Sartorial Summer Etiquette

Thomas Riley of P.JOHNSON Tailors gives us an Aussie's look at sartorial summer etiquette.  Geographical differences aside, pretty much everything in this video is gospel as far as I am concerned.  I know S/S is probably the last thing on your mind right now, but I'll be damned if this this isn't a primer for a dapper summer.  Shout out to the great Ethan Desu for tipping me off to this one.

  1. I lived in Australia for several years. He makes the good observation that "Australian men tend to dress like kids", but completely misses the connection between wearing shorts with a suit jacket and the school uniforms that most Australians wear throughout their childhood. That lands him slightly lower on the sartorial awareness scale than AC DC's Angus Young.

  4. I'm just not sold on shorts with a jacket. I love Thomas' jacket in the video though. Nice light grey.

  5. living in Australia, this a great. was growing tired of reading about winter when its 40 degrees celsius (104 F)
    as for the shorts and a blazer, its better than board shorts and a tee.
    dont knock progress.

  7. The jackets are really nice. Great tips for some summer looks, although I don't think I can pull off a jacket and some shorts.

  8. Thanks for sharing the tips. I'm sure all of these look great. I guess it also depends on how you carry your outfits and confidence is a total booster.
