Wish List - Izod Lobster Shorts

Essential.

My "Dad Outfit"

I've been told I dress very well for my age. I suppose I should take that as a compliment, given the how most twenty-four year old guys dress. I've also been told I dress like an "old rakish gent," or an "old man", in general. I certainly take those remarks as compliments, given how my father inspires the way I dress. From my childhood I remember him wearing tasseled kilties everywhere. In fact, on the weekends he would wear outfits just like this - a cardigan or rugby layered over a sport shirt, madras shorts and his beat up kilties. Call such an outfit trendy and trad, I don't care. To me, this is simple, timeless, American style.

Cardigan - Merona marled cotton - Target clearance sale, $8

Shirt - Polo cotton/silk blend - eBay, $12

Shorts - vintage bleeding madras - thrift shop, $3

Shoes - vintage Florsheim Barletta - thrift shop, $1

How has your father inspired your style?

I urge you all to check out these oxford shorts. If I didn't already own every color, I'd be picking them up today. Like Polo's oxford shirts, these shorts are very durable and only get softer with each washing. Dillard's is offering an additional 30-40% off clearance items today, and it's the perfect time to stock up on essentials. 

And no, I'm not being endorsed to share this. It's just a damn good sale.
