Cary Grant and Summer buisness.

Sorry about the absence yesterday, Blogger wasn't uploading pictures, and I just left this unposted.

Cary Grant is everyone's style hero, and while he is best remembered for the simple, straightforward black tie, gray suit, he was not afraid to experiment. Let us not forget that he has been credited with the creation of "business casual" by, I believe, no man less than Bruce Boyer - who said it was, perhaps, that moment in Monkey Business when Grant slips out of a suit jacket and into a cardigan at work.


The light gray suit is a summer classic, especially with boutonnière. Perhaps better for spring, especially when double breasted, but for the cool day of summer. Try to ignore the yellow couch.



Another summer classic - the khaki suit. Of course, Jimmy Page would look classy that close to Audrey Hepburn...


The summer sweater- for casual days, or very unbusinesslike business. Especially with those socks.


And another classic. I meant Cary Grant's outfit. Light, loose pants, dark sport coat. Unbuttoned shirt.
