Vanity Fair: Think Hepburn!

Vanity Fair: Think Hepburn!

Before you ask, yes, I know that’s not a picture of Ms. Hepburn.  My girlfriend picked up a copy of November’s Vanity Fair, with a couture photoshoot entitled “Think Hepburn!”  I was sitting across the room reading another magazine, and she excitedly called me over, shouting “Look!  There’s a whole shoot of Anderson & Sheppard suits.”  I don’t have to tell you all I was over to the couch eagerly leaning over her shoulder faster than you can say drape-cut.

I’ve written a lot recently about shifting my wardrobe for fall.  The changes in fabrics, the changes in colors, &c., but I’ve ignored one of the best things about fall: the smell.

Another contributor to MensFlair, Mr. Andrew Williams (of www.bespokeme.com), wrote a little while ago about the Rope and Pagoda shoulders, two of the less common shoulders available on men’s jackets. To go back to basics for a moment, I wanted to discuss the difference a soft versus hard shoulder makes on the overall look and feel of a jacket.

Well yesterday it happened…the Savoy officially reopened for business following a massive, almost three-year-long renovation.  Sadly I’m on the wrong side of the pond to drop by and see all the changes for myself (and to be fair, I never set foot in the old Savoy), but everything I have heard has things looking magnificent.

The weather this week has been a really weird mix of hot and cold.  You know, the kind where you never know when you leave the house if you need to roll up your sleeves or pull something extra on.  Typically its too warm in the afternoons for my blood, but at night I’ve needed a pullover on hand as the temperature drops.
