Yes, even though we like to cater to the ladies, we still get numerous passionate pleas from well-heeled guys in hot pursuit of easy staples. For guys (and often girls, too) easy works. Easy equals classic and effortless (ie: Not trying too hard) and often, yes, easy to mix in with all the good stuff you already have. And while a rolled-up sleeve or an untucked shirt may seem common or even boring, men are often just paying homage to their cultural history—Kennedy, McQueen, and the like have all extended easy and infinitely cool inspiration. So, we decided to devote this week's column to our male counterparts, choosing five classic outfits that are both ridiculously simple but still incredibly stylish, too. From polkadot ties and trilby hats, to cashmere sweaters and peacoats—gents, DO try these looks at home.
