Southwick Suit and Alden Tassel Loafers
This morning I met with a local chap to discuss the market. He makes infrequent appearances on CNBC. In the rare candid photo (above), I am wearing a two-button, undarted navy flannel chalk stripe suit from Southwick and a pair of black Alden tassel loafers.

Tassel Loafers: Shoes of the Counter-Revolution
"In France, the tasseled loafer makes its own peculiar political statement. John Vinocur, the executive editor of The International Herald Tribune, said that the shoes were worn, actually flaunted, by young rightists in the mid-1980's who wished to demonstrate their distaste for the Socialist Government...To them, the preppiness of the shoe represented American prosperity and free-market conservatism. Thus, it became part of the battle uniform of the young soldier of la contre-revolution."The Politicization of Tassel Loafers, Neil A. Lewis, New York Times, 03/11/93

Bermuda Shorts and Tassel Loafers
Around this time of year my thoughts turn to warm weather. And that means shorts. Bermuda shorts in colours such as pink, red, light blue, and lime green go well with plain white polo shirts or OCBDs. I pair them with boat shoes or flip-flops for summer. Bermuda shorts and tassel loafers are two of my favourite things. But unlike the gentleman in Bermuda in the photo (above), I rarely wear them together. And never with socks and a navy blazer.
