James Andrew – Linen and Louboutin – photo by Drew Villani
There is something so fresh and cool about a linen ensemble – both figuratively and literally – and that can be a big plus in the summer heat! I’ve found myself quite inspired by an image I have of the Duke of Windsor wearing espadrilles and his characteristic riot of pattern and color for a stroll in the South of France. In my ongoing efforts to maintain some degree of sartorial splendor – even on more casual days – I’ve acquired a lovely pair of Louboutin sandal/espadrilles, which lend a dressed down/dressed up kind of casual chic to any of my warm weather ensembles.
For my linen and Louboutin look I’m wearing a Tom Ford era white linen jacket and turquoise, purple, black and white linen plaid shirt, Tom Ford black linen sateen pants, vintage Pucci pocket square, Ralph Lauren purple alligator belt with sterling buckle, Louboutin sandal/espadrilles, Tom Ford “Marco” sunglasses, vintage Rolex watch, and my fragrance is Tom Ford Neroli Portofino.
