The Toasty Dog (01.26.14)

With the weather consistently throwing random bouts of wind and snow the city’s way, my general outlook towards life right now is that I would rather be sleeping through it. However, with bills needing to be paid and my name on a schedule to work, hibernation is simply not an option. Since I don’t live…

Pattern Down

With today came the last shirt in my closet that was clean, and thus laundry day. My love for black watch plaid is no secret if you’ve been following this blog (though, I am far behind behind evolutionofagentlemen, no one can compete with that), but today I chose to have the shirt be the statement piece…

January Earth Tones

It’s funny how any rise in temperatures can make the current temperatures feel a lot warmer than they might actually be. Take today as an example. With the East Coast being hit with seemingly record lows over the past few days, today’s temperatures triggered a rise in the mercury of almost 20 degrees. With the…

Texture In Layers

Even though the temperatures peaked at midday around 50F, the scattered clouds and showers kept things pretty cool which helped the nighttime chill to set in faster than most would prefer. With this in mind, I opted for the corduroys and lambswool sweater which helped to keep things warm, but not stuffy. In always helping…

Leather In Layers

With a new year comes new ideas and although this idea isn’t a new concept, I decided to try it out. As you might know, I’m not opposed to experimenting with layers and today was no exception. However, as much as I can take credit for what I actually layered here, the real idea came…

Floral In Rain

Although you may think of floral prints as having more to do with spring and summer, the burgundy background of this bow tie helps it fit right in on this rainy day in Brooklyn. In trying to keep up with the pace of the rain, suede was definitely out of the equation unless you have…

Sunday In Stripes

With the balmy weather in full effect and Christmas only 3 DAYS AWAY (!?!?), I opted for a simpler outfit. Happy Sunday everyone and be sure to make time for family on this holiday. (Oh, and if you’re like me, today would be a great day to catch up on all that last-minute shopping!) Details:…

Midnight Rider

The other night when I apologized for the “midnight hour-esque posting,” I very obviously did not have the foresight to see that this post would actually be going up at the midnight hour. However, after a day of traversing Brooklyn and working, I am finally getting around to doing this. In continuing with the sartorial…

Party Pants

Although I won’t find myself going to any holiday parties tonight, red corduroys consistently compose the subject of “party pants 101.” Though you may get exotic with patterns, colors, and even throw some embroidery in, a good pair of red corduroys will see you safe through any yuletide gathering this season. The brighter the red,…

Green & Red with a Side of Reindeer

Today was a mix of ups and downs as the better part of today I was stuck in bed with a sore throat and head cold. However, it soon cleared up in time for an excursion to 5th Ave. Known primarily as shopping destination for tourists and locals alike, 5th Ave offers everything from Uniqlo…

Tweed & Wool Meet Snow

While I was out last night, I ran into a couple who said that they were visiting from San Diego. As enthralling as that story was, it’s not the point. The point is that they were worried if whether or not they would be able to fly out this morning due to an, “impending snowstorm.”…

Time To Be Lazy

Some days carry with them certain feelings. No matter what you planned/ are planning to do, certain days just feel certain ways, and today felt lazy. In a way not unlike the Patriots’ offense today, the majority of today was spent doing absolutely nothing. Enter cardigan. Cardigans, in my mind, are synonymous with lazy days…

Same Blazer, Different Day

In continuing with the highs of moving to the city that never sleeps, moving always tends to bring with it a certain feeling of something I can only put into words by describing it as a confusing mix of utter depression, confusion, and complete uncertainty. Although I have managed (for the most part) to not…

Solid Patterns

Even though yesterday was all about staying true to blue, today’s outfit is completely comprised of a pallette that almost leaves the color out entirely. As you can see, today is all about layers. Whether from need, sartorial madness, or just doing it for the heck of it, today was great for layers. Before you…
