After weeks apart, Christmas break flashed by. January came and the day I dreaded all break, the day Pat had to go back to Navy was here before I knew it. I sat in my car as he drove us down to Annapolis. I sulked. However, I could not contain myself when Pat looked at me, extremely serious, flared his nostrils as he inhaled, and said: "Do you smell that? I smell the crab cakes already!".
I died. I'm not sure if it was the flared nostrils, or his completely random comment...but it definitely made me about 0.0001% forgetful of the goodbye ahead.
What does this random moment have to do with my style blog? Well, I agree with Pat. There is something about the East Coast that is just admirable. Annapolis is quaint, yet sophisticated, and surrounded by a bay that just is perfection in my mind. The fashions can be described like so as well. From the popular Sperrys to Brooks Brothers' colorful chinos, the fashion is completely undeniable. Especially among the Midshipmen.
Let's have a look shall we:
Pat and his shipmate Ty.
Ty has a blog, which is one of my top reads. I highly recommend it:
Check it out!
(Tie: Vineyard Vines, Oxford: J.Crew,
Chinos: Vineyard Vines, Watch: Lacoste)
Plaid and Tattersall (Ty wearing tattersall)
Tattersall is very popular on the East Coast
It can be preppy, country, and looks great with a tie
and a tweed blazer

| Brooks Brothers galore! Pat wearing Lobster Chino Shorts from Brooks Brothers Matt wearing a Brooks Brothers Oxford and Chinos East Coast style can be described as Southern Prep with a Northern Flare. It has a lot of the loose cotton feels found in the south, but there is something unique about it. Here are some of my top picks for menswear this spring:
 Supima Place Stripe Button Mockneck
 Pat has these!  Vineyard Vines  Vineyard Vines  Brooks Brothers  Vineyard Vines
  Vineyard Vines Ties  Brooks Brothers Bow Tie (You know how I feel about Bow Ties) I also made a Polyvore to show some more of the East Coast Styles...Hope you enjoy! |
