When winter is trying to stay a bit longer but Marching orders bring Purply and all sorts of Spring vibes to town and country.
Purple is the first color to appear to let us know winter is (on its way) out
here we have the must have jacket of no season. aka pre-spring. When Wall Street calls for the vest we real big investor types reach for the quilted jacket. The jacket that takes ya from the train platform to the nursery for bulbs or the school function too. I like to blend in with rich old ladies uptown or Paris but you can get plenty of plain Jane ones of course. The women’s are way more fun..
Some people wear wide wale cords in summer but I get a bit shvitzy so trying to get wear outta old winter clothes now…before we file them away til pre-fall. I think wearing white footwear screams Summer and whispers of Spring. aka fine for a photo, feels weird on the streets in my experience. but f ‘em. be naughty.
This cap, shirt, sweater (vintage, no tag) and J Press cords all so hard to find but enjoy the hunt!
Like I said, the time of year we want to get use outta our loved F/W items before warm weather comes. Have fun with me, wear a S/S button up over a fun L/S tie dye tee. Throw on a coaches jacket because its chilly am and pm even here in paradise. I made this jacket a few years ago. The sweater vest is Jamiesons from END Clothing. Some nice ones here and I like this one too! The shirt is an old T&A which of course I can’t find another but here’s a new one I LOVE if you want to buy me a bday gift…Dungarees by Our Legacy. I’m no denim head but these are some real genius jeans as far as the printed tears and wear goes!
I’ve been buying these RL colourful striped shirts all winter to will in Spring and I think it’s working. Khakis are new for me in Winter and still even for spring/summer as I was never a khaki bob really but couldn’t name a greater pant to get ya back in to the spring of things. Pleats help you move too, hard to get into the garden in plainfronts but that’s just me. The cap is special…made in USA of super luxurious fabric by WHIM GOLF and gifted to me a few weeks ago. Its soooo light and yet so substantial. I can’t wait to wear once spring officially hits..YAK the footwear, come now on!
these here my birthday pants. Not to be confused with a birthday suit. I enjoy a wearing a floral fabric all year long any and every season but I especially like wearing floral on/around my birthday. Not sure about you but I start seeing purple the minute it’s March. Some will dismiss it as ‘oh its my school colours’ while I’m all about holidays we don’t celebrate as jews…In February I couldn’t tell you if Easter or St Pattys Day comes first but I learn quickly each year just around March when purple starts peeping thru and ppl remind me to slow down, that St Pattys comes first
Cap-, Sweater , Yella polo shirt is an old one but they make great stuff, Painter Pants are from an older season but a real gem, as are these sneakers. Again, I ran out to shoot and wished I wore a belt. I have a hard time styling myself, if a bless not needed to hold the pants up why bother wearing…Oh to show you how to belt? Ok, maybe we will soon down the line.
This is for the ones who jump right into shorts March 1st. Now I did just readlearn that Spring Solstice or Equinox is at the beginning of March even though the actual Spring season doesn’t start until March 52nd or something like that…You get my point though, Some fellas just can’t wait, I can, because once I short I don’t like to long pant til I have to. I didn’t grow up wearing shorts (yeshiva doesn’t allow and neither did my folks) but my sexy legs have never deterred me from trying. Hoisery with socks is still something I’m practicing and need lots more practice. We’re honest over here. It’s never been leg day. I bought these socks YEARS ago in Japan and they have been waiting to wear til today.. Yes, I have some socks put away for rainy days to bring me joy. While a taller guy may wear a higher sock (even when NOT in Bermuda) I have difficulty doing so as there’s not much of a space btwn shorts end and sock…
Editors Note: These pleated shorts (and thermal shirt) were a gift from Nanamica (ALLLLL MADE IN JP) I received in the winter and have been really wanting to try ‘em on for real for real. Glad I did, should’ve worn a belt but got so excited when trying on I just ran out to shoot. Need an editor to check me looks before going to press. If you live nearby, HMU.
Cap was a gift from Josh Madden who is the kinda friend who sends you boxes at random with stuff you may like.. have any of those friends? we all should! This cap is from a College tennis team I think. In Maryland where we both spent time growing up.
Plaid flannel shirt is an old RL! The colours are just too good. I think some brands may have been inspired and you'll see a similar one or 2 soon…
Blazer is BB but I don’t see it on the site currently…I did see they have a made in USA navy db.. and I also saw J PRESS has a USA made navy db as well!!!!
3 eye lug is just such a great dressycasual footwear choice
