What “Best-Dressed” means to you

“It means not being a slave to trends. There is a sense of authenticity and personality in your look that cannot be replicated by anyone else.”

Signature look

“Androgynous and laid-back luxe, with pieces like a pair of black skinny ripped jeans, grey cashmere tee, Chelsea boots and an oversized parka.”

One wardrobe item you can wear with anything

“My 1950s American army parka that I bought in Portland as a teenager. When paired with a simple T-shirt and jeans, it looks a little rock and roll. When you wear it over a shirt and cuffed chinos, the look is very Americana heritage. But most of all, I like the unexpected pairings, like throwing it over a tuxedo or a three-piece double-breasted suit.”

A styling trick that instantly switches up your look

“Shoes change the way you walk and move in your outfit. I like contrasting a formal outfit with casual shoes and vice versa. Life is too short for boring shoes.”
