How to Wear Tweed

gpap photo1 500x666 How to Wear Tweed

Worn right, tweed looks hip and modern.  This man’s subtle mustache, layering and tweed jacket is what caught my eye.  With paper in pocket, to pass the time, he spent his afternoon selling a friend’s artwork on the steps of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Love these colors together!  Like many fashionable seniors out there, this man was surprised when I asked to take his photo.  His reply was, “I never spend a lot of money on clothes.”  Well who says you need to spend a lot of money to look great?

November was a sluggish month for our blog but December is bringing out some doozies! These pants are genuine ’70s vintage, paired with a billowy turtleneck in matching beige. A cozy outfit for record-cold Vancouver weather.

I was looking through some pictures from earlier this month and lo and behold, I found him, this amazing man, who so perfectly embodies the spirit of Johnny Cash. It was Remembrance Day and this is truly the best November 11th outfit I have ever laid eyes upon.
