Renewed for
SPRING
Spring. So many positive thoughts. Sun. Warmth. Green grass. Beautiful new spring merchandise at Hubert White. Fun new style pros comments from our eclectic sales staff. And, for the first spring in many years, no road construction taking place outside our front door! The power of new is really on display in the shop this season. Our Atelier Munro project is very obvious with its own space and products, all of which can be made to order. See the article on page 48. We are very proud to be one of a very select group of American retailers to offer this impressive collection. When you visit us, you will see the Munro Shop installation as well as some other updates throughout the store—new paint and display offerings in the clothing area, some new lighting as you enter the store from the Crystal Court, a cleaned-up presentation wall as you enter from 8th Street and even some new touches in our bathroom. It was so nice to have the construction taking place within our store as opposed to outside our door on the street or mall. We are very fortunate to have such a wonderful sales staff, but I never realized how different each of us is. Then Kevin and Brad started coming up with these style pro questions. We are very split on so many issues, even “Superman vs. Batman” and “Ford vs. Ferrari.” Read the article on page 46 and see. I look forward to seeing you in the shop.

TAKE ME OUT to the Twins Game
It’s going to be a big year for the Minnesota Twins. This season marks the 60th anniversary for Hubert White’s hometown baseball team, and they’re celebrating this milestone with some pretty exciting developments in terms of merchandise, food and entertainment at Target Field. To commemorate this momentous year, a patch has been added to all players’ caps and to the sleeves of their home, road and alternate jerseys. Plus, as far as merch goes, “we brought back the baby blue uniforms, which were our road uniform up through about 1985,” says Matt Hoy, senior vice president of operations for the Twins. “That throwback will be for this year only for the 60th season, and it’s really popular with the fans.” Hoy assures us there is a “full range of Bomba Squad” merch available too. The folks at Target Field also have enhanced the Gate 34 experience—the most populated and biggest gate at the stadium located right at the main entrance—by building out a bar, selling delicious burgers from their newest partner, Blue Door Pub, and bringing in interactive activities for kids on weekends on the newly built lawn area. And since the most important part of the overall Twins experience is the baseball game itself, luckily there are some exciting changes in that realm as well. “We had a tremendous season last year—we won 101 games and set the all-time record for homeruns with 307,” Hoy says. “We also re-signed a couple key pitchers and added a few free agents, so we are expecting a bigger and better season.” A variety of ticket packages are available for Twins games, from season- to single-game tickets to the new concept of a “season pass,” where fans pay a monthly fee of $49 for standing-room only access to every home game and have the option to move around all the little “neighborhoods” within the ballpark. The Twins’ first home game of the season is on April 2 against the Oakland Athletics, and we cannot wait.
Steak that SIZZLES
The newest location of one of the nation’s favorite steakhouses—801 Chophouse—has opened in the Twin Cities. The first 801 Chophouse restaurant was established in Des Moines, Iowa in 1993 and has since grown into six different locales across the Midwest. At Hubert White, we’re glad to welcome 801 Chophouse as neighbors to the Nicollet Mall. We love cutting into aged USDA prime steaks prepared in a variety of ways—black truffle butter, au poivre cognac cream or a classic béarnaise, to name a few. Fresh seafood options like Maine lobster and Alaskan king crab are also on the menu. Refreshments include smallbatch bourbons and fine wine from around the world. On Sundays, the restaurant will offer its signature three-course prix-fixe menu. Time to make a reservation! 801 Chophouse, 801 Nicollet Mall, Suite 100, Minneapolis, 612.230.2467, 801chophouse.com

