    In regards to her look, this blog was started in order to pay homage to prep trad while expanding its visual landscape. I believe this look alludes to that. It’s sophisticated yet still casual. The small tear in her hose above her knee is endearing…it shows nonchalance.

    She is very cute I can date her.

    She is cute.

    Her whole ensemble seems Bohemian chic. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that one of her style icons must be Stevie Nicks.

  • Caulfield Preparatory SS10

    Style  

    Caulfield Preparatory is a new contemporary menswear brand playing up unique off-beat details such as signature half sleeve silhouettes on their button down shirts and henleys. The Spring 2010 collection hits stores starting at the end of the month featuring swim shorts, lightweight knits, scarves, beanies and other nautical-inspired casual wear. Though usually not one for graphic tees, I love their white whale tee reminiscent of freshman biology 101 (and if you haven't noticed, thick plastic frames have surfaced amidst this ivy league fashion resurgence). The airy color palette in their look book has me all aboard for summer. Caulfield Preparatory is available nationwide at Bloomingdales, revolveclothing.com, Ron Herman, American Rag and Holt Renfrew to name a few. Spring ahoy!

    anybody know where i could get that peacoat. The rest of the stuff is nice, but that peacoat would be a very important part of my weekend attire for football games during october and january.

    Looks like the line has some nice pieces.


    Graham left a comment on 1/27/2010 at 1:48 PM:

    Nice stuff. Not anything I would call remotely preppie as far as I can see, but it has the spirit and there are some nice pieces. The peacoat and the scarf look good.

    Agreed: the eggplant tights are key and the boots are what do it for me.

    Love the contrast of the monochromatic all black look with the purple tights. Ace.

    Nice suit and all, but what an awesome head of hair on the guy.  Totally jealous here.

    love he green…beautiful

    I’m diggin’ that suit…and the car…and the tie. You need to have a certain swagger about you to pull off that look without seeming to try hard.


    DAM left a comment on 1/27/2010 at 10:15 AM:

    That is the most ridiculously amazing suit.


    F.E. Castleberry left a comment on 1/27/2010 at 12:31 AM:

    Notice the cuffs…they are making a case for themselves after all this trousers-sans-cuffs talk.  Honestly, the decision is a personal/style one.


    worthless tripe left a comment on 1/26/2010 at 3:28 PM:

    The car looks like a Citroen DS, named by Top Gear as the most beautiful car ever.


    Christian Bourasseau left a comment on 1/26/2010 at 2:24 PM:

    I really like this picture. It’s amazing. Everything’s perfect here!

    I believe he is wearing a Brotally shirt underneath that oxford.


    brooke left a comment on 1/25/2010 at 8:09 PM:

    Alex Beh is heroic.


    Graham left a comment on 1/25/2010 at 5:56 PM:

    Is that his car? That’s what makes this shot. As for the suit, it’s such a statement that it will always divide opinion. He wears it well, though.

    I agree with jack - perhaps an egg white tie to pick up on the green suit with what appears to be navy piping on the lapel would have worked better. However, I have never seen a green suit done like this before and it has definitely made me reconsider colored suits.

    Love the green. Love.

    Wow, great shoes, glasses and suit. I kind of wish the tie was a different set of colors, but very well put together overall.
