The Man's Got Style


Name: Oliver
Major: Poli-Sci
College: Revelle
Year: 4th
Spotted by: 202 bus stop on Gilman

Q: So where does a stylish guy like yourself get his fashion inspiration from?
A: Probably two places. My dad [who Oliver told us hails from the UK], and vintage style from the 50's. The Rat Pack, Cary Grant, it's all very sophisticated.

Smart-looking Pea Coat: Calvin Klein
Heather-grey Cardigan: John Smedley
Cotton button-down: H&M
Navy trousers: J Crew
Boat shoes: Sperry Topsider
Black tie: Vintage ("from my dad!")


It was very exciting to finally find a guy who deserved the title of UCSD's best dressed. And all the gents at UCSD should take notes from Oliver. His style is classic and preppy, but he has put himself together in an unmistakably modern way. He is also one of the few guys I have seen who can pull off a tie outside of the workplace. By only fastening one button of his cardigan, he ensures that he looks pulled together without looking too uptight. His black pea coat is a much more stylish choice than the typical UCSD sweatshirt that 90% of the dudes on campus wear and is perfect for those weird, sunny-but-freezing days that we've been experiencing. And the boat shoes are a surprising touch that work perfectly with his preppy/hipster vibe. Bravo!

Walk this Way

In looking at fashion, it's interesting that for a long time men have dominated the fashion industry and yet women are the main consumers. Now a lot more women are interested and pursuing fashion. Anna Sui, the Rodarte sisters, and Vera Wang are a few out of the vast number of successes that have come through to be some of the top designers this world has seen.

Let us now, in this more balanced time in fashion observe the men's fashion instead of women's for a moment. The New York Times has it's very own fashion magazine and on their website they have a threadof men's fashion where you can keep up to date. Its through the New York Times Style Magazine. I recommend it. The posts are quite charming short reads. http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/category/mens-fashion/