Speaking of CUSTOM…
At Hubert White, we are taking our personalized service to the next level by opening a 300-square-feet Atelier Munro store-in-store this month. This young, Dutch menswear line offers our clients the option to custom order any pieces they want to add to their wardrobe. “Customization is a very important trend today and Munro customizes fit and details in all categories, from shoes, jeans, knits and casual shirts to formalwear to outerwear,” says Brad Sherman, Hubert White’s Atelier Munro specialist. The Munro shop-in-shop is outfitted with a display of finished garments representing the key looks of the season. Clients can explore an array of fabric samples and try-on sample garments to decide which made-to-measure pieces they want created especially for them. The large interactive computer screen allows clients to see the entire look before ordering. Four weeks after our tailors take your measurements in our fitting area, you’ll take home the pieces you designed. “No one does what Munro does with the same high taste level and sophistication,” says Sherman. “And the value quotient is excellent—custom suits start at $895 and jackets at $695.” With all the brands doing made-to-measure today, why did Hubert White choose Atelier Munro for its clientele? “We believe the younger client, a key target for this brand, desires his own look and will want to create it on his terms,” says Sherman. “It is important for this client to have his own space and to have the made-to-measure experience under his terms.”
What’s Old IS NEW
After a long wait, downtown Minneapolis’ The Dayton Project is slated to open in spring 2020. Many of the landmark building’s original features have been restored. Standing at more than 12 stories, it has 1.2 million square feet of space. Housed in a 100-year-old facility that was once Dayton’s and then a Macy’s department store, the new venture will offer a mix of office, retail and dining areas. The offices will offer perks for tenants such as a green rooftop terrace, private lounge and library spaces and a state-of–the-art health club. Most of the retail spaces are sized for smaller stores. “We want to find those users that are new to market, and more of a specialty type experience,” says Tricia Pitchford, a senior vice president at the leasing company Mid-America. One thing is for sure—one of the most highly anticipated portions of the project will be a 45,000-square-foot food hall and market designed by celebrity chef Andrew Zimmern.
Buttoned Up
Certain details are a dead giveaway that a piece has been custom made for its wearer. Surgeon cuffs—sleeve buttonholes on a men’s suit or sportcoat—are just one of them. Unlike off-the-rack with off-the-rack options, the buttons are not purely decorative, but functioning as well. This style of cuff originated back in the early 19th century when military field surgeons were required to wear suit jackets. As a way to avoid staining, tailors in London’s Savile Row neighborhood introduced buttoned cuffs so doctors could roll up the sleeves. Since then, the style has been synonymous with high-end men’s clothing, and today they are one of the marks of a wellmade jacket. Of course, in modern times, gents can just remove a jacket in the time it takes to unbutton a sleeve, but this fun detail is a clear sign of a custom suit. Surgeon cuffs also serve a style purpose—leaving the last button of the cuff undone will provide a peek-a-boo to a bold cufflink. Placement can vary—buttons can be kissing, meaning slightly overlapping, or neatly spaced out. Come into Hubert White and work with our style pros who can guide you through all the details of designing custom pieces that allow your style to shine through.

