I actually know very little about fashion. Unlike some who were gifted with a high fashion IQ, I have always relied on the genius of others to inform my dress and style. Of course I know how to pick out a striking tie or impressive shit...I just mentally borrow ideas from the fashion trailblazers before me.
Despite not being a writer of dress code, I constantly try to gather ideas that may elevate my sense of style. Whether it's a color scheme on a businessman I walk past on the sidewalk or a flawless cut of suit I see in the pages of GQ, I always have an eye out for that showstopping look.
One man I admit to borrowing from is The Sartorialist. This man is a visionary and a genius. Capturing the mundane street life of major cities, the Sartorialist handpicks the best and brightest in the game of dress. Making the individual the focus of his work, the Sartorialist champions the individualist spirit of fashion. Make it your own or borrow from others. If you are the former, you a true fashion genius.
As for me, I'll stick to the JCrew catalog.
