Rules of Men’s Dress


All style is relative.  Some people will disagree with what this blog dictates is good style, and this blog would most likely disagree with them on what they think is good style.  As you can imagine, this results in a situation in which there is no single list of men’s dress rules that are comprehensive and absolute.  The following are a set of rules that The Fine Young Gentleman stands by.  There are some rules that are immutable, such as the one that a man should match the metal of the bit on his loafer with the buckle on his belt with the metal on his suspenders with the buttons on his blazer with the metal of his cufflinks.  Then there are some rules that have exceptions, such as the rule that a man’s socks should match the color of his pants.  The Fine Young Gentleman’s rules are derived from a variety of sources including tradition, classic rules of men’s dress, common sense and personal taste.

Is there anything Marc Newson hasn’t designed? As we sat in the Design Museum in London’s Shad Thames on a humid summer evening, perched on the Jetson-style Orgone chairs he knocked up in 1993, surrounded by the latest in a series of G-Star Raw jeans collections he has rolled out every season for 10 years, with the man of the hour wearing said collection and a watch he designed for Jaeger-LeCoultre, it seemed an obvious question.
