As it's cold outside, skip the first, concentrate on the second. Fun Ivy in my wardrobe: the mid-blue Penney bucket hat with its colourful hat-band I mentioned last week; Madras shirts and shorts; seersucker (although the pink shorts I had off Dennis were worn only the once: my wife stood several paces away from me at the check-out); a 60s Paisley tie that came (originally) from Harrods'; saddle-bucks; green All-Stars; anything Argyle (my inner prep emerging from the closet)...
Look out for 3BD popover Hawaiian shirts with the bright side of the material reversed to the inside.
Ties are always good for this - spouting whales must be a classic.
A sheepskin from my granddad cut like a Gloverall Monty in a rich brown, the argyle shetland from you, camel coloured corduroy flat fronted slacks from a shop in my town, a pink Brooks shirt from a recent order, some bottle green socks, brown Paraboot Michaels...
but outside I do hardly smile, if it's that cold...
I very nearly bought that Paul Stuart tie featuring dolphins that has been hanging around on Ebay...
Whimsy is rather preppy - Jimmy would have you shot!
Ties... difficult...
A repp I can no longer get excited about.
But the horrors one sees: fat, artificial, lurid.
