Band of Ousiders by L

Of recent, I have embraced the brilliance of Scoot Sternberg’s clothing line “Band of Outsiders”. Besides the fact that he showcases his clothing on his website with Polaroids (definitely a wow factor for me and my partners), Band of Outsiders maintains a clean sense and sensibility of causal formal wear. For brevity sake, dressing up should not be so complicated!

Like his staple predecessor, Junya Watanabe, Mr. Outsider archetypical style reminds us why we all adore Americana-in one way or another. American style , which is distinctly different from Italian, French, and/or English, find a way to incorporate a lackadaisical element without looking uncoiffed. I admire the lack of pomp and circumstance which doesn’t muddles the presence of well choice classic staples that are neither pretentious nor overstated. In he own words Mr. Sternberg noted the line to be “Brook Brothers boys’ department circa 1970”…Brilliant! You see, rocking a pair of Sperry Top-Sider does not automatically mean pink popped collar Lacrosse polo. Know the difference!

Think Vampire Weekend “Mansard Roof.”
