Think Pink

For some reason, the S/S sales at Bergdorf seem to put us in a very pink mood. Two years ago, it was the infamous fuchsia pants. This year, it was this lovely coral linen number by Simon Spurr:


We decided to forego the bloom, opting instead for a crisp white shirt; a raw silk bow tie in jewel tones; a pocket square in Persian green with large orange dots; silver silk mohair trousers; and cognac benchmades. We had never tried the Spurr label before, and were delighted to find that we could buy it right off the rack, without any alterations whatsoever - the length and the sleeves were perfect, as well as the fit. Our next mission: to find pale green and pale yellow linen trousers to wear with this for the rest of the summer.

  3. Coral is fab, but lets me frank about it. Its fashionable for a blink of the eye and then it just looks dated.

    Sounds like your superior sense of fashion won out, as it should!

  4. With your personal style and flair, I doubt very much it will ever look dated on you.
