Grey Fox

A mature search for style. Fashion and menswear for all men.

Paul Stuart - inspiration for the stylish older man?

Saturday, 15 September 2012

I hadn't heard of Paul Stuart (it's a US company, with no UK presence as far as I can see) until I stumbled on this picture of a stylish grey fox. I followed them on Twitter and this led me to their website, where I found information and images describing Paul Stuart's products, recent and past.

There is much to influence the older man's search for style. Unusually, they acknowledge implicitly in their marketing that men can live to over 40 years of age. There are no ties at half mast, brogues without socks or over-tight blazers (so beloved of the streetstyle blogger brigade) here - just classic good taste with a contemporary twist where needed.




They model themselves partly on London's Savile Road, offering an Anglo-American style - classic blazers, shirts, ties etc. The British style comes in the style and shapes; the US element in the brighter (by UK tastes) checks and plaids for suits and jackets and different formal wear to that seen this side of the Pond. In case this all seems a bit old school for you, they have recently launched Phineas Cole, which they describe as -
...firmly rooted in the heritage and tradition of Paul Stuart, but it offers a reinterpretation with a slimmer, more contemporary silhouette. Phineas Cole embodies an aesthetic that brings the dramatic side of Paul Stuart into sharper focus.
Clearly they saw a need to reinterpret their existing products for a younger market, without undermining their intention to remain firmly rooted in the 70 year old Paul Stuart tradition. For my female visitors, there is a women's section here.

Here are a few things that caught my eye (the pheasant pocket square is my favourite item) -




Summer suede chukka boots

Swimming trunks

Wayfarer sunglasses

Double-breasted suit
And a blazer from the Phineas Cole range -
