We quoted young men in suits and how they would look like Ivy legends in today’s excessive search for the right fashion establishment. There was writing about nostalgia and relaxed tailored outfits. It was in part 1.
Here goes a series of pieces that unveil another Ivy chemistry. A few details that “connoisseurs” may distinguish & already apply as guidelines.
It is that time of the day when it all comes to essential pleasure…
We start the tour with the shawl-collar cardigan from GANT RUGGER. The “rugged” line of GANT is a heritage thing, all ideas emerging from a six decades dusty originals. And they say “…it feels good.”
Although the comfy & stylish ribbed, cream toned cardigan from GANT RUGGER seems to fill in gaps you may have, GARCIA Jeans came-up with this waist-length jacket in between the “Harrington” and the Varsity jacket. Reversible in khaki cotton texture or in blue & red checks.
GARCIA, a 1977 pure Italian-born denim brand that later mixed-up with Dutch business discipline, provide a full range of denim & non-denim pieces in at least 25 flagship stores. For “confident & relaxed” people in a “full of excitement & enjoyment” mission…
The basic white cotton vest -also from GARCIA Jeans- gives the sensual tonality…
Combined with the GARCIA Jeans cargo pants in off-white, rolled-up, never ironed and with an incorporated belt, you’ve reached the casual level of sense without a doubt.
CONVERSE & the JACK PURCELL canvas myth. With the “smile” signature they remain one of the best vintage references.
As long as accessories make the difference…
Woven belt from FRANKLIN & MARSHALL.
One of the most aesthetically pertinent partnerships this season: KRISVANASSCHE for EASTPAK for the second time around. Intelligent use of the EASTPAK codes by a master of the urban as it should be, echoing luxurious details and modern masculinity in a casual universe.
From beige cotton twill with strokes of red and metal details.
The Automatic Sun Vintage by TAG HEUER. Another heritage pushed to its limits of higher technology & fluid, urban design.
Still nothing extreme, but essential…
