a tribute: jefferson hack

age appropriateness is important to a true sense of style and i hope when i'm approaching my 30s and 40s i can maintain my youthful and traditional but slightly undone aesthetic. another magazine editor-in-chief/former kate moss lover jefferson hack is perfect at mixing his rock 'n roll inspired look with a classic and modern take on menswear for man in his late 30s. he never looks under or overdressed, and yet he's always appropriate for whatever occasion. one thing that always strikes me about his style are his superb jackets and coats. they're usually military style and always in a variety of interesting colors and details. if only all of us could own such an impressive outwear collection. stand back and learn from the master of edgy and age appropriate outerwear (i would wear any of these pieces)..


i love this jacket. it's a little military and it's a lot deconstructed but paired with the simple scarf it's simple and a new classic.


this is how you pair a hoodie with a jacket and not be mistaken for a member of the strokes. it's so hard to add a scarf to a hoodie, much less with a jacket, but he makes it look effortless and i dig the muted color palette.


if i had to take a guess i would say this is dior homme and if i took another guess i would say i would give my left leg for this coat. camel coats are essential and i love how it's done military style. i'm also a fan of navy and pink with camel or sand colored accents. it's a smart look for a well dressed man.


after losing my left leg for the dior coat, i would then offer my right one for this beautiful coat. it looks comfortable and the subtle pink window pane pattern is impeccable. and yes you can wear jeans with these kinds of coats.


jefferson hack, thank you.
