I wanted to wear the other new pant I just received, a light weight light gray wool trouser. I was inspired by the great G. Bruce Boyer. I recalled a picture of him in a blue blazer with a deep green tie so I assembled as close of an outfit as I could in a hurry. I’ve written several times about Boyer and recently discussed how I would wear anything I’ve seen him in - due to my admiration for his impeccable sense of perpetual style. I love his use of subtle pieces like a pair of socks to accentuate an outfit. Always following absolutes like “socks much match trousers” and “no loafers with a suit” is well….yawn…. There are far too many examples of experts in classic timeless menswear to ignore who show the folly in these absolutes. One must first know the rules-then intentionally breaking the rules can add that element of alignment between permanent style and personal style that give an outfit character. I am no Boyer- the consummate expert of CTM,-but I do the best that I can. 1997 Royal blue MTM blazer CT French cuff PoW blue w green accent shirt Solid green grenadine silk tie Navy and green pocket square Light grey wool Samuelsohn trousers Bright blue Pantherella socks AE shell cordovan brogues in British tan Seiko Model 5 automatic
