The Style At Radnor Hunt Races 2013

Reply
radnor hunt races

Yesterday was a grand day, in fact one of the best days of the year.  Year after year.  The occasion was the 83rd Radnor Hunt Races.  The day’s festivities surround 6 horse races, both literally and also more figuratively.  Both inside and outside the circular track thousands of tailgaters assembled in various forms of glory.  The day is much more tame than the Far Hills Hunt that occurs every fall; thankfully for the Mother Land’s sake.  Aside from the horse racing and general revelry, the other point of the day is to benefit The Brandywine Conservancy. Anyway, more along the lines … Continue reading →

Things I Wear: Mother’s Day Brunch

Reply
blue linen pants

It is our family tradition to do brunch out at our club, this year was no different.  I won’t step foot in the clubhouse wearing anything without a collar on, but on days like today a jacket and tie are called for.  Not only because the event is a more formal one, but more importantly to show respect and appreciation toward the most important lady in my life, Mother Dearest (who was also nice enough to take these photos). The weather was a cool 60, but the skies were clear.  I do love weather like this, however, it is not … Continue reading →

Celebrity Style Gone Wrong: Justin Bieber, Part I

7

Please, you knew this was coming.  And yeah, I’m going to be critical about it (skip to the last 3 paragraphs if you just want to hear me rant). In a sartorial catastrophe that seems to have hit nearly ever major and minor publication Justin Bieber has concocted one of the most successful PR stunts of all time.  Now, whether that was his intention or not is not for me to opine on.  But I shall opine on his outfit, which is offensive for any occasion at any time of the year except Halloween.  It is worse than Ricky Fowler … Continue reading →

how to wear a kilt

A few weeks back I covered they style The Hunt in Far Hills, NJ.  Shortly thereafter, Quest Magazine contacted me asking to use some of my photos and I obliged.  The November issue (which also happens to be the 25th anniversary issue) was just released and my photos can be found on pages 174-175.  Or, you can always pick up the new edition at various outlets around NYC. Enjoy Liberally, JLJ … Continue reading →

Parke & Ronen S/S 2013 Show

Reply

Historically known for its bathing suits (with short inseams) Parke & Ronen has spent the past few seasons expanding its line.  Continuing along that trend for spring/summer 2013 it is.  And from my discussion with Parke Lutter and Ronen Jehezkel before the show that is where the plan to go in future seasons as well.  A logical move, for one cannot survive solely off of bathing suits. Anyway, I’ve liked their bathing suits since I first saw them a few years back, as I am a big fan of bathing suits with short inseams.  Although admittedly, most of the stuff … Continue reading →

Randoms From Fashion’s Night Out

1

Last night New York was abound with hordes of well dressed men and women.  None other than Anna Wintour’s brainchild Fashion’s Night Out could justify such excess.  The uptown scene was far favorable to the immature masses congregating down in Soho.  It reminded me a bit of Broad Street in Philadelphia right after the Phillies won the world series; that was a hell of a night.  Whereas then people were celebrating the epic gloriousness of a great team and great city.  Last night people were mostly just loitering; in Soho at least.  Worse even, it was so bad that I … Continue reading →

Things I Wear, XVI

Reply

If you’ve been following me on Twitter you’ve quite possibly noticed that I decided to try to bring back Seersucker Thursday, as the tradition was ended this year.  How do I plan to do so, you may ask.  To wear seersucker for the remaining few weeks of summer (and if I happen to be in the southern regions of this great land over the winter).  I wanted to keep things classic and fun, which should be a given with seersucker… I chose a pink seersucker pant from Murray’s Toggery/Berle to anchor the outfit.  Atop that a white linen button down … Continue reading →

Loafers. Pennies & Pounds.

Reply

As I was perusing the shops and galleries of the Promised Land yesterday I couldn’t help but take notice when I saw this gent’s shoes.  Although not all that uncommon for one to put coins in their strapped loafers (also referred to as penny loafers), US pennies are the most common choice and extra points if they are from your year of birth.  But I have rarely (perhaps never) seen two different coins used.  On the right foot, a British pound and on the left a Canadian penny.  Just another take on things and for what it’s worth; I like … Continue reading →

Style At The Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic

IMG_1390

It was all there; those who dressed well, those who dressed really well, those who tried to dress well and those who did not dress well.  But a pleasure to see all, it certainly was.  As it was a pleasure to relax, talk and meet both friends of new and old.  The day was a grand one and luckily the weather was nearly flawless; as rain and clouds were predicted to ruin the day.  But admittedly, the polo match seemed to be an afterthought for some people there.  Predictably, the style on display was at the forefront of my mind… … Continue reading →

Things I Wear, XI

1

As I stated yesterday I felt like taking a vacation of sorts.  Mentally I could but unfortunately, physically I could not.  Part of what helped me mentally was dressing down.  So I decided to dress somewhere between business casual and casual.  The trousers and button down shirt are much in the casual realm of things so I used the dress loafers and belt to up the formality ever so slightly.  I didn’t want to take things too seriously so I opted for my mock field watch from my beloved Murray’s Toggery with a navy blue nylon strap.  Continuing along this … Continue reading →
