It’s not every day you get to meet a gentleman. It’s not everyday that you get to work with one. A day at the office ended in the team going to feast on the delicious flavours of Wagamama. It is strange how every day you see someone, yet fail to give their outfit recognition, until they are on the step above you waiting to be seated.
We lined up the stairs in a typical English manner, whilst our mouths watered with the smell coming from the Wagamama restaurant at Harvey Nichols. I was admiring Jonathan’s ensemble and decided that it needed to be featured on ensem-BLAH.
Ladies and to the few Gentlemen out there I give you Mister Jonathan Murdoch-Smith…
A simple two button royal blue Zara jacket with narrow lapels works well on someone with Jonathan’s build. Need I remind you Gents that you never wear both buttons fastened, only one.
A crisp white shirt, Lyle and Scott, is the perfect back drop for a tartan like bow tie to sit against. The colours are exaggerated by the white and the royal blue of the jacket, bringing out the best in the bow tie.
Now this is where Jonathan gets it right. His attention to detail, and being a Buyer’s Clerk in Harrods, is key.
Notice his pocket square. Another white background gives the delicate burgundy and pink roses a chance to grow out of his pocket. Although the bow tie and the pocket square are not the same it reminded me of a quote that Sir Edwin Hardy Amies said…
“A man should look as if he has bought his clothes with intelligence, put them on with care and then forgotten all about them.”
Mister Jonathan Murdoch-Smith I salute you.
Thank you.
