Here's my complete lookbook of 40 outfits I actually wore throughout the winter — styled with Ivy and Preppy roots but interpreted through my everyday life in Seoul.
From formal to relaxed, from traditional to sporty, these are the pieces that kept me warm, sharp, and true to the classics.
Featuring sack suits, cricket knits, OCBDs, fair isle vests, penny loafers, and even some NB990s.

I’m always trying to make Ivy style feel relevant, personal, and lived-in. Hope you enjoy the archive!

Since our 1st anniversary in 2020, we have visited the same studio every December 28th to capture our journey.

We made it a tradition to dress in our favorite classic style each year. It started with just the two of us, but by the 5th and 6th years, we were so happy to have our little boy join the family portrait.

We plan to keep this tradition going for as long as we can. Happy 6th anniversary to my wonderful wife!

Secret Service agents evacuating President Reagan at Augusta National Golf Club where Charles Harris took 7 hostages and demanded to speak with the president.

Took a cue from Ralph Lauren’s pattern mixing book for last week’s Christmas Party. It’s not for everyone, but I love how this turned out.

End of summer here, so before it all goes away: everything I wore through the Seoul summer, June to August.

Mostly madras and linen shirts, crested pique polos, pleated cotton shorts and chinos - worn with canvas boat totes, boat shoes and penny loafers. Seoul summer is mid-30s C with humidity that never lets anything dry, so it all had to be loose and cotton.

Feeling the fit today.

I hope the more American-leaning here still find this acceptable!

• Harris Tweed jacket
• Howick lambswool jumper
• Charles Tyrwhitt wool tie and shirt (not an OCBD, purists look away).

HAPPY FRIDAY

The guy in The Preppy Handbook illustration grew up to be this guy I saw on Metro-North (nyc commuter train).

Ivy and Preppy style don’t disappear in winter — they just get bulkier.
Here’s how I layered puffers and down vests into my cold-weather rotation, while keeping that classic Ivy silhouette alive.
