No brown shoe with black belt or vice-versa.

I would wear all of this. This guy only wears Polo RL and RRL.

Real People: Wearing One Label

If I had to stick to one clothing brand my entire life, it would undoubtedly be Ralph Lauren. From its mainstream Blue Label to its contemporary Black Label to its old timey RRL, what falls under the scope of “Ralph Lauren” is bigger than any other brand in history. Plus, the company just designs such great clothes.

Julien from the Netherlands wears Polo Ralph Lauren and RRL almost exclusively. For winter, he layers things such as chunky, patterned sweaters underneath work jackets and leather jackets. Workwear chinos and cargo pants get broken out often, but so does the occasional pair of corduroys. On his feet are rugged workboots, which look like they’ve been taken care of, but also have the scuffing and patina necessary to make them look not too new.

Of course, it helps that he has a great looking beard and a dog the size of a small bear, and that he lives in what appears to be paradise (that’s Rotterdam, by the way). This past year, I’ve been buying an unusual amount of RRL for a guy who has a blog called Die, Workwear!, but given that I’m a skinny, hairless grad student living with a whiny cat in the yuppie part of Oakland, I doubt I look half as good.

In any case, Julien is an oil painter and a maker of watchstraps. If you’re interested in checking out his work, you can visit his website.

Yould could always go with the Thompson. Adrin has it in Camel and I think its great for the price. Also 40% off.

Anyone have links to sites where I can get some business casual inspiration? Trying to look relaxed yet professional. Normally this means an oxford, chinos or trousers, and my suede RL Slatons or my AE Sanfords (best shoes ever - a true workhorse). I want to switch things up though but not sure how.

That old polo guy must be a hunting buddy of supermanblue. They probably have their duck whistles and rifles ready while talking about clothes.

Here's one I found. I ended up just looking up pics and going from there. Some old Details articles helped out a bit as well.

thanks man, followed

Are there any other good instagram accounts to follow? I've noticed I don't like most of the menswear bloggers accounts, a lot of them are way too trendy

Also this is exactly how I want my pants to fit, maybe a little longer but everything is on point

 

[freelythinkingmind]

Is there a NT DB IG. List?

I know Adrian and steezy got one, but I also don't want a regular NT list as I'd rather not have 500 people killing my feed with kicks,
