Also 2020s winter weekend wear
ReplyDeleteAll of these items are wonderful to wear today!
ReplyDeleteLove the photograph! A few of these items, or ones in the same constellation, comprise my own at-home wardrobe following the usual change of clothes Monday through Friday and during weekends. Interestingly, my Pennsylvania-North Carolina family members all dressed like this in cooler weather although the words prep, preppy, ivy, and trad were never used. Who knew?

Love it - just about all of these items will be popular for decades!
ReplyDeleteClassics all of them!
ReplyDeleteMIA: cotton turtlenecks, chamois flannel, Bean field coat with the button-in insulated liner. The latter two are still staples for me.
ReplyDeleteAndrew hit the nail on the head. We have worn ( in the 80's) many of he items pictured. I agree that adding turtlenecks, chamois and the Bean Field Coat, round out the list.
DeleteThis was and still is the real deal! It runs parallel to currently driving a Volvo 240DL wagon…classics never go away since they are built to last! Vive le Volvo!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you raid my closet?! The Classics -- timeless. Thank you for this photo!
ReplyDeleteNice photo! Could use a good pair of Orvis wool pants in that kit.
ReplyDeleteOCBD over a popped top Lacoste or Bean turtleneck, and under one of those sweaters shown. JDV
ReplyDeleteWell, I have six of them....but I'm not going to say which!
ReplyDeleteSolid choices then, and still so today! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAdd the LLB navy blue birds eye sweater and couple of pink turtlenecks (pink for the women, white for men)
ReplyDeleteSome of your more mature readers may have also worn this in the '70s with the OG Abercrombie down vest in place of the Patagonia.
ReplyDeleteI have all that swag; everyone in my family does, as well. Pop your collars!!!
ReplyDeleteFlannel shirt and a Norwegian sweater in the eighties indeed . Guilty as charged ...
ReplyDeleteAmen Guestie--Pop those collars!! Merry Christmas everyone. Here's to keeping it old school....
ReplyDeleteYep, my 80s working casual wardrobe! Actually...still my wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteLots of good things. A bit strange when people wear them all together though.
ReplyDeleteIt was a little cliché 40 years ago. Times to change graduall.
It might be fun to check out Bill NIghy's tips on men's fashion via youtube. He is always so beautifully dressed and has some very minimal, practical ideas on what it takes to be well dressed.
ReplyDeleteTartan flannel -lined LLB jeans.....
ReplyDeleteAll four years of college in New England. Not so mush since moving to Tampa, FL after.
ReplyDeletegood content
ReplyDeleteBean's Flannel-lined Baxter State Parka was a campus Winter staple and still in my closet along with newer "technical" jackets. Still my favorite choice!
ReplyDeletethe best coat EVER
DeleteMine was powder blue; had it for years until it got replaced in ‘89 by an Eddie Bauer take on the Baxter Park. Still wearing it.
DeleteWhen asked what she thought of the state after four years of college in Vermont a friend said, “your feet are always wet!”
ReplyDeleteHigh School Class of 83 checking in. Beans Norwegian Sweater was a go to for all the cool kids.
