Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

Rowing Blazers

Excellent suggestion. This is what I have so far:

Aime Leon Dore
Noah
Beams Plus
Polo Ralph Lauren
Rowing Blazers
Engineered Garments (some)

I’m finding a lot more difficulty when it comes to brands that aren’t from the US.

If you are including Polo RL, you might as well include: Brooks Brothers, J Press, and J Crew.

fair, but I think I’m looking at it in a more non-traditional sense.

nothing any of those brands don’t hold weight, but I guess I’m trying to see if I can find things that are a lot more updated/modernist in regards to styling, if that makes any sense?

 

[bry2000]

That is where I thought you were going but I view Polo as more in the camp of Brooks and J Press when it comes to prep. Either way, it is your list so compile it the way you like.

You can even include Wythe in that list. Wythe strikes me as more prep than EG (don't really see that angle with EG).

that makes a lot of sense. I’ll have to amend my list.

i’ll have to look into Wythe as well!

+ Drakes (an Englishman's perception of Ivy & prep)
+ FE Castleberry

Camoshita too, for that matter

Prep, trad, and neo-prep all somewhat bleed into each other at the borders. Depending on how you're defining this, Junior's might also fit the bill. Or, at least, they're a relatively new "trad" company that's trying to appeal to a younger crowd.

 

[NickPollica]

Do you guys have any ideas on brands that are A good fit for a prep revival aesthetic? I’m thinking things like Aime Leon Dore, Noah, and Beams Plus.

I don’t see Aime as preppy at all tbh - particularly if you’re saying polo isnt.

J Press had a line called iirc York Street that was sort of a *trad-forward* deal

at one time i had a madras popover hoodie from the collection that was interesting and good

dunno if the line still exists or if they have that sort of fashion initiative anymore

 

[K. Nights]

J Press has definitely been trying to appeal to a younger demographic recently, though they still have all the typical trad stuff as well. Seem like a smart move

The guys from Ovadia & Sons were the designers behind York Street.

When Ovadia started they were very much a youthful trad/prep brand. They made some nice stuff back then before switching gears to become a fashion forward brand.
