Oblivious Sartorialist: Fashion = Sweatpants + Cashmere

Oblivious Sartorialist: Fashion = Sweatpants + Cashmere

It’s almost adorable when the uppercrust types try to distance themselves from their evident uppercrustiness. Prime example: the Sartorialist himself, Scott Schuman. Today the fashionmeister wrote, along with this photograph:

Being stylish doesn't always mean being dressed-up.


Real life is walking the dog at 7 am, or the morning coffee run, or taking your kids to the school bus (or sometimes all three at once).

For me, I find a mix of sweat pants, nylon coat and a cashmere scarf, hat and gloves the perfect mix.

Nice try, Mr. S., but no dice! Cashmere? Silly little Sartorialist. Even if paired with sweatpants, cashmere is not a recession trend! And though this Robert character in the photograph is wearing enviously soft cashmere clothing, I doubt many would consider him a fashion icon…