the
CORNELIANI LOOK
“Informality is the new luxury,” says the style director of this esteemed Italian menswear house. By Rita Guarna
Sartorial elegance can have an eloquence beyond words. But we wanted words anyway from Stefano Gaudioso Tramonte, style director for the Italian menswear brand Corneliani, so we put him on the spot with a few questions. Here’s what he told us. How would you describe the Corneliani man? “Today it is quite difficult to speak about a specific ‘kind’ of man. I prefer to speak about a ‘tribe’; that is, it’s less about age and more about your social environment and about your culture. Customers choose something not only because of the brand and the actual product, but even more because they feel that they belong to the same world as the brand they are buying. In the case of Corneliani, it’s refined and sophisticated. The Corneliani man knows what’s going on. He’s sensitive to beauty and authenticity; he’s spending money to live an experience, not to own products. He’s an elegant globe-trotter who loves Italy. No matter the age and nationality, our consumers are driven by experience, uniqueness and elegance.” Tell us a bit about the brand’s sartorial psyche. “Corneliani is devoted to excellence. We want to be the curators and creators of Italian style for men. We have a unique style and a distinctive and instinctive sense of Italian refinement and sophistication that comes from our origins, our heritage. Staying true to our roots, we relentlessly uphold the passion of Italian sophistication and lifestyle. Using the best Italian craftsmanship, we wish to create much more than a product: We want to deliver a service, a way of life and an ultimate experience of Italian excellence.” What is your background? “I was born in Milan in the ’70s, and part of my family was already active in the fashion industry. I grew up in my grandma’s big showroom in the center of Milan among beautiful fabrics, furs (at that time they were popular) and lots of tailors. When I was 21, I starting working for a European brand while still studying. It was my destiny to work in this industry, and I love it!” Explain your role as style director and how it differs from that of the creative director. “My role is not very common for our industry. I’m the style director, but at the same time I’m also the general merchandising manager. That means that on one side I have ownership of the creative
aspects of the job; on the other, I need to be very analytical and aware of the competition. I have a great team supporting me in both roles, style and merchandising.” What has been your biggest accomplishment since joining the brand in 2016? “From a ‘social’ point of view, I was very happy to be one of GQ’s Best-Dressed Men in 2019. Professionally, I’m proud to have the respect of the people I work with every day. I hope this beautiful brand becomes a major player in our arena.” What innovations can we expect from Corneliani in 2020 and beyond? “For SS20, Corneliani debuts Circle, a collection of garments made exclusively of natural and organic fibers from suppliers who have embarked on the path of sustainability. With this project, we are renewing our ties with our longstanding clients and new eco-sustainable consumers, who are increasingly attentive to the ‘nature’ of what they choose to wear. This approach represents an alignment with the methods, certifications and international standards that regulate the compatibility of industrial processes. “Innovation is very important, and we are always looking for new ways to represent our DNA. Presently, we are launching a new superlight knit jacket from an Italian supplier that modified its weaving machines to produce a sort of knitted fabric.” What about comfort and fit? “Today, comfort is the key word! We want to wear garments inside and outside, at work and during the weekend. We want to feel at ease and at the same time elegant—in every situation. Basically: effortless elegance in every moment.” What’s a staple in your wardrobe— from Corneliani and beyond? “My style is very simple, as my rule is ‘less is more.’ So in my wardrobe you will find straight-leg vintage Levi’s 501, T-shirts and sneakers. Of course, I have a lot of Corneliani garments, but my favorite is a Corneliani deconstructed and unlined blue suit in a special and exclusive fabric called Flawless. It is a wool Super 160s fabric, which, thanks to the use of nanotechnology to treat the yarn, is made waterproof, anti-stain and non-creasing.” What inspires you? “The truth is, I find inspiration every day from real
life. I’m a very curious person, and I love contemporary art, movies, music. There’s no structured process; it can come from small things. Of course, traveling and learning about new cultures and new habits always let my mind run.” Name a fashion icon you admire. “Audrey Hepburn, for her simple and clean timeless elegance. And Robert Redford for the same reasons.” Tell us something about you that people might not know. “I’m not a compulsive collector, but I love Adidas Superstar trainers. I have them in all possible colors. I’m a size 12, and it’s hard for me to find the right size, so whenever I find a nice pair, I buy them.” What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given? “‘Always put yourself in the shoes of other people before judging them.’ And it comes from my mom, my grandpa, my aunt—my whole family.” When you’re not working, where can we find you? “I don’t have much free time, so when I am free, I’m with my family.” What are you most proud of? “My two wonderful daughters.” Do you have any regrets? “No. I have a great job. I love what I do. I have a wonderful family; they are my life. I am a 47-yearold happy man.” Has the social climate of inclusivity and gender fluidity affected your vision? “Fluidity and inclusivity are the dominant characteristics of our time. This continual rhythm of change seems to dictate the beat of a new style. Fashion responds to this, offering concepts suited to the new geographic and existential nomadic restlessness, and ‘hybridization’ becomes the key word for men’s fashion. It is the most modern combination of tailored garments and sportswear. “Corneliani’s SS20 collection has been built around an idea of subtle effortlessness. For this reason, I worked to find new ways to mix and morph worlds and solutions—effortlessly. Informality is the new luxury, mixing shapes and functions, playing with materials, wearing progressive proportions. The result: effortless elegance.”

THE PART
Academy Award–winning costume designer Sandy Powell outfits some of the silver screen’s biggest names, inspiring audiences around the globe. By Darcey Gohring Great costumes can bring a story to life. Before an actor even utters a word, his or her clothes can convey a time period, a location, a personality and an overall mood. In the right hands, a film’s wardrobe can not only transport audiences but also inspire real-life fashion trends. And when some of Hollywood’s biggest names are looking to make a statement, one woman is on the top of the list: award-winning British costume designer Sandy Powell. The London-born creative has worked on almost 40 films since the 1980s. In that time, she has garnered 14 Oscar nominations (even competing against herself one year), making her the most nominated living artist in her field. To put it in terms most of us can understand, Powell has won the same number of Oscars (three) as Meryl Streep. (Wins were for 2009’s The Young Victoria, 2004’s The Aviator and 1998’s Shakespeare in Love.) A favorite of director Martin Scorsese, the 59-year-old has collaborated with him on such films as Gangs of New York, The Wolf of Wall Street, Hugo and last year’s The Irishman. A master at her craft, Powell has a knack for making wardrobes in period films somehow

