I am on overload for all things menswear and fall and handsome. There are so many incredible sites that showcase the various dimensions of my aesthetic and I simply must share them with you. Although many people say that menswear is boring, I must beg to disagree with them. On the surface, a jacket might just look like any other jacket, but a skilled menswear designer pays attention to the details of their garments so that their customers will subtly stand out among other men. These details can range from the intricate staining of a brogue to the creation of a perfectly wrinkled J-shaped pant (see Geoffrey Young). All of these little design choices come together to form what we all know and love as menswear. I hope you enjoy looking at the work of these designers as much as I have. xx
Brooklyn Circus. A menswear company that mixes the staples of a classic gentleman's wardrobe with the freshness of Brooklyn street style. The store's founder, Ouigi also known as "the Bearded Man" is the epitome of what his store stands for and he endeavors to stick to a slow and steady "100 year plan" for his store.
Geoffrey Young Design. The man is a sartorial genius. He doesn't wear color but every piece of clothing that he wears is so well made that it doesn't matter. He casts his own belt buckles and hand picks his leathers for the bags and belts in his collection. Give his collection a looksy and get a peek into his phenomenal closet.
Geoffrey's perfectly worn shoe collection.
Morris. I can barely contain my enthusiasm for this brand based out of Stockholm. It is comprised of well designed preppy staples and their fall look book takes you to another world of Monegasque glory. It's definitely worth dreaming about and I highly suggest you pour over this site.
Florsheim. An American footwear brand that prides itself on extreme quality and great design. The shoes below are Duckie Brown by Florsheim which were designed by Daniel Silver and Steven Cox. Might I saw they are doing a phenomenal job. Take a look.
The merchandising in photo no. 2 is impeccable. Whoever did that should be paid the big bucks!!!
