Is anyone else feeling like the small leg openings we see more and more of everyday make one’s feet look too large for their body? It is especially noticeable with boots. Am I just a curmudgeon in his late 20’s?
This is for Grayson at Well Worn, Worn Well and his awesome tumblr.

I have a wardrobe full of navy blazers.
If you only have one jacket it should be a navy blazer. It doesn’t need to be double breasted with brass buttons like something from the yacht club. It could be in cotton, heavy canvas, or unstructured so it can look relaxed. But it’s a good basic to start a wardrobe with, you can dress it up or dress it down; it can take you anywhere.
