I think those brothers (Churchwell?) featured on A Suitable Wardrobe look a little too much as though they just stepped out of a 1937 fashion plate. It works for them, but they are a demonstration of why "classic" style as an ideal is not all that it's cracked up to be. They have style, but their style is drawn from 70-year-old fashion trends. It won't work for everybody, nor should it.

It's not for everybody, but this forum's TTO does anachronistic pretty well.

What do you guys think about red sport coats? I have a chance to buy a muted red (sorta like dull pink) linen jacket but I'm not sure if I could pull it off.

Do it if you have your own quiz show on TV.

Too short ties, pants sagging, wrinkled suits, etc. But, he's f@ckng Bryan Ferry... dates models half his age, still makes good records and pops champagne for breakfast... so he gets a pass from me. Btw, I think both the tan linen suit and the navy cord suit are Rubinacci London House.

I appreciate this about him and I really like both of these looks. I love how he actually "wears" his clothing.

It's Lily Cole. Red-headed model.

Nice avatar :) There's a pretty cool interview for NME about making the Olympia album.
Wearing the blue cord suit, tan loafers and some... lemon yellow socks. Oh well. Mmm.. well, at least there's Kate Moss.
