Neckwear, Why Not Tie On A Classic Bow Tie?

By Douglas Harrington
November 12, 2009

Neck to waist for a formal event or a business meeting we grab the tie off a high-end, mechanized rolling tie rack or a simple wooden hanger where we have draped our silk nooses. I enjoy wearing a tie, and with an appropriate pocket square there is nothing that so completes a suit or says more about the man that wears it. 2 comments

By Douglas Harrington
November 1, 2009

I'll admit it, with the exception of a very formal event, most of us guys can make it through an entire Hamptons summer in the same pair of Sperry Topsiders. These classic boat shoes are proper with a blazer and a pair of jeans or chinos and a polo or Oxford shirt at most casual summer fetes.

Brrrrr! Sweater Weather Is Upon Us, Ode To The Turtleneck

By Douglas Harrington

A Celt by lineage, I play golf throughout the winter as long as the greens are not covered in snow. That being said, I do need a bit more than an Izod polo shirt and my Brooks Brothers navy blazer when the winter winds blow through the Hamptons. It is sweater weather my friends and I could not be happier.

Classic Hamptons Fashion And Manners

October 15, 2009

My fashion de rigueur can pretty much be summed up in two words - Brooks Brothers, particularly in the spring and summer. I am a traditionalist and, if I may be so bold as to mix metaphors, I am proud to be well mannered in my attire. Allow me to elaborate. 1 comment

If the prevalence of neon colored apparel on the beaches and around town this summer hasn't been enough to tip you off, I'll just come out and say it: certain '80s styles are coming back with a vengeance.

Real Men Do Wear 'Pink'

August 17, 2009

In a world where the logos on Ralph Lauren's polo shirts seem to be getting bigger and more conspicuous each year (I think now they're roughly the size of Andre the Giant's hand print) and the marks of other luxury manufactures like Chanel, Gucci, Coach and Louis Vuitton have become so ubiquitous as to be readily identifiable to neophytes in the fashion world, one must ask where will this trend end?

The Lowdown On Sunglasses

July 28, 2009

One thing that seems to constantly come up whenever the subject of sunglasses arises, is whether they are "real" or "fake." There seems to be two camps supporting two different schools of thought on whether it actually matters that your shades cost $20 or $200.

Mini Mokes - 'The Little Engine That Could'

July 19, 2009

If you're looking for the perfect beach car this summer that gets amazing gas mileage, can be built to order and is guaranteed to turn more heads than something twice the price, then Ryan Pilla has exactly what you're looking for: a custom built Mini Moke. 5 comments

After Shave: Doling Out Hamptons Style In Real Time

July 2, 2009

I so often get asked by friends living in the city for advice on what to wear, where to go and what to do in the Hamptons sometimes I feel like I'm running a personal concierge service...

Event Chic: Don't Dress For Success, Dress To Impress

June 17, 2009

Fashion can be a funny thing here in The Hamptons. One would think that in a place known for luxurious second homes, star-studded galas and airs of elegance, outfits would be suitably upper-crust. But as anyone who has spent a summer out East can tell you, this isn't the case.

May 14, 2009

It's a look that fits in perfectly whether you're scribbling away in a Moleskin at a coffee house in SoHo or walking the streets of Southampton in the spring. Despite the fact you appear indifferent about your look, cultivating a distinctly dishabille style does take a little thought and the right clothes.