feel fresh and current. There is always a bit of an edge to them. When she begins a project, she says her process is much the same whether it is a blockbuster or an indie film. The first step is to read the script and meet with the director. Then the real work begins—research, research and more research. “I have an extensive collection of books and photography: contemporary and period fashion, street photography, photojournalism,” she explains. “I plow through those, building up catalogs of images directly related to the period or just looking for pure inspiration.” In truth, for Powell the actual designing of the clothes is the smallest part of the process. She cites one example from her work on 2018’s Mary Poppins Returns. She created a whopping 448 looks for the movie, but it was the details that were most time-consuming. In the film, Meryl Streep’s character, inspired by the artistic bohemians of the early 20th century, had a scene that required a lot of movement. For the character’s complicated, handmade costume, the challenge Powell didn’t see coming was finding a material from which to fabricate bracelets that would not make a lot of noise.
HUBERT WH ITE S P RING/S U M M E R 2020
After much trial and error, Powell’s solution was to cast them in rubber. In the 2018 dark comedy The Favourite, she had the challenge of dressing stars Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz and Olivia Colman in over-the-top versions of 18th-century English clothes—with a slim budget and a tight timeline. “We weren’t making a conventional historical film,” Powell told British Vogue in 2019. “Silhouette-wise, there is nothing wrong with how the costumes were made. But, fabric-wise, artistic license was taken. It adds to the general feeling of the film.” She also kept the palette to mostly black and white, and with her creative vision the result was what Powell describes as a punk-rock version of a royal court. The latest Powell work to hit the big screen is The Glorias: A Life on the Road, a look at the life of feminist activist Gloria Steinem. For that 2020 release, Powell designed looks beginning in the 1940s and extending all the way to the present day. Once again, her costumes don’t exactly steal the scenes—they’re not supposed to do that—but they surely make her talented presence felt.

OUTSIDE Taking its cue from the lush traditions of Southern cooking, this alfresco summer supper is one even the host can enjoy.
In the annals of dinnertime hospitality, there are many strategies for “making it look easy.” Perhaps the most ingenious and diabolical of them is having it actually be easy. That’s the skinny on this outdoor dinner, perhaps with guests still drying off from a cooling dip. Setting the scandalously simple agenda is one of the to-die-for Southern-style recipes featured in celebrity chef and lifestyle expert Alex Hitz’s new tome, The Art of the Host: Recipes and Rules for Flawless Entertaining (Rizzoli New York). It’s a master class on hosting dinner parties, family brunches and holiday get-togethers with that unbeatable combination—delicious food and stunning presentation. And yes, many recipes are startlingly low-hassle. Everything served at this outdoor Los Angeles repast, for example, was prepared ahead of time and served cold—except for the chicken, which was extra tasty when warmed up slightly. Hitz’s hits include ideas as simple as adding a slice of lemon in a glass of water to inject color into your tablescape, or as clever as the blue-and-white gingham that serves as design inspiration. Your guests will toast your taste—and you’ll brazenly join in.

Directions Preheat the oven to 325°F. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken thighs with the salt and pepper until they are thoroughly coated. In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. When the foaming has subsided, sear the thighs until the skin is crisp and blackened in places. Assemble a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with the seared thighs, 1 cup of the barbecue sauce and the chicken stock. Place the sliced onions on the top and cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake the chicken for 2 hours 15 minutes. Remove it from the oven and transfer the chicken to a serving dish. Pour the remaining barbecue sauce on top of the chicken before serving.

