I've always been quite open that my search for style as an older man started by looking on the internet for ideas. With increasing confidence comes the ability to add one's own twists to these ideas - we don't want to be simply copying others. However, we all have to start somewhere.
This image is from Oliver Spencer's Spring/Summer '13 collection. I like the combination of stone-coloured cotton/linen waistcoat and jacket with the cobalt blue trousers and scarlet shirt. This look would look good on a man of any age. See more on Oliver Spencer's website here.
See my Pinterest page for more inspiration.

Argh - I need to bleach my eyeballs.
ReplyDeleteYouch! It sounds painful Mr Anon - I hope you see sense and don't make such a hazardous move.

OK, here's why I don't think this is "fashion". No coordination with colors and textures, it looks like he just grabbed and threw on whatever was closest to hand. No socks with leather (suede) shoes - looks sloppy and careless. Bright colors clashing with each other (red/blue) and overwhelming the neutrals. He also might want to consider washing and combing his hair.
ReplyDeleteA big part of dressing well is attention to details - and I see NO such attention here. I'm surprised he bothered to tie his shoes.
