The trick to looking dapper is don’t look like you’re trying to be dapper. Japanese clothing label Deluxe hold this sentiment close. Throughout the past three years they’ve been developing a style that ranges from super book smart with a street smart flavour to high end ‘guy who goes to the Park Hyatt Tokyo for a tipple on a regular basis’. The range includes jackets, shirts, pants, and accessories that we can guarantee most .jp cool kids (and soon you) are wearing.
Their latest range, Birth Of The Cool summons the 50s through metropolis, featuring blazers, dockside parka’s, desert boots called Chevy, and of course, the humble adjustable bow tie. These bow ties come in classic grey, olive green, denim blue, and camo.
Guys, wear one of these instead. Ladies, wear these with your blouses. Mojo the monkey would cream his pants for these. Look dapper without looking like you’re trying.