BOURBON’S
new moment
The classic whiskey from the Bluegrass State evokes Americana like an old tintype. So why is it suddenly hot? By Darcey Gohring it’s an authentic spirit, made by real people like myself,” she says. “I believe the bourbon boom will continue for many years, because the world is just starting to discover it and we have a lot of room to grow across the globe.” Officially the nation’s only native spirit, bourbon is an American whiskey. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn’t actually have to be made in Kentucky—although 95 percent of it is, and loyalists say that without the state’s climate and local waters it just isn’t the same. Geography aside, the spirit does require three elements: corn, charred oak and time. It is that high concentration of corn that gives bourbon its initial sweet impression. The rest of the profile is influenced by factors such as aging, other ingredients (typically rye and barley) and the climate in which it is aged. The bourbon gets its rich, golden color—along with much of its flavor—from the charred oak. Besides mint juleps, bourbon can be used in other classics such as a Manhattan, an old fashioned or a whiskey sour or simply mixed into a sweet tea on a warm summer day. Purists say it’s even better served in a whiskey glass neat. If you’re trying bourbon for the first time, Gregory recommends starting with a lower proof and sampling different varieties. “There is a bourbon for every palate,” he says. “Bourbon is very elegant, but very complex. Every one has a little twist: They are all slightly different.” However you try this historic whiskey, take a cue from Kentucky natives—sit back, sip and take a moment to enjoy.
Traditional Mint Julep Ingredients n 2 oz. bourbon n ½ oz. simple syrup n 3 fresh mint leaves n crushed ice Directions Express the essential oils in the mint and rub them inside the glass. To the same glass, add simple syrup, bourbon and crushed ice. Stir. Garnish with more ice and fresh mint.

On the second of May, the mint juleps are sure to be flowing at the 146th Kentucky Derby. And these days that cocktail’s main ingredient, the pride of the Bluegrass State, is finishing in the money. Long a bar staple, bourbon is booming again: In just the past decade, Kentucky alone has gone from under 20 distilleries filling about 450,000 barrels to almost 70 filling 1.7 million. Bourbon has always carried Kentucky, but what makes it newly cool in New York and San Francisco? The answer: a combination of younger people embracing it and bartenders appreciating its versatility in crafting cocktails. “There is a surging cocktail culture—it’s the Mad Men effect,” says Eric Gregory, president of the Kentucky Distillers’ Association. “People are looking for an authentic experience.” Elizabeth McCall, assistant master distiller at the well-known Kentucky distillery Woodford Reserve, agrees. “Bourbon has been gaining in popularity because

SHEEP
One of the many pleasures of a trip to Bandon Dunes, the wildly popular golf resort in southern Oregon, is to gather with your partners in the pub after your rounds and argue over which course is the best. The resort is home to four 18-hole layouts—Bandon Dunes, Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails and Old Macdonald—all of which are among Golf magazine’s “Top 100 Courses in the United States.” Ask a dozen golfers to rate the quartet, and they’re apt to give you a dozen different rankings. Everyone has an opinion, and no one is wrong. Friendly debates are just part of the fun. And they’re about to get even more entertaining, because a fifth course at Bandon is in the works. It’s called the Sheep Ranch, and according to Golf, it might just be the finest of them all. Never mind the name; the Sheep Ranch, which will start welcoming guests on June 1, is not a ranch. Never has been. At one point, though, it was grazing ground for sheep. That was in the early aughts, when a rough-and-tumble layout was created on the site. To say the place was bare-bones is an understatement. It had just 13 holes, with no set routing; you could play the holes in any order that you liked. There was no irrigation system, only a fire truck for watering greens. A small flock of sheep served on the maintenance staff, chomping on the layout’s unkempt fairways. It was, in short, a quirky course, with an air of mystery around it. To arrange a tee time, you called the property’s caretaker and set up a rendezvous at a dirt road, where, for a greens fee of $100, he’d unlock a gate and let you in. But that was then. And it’s not how things will work at the Sheep Ranch anymore. Two years ago, the property’s longtime owners—Bandon Dunes developer Mike Keiser and business SPR IN G/SUMMER 2020 THE SU B STA N CE OF ST Y L E

partner Phil Friedmann—decided it was time to elevate the Sheep Ranch into a full-blown, world-class course. To orchestrate the project, they hired the celebrated design team of Coore & Crenshaw. Scrapping the original makeshift layout, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw dreamed up a stunner in its place. Among the striking features of the Sheep Ranch is the way it seizes on the drama of its setting. The property includes roughly a mile of coastline, more than any of Bandon’s other courses, with nine greens located along the bluffs. Everywhere you look are ocean views, except when you turn inland. At that point, what you see are artfully shaped fairways, threading their green fingers through gorse and ghostly pines. Because the Sheep Ranch occupies a windy site, its design is willfully player friendly. There are no sand bunkers—only grass bunkers— and the greens are open in front, so you can bound your approach shots low, under the breezes. The routing is intimate, with holes radiating out from clustered tee boxes and a shared green for the third and 16th holes. But the grandeur of the coastline also lends the course an impressive sense of scale. Like most anyone who visits Bandon Dunes, Keiser is often asked to name his favorite course. His answer never varies: He’s equally in love with all of them. Come June, he’ll have one more to love. HUBERT WH ITE S P RING/S U M M E R 2020

