What are we spending way too much time thinking about this month? Apple’s iPad! ($499): Because it’s going to change the way we commute, or at least change the way we entertain ourselves while we are forced to commute. 10″ Linen Pocket Round by Alexander Olch ($45): Like a pocket square, but less square. Nixon Cobalt blue shoes aren’t easy for anyone to pull off. Hamish Bowles (Vogue Editor) manages to tie the look together with his matching sweater and shirt, but it’s actually not necessary to be all matchy-matchy. One way to spunk up a look and show off some sartorial style is to throw in a random element. In this case it was the shoes, but it could be anything from a brightly colored sweater to patterned plaid pants. Just make sure to keep the other elements of your outfit simple so that there’s not too much going on. The Rule: Match ‘Em According to the tenets of man-law, thine belt shalt match thine shoes, and this violation is just the kind of thing that tends to get noticed. The black-black or brown-brown pairing is always appropriate and should be the default setting for any sensible getup. This is an attention-to-detail test, underpinned by a recognition that a dress belt isn’t really for holding up one’s pants, but for adding an element of connectivity to an ensemble. Keep the shades and patterns close, and keep that style reputation intact. |
