As much as I am looking forward to the upcoming The Great Gatsby movie, in my heart of hearts I anticipate a stinker. Worse than the several hours of my life I'll never get back watching the movie is the damage it will do to my summer clothes closet.
Have you seen the Brooks Brothers Gatsby collection? White suits, correspondents, and skimmers will all be off limits for the next year or two while the dedicated followers of fashion get their 1930's fix on.
If you are so inclined god bless you, but remember that in the US no man, not yet old enough to collect social security, may wear a boater in public. On younger men the hat wears you, there is no getting around it.
Chickens may select their own headgear.
Which leads to today's dilemma. I wish to upgrade my summer play shoe wardrobe. All my life I've spent the summers in Topsiders or Jack Purcells, and frankly I'm tiring of them. I'm looking for something a bit more.... I found the top photo by Googling tasselled plimsolls, a bit of research later I found several great styles and affordable prices. However, all the shoes I found were readily available in the UK, and no so much on this side. So I'm seeking your advice.
Anyone have any recommendations for something similar, a favored purveyor, or more importantly warn me off if I'm heading down a bad path. Many thanks.
