If you want to see what a real gentleman looks like – come to England. It is here that the breed of male individuals are full of dignity from hair roots to boots.
How the Englishman differs from everyone else?
If you take a walk in the center of London, then it seems that it is exclusively a male city. Being an officially recognized world capital of male fashion, this city gives a clear preference to the tailor’s service of gentlemen, and by no means a lady.
By jackets in London, you can recognize foreigners, in particular Russian tourists, as for T -shirts, jeans and sandals, this is a privilege of green youth or completely bohemia. Even the most expensive cashmere jumper does not have the right to appear “in presence”, this is an outfit “leisure” – and only!
What is included in the Gentleman wardrobe?
Consider the gentleman from head to toe. Let’s start – with shoes.
Real English shoes are a strong solid skin, sewing by handful plus traditions. Unlike weightless Italian pins, the English boot will be heavier and resembles a “casting” of precious to the brilliance of polished wood.
The highest quality men’s shoes are the famous brand “Cherchz”, which translates as “church”. The shoes of this brand cost an average of about 300-400 dollars, never go out of fashion and make up the gold fund of the classic wardrobe of respectable men. However, there are even more refined shoe oases in London. Atelier “John Lobb” on St. James – Street, whose age is calculated for two centuries, is considered the best in the world for sewing shoes. Lobba shoes cost the customer at least 1.5-2 thousand dollars, and moreover, the execution of the order has to wait more than six months!
A few words about costumes.
Without trying to stand out from the crowd, the Englishman nevertheless prefers the mass sewing of an individual tailor. On the glorified by his tailor, Savvil Rau can be spent on a costume just indecently rabid amount. But this costume is assured, it will not be demolition and it sits like a glove! It is known that Elton John, MiG Jagger and even Bitles, sewed on Savil Rau at Tommy Natter. “Jivis and Hokis” – Nelson and Wellington.
The British adore twid. He also never goes out of fashion, is considered a symbol of British elegance and looks a thousand dollars. Meanwhile, the excellent jacket of Harris tweed is in the store “Bolders and Ko” “total” $ 160 ..
The best shirts, according to rumor, are sold on Jermin Street and – here are sewn to order. As already noted, the British avoid dark, bright and checkered shirts. Preference is given to white and pastel. At the same time, a white shirt with a bright tie is not a festive outfit at all, but ordinary.
In general, it is extremely difficult to talk about fashion in relation to the English gentleman, because the essence of this gentleman is not in the novelty, but in traditions ..
