Here are a few pieces on the topic of style, including fashion, history, and interior decor
I invoke Grandpa as inspiration because his was a generation that didn’t separate art and culture from the everyday. Their utilitarian areas, banks and post offices, boasted marble-clad walls adorned with paintings, proving art and pragmatism can be inextricable. They grew up on Bugs Bunny’s antics as the foreground to Chopin’s and Wagner’s music, proving culture and boyhood fun co-exist splendidly.
As the summer of America’s 250th birthday approaches, remember that J. Press is as foundational to American style as Walter Camp is to US gridiron football; as canonical to New England vesture as James Fenimore Cooper is to the American novel. Like Walt and Jimmy, J. Press is a Yalie.
I've worn many models, and I've found Line of Trade's Waxed Ranch Jacket to be one of the most high-value in the market. Here's my take.

When I think of the classic rugby shirt, I don’t think of the splash it’s made at Fashion Weeks in recent years. For me, it’s about matches at Twickenham, Six Nations season (the most wonderful time of the year), and how the rugger iconifies my own Transatlantic customs.

I tested a full lineup of Charles Tyrwhitt's linen gear-shirts, shorts, the works. Here's what held up in the heat and what surprised me most.

In any rivalry, who comes out on top often depends on context, circumstance, and personal preference. Between linen and cotton shirting, consider the following.
Technically, “Old Money” means someone who inherits wealth instead of generating it for themselves. Still, this doesn’t account for the actual style of the “old money aesthetic” we’re seeing on social media. Hollywood nepo babies have a different style than, say, the Cavendish family does.