Why do we love sports cars? Speed and style no doubt have much to do with it, but it’s that visceral urge to command a beautiful piece of machinery that really drives us to seek out the hottest wheels in which to hit the roads. Now, what if there were a way to achieve that same level of luxurious locomotion on the golf course? Introducing the Garia SuperSport, just one of the Danish brand’s family of golf cars. (Yes, cars, never carts.) This stylish vehicle, made primarily of carbon fiber, has everything any gear enthusiast could ask for in a souped-up, luxury automobile: a waterproof, chocolate-brown leather interior, hand-stitched lounge seats, a top-of-the-line infotainment system and a wi-fi connection. Of course, there are some additional bells and whistles specific to your golfing experience too: a touch-enabled digital scoreboard and even a built-in mini-fridge. The car runs in three liquid metal finishes—Diamond White, Selenite Gray and Black Carbon—each an elusive, extravagant choice for your ride

that’s anything but par for the course when you’re strolling alongside those typical club models. The grill’s golf ball-esque dimples may be the only feature that will remind you that you are, in fact, driving a golf cart. The SuperSport model was created, Garia says, with the style of a Mercedes-Benz in mind. The luxury automaker’s influence is easy to recognize, as the SuperSport’s driving finesse and sleek concept are unmistakably Mercedes-like. It doesn’t zoom up and down a fairway as fast as a Benz-y would on an open highway (it tops out at 25 mph in the U.S.—it is a golf cart), but it’s street legal in the U.S. and Europe and can be driven wherever the avid golfer behind the wheel dares take it. So, how much for your personal Benz-buggy hybrid to zip around on the golf green? The SuperSport starts at a cool $77,999 without shipping or labor fees. It’s a top-of-the-line automobile in its most practical form for any serious sportsman and a guaranteed hole-in-one.

KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON
More than two dozen components go into the best custom shirts, and we’re not just talking about the garments you wear under a tuxedo or suit jacket. Atelier Munro custom crafts casual Friday go-tos such as polos and popovers precisely to your taste, and like its dress shirts, these pieces are made of fabrics sourced from Italy’s finest mills. Sure, the Dutch brand boasts a vibrant ready-to-wear collection, but fashion luxury means getting what you want and how you want it. Brushed cotton or linen? Classic or stretch? Oxford or twill? Paisley or striped? Atelier Munro does it all—and so much more.
THE BOTTOM LINE
It’s a fact that today’s modern man cherishes a custom suit—the jacket and trousers. With that in mind, Atelier Munro gives the same special attention devoted to suits to every pair of pants that it makes, from formalwear to dress chinos to denim. Yes, Atelier Munro will create jeans exactly to your liking. No longer will it take countless washes and wears to “break in” your jeans and five-pocket pants; tailors use your measurements so your bottoms fit and feel like a glove from day one. And to make certain your jeans and chinos are uniquely you, experts will work with you to build the perfect pair—dark or light wash, moleskin or cord, stretch or rigid, selvage or raw. Sure, many brands offer superb off-the-rack pieces, but nothing is more personal than custom pants by Atelier Munro.
TREAT YOUR FEET
Marathon runners and basketball players aren’t the only ones who wear sneakers on the job. As more offices embrace a business-casual environment, guys are passing on brogues and cap toes in favor of softer, cozier kicks. This, of course, doesn’t mean gentlemen should rely on sporting goods or warehouse stores to find their footwear. A true head-to-toe and made-to-measure company, Atelier Munro will help you create the perfect pair of luxury sneakers, whether you use them for work or weekends. Instead of excessive branding and bold logos, these sneakers are marked by the finest calfskin and suede, with options that look great when paired with a suit or joggers. Low-top or mid, double monk strap or Velcro—or even a Chelsea boot sneaker—Atelier Munro is a step in the right sartorial direction.
A LITTLE EXTRA
Jacket? Check. Shirt? Check. Denim? Check. Sneakers? Check. The final pieces of the business-casual puzzle are the accessories. Pair jeans with a self-designed leather or suede belt: You pick the color, buckle and more. And don’t forget to finish a smart sportcoat-andjeans look with a pocket square in your choice of fabric, pattern and monogram, of course.
