Man In Style, Installment V


Despite the fact that current fashion seems to sanction the wearing of casual clothes almost everywhere during the daylight hours, there are occasions like shopping when a man should be slightly more dressed up. In the photo, taken at J. Michaels Clothiers in Nashville, André Churchwell wears a tan 3 roll 2 Prince of Wales check suit of cloth from W. Bill that was tailored by Leonard Logsdail. Solid colored accessories are usually the best complements to a suit with a big pattern, and his blue shirt picks up the overcheck in the cloth, as does the Pacific blue necktie.

André's brother Keith wears black chalk stripes, also by Logsdail, with a dandy's cream wool odd waistcoat, a white shirt, a gray bordered white pocket square and gray necktie. He carries a black trilby.

Thanks again for these posts. They really capture the essence of style and the purpose of your blog. In an age where most men equate business suits in grey or blue as stylish attire as opposed to uniforms, it is refreshing to see gentlemen, not in uniform, but still dressing well.

Also worth noting, I would think, is Andre’s small red boutonnière. I’m curious what kind of flower it is.

These two guys look great if at the high end of flamboyance. Absolutely great.
