This is definitely the least preppy context in which I’ve ever seen a Fred Perry shirt modeled. The suspenders and bleached hair and white socks makes the look so much more edgy than you’d think Fred Perry was capable. And on the subject of Dr. Martens, these oxfords are another great choice.

Shirt: Fred Perry
Suspenders: H&M
Jeans: Bought in Canada
Shoes: Dr. Martens

The sporty style is a great option for a comfortable, casual look that can also smooth over a huge lack of coordination. Those of us more likely found hunching over a stack of talmudic texts in our attic than throwing a baseball might benefit from adding some tennis shoes and a polo now and then. Plus it can be pretty androgynous, if that’s your thing.

Just the word “purse” makes me turn green… and I’ve been known to grow faint while walking through the Macy’s handbags section (So many tasteless patterns and fake gold buckles and satin bows… I mean who thinks that’s a good idea?) How so many cismen manage to carry all their things without a bag, I don’t know. But times have changed since Joey Tribbiani’s unisex bag cost him a job (or god forbid, made him look gay.) Here are my favorite dapper selections to fulfill your carrying needs without having to endure any purse section trauma:
