As a Brazilian, I am taking inspiration from a very interesting time in our history. In the 60s we had this musical movement called Bossa Nova, which mixed samba and jazz and is full of elegance. Musicians at that time lived a bohemian life in tropical cities. The style of they clothes reminds me of the Italian Riviera style, with Latin and tropical touches. Light colors, short sleves sometime, wide lapel, pocket shirts. Check it out the references, it worth.

The academic look is my favorite. As a teacher, I already wear similar items.

Skyfall is the film that got me into classic Mens attire and at a personal level changed my life. It was my life template, because the core of the film, it really is about a man, who is a wreak getting back not just as good as before, but better. Before the film took me, I was early 30's wearing hoodies, cargo trousers, trainers, didn't wear a watch (just used the phone for the time), had messy hair, unkept beard and was also overweight.

I don't know how the film done it, as I disliked it on first viewing but over the years it grew on me. From that film, I became obsessed at first with the watch, then a bit later the Barbour wax jacket and Crockett & Jones Boots. I even got myself to the gym twice to three times a week just to use the running machine, like in Skyfall that helped me lose a couple of stone and get back into shape. I can't think of another film where I desire at least 10 items of clothing like the suits, Tux, boots, jackets, jumpers, watches as well as how to repair myself and conduct myself as an adult man. A life changing film.

I really hate to see how I would look now if the film didn't inspire me to get into shape, get regular haircuts and dress better. Probably an obese slob in a hoodie looking like The Comic Book Guy in the Simpsons.

For me, I prefer the "Academic" and "Country" style. I really do love my Barbour Bedale waxed jacket, it's a staple of my fall/winter wardrobe. I also love wearing the flat cap that I bought on my honeymoon in Ireland. It pairs perfectly with my Barbour jacket.

Bravo 🎈 To setting an example by adjusting your clothing as you also show pictures of the different style approaches

I describe my personal style as “blue money” – blue-collar old money. It’s all about balancing Americana workwear with old money style. Here’s an example outfit: brown leather loafers, khaki chinos, light blue chambray shirt and an olive green field jacket. Here’s another one: Redwing chukka boots, dark wash blue jeans, blue and white striped Oxford cloth button-down and gray patch pocket sportcoat

The classic style of 40 years ago
Is returning 👌🏽😎

This was fun cause men could pick and choose from all or several looks. Sure would never get boring!

[jorisvanoeffel]

I personally love the academic, or airless bit dandy.

Some good tips here. I definitely agree with you that a tweed jacket is a fantastic choice. I consistently wear a brown or a grey tweed jacket. Unlike a blazer, they are wrinkle resistant and more flexible in my opinion.

I've worn that pair of Crockett & Jones Islay boots for the last few years, wear a flat cap daily in the winter, love texture, and wear a lot of brown, charcoal and olive. I live in the US Midwest though, had no idea I was accidentally recreating the Old Money Country vibe! I've have to check out those barbour jackets.

[garysmith]

Country style definitely old money look for me.

You missed one! The Aviator aesthetic ✈️🙌🏾

Western or English Country. Western allows great hat choices and accessories, boots, belts, bolo ties, etc.

I wonder if any celebs will be sporting a 40s-look fedora at the Oscars this year. Personally, I would love to see men's formal hats come back.

County gentleman. Tweed broge's knit wear and flat caps or fedora. Fits my style. cheers Ron

Congratulations! You show care about what you post.

Since I am a classically trained pianist and love reading (due to my thirst of knownledge), I basically mixed Old Money with Dark Academia and made my own style that I wear all year, except summer when I mostly wear Nautical due to the hot temperatures. Fragrances I recommend for Academic OM are Dior Fahrenheit (both EDT and Parfum), Azzaro Pour Homme EDT, and a more affordable, quite popular one, Lattafa Khamrah.

These looks are timeless & can stay in your rotation forever.
