The RRL
- The creativity of layering in three layers with a sort of denim hoodie, a “lumberjack shirt”-style checkered overshirt and a military-inspired green vest. Note the verticality provided by the cords
- The very wise choice of camel chinos and not beige for example. Indeed, the colors at the top are quite warm and saturated and camel is the right shade to continue in this spirit
- The very right shade of the derby (Red Wing once again), reminiscent of the overshirt and the hat
LOOK 3 - A CLASSIC AND ORIGINAL OUTFIT
What I like about this outfit: showing that you can make a rather original workwear outfit without resorting to strong colors or very elaborate layering.
This is an opportunity for me to tell you about the Deck Jacket, a jacket worn by US Navy sailors, and to show you a pair of jeans that is truly unlike any other, probably inspired by work pants.
LOOK 4 - SOFT WORKWEAR
What I like about these two Universal Works outfits: a different vision of workwear with more fluid, softer, sometimes woolen materials. I call this style soft workwear , as an extension of soft tailoring :
I also find that the color choices of the two outfits are interesting:
- On the right we have a shades of brown
- On the left we have a more constructed outfit in contrast, notably with the red bandana and the white sole of the shoes
LOOK 5 - A COWBOY IN THE CITY
What I like about this outfit:
- The creative and quite unique style proposition that you either love or hate
- These pants ( Ralph Lauren ) with a volume that we're really not used to seeing
- The style balance between the pants and the shirt , and more specifically the fact that both pieces have details that make them slightly dressy
BONUS LOOK - TAILORING VERSION OVERALLS
I came across this look after filming the video, too bad! But I still want to show it to you.
What I like: the clever integration of overalls into a dressy silhouette . Shirt, tie, shoes and sports jacket are there.
The success of this outfit lies in the style register (materials, colors) of the pieces associated with the overalls.
The world of tailoring is wide, and this gentleman understood what to draw from it.
He stayed away from the formal wardrobe that could be described as "office", made up of clothes with smooth materials.
He drew on a style register more inspired by English tailoring ( gentleman farmer or Peaky Blinders if you prefer) with pieces of character: tweed jacket, brown tie, half-chest derby .
These slightly more "country" style clothes fit quite naturally with these blue denim overalls.
Does this concept of dressy overalls appeal to you? So go see this article, I show another one:
