JFK

Posted by Lance Miller On October - 30 - 2009

JFK’s casual sophistication revolution!

 John Fitzgerald “Jack” Kennedy (May 29, 1917 - November 22, 1963), typically referred to by his initials JFK, is a style icon.

JFK is responsible for changing the way men dress across the world. He introduced ‘casual sophistication’ into the white house, and later across the world.

JFK’s signature Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Check out the blue socks! Nice!

JFK’s signature two-button blazers with roughed-up hair. Ps. Why is the bottom button of the blazer closed?

In the next photo we see JFK at his wedding wearing a pocketsquare and a boutonnière. According to the etiquette, either one of the two should be worn at weddings. Not both. But JFK is our man, so we can deal with it! :)

JFK portrait; what style pocketsquare is that? Two-tip?

    I think he should wear an helmet !

    Seriously the real genious of the Kennedy family was the father, a “godfather” like in the Coppola movie ; he used to say : “most important is not what you are, but what people think you are !”

    @ Bertie: okay interesting about the father… we’ll be sure to make a Suitorialist of him….
    and if a helmet was fashionable, JFK could still enrich us with his personality and style…too bad…

    @ Karl: indeed, his Harvard degree fits his style seamlessly….

    @ Bertie: Why a helmet? You don’t like the coupe?

    @ RJ: Why the Twitter questions bro? BTW: did you guys hear about the getting together of YouTube, facebook and Twitter? They are going to call it: http://www.YouTwitFace.com

  11. Eric Said,

    JFK’s Blazer is cut with a higher than normal button stance for a two button coat. It is cut in the paddock model according to Will from a suitable wardrobe.
