A lot of the time, we base pieces of our own style on some odd sources:
- Jeff: home interiors & womenswear
- Seth: story & foreign culture
- Cam: the outdoors & historic events
Tuesday's Inspiration: Tommy Ton's Street Style from New York Fashion Week 2011
We were checking out GQ's coverage of New York Fashion Week, and we noticed some diverging opinions between us. Seth was drawn to more textured items: tweed blazers, knit cardigans, wool slacks, leather gloves, camel hair overcoats—all pretty posh British and woodsy, maybe accented with a splash of color. I (Jeff), on the other hand, was all about the experimental shit: puffy coats, bright primary colors, leather belts cinched around trench coats, cuffs and high hems everywhere.
Here's one that stood out to both of us:

ABOUT: You might not have camel hair sport coat in your closet, but I happened to thrift one last year for 6 bones on a whim.
WHY: I've been exploring different ways to wear it and this is one avenue sans oxford cotton button down.
WHY THIS LOOK WORKS: It's a good balance of neutrals, texture and style. The neutral black denim and fun striped tee are broken up by the brown and copper belt, which creates a unique contrast. In the meantime, the worn wool cardigan tames the stripes topped off with a soft camel color. The camel-hair sport coat adds an element of softness while tying back the brown belt with the wooden buttons on the coat.
INSPIRATION: The camel hair blazer was a trend for womenswear this past fall, and I wanted in on the neutral action. That was part of my inspiration even while rocking it this past fall and winter.
Nudie Jeans "Thin Finn" dry, coated, black denim during winter sale for $75 from Standard Style; The Jones Store for Men camel hair blazer thrifted, $6; Grey cardigan thrifted, $2; J.CREW men's leather belt during winter sale, $3; American Apparel Striped Tee, $40.
