Re: School boy IVY

so aside from the crest on the blazer pocket, still a good look for a guy in his 20s or is it too costume, reminds me of plain old brooks brothers best

Pretty classic. Many Brits will dislike the look instinctively.

I think it's important not to look too fussy or fastidious, the cut should not be voluminous, the tie not too wide or thick. And no white mice or frogs in your pockets either.

You can tweak the look with the shoes: I like desert boots with navy blazer/grey trousers.

Re: School boy IVY

This would seem to illustrate one of the significant advantages of Ivy. Ditch the crest, the sweater, and maybe go for a blue, or university stripe OCBD, and this kit looks as appropriate throughout life, to many of us, as it does on a "school boy". If you agree with this, it lets us remain constant without appearing to appear as something that we are not, IE young.

Re: School boy IVY

thanks Matt, i have all the clothes in the pic (no crest on the blazer thank the goddess) and i was wondering if at 27 i would look like i was trying to hard, i like moose mans idea of switching out the shoes and your idea of a colored shirt
