Wearing Warm-Weather Whites

With Memorial Day bringing in the warm weather and the arcane rule of when wearing white, we put together an outfit for the long weekend. The five-pocket optic white chinos are from Gardeur, made from an ultra-light weight fabric and yet still looks like white denim. 

The shirt is our J. Lawrence button-down club-collar shirt made from a lightweight purple and green poplin fabric. For a bit of layering warmth, add a linen pocket crewneck sweater from Todd Snyder and a lightweight scarf. 

To reinforce the color palette, we added a green woven belt from Martin Dingman and olive suede boat shoes from Eastland’s Made in Maine collection. 

Had fun coming up with this today. Happy Memorial Day everyone!

The Strap Ankle Boot

There’s an underlying elegance in leather strap footwear: monks for instance, be they single or double convey a characteristic poise enhanced by the belt-like fastening and metal buckles. As in so many other pieces, those small details make a whole lot of difference…

While looking for a more classic boot, reminiscent of the Chelsea and versatile enough to sport with jeans, chinos or slacks, I came across this version from Carlos Santos. Perfect height sitting at the ankle, beautiful shade of brown leather, Goodyear welted soles and featuring a strap fastening that instantly caught my eye. The sleek silhouette is balanced by the metal buckles and leather straps making them appropriate for dressing up or down according to your mood or preference. The perfect allrounder that was missing from my footwear collection, these will be on heavy rotation to achieve that perfect worn in effect.

Details: herringbone cotton jacket by Boglioli, MTO Thomas Mason Bespoke shirt, white jeans by Massimo Dutti, ankle boots by Carlos Santos, vintage silk pocket square and braided leather belt and watch by Daniel Wellington.
