Trend of the Week: Urban dandy
Prepare to channel your inner Clark Kent chaps; a/w 12 is all about the urban dandy. The look is casually upscale and distinctly fitting for our fickle clime.
Dolce & Gabbana segued dudes in Crombie coats with flat caps and cravat-style knitted scarves, while J. Crew opted for velvet doublebreasted jackets, work boots and roll up selvedge jeans. It’s all about the high-low mix – worthy of sartorial superhero.
Embrace your opposites. Pair those smart flannel trousers with a pair of Converse or slip a shawl collar cardigan over a crisp white shirt and tie. Do man bags with muscle.
Opt for a capacious weekend style instead of the nylon gym variety for your mid-week workout. The devil-ishly dapper man is in the detail.
Work a flat cap, bow tie or dandy waistcoat for added style snaps.
Dress from the outside in. A well-tailored peacoat, Crombie or double-breasted classic instantly upgrades a simple jeans and tee combo.
