Style runs in my family. My older brother is no exception.
Man of Style on the blog today is brother John, who showed up to family dinner this past weekend sporting 3 of Fall’s hottest masculine trends: layering of differing hues of greys, military and the knit blazer. A five o clock shadow, disheveled hair, tastefully distressed medium blue jeans and cool sneakers add to his rugged yet sophistocated Northwest look he has down pat.
I have watched John develop an easy personal style in his post-college years that really works for him. He was able to say goodbye to his beloved band touring tshirts (at least outside of his apartment) and Abercrombie cargo pants for a more mature look. I see him enjoy participating in the big world of fashion in his own way and I applaud him for taking style risks while always managing to look comfortable and like himself. Not every twenty-something Star Wars and video game loving guy would know how to layer up a top-stitched knit blazer in a monochromatic neutral palette, pair it back to his favorite relaxed jeans and make it all look so effortlessly wearable.
Well played, John.
