest effort is pretty cool.
Apparently they’re made of vintage baseball gloves. Vintage as in – more than 70 years old. There are only 200 being made and at $350 it’s a hell of a lot of money to drop on a wallet. Again though, it’s another thing that’s ripe for the DIY treatment.
Sometimes it can be hard to wear clothing that stands out without it being gimmicky. For the vast majority of you, just wearing appropriately adult clothing that fits properly is going to set you above the rest of the men around you. That’s why, when you’re building a wardrobe, you want to remember to avoid “unique” gimmicks and just go for classic looks.
The extra buttons his lapel look stupid. If he only had the one button hole, the contrast stitching would look good. Now it takes up too much real estate and again makes the jacket look try-hard.
Stick with classics and you won’t go wrong, especially on big things like jackets.
I hate flip-flops. They’re lazy and overly casual. Yes they are appropriate at the beach or the pool, but even then, they’re lazy. No one has ever been intrigued by a man’s flip-flops.
Thankfully there are summer-appropriate alternatives out there. We’ve talked about espadrilles before and I’m a fan of those. I stumbled on these this week and want to grab a pair for this summer.
If you have the right coloring, wearing a tie like this is awesome.
Stark contrast men not only look naturally better with loud clothing, they’re more justified in standing out. If you are lucky enough to have dark hair and light skin, take advantage of it.
