Unabashedly Prep

  • Preposterously Dandy

    Miscellany  

    Photograph by Tec Petaja for Billy Reid

    I am smitten with this photograph. It’s brilliant...inspiring. A preposterously dandy marriage between New England’s ubiquitous influence on Prep style and southern comfort. Billy Reid serves up this Southern sentiment in his bi-annual menswear collections that range from comfortably handmade suits and jackets to khakis that will outlive us all.



    “I was raised in the South and I live in the South. So I guess my clothes do have that vibe.”    —Billy Reid

    Kat—Billy Reid’s fall/winter collection headed towards a southern backwoods/sticks direction.  It’s very Alabama…and slightly hipster with the addition of the beards.

    i love the southern-influenced suiting.  when i look at that collection, i think it looks very high-class hipster.  maybe it’s all the beards that are throwing me off? smile

    I, too, fell madly & deeply in love with this photograph.  It made me believe in love at first sight all over again.
